Default Finally a dry day

in the Peoples Republik.

Picked up a different daughter this time. Put the car in Holy **** mode and went out to play. Set the screen to go/stop so she could see how little throttle I was giving it.

This thing is a wild friggen animal. You can steer with either the wheel or the right foot. Stepped on it in 3rd in a straight line and it lit the tires up. It's so traction challenged, it's silly, but I love it. My daughter never let go of the Oh **** handles.

First fill up, the computer said 13.9 mpg but who cares. And no issue at all filling it.

One small problem though. How do I remove the stupid grin from my face whenever I think about this car?

not that any of us fault you, but they did tell you about the break-in recommendations, yes?

I bought it used. Somebody else (presumably) followed the break in instructions.

Nice move, getting a housebroken cat. Some of us had a painful few months being cautious.

Or not.
