Was lucky enough to demo one for a weekend. (perks of the job)

Having never seen one before i thought i'd surprise the misses with a day to Palmy in a italian sports car.
Get to the showroom and to my surprise the thing was tiny. Kinda of a little snotty rich kid in a car.
I'm 6ft and had to put the seat right back.

Gets lots of looks, unfortunately its for the wrong reason. (everyone thinks your a hairdresser).

But when an aussie bogan in a XR8 ute wanted to drag off the lights, it thought i'd give it a go.
With the flick of a few switches and a turn of a dial it was ready.
And with a punch and slap from my girlfriend i was off.
I nearly went out the back, **** it was fast.
I blew the ute of by 2 gear and hit about 120km on pittwater rd before i realised i should slow down.

It handled corners like a go kart and was a ball.
Way better then a motorbike and fun as hell.

Bottom line, dont buy one if you need a new surf car (i doubt a boogie board would fit in its boot), but if your loaded, want a car thats easy to park and make city driving fun. Go Nuts.
I would if i had some coin.

A mates got one to commute to the City on wet days. You're right you wouldn't get a boogie board in it..

But the SUP boys would somehow manage a 666 on the roof

DIALOGUE BETWEEN A LADY INTERVIEWER WITH A MALE BEER DRINKER:



Lady Interviewer: Do you drink every day?


Man: Yes.


Lady Interviewer: How much a day?


Man: Around 3 six-packs starting at noon.


Lady Interviewer: How much does a 6-pack cost?


Man: Roughly $10.00 at a deli.


Lady Interviewer: And how long have you been drinking like that?


Man: 15 years.


Lady Interviewer: So with a six-pack costing $10.00, and you consuming 3 six-packs a day, you are spending roughly $900 each month. In one year, you would then be spending $10,800, correct?


Man: Correct.


Lady Interviewer: If in 1 year you spend $10,800 on beer, not accounting for inflation, 15 years puts your spending roughly $162,000; correct?


Man: Correct.


Lady Interviewer: Did it ever occur to you that if you did not drink for the last 15 years, you could have bought a Ferrari?


Man: Do you drink?


Lady Interviewer: No.


Man: So where's your ****in' Ferrari?








Cheers
