TheHaze Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 ...with purchasing cars. Here's what I just traded in on: http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l17/mikehaze_2006/Mini/MiniSside.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l17/mikehaze_2006/Mini/MiniSInt.jpg I didn't know supercharged cars were this fun! Hopefully I'm done buying cars for awhile, as this is my 7th and I've only driven for 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Your disease is unfortunately...chronic. You will not be happy with a car, even if you look back and say, "wow that car was perfect for me " I have learned to live with it. The local YMCA has some self help classes, but the car dealers make it a bitch to stay clean. BTW that looks like a fun ride...street legal supercharged go-kart. It should corner like its on rails. The mini has a great history behind it. The British Racing Green is sexy, as it should be. Have fun with it...will we see you autox-ing it?

Flyin Miata Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Good choice! I miss the one my dad had when they first came out in 2002. They really do handle like they're glued to the pavement, just gotta watch out for that torque steer, especially after switching from the Miata. By the way, if you are thinking about getting a cat-back, my dad still has the Borla system that he bought for his in the shed, if you are interested shoot me a PM. It's in Cleveland but I could figure out a way to bring it back with me next time I go home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Damn hood latch is on the passenger side. It was funny seeing 3 techs looking for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHaze Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Damn hood latch is on the passenger side. It was funny seeing 3 techs looking for it. It's funny because I asked to see the engine bay and I had to show the clueless salesman where the latch was. will we see you autox-ing it? Actually, the reason I even got the Miata was to auto-x in and have fun daily driving. So much for that. I will definitely be at the fun event but I've got such a hectic quarter with school and work that it'll be tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Theres only one event left, then you will have to wait the the whole lonely winter season, dreaming of what the car could do...but thats up to you! enjoy!!! One way or the other I will be there taking pics on the 20th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyin Miata Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 if he buys it i am sure theres more than enough room in the bird to bring it down.. since i come down minimum once a month Cool I'll let you know. I think I can stuff it in the passenger seat of the Miata though, nice thing about it being from a Mini is the fact that it isn't very long. Over the years I've found ways of fitting things in that car that would surprise you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbird Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 HAHAHA WTF?! I think I just saw you today up at Polaris driving your Miata...and now you have a new car...I'm so confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodRed Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Nice grab. I have always liked those cars since they came back out with them. Have fun on those corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Damn hood latch is on the passenger side. It was funny seeing 3 techs looking for it. Happened to me at work. I spent 45 minutes looking for the hood latch, going through the owners manual, ect. Called out Sean, he had trouble finding it too. We eventually found it...

Dr. Apex Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Meh....should have kept the miata but it's just my opinion, I just don't like the minis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 nice buy, always thought it was funny that they put back seats in the cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHaze Posted October 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 nice buy, always thought it was funny that they put back seats in the cars. Agreed. I'm average height and the back of my seat is still pressed against the backseats. The backseats fold down so there's tons of space for just carrying some stuff.

Called out Sean, he had trouble finding it too. We eventually found it... I remember that......sombody probably dropped the ball and forgot to move the release from the passenger side to the drivers side on the American versions. Nice buy, love the color.

excell Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I hear you. I keep hoping a deer runs out in front of me so I can get a TrailBlazer SS, but my current TrailBlazer is so good to me. I just packed $1500 worth of IKEA furniture in it yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmuckingham Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I was looking at a Sinister mini for awhile but i couldn't justify buying it. Plus how funny would it look having a 6'5" guy driving a car shorter in length then himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
