Yes, I suppose that going VROOOM with the shifter makes sense but extend the steering sound to SCREEEEEECH at least.

I would pretend like I'm getting road head. hell might even bring a broad to see how comfortable it is in a car that small. and if anyone asks just tell them, "I need to know how functional this car is for my needs.".

I need to move to the "Land of the Super Soccer Mom Racers" wherever that is.

Apparently, despite the believe on here that every Soccer Mom in an Odyssey outruns the 86 all the time, I keep getting stuck behind them here.

Just today, my morning commute was 15 minutes longer than it should have been because I got stuck behind one for 10 miles going 10 miles under the speed limit. (Two lane road 55MPH speed limit, no where to pass). Just as she pulled off, another pulled out of a driveway in front of me that decided -15MPH was the proper speed.

Ugggghhhh.....

@Dadhawk, this is why a turbo is useful. you only need a tiny bit of room to pass (even if its a double yellow) so technically the less time you spend across the lanes, the safer you are.

Er go,

Turbo=safer dadhawk

cdrazic93 · 04-24-2015, 12:59 PM

Understand, but on this particular road you rarely can see far enough ahead to pass safely (lots of curves, rolling hills, blind spots). I'd rather take the additional 15 minutes than end up explaining how I managed to run a school bus off the road....

Dont worry the kids will love the new bumpiness. I had an old bus driver that took corners at like 45mph. he lasted 2 weeks before he was fired lol

When I was in K-12, high school seniors drove the school buses. It was NEVER a dull moment. We used to fight over the back seats because that's where you could catch the best air on the rough roads.

That was pretty common in the South up to the late 70's from what I understand. When my kids started to school it amazed me adults were driving the school buses. I was like "wait, where's the fun in that!"

Where did you go to school? I thought we were about the same age.

edit: nvm, I kept reading.

So it was like them Duke Boys jumping a school bus over the creek.

You guys forgot to mention that I should also make the turbo fluttering and blow-off valve sounds. Since I haven't driven an MT yet, there is also the gear grinding noise :P
