  1. does this have the single action/double action trigger that they put on the OSS?
  2. What other reason is there to buy a Mini, or any small car for that matter ? The big thing will be the Abarth Esseesse vs Cooper S, and Abarth Assetto Corse vs. S Works Cooper (should we get the Assetto Corse in the U.S.). Have you experienced any fuel problems with your Cooper? I read that there was a small percent of owners who were experiencing the fuel pump problems from the BMW M54 motor because they share the same fuel pump. However, while BMW offered to fix their nameplate cars, they're so far denying any claims Mini owners have.
  3. Yes and no. We are getting a similar car, but like the U.S.-Spec 500 it will have different specs. It will most likely have 10-20 more horsepower and gobs more torque than the Euro spec. They're saying it will be here by first quarter 2012 but you know how car companies can be somewhat ambitious about release dates. Troublemaker, I see what you're saying, but I think comparing it to B-segment cars is flawed. The guy who is looking to buy a Ford Focus or Chevy Cruze or Hyundai Elantra probably gives the 500 between 0-1% consideration in the decision process. The 500 is targeted in the same way the Mini Cooper is; affordable, reliable, and fun/fast. The saying for a long time has been you can have 2 of the 3, and the Mini proved to everyone that you can get affordable and fun/fast and that even if its a little unreliable, people will still love it. The 500 is trying to outdo Mini, and attempting to do so with new technology (look up the MultiAir engine if you haven't already, its a very cool system) and cheaper sticker price. I'll let you know as soon as we get our demo car at the Lincoln store for people to see.
  4. I'm curious as to why you'd say that. And if that's what you believe, I hope you'll at least keep an open mind until you get a chance to visit us when we open and thrash around one of our cars. Part of the reason the gas mileage is worse is that they've put a little weight on the 500 to adapt it to the U.S. market. http://www.greencarcongress.com/2010/11/fiat-20101120.html And if I can't lure you out for that, I bet you'll come visit when the Abarth Esseesse hits our shores. EDIT: Curb weight for Euro version is between 1910-2200lbs, which includes engine and transmission combinations not available to U.S. buyers. U.S. Spec starts at 2363 for 5-speed manual base and 2434 for 6-speed auto base, so that doesn't inlcude things like optional sunroof.
  5. can't wait til we open http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn69/caxide/minipeekfiat.png
  6. friend/future roommate is interested esp if they are without a price
  7. hide ya kids hide ya wife hide ya husbands CUZ BARREL SHROUDS BE RAPIN ERRBODY OUT HERE.
  8. itd be like banning engines above 6 cylinders or 300ci to prevent people from speeding. we already have speed limits. ITS ALREADY ILLEGAL TO SHOOT SOMEONE, CHANGING HOW MUCH AMMO IS IN A LEGAL MAGAZINE IS NOT GOING TO DETER SOMEONE FROM KILLING PEOPLE OR CHANGE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THEY WILL KILL.
  9. so....law abiding gun owners need to make a sacrifice so non-law abiding gun owners will have new laws to break to continue to be non-law abiding? yeah, this is clearly a common sense measure.
  10. HERP THE COP HAS A GUN ON TOO DOES THAT MEAN I CAN WEAR A GUN IN THE COURTHOUSE DERP? Fuckin NH hippies.
  11. http://images.wikia.com/southpark/images/4/4c/FreeHat05.jpg
  12. a google search reveals that you're not the only one who is getting calls from these asses despite being on fcc do not call list
  13. so they are perfectly fine using dead people's info and cellular numbers without discretion but won't give you a company name? start throwing FCC name around see if that scares any of them off.
  14. ask them if they believe a piece of paper/e-doc or the guy at the other end of the line saying the person who asked for the info is dead. then ask them if they have any offs to fuck.
  15. next time someone calls, demand to know where they got your info.
  16. In VT you're not even allowed to have any license plate frame at all. If thats not a law designed to give officers reasonable suspicion I don't know what is. Over my lifetime, I've known my dad to have been pulled over probably 2 dozen times. Never once has he gotten a ticket, because he's one of the most polite and professional people around. When he and I were on our way to Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, we were pulled over right at the Vermont/Canada border by a border patrol officer. He was hiding over the crest of a hill right beyond a 45 mph speed limit sign. Apparently within 1 mile of any U.S. border the speed limit is a max of 45, and during this traffic stop is when we learned of the VT law stated above. Officer basically explained the license plate law to us, as well as the speed limit change law, asked us where we were going and where we were coming from, wrote my dad a warning and had us on our way within 5 minutes. All because we had honest, professional/courteous answers to all his questions.
  17. MS3 is a fun car to drive but i think for a DD LGT is clear winner.
  18. it was a fake http://jalopnik.com/5739333/president-kennedys-ambulance-is-a-fake http://jalopnik.com/5740112/barrett+jackson-stonewalls-over-jfk-ambulance http://jalopnik.com/5740787/fake-jfk-ambulance-sells-for-120000 edit: thats not to say its not a REALLY nice example of a 1963 Bonneville ambulance, made to very accurately resemble (to the point of counterfeit?) the JFK ambulance.
  19. thats about where i figured it'd be. still not 100% sure I wanna part with it yet. considering trading this + cash on a handgun. really want a 1911 or xd40.
  20. From my research so far I think its either a Crown Grade or Anniversary Edition. Its a typical Mossberg 500A, only differences between this and a normal one: -Engraved receiver -Gold trigger Its not in NIB condition but I'm trying to get an idea of what its worth. I've only had it out 3 times shooting clays and cleaned it each time. Never had a problem with it. Pics: http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn69/caxide/20110122183246.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn69/caxide/20110122183238.jpg So any ideas on what I should use for its cash value, especially in a trade? EDIT: forgot to include; 28" vent rib barrel, wood stock.
  21. when i was in HS we'd always drive out to Johnstown and tear around in some cars from Denny Dotson. not like anyone who buys one of those cars expects it to be in perfect shape (or in any working order for that matter)
  22. shoot my first born. then i still have my dick and can make another. would you rather have an empty Nurburgring to yourself with a race-prepped Nissan GTR but only be allowed to drive in reverse or have a stock 1981 Lincoln Towncar on the Nurburgring with you in the passenger seat being driven by an 81 year old asian woman
  23. you may not have a vehicle but if you're a landscaper put a pic of your mower up. at least thats got 4 wheels. withholding + rep for pics of lawnmower
