College Car
 
I just bought my 18 year old son a college car. He drove a **** box 2005 Dodge Neon for the last two years. The car started

to make a disturbing pinging noise under load so we thought we probably should upgrade before he heads off to college. He leaves in a few weeks so we had to act fast. This is what we bought this morning. I'm not sure who has ever driven one of these little rocket ships but holy **** are they fun to drive!

Oh yea those are cool.

Did a lot of work with Subaru years ago the young engineers in Japan had all kinds of those modified.

they were a blast.

A lot nicer than what I had. 51 Dodge 5 window step side. Wish I had it back, would make a great street rod.

We drove the car home about 30 miles from the dealership. We stopped for gas and I asked if I could drive it for a bit. At first I was like well ok it sounds good but where's the go. Then I started revving the little four cylinder and making boost and wow! This little burner can move, fun car!!!

Cool rocket ship but they always sound like their running on 3 cylinders to me and the kids are annoying around here revving them To get the boost to pop off.
