New car.
Yeah right, the vette is in the garage, but I drove this on an impulse and fell in love. I was planning on an S2k, but Ive already had one of those plus my wife likes these alot.
Supercharged six speed, 26k miles, but its like it rolled off the showroom yesterday, perfect condition, new 18' wheels with brand new tires. (Are radius wheels any good? Ive never heard of them).
Its slow as balls, but Christ, this thing feels like it would hammer an F1 car on an off ramp. Its ludicrous. Im loving it.

1/4 mile they're slow as piss (high 15's IIRC) but only due to FWD and the supercharger running out of steam. For daily driving, compared to any other stock non-V8 vehicle, it's top notch! Good friend of mine has a black/white '05 Cooper S with an Alta intake and Flik Wasp 17" wheels....little bugger is badass! That damn s/c kills me around town, but once I can open up my S it's bye-bye Mini!
