It's just the performance pack on the performance version that's cheaper...basically free.
Comes with wheels and carbon fiber shit I wouldn't want. A base performance with small wheels would be 5/7.

You mean someone was actually having fun in their car, on the street?

We were down by the stadiums and there wasn't any traffic. Long(ish) straight sections of wide road. That's the only stretch of pavement I have any semblance of fun on during my commute, and it's technically a detour.
The entire rest of the commute is on streets that are basically like this:
With a stop sign every 300'.

Neighbors a couple blocks from me have a street side charging port and electric-only car parking spot. They used to have a Chevy Volt. Traded it for a bright green/yellow Chevy Bolt.
Guys. It's hideous. It looks like an Aveo. The Volt is way way way better looking.

They do. Or people cross the street mid block. Or you're stuck behind a bus or on his bike riding 5 MPH. Or Ethel double parks in the street to unload her groceries. Or the vietnamese / mexican work transportation vans that stop to drop off a every 50 feet.Tarspin wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 10:07 amThe top picture is every street i take daily unless I'm onramping to a bigger road.

I'd want a rocket launcher. That's a crazy ass daily drive. Maybe your new job will take you down a better path?

I only spend 10 minutes in that bs though, so it isn't that bad. About the time I start to get annoyed I'm parking the car so The actual drive itself isn't much of a problem really, just that there's near zero chance to have any fun during it. On my way in there are 3 turns that I can rail pretty hard, assuming the light timing works out. On the way home I have a few detour routes to add in some lolz but again, only about 3 places.Tarspin wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 10:44 amWow!Johnny_P wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 10:19 am
