diablopilot 2 #1 May 13, 2004 Easy steps. 1) When going to the local fast food resturaunt durring the busy lunch hour, don't join the line of 50,000 cars in the drive through. Shut your fucking gas guzzling SUV with the 33" tires and 4 inch exhaust off and go inside the returaunt. No one needs you burning up half a tank go gas while you car idles in it's most inefficient, biggest poluting state, just so you don't have to leave your air conditioned , satalite radio enhanced, DVD player equiped enviorment while you wait 20 minutes for your strawbery shake and fries. 2) Don't throw your strawwraper out the 10 mm crack you're willing to open the window. Put it in your ashtray. Oh yeah, put the fucking cell phone down too..... Fuck it. I've had it with people. I'm moving. Off the planet.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomAiello 26 #4 May 13, 2004 QuoteTHE MOST FUN car to drive, I'm told. It's the only car I've gone back to test drive again--not once, but twice. I think I spent a total of about two and a half hours test driving three different cars. So much fun it's crazy.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomAiello 26 #7 May 13, 2004 They start around $20k. You can find prices for various models/options on their web site. They range from the basic 115 hp version (basically a street legal go kart) up to a highly tuned, supercharged 205 hp model (try to imagine 205 hp in a 2000 pound car).-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 26 #8 May 13, 2004 QuoteWhy put the speedometer in the middle of the friggin' dashboard, though? It's the traditional style. The speedo is available mounted in front of the driver as an option, or automatically gets moved to the driver's side if you get the optional extra gauge package or GPS navigation system. Personally, I think the center speedo is pretty cool. It allows the passenger to tell you how fast you're going when you are zipping around corners too fast to take your eyes off the road. -- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomAiello 26 #10 May 13, 2004 Check out this MINI. The parts to do this mod from a stock car are sold as a kit, and run about $8000. There are some scary fast modified cars running around out there.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #11 May 13, 2004 QuoteThe secret to the Mini Stage III is to drive it like you're running from the cops.
