True.

By the time they get to me, you can't shut them up, "Hey, I can reach the sink now, I can change light bulbs!".

It's annoying, but what are you going to do?

I kind of miss the VW Jetta's 3-body trunk.
I think my Jettas had 4 body trunks. Loved it.

Good call. It's definitely a 2-midget trunk.

Just turned in a mercury mkz

Meh was alrighht, overly boosted brakes and steering
Interior was quiet but the tires were noisy which transmitted a lot of road noise
Dash was decent
Heated seats were terrible heated up my knee pit, but not my butt or lower back

For a "luxury" car no gps or sunroof
Back seat fit 2 adults fine
Big trunk

Orange Lamborghini Gallardo LP560...

*Rented* for 5 laps around the "short" course at Las Vegas MotorSpeedway.(wedding gift from my gal) Initial thoughts after driving a car NOT a Lamborghini, I totally understand where that money you spend on it goes. Sure it can't wheelie or stoppie, and AWD makes it a tad more difficult to do a burnout. But that thing sure can rocket around a track as quick as a literbike with a skilled rider. My only complaint( and this probably driver error) is that it tended to push a little into turns when coming in hot. But I was warned of that before selecting this car instead of a RWD car. But all I can say is Bucket List Item #52 has been checked off.

Hoping to return to Vegas for an Anniversary to do it all again.

5 laps in the car at the track, $299? But we included it on our trip to Vegas, so the whole trip to and from the track plus accomodations was alot more.

Check out exoticsracing.com to see their WHOLE fleet. We only got certain car choices as apart of our trip packages but they have at least 10 diff models.
