COME TO TEXAS! (And play with coco.)
Those look plenty fun.
The drive would be fun, the stay would (probably) be fun, the drive back would be fun...
Now to convince my girlfriend to go to Texas.
I saw my first Dart close up a few days ago, striking car.
I was running errands with my girlfriend around the holidays, and decided to let her wait by the mall entrance and fetch the car instead of having her walk to the end of the parking row on a wonky ankle. I pull up to the door and there's a man with his family going "Aw, man, that's one of them Darts! Sweet car!" :lol:
Some updates on the car:
1. I posted on the Random Thoughts [Automotive] thread that the GPS worked intermittently and podcasts through USB were buggered. Turns out it's just pickier than an Italian supermodel. The GPS fails to initialize if its startup is interrupted by having the engine start or turning on the backup camera. If it's left alone to start, it works fine. The podcasts playing at 2x speed through USB was a problem with my phone, not the car.
2. If I fill up on a weekday and then drive to work, I can usually average ~30mpg for my travels. If I fill up on the weekend and then shuttle my girlfriend around the city, it drops to ~27. Both are better than what my Sentra would get.
3. The dead pedal is awkward. It's just a bit over half as long as my foot, so I have my heel on the floor and my toes on the top of the dead pedal. Can get tiring after a while.
4. The size and positions of the brake and gas makes heel-and-toe damn near impossible. Doesn't bother me much because I don't intend to race, but an FYI.
5. Also an FYI, hill start assist holds the car if you have it in reverse and pointed down a hill. As I park on a slope, this feature has proven quite helpful.
Still enjoying the car greatly.
