Morning Skuzzy

[Max]

You get your car unburied yet? 

[texastc316]

yep, thats about what it looks like around here. more of a pain in the butt than anything. but it looks nice. sorta

[Coach]

You get your car unburied yet? 


It only takes about a 1/2 inch of snow to bury that thing he drives 

[Skuzzy]

Nice thing about the Cooper.  It is not heavy enough to sink into the snow.  I just rolled over the top of it and came in just fine.  The only problem was Pyro almost ran over it in the parking lot as he slid around in his truck.

[Estes]

Oh my. Skuzz drives a Cooper? Say it aint so! What happened to your Lexus?

[Skuzzy]

We still have the Lexus.

[trax1]

Did they close the schools there?  I remember growing up in Austin if we got as much as a 1/4in everything shut down.

[Estes]

Trax, funny you mention that. Here in Amarillo, we could have tons of snow and ice etc and the school would hire helicopter pilots and marines with dog sleds. God forbid they would ever have to make it a snow day.

Skuzzy has turned into a Metrosexual?        J/K Roy, is it an S or just the standard Coop?   My guess is Pyro was thinking "It's time to make the donuts".   

[Skuzzy]

It's a standard Coop.  Got it a couple of years ago.  Actually it is not that small of a car.  Wheelbase is about 1.5" shorter than a Nissan 370Z.  More headroom than our Lexus.  More legroom as well.  Handles like it is on rails.

And its ok.  I take a lot of grief over that car.  No biggie.

wait'll you try changing the plugs in that thing.

my understanding is that you need a special "star" spark plug socket.

I was looking at an S before Wife Ack shot it down.   The suspension on that thing is nice.   I was looking at one with "Sports Kit" suspension or something similar.   Nice car regardless Skuzz, and the Lexus.   

[Skuzzy]

I will never raise the bonnet on that car.  Everything about it is computer controlled.

Are you talking about the R56 engine, or the R53 and earlier?

I got the Sports suspension.  It does ride well.  I got the standard Coop as it has a spare tire so I am not stuck with running runflats.

Awesome.   That is a good, solid and very realistic point on the spare.   99% of the people wouldn't factor that in.   

[Zoney]

I have an S and a non supercharged as well.  Both 2002 models, both with over 100k on them.  The S is tweaked suspension and power wise.  Worst riding car I have ever had a ball to drive, hits over 150 mph now but the standard is just sweet.  Also faster through the turns because of the lighter weight.

Enjoy it sir <S>
