skumbucket Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 1992 Dodge Shadow. Except mine is blue and in good shape. dude, i had a 92 shadow in like forest green or something! probably the best, most consistent vehicle i've ever owned, aside from my latest, which i bought new. also, my primary wheels look kind of like this (minus the wheels): it has a very different paint job, but it's a sector nine/surf one longboard, nice long and even, no taper...with a kicktail! got it a couple years ago, some nice 79mm sector 9 wheels, some hand-made bearings built by a guy in winnipeg, independent trucks. it's totally sweet, although when i go to city hall for work with it in the the spring/summer/fall months the employees there tend to look at me funny. for longer distances: the chevrolet "optra 5" -- it's a model they bought from daewoo or some shit and sold for like two years in north america. i've never had a problem with it, which is surprising as my brother got the non-hatch model a year later and has had constant issues with it. fantastic mp3-cd stereo!

hickey Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 sweet man. 2008s also have moon roofs that actually open in the back seat.. we had a 2006 before and the back seat one was just a window basicallyalso, 2008s have the hood handle on the drivers side and not on the passengers side anymore. and automatic heat system have you tried driving a manual Cooper? that thing is so powerless its pathetic lol I went straight to the S. Kind of want a new one so I can get some upgrades but buying a house is more important. Plus the car runs like a champ. The S is totally the way to go with a Mini. I test drove an S and a regular model and the S blew it out of the water. The others are peppy, but the S screwed. Whenever I'm in San Francisco for work I rent a Mini. A fast little car on those hills is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgoodcore Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 the automatic cooper actually has more pep than the manual cooperand you're right, S blows 'em both away I had pulled up next to an old M3. I turned off the ASC so I could jump past him to get to make a right turn. I gas the hell out of it and ended up spinning the tires for a good second or two without moving an inch. The guy in the M3 has the look on his face like "what the fuck." When the tires got traction I got behind him, I think, and made my turn. My friend and I were absolutely amazed. I had no idea I could light the tires up like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
