:dat:

Those things adjusted were like 18-way power adjustable for passenger and driver. You could even adjust how the side bolsters hugged you.

I'd love to pull the seats out of one just to see how much they weighed :lolol:

They were comfy as fuck, doe.

One if my GFs in high school had one of these as a hand-me-down from her dad. He clearly didn't understand what happens when you give a car with a back seat the size of Texas to a sexually active teenager.

atleast most of them are manual with heavy clutches, so I think they'll stall like no tomorrow.

Couple of interesting sightings today. There was a Colorado in :jimp: blurple parked up. It looks like a great package but if I were to :truk: I'd probably go :fullretard: on the ZR2 pkg in that color, just how I'm wired I guess.

I also drove by the Hype R in weiss, at first I thought it looked very cool but the back end with the wang and little wind barnacles turned me off. I'm glad I pulled the rip cord on that purchase.

Lastly, a Giulia brapped by me. Sounded and looked glorious. I remember when FCA was planning on building this at the Bramledesh plant. They probably should have!

I kept seeing giulia's every other days, mostly the non sporty ones, which I did not know they would sell it here.
