Groceries Had to pick up a few things for the family, took the long way to the store. Kind of my own spirited driving adventure....135 through nashville to bloomington, old st rd 37 up to the normal st rd 37, then 252 back 135. I did end up at the store, it just took 2 hours, one student driver, 4 elderly people, 26 handicapped placards, 3 cement trucks, 2 lawn mowers, and one shocked female bicyclist who watched me get there somewhere between impulse power and warp 10. Mental note; do not put frozen foods in the 'boot' after spirited joyous driving. Even if it is for only 6 minutes to home. | ||

DC33 wrote Im sure there a breakin period in which you are to go easy and below certain RPMs...... Yes, for the manufacturer's warranty, probably. But some people, including myself, do not buy into the break in easy theory. Count me as one of the run it hard, get the seals and rings set for life and never consume oil. | ||

The funny thing is that there is the mandatory child safety release inside the 'trunk'. Really. I would like to see anything beyond a duffel bag fit inside that thing. | ||

My wife drives a Yukon XL and loves Sam's Club. When she got another MGB, I said, "FINALLY, the PERFECT Sam's Club car!"  It is kind of funny going to the store in various vehicles. We used to almost always drive a pickup truck on errands, so never thought twice about selections in the store. One day we went to the farm store in Bedford, loaded up a drywall type cart with 4' tall hog panel fence sections, paid and rolled the cart into the parking lot. Then just stood there in silence staring at our 5 series Bimmer. Oops. | ||

I noticed the same release in the trunk of the Exige. I was really surprised by that one. | ||
