OT - my new addition

Got rid of my pickup truck for this little guy. This
will be my daily driver:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

What a hoot to drive! We love it. Like a go-kart on
rails. I bought Wifey a 330i earlier this year, but I can't
keep her out of this. She's always driving it now.
Major grin factor. :-)

6spd, leather, intercooled, super charged! Even came with seat
heaters. (Like I'll need that 2 weeks out of the year).

Unfortunately, without the pickup, I lost my primary
vehicle to transport the Titus SB. :-(

No worries. They have a cool setup for installing a bike
carrier on the back. Runs around 3 bills.

peace, and happy new year.

Nice! I have a riding buddy here who has one. I always get shoved in
the back (short leg advantage). He takes 90 degree turns at 35 miles an
hour. It scares the crap out of me!

He had a hitch carrier. The hitch is hidden when the carrier is not in
place.

Thanks Mitch.

Exactly what I'm going to get. (the hitch carrier. looks kinda
cool with the carrier off. Like a couple 30mm cannon's off the
backside. Should keep those SUV's in check). :-)

That's nothing, MTBBill takes 90's at 35 in his 4 door Tacoma 4x4.....with
exposure as a bonus scare!

Wife's Outback has heated seats....use them a lot to loosen up the back
before and after some rides so it works out to be more than a couple of
weeks if you use them for aches. I wish my Jeep had the heated
seats.....sure would come in handy tomorrow after a day of trail maintenance
at Black Canyon.

Yeah, blindfolded with his arms tied behind his back with the truck
navigating by super secret GPS/radar ****. Scared the hell out of me the
first time I rode with him on the twistiest road I've ever been on.

With passengers, I drive like a granny compared to Bill. I don't like
getting too nutso on the pavement solo either. However, when I hit the
dirt solo in the Silver Bullet, it's a drift-o-rama.

Funny thing, one day we were going to meet in the Berdoos, I'm on the
10 doing about 80 and I see him zooming up on me. I wave as he flashes
by at about the century mark.

I dunno if I want O'Neil or Porter to drive us to AZ...

sure can. It'll look sweet with my SB hanging off
the back. :-) (I managed to get my golf clubs in
the back after folding down the rear seats too. heehee
.....).

i had a friend in HS whose dad
fixed up one of the old
coopers . . 13" wheels IIRC,
and just inches from the
ground. really did feel like a
go-kart.
