Very cool car Wazabi :)

1000 Miles
1025 miles on it now after just one week of ownership.
Pros - - It's been a very comfortable commuter - A/C has been adequate - some people say it sucks but so far its been great - Transmission has adapted to me, much smoother shifting so hard to tell its a Manumatic Cons - The seat belt doesn't have a height adjuster, feels as though it will decapitate me. Easy fix for $3 from Autozne, Advanced etc. - Engine cover in trunk area does get warm - FIX: I put some Dynamat insulator in to go along with the factory insulation. On the fence - Mileage -, I'm getting BETTER than EPA, but I do understand for a 1760lb car it should do better. I'm on the fence. - Attention - I can't do anything wrong in this car or someone will spot me. Pick my nose, get a girlfriend (have a wife to start with), speed etc. I've had people stalk me to ask about the car - follow me to my destination, track me down in a store after I've been in there 10 minutes and this is just the tip of the iceberg. I don't mind for the most part so I put that on the fence as it could be a pro or con. |
It is a cute little car. There are at least two running around me. All I have to say is it is a very tiny car. Just joking but I've seen bigger go carts. :p
I had to follow one while going to work about two weeks ago and it did have some good pick up between stop signs and traffic lights. |
but he did say it shifts hard....

There are few cars that arent Ferrari's and Lambos that can get a crowd.
Deloreans, Kodiak Pick Up Conversions, Hummer H1's and Smartfortwos. The other day I saw a crowd at walmart around a car and I wanted to see what it was and it was a Smart, crazy how small they are. I wouldnt mind having one, no money though :p |
ALS - I've got a Cushman Turf Truckster that is bigger than the Smart
Lug_Nut - oh my!! AND I thought I proofread it decent DOH!!! :eek: Three6Eight - some of my other cars that I don't list here draw a crowd but this is off the scale. There was a lady that passed me today in oncoming traffic and the look on her face was hilarious - her jaw had dropped a good 10 inches (NO Lug_Nut NO!! Don't do it! :p ) I thought she was going to run into the median. Went to a car show on Saturday and they came out to the parking lot to ask me if I would drive onto the show field as I was "stealing" their spectators :thumbup: . I went on in as I know a good amount of the people in the local car show scene. H1's don't get that much attention round here, oh how'd I love to convert one to WVO. :rolleyes: |
if its so easy to paint, take care of that unattractive and just plain odd silver... paint it red like the rest, car will look 10x better!

Before I go making modifications I need to see if I'll be keeping it or not. 4 months to decide before the next one comes in. |

Scary story...Boattail Auburn Speedsters (circa 1935) came with a little placard on the dashboard certifying that that individual car had been driven in excess of 100mph. I wonder what procedure the owners manual gave for break-in?!? |
