Default New toy for me...

I traded out of my H3 into a Prius last January (and I like 1/2 from work) traded it (they gave me what I paid for my car last Jan new with 5,000 miles on it. The dealers can't keep the Priuses on car lots around here.) for an '05 SRT-6 with 11,000 miles on it as of today. Wow this is a fun car.

I have has two supercharged cars before. MINI Cooper S 160 hp stock added pulley, intake, header and exhaust bumped it up to 200 hp. Also had a Scion xB was 90 hp at the wheel. Ended up with 141 hp after a Power Enterprise supercharger, header and a custom exhaust. I'll have to dig around for some older picture of my xB with Cassia Riley from Penthouse.



The SRT makes my 17th car since 1991 when I was 19.
I have been watching this forum for some time keeping up on all of the tips and tricks.

Found a few pics of the old wheels.

Audi TT225 Quattro Roadster



Scion xB 90hp stock 141hp with Power Enterprise supercharger , and a ton of work via me . Thanks to Cassia Riley from Penthouse for posin' with my ride.



And a video of me in my MINI S 200hp with a little work on a nice curvy road. Used a helmet cam mounted to side mirror. Dad almost blacked out on a curve I pulled 1.1 Gs. A G-meter is a fun toy to have. Took the MINI up to Deals Gap with 160 other MINIs for a killer roll on US 129.

And the list goes on.

Congratulations and welcome to the SRT-6 club. Your choice in the Crossfire negates the fact that you actually had an xB.

Well; you just proved that you're moving up in the world. Your new toy also has the same RWHP as your old Mini and Scion combined. LOL Welcome

I'm only getting the SMART to sell. The SMARTs are bringing $1500 to $2500 over retail. My God Father is covering the retail and I get to keep the profit . Thats the only reason I'm getting one. Mine is slated for Oct Nov Dev delivery.

I ordered the SMART with padel shifters. It shifts just like my God Fathers old Ferrari 360 Modena. The SMART I test drove has a small delay between shifts which is like most of the Ferraris I have driven.

So are you trying to tell us you won't be around long?

Congrats on the SRT-6, there's a lot of good info on this site!

The Tracker and my Suburban were the bad weather vehicles. Thats when I was doubling up on cars and trucks.

Montana has a way about him. I think he means well. He just doesn't have the best social skills in the world. He is good at correcting spelling errors or at least pointing them out. LOL

Have fun if your XF.

PS Don't let your skirt get blown up.

More welcomes!

Trading a Prius for an SRT-6. Ha! That's got to be a first on this site. I hate Priuses. They look like jelly beans and most Prius drivers around here are slow jerks. On the highway, I ride their tail while driving my truck. They are hot sellers though. I here there's a six month backlog on new ones and one year old ones sell for more than they did new.

Anyway, congrats on your new SRT6. Enjoy the ride!

Yah going from a Hummer H3 to a Prius to a SRT-6 has got a lot of laughs.
I don't mind getting cussed out and flipped off in the H3 at all. We have a bunch of they think they know what they are talking about hippie freaks here in NC. Around here there is about 40 people waiting on the Priuses. I saw gas actually came down today.
