New Truck - Practically a supercar, pretty SAVAGE

[ExtraSlow]

Ok, not a truck, but it's a replacement for a truck, so that counts, right? Also, I'm pretty sure with the studded winter tires, it qualifies as a supercar. As some of you will know, it's not a high HP car, but when the power hits, it can be downright savage. Only car that could beat this would be a Hyundai Veloster, but I'm not sure I could pull off that image.

Ichishima says it's a racecar:

Is it fully loaded?

I'd rather take the bus then that. But eh, its a good fit for you

You never mentioned the aerodynamic rims that increase top speed

Only if it was a fully loaded super-bus right?

Well fully loaded, minus a few options...

Clearly the red colour makes it a super car .....youre putting a lot of heat on yourself!!!

Hopefully it treats you as well as it did the previous owner. I liked driving the red one so much, I went and got my own new one a couple winters ago. Great cars. That car is now with another beyonder.

Honestly not sure what options were available back in 2010, but it might be. Plus, tasteful aftermarket upgrades like bluetooth stereo headunit, Acura EL rims with studded tires, and pre-wired for dash-cam.

Serious question, have you ever taken the bus to commute? I can say with some authority, this is better.

Plans for this are more of a winter hooni-mobile than an all out top speed car, although you are right, those rims are pretty much all you'll see out on the Bonneville Salt Flats. I might part them out if the price is right.

Yeap. Last time I was on a train was in grade 10 cause my moms '88 chev sprint broke down, and I used that to goto school after dropping her off at work.. So anyways, some guy pushed me into a crowded group of people while on the train, told me he''s making room, and asked if I wanted to make something of it.. i said sure.

So he caught up to me while boarding the bus with 6 of his buddies. After the 7 of us boarded they started threatening to beat the shit out of me the moment I got off the bus. In a fit of rage, I stood up, and beat the shit out of the main talker, after the scuffle, and the bus driver stopping the bus, I threw him off it. As he rolled out, one of his buddies threw my shoe off the bus, as it came off during the altercation. Being poor, I wanted the shoe back, so I stepped off the bus, where I got the shit beat outta me, lol. I actually got pretty hurt, at least I got the shoe back though, but never used public transit again.

But I'd still use that, over that little fit. If its not fully loaded I'm NOT interested!

That story beats any of mine, you win sir.

I am with Ichishima-san, this is is race car. Look at these sick rally-style wheels for winter.

I've been following the photography threads, and apparently industrial settings are pretty trendy now, thought I'd give it a shot.

I see there is a beefy Curt(tm) hitch on this bad boy too. Come camping season, I may pull my trailer with this. I know it's got the power, but the rear suspension has been tuned more for lap times than load carrying, might be a bit unsteady under the tongue weight. I am sure I can rig that up. I give it one thumbs-sideways until some mods are made.

Took the wife and kids out for a rip today. Fits all four of us no problem. Had to keep my right foot light, didn't want to attract the police with this heat-magnet.
