Married life will do that to ya, I hear.

Huh? *tilts head*

Re: WOW
Hells yeah!
I think I’m going to see about having it lowered and go for some nice neon effects too. Oh, and I figure if I take out the rear seats I have room for a nice subwoofer.
Pimp my ride, indeed!

Re: WOW
Go to WallyWorld and get some chrome-like spinning hubcaps! Nothing says “classy” like fake spinners.
Congrats on the new ride!

Well, the performance is probably going to suck, relatively speaking. The little inline-4 is pretty perky for what it is, but it’s still just a 4-cylinder in the end. Here’s what I found for a 2003 model – there haven’t really been any significant changes since then (for the performance specs, the two numbers are as new, then after 40,000 miles):
Engine type: DOHC 16-valve inline-4, aluminum block and head, port fuel injection
Displacement: 143 cu in, 2354cc
Power (SAE net): 160 bhp @ 5500 rpm
Torque (SAE net): 161 lb-ft @ 4500 rpm
Transmission: 5-speed manual
Wheelbase: 101.4 in
Length/width/height: 166.5/71.5/70.4 in
Curb weight: 3371 lb
Performance: new, 40,000
Zero to 60 mph: 8.4 sec, 9.1 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 27.2 sec, 29.9 sec
Street start, 5-60 mph: 8.7 sec, 9.6 sec
Standing 1/4-mile: 16.6 sec, 16.9 sec
@ 84 mph, @ 81 mph
Braking, 70-0 mph: 193 ft, 183 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.76 g, —
Top speed (governor limited): 110 mph, 110 mph
EPA fuel economy, city driving: 21 mpg
C/D-observed fuel economy: 25 mpg
Unscheduled oil additions: 0 qt

I’m ignoring you. La la la la la…

Re: WOW
Spinning rims! Woo!
Actually, the wheels are definitely different from the 2003 model, and I’m afraid the change wasn’t for the better. That’s a pretty low priority to fix, though.

Well, it’s still in the prototype stages.

Oh, I won’t disagree that they’re ugly 🙂 But damn, they’re functional, and that makes me happy. And thanks!
