Stimpy brought his turbo PT vert over last week. It looks awesome. Took me for a ride; it pulls and pulls and pulls and pulls. Awesome powerband. Pretty cool car.

Post some pics Jeff!!

Turbos are fun cars. My WRX was fun, but had a bit of turbo lag, my Legacy is much faster and the lag is almost non existant.
I was having a problem with the driver's side TGV sticking and this made the car run like shit. It cost me over $600 to get it replaced and now the car runs as fast as it did when new. I can hit well over 100 MPH on the on ramps to the Greenway here, so I have to take it easy on the gas pedal. :thumbleft:
Jeff post some pics. PT Cruisers can look pretty trick when customized.

Just saw this. I'm on Ipod right now, I'll fire up the Mac and post some glamour shots later. It's a shame we didn't get to run it against your car.

Hokay, I uploaded some pics. Enoy.

In Santa Cruz a couple of weeks ago.

Club meets. That's me next to a normal size person.

Just cruisin the coast.

After I first got it.

My "Man Pedal" REAL men have 3 pedals! (Actually it is a left foot accelerator pedal, that is a dead pedal on the right. Nerve damage sucks ass.

My homeboy Joe tries out the horn. He really digs "red car".

Anyway, those are some recent pics (mostly) At least I didn't bore y'all with old pics, these are all new boring pics!

Cool pics, man. These look like Vandenberg AFB when I was there in May. Or that first one might be Dagobah.

Those trees are pretty wild looking. I like that pic a lot. Both pics were taken during Monterey weekend staked out for the Tour d'Elegance.

I was wondering when you were going to see this post :bootyshake:

Nice pics dude. My brakes seem to work okay now after gravity bleeding them a few times too. Maybe we can do some runs when I get back from LA (I'm at my sister's right now).

Forgot to mention that I saw April that weekend, she said that she left a message on your MySpace. I know I never check mine, so send her a message, she said she is wondering how school is.

Yeah, they pulled a GM move; as soon asthey got it right, they fuck it up. The 2.4l Turbo is a super tunable car, I wish I could still drive a stick so I could get some real hp, but suppsedly @ 300 hp the autostick grenades. Then again, I'm old enough to know better then having a 300+ hp sport compact on the street. A little shot of nitrous to eliminate turbo lag will be zsufficient to make it move.
