Yes, I am also quite adept with the walkie-talkie.

We need to clone batgirlwildcat so we all can add a little more style and utility to our MINIs.

I've noticed it gets almost 'sluggish' with four full grown men in the car.

I also come with "car"aoke mode at no additional charge. If you prefer the super silent setting, you must upgrade to the "complete chrome package" which can be purchased at Tiffany's (disclaimer - this option will add SEVERAL carats additional weight).

No wonder my car felt more sluggish under accel than the one i first test drove.. OH wells... that just gives me more reason to tune it.. ..
Yo! Slowride. How many girl friends have you got? Your car is sluggish, but who cares!
