Evil thoughts of change

Damn, Gary,

I was gonna offer you a straight-up trade for my Elise, but I'm afraid the noises and defects would just annoy you about her!

Pullin your leg, of course.

I know what you're saying... I'm getting to that point with the VX, too. Often times, I want to just take care of all the major stuff and unload it and spend the money on hair plugs or something.

Hey Gary,
Here is some ideas that will still turn a few heads:
www.go-t-rex.com
or
www.grinnallcars.com
check the Scorpion III
or build one -
www.factoryfive.com
or
www.smart.com
I met a guy who brought a Smart Roadster up from Mexico - he gets
73 miles per gallon.

By the way, the Mini Cooper S is a badass handling car. You may also want to consider:

• Lotus Elise (35 mpg highway - starting at around $33k used)
• Saturn Sky or Pontiac Solstice
• Honda S2000 (decent mpg)
• Evo or STi

Ok, there is a vehicle that I would trade the VX for.

The Ariel Atom. For those that have seen the Top Gear episode you know why. Those that haven't watch this.

AWSOME! You've got to love that "Rocket sled" face.
It's power to weight RATIO's that rule!
I'd lose my Driver's License for life, in less than a week.
I bet it gets great mpg though.

Starting at $35,000. They have a place in Ashland, Oregon. I should go check out the demo. According to their FAQ, some have already been licensed in the U.S.

WOW, 'she who must be obeyed' just bought the 06 Suzuki Grand Vitara Luxury trim, with 2 grand of accessories was still under 26 grand. Very nice, roomy, all the bells and whistles, 4x4 that can be towed flat, certainly worth a test drive

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]Yes the VX does suck the gas however I've resorted to just weekends.....mine gets about 17mpg....not bad for a '99 i don't think.....my daily car is a 2006 Pontiac Vibe (Abyss) It's nice rides nice, 7speaker monsoon 6 disc in dash cd player sun roof....blah blah but it gets 34 mpg. maybe check out one of these....I hardly ever have to stop at the gas station.....
