My sister is looking at getting a different car so while we were at Car Max she made me test drive a mini. I have to say after all I have heard I was prepared to be floored, but it was meh.
 My Celi is dire need of and engine swap (242k org. engine, 4th gear syncros bad), but to be honest I like it more. The Mini was so much smoother and all, but it felt like it had no soul. Anyone else find this driving other cars? Only one I have liked more than the Celi was an 86 MR2.

Only one I have liked more than the Celi was an 86 MR2.I had a buddy that lived near a carmax, we used to go and test drive cars b/c I "was in the market", pretty much every weekend it was nice! We did an Integra, which wasn't bad, a Prelude SH, which was a heavy beast, an SVT Focus, which was a waste of my time! lol, my Celica of course, which I bought about an hour later, an Eclipse, which my a$$ didn't fit in, b/c it's so damn tight inside, and a few others which I can't remember. Good times. -Triscuit -------------------- 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STi 1974 Datsun 260Z 1997 Subaru Legacy L Wagon Kind of missin' my Celica GT! Hit me up if you're ever in my area. I'm always down for a meet. |
