Things I noticed when I test drove a 2K3

Things I noticed when I test drove a 2K3 majestic blue SE.
1. I like my gauges better
2. more horsepower
3. radio controls better
3. Don't quote me but I think the steering is smaller
4. it was an auto but no OD button but 3 gear options
5. TE has sweet wheels
6. like my seats better
7. moonroof options

But I will stick with my 2K SE. This morning I noticed that one of my roomates hit the curb and scratched a rim I am not worried about it. If your asking why I let my roomate drive it, it's because I work where it's really dirty I don't want my car smelling like my work. Besides she's usually good with it.

i let my girlfriend drive my car all the time... she's backed into a huge landscaping rock that probably weighs half a ton. it cost $400 to get a new bumper cover, paint, clearcoat, and labor to fix it like new. she's also put road rash on 3 of the wheels. it doesnt look as bad in the pictures, but it looks pretty nasty irl.




she's also inconsiderate when it comes to keeping the carpets and floormats clean. she uses them like a rug, to clean her shoes, heh. she drives on the right side of the road about 1" or so from the shoulder; i guess she doesnt fear a flat because i'll rescue her?

...but i still let her drive it anytime she wants.

A mistake we've all made (and still making).

You let her drive, and she does that to your car? My girl would have to about suck my brains out through my...well, you get the picture. Anyway, she'd have to be very nice to be able to drive/treat my car like that.

after being a manvvhore for 6 years... ive finally settled down. shes amazing, but she cannot drive!!! we've been together for 2 years and damn, ive been trying to teach her how to drive for most of those two years (i guess that doesn't reflect too kindly on myself, does it?)

she's been showing some improvement lately, but who knows. i think she resorts back to her old driving habits when i'm not in the car to "instruct" her. if the girl's gonna be my wife, i gotta let her drive my car. blehhhh... or wait. i think i just had an epiphany.

NO!! NO, SHE DOESNT!!!

thank you!

Here's how it goes these me, my best friend and his GF, and his brother. All of them have driven my car at least once. I don't care about the scratched wheel. Now if it was a aftermarket wheel I would be pi$$ed.
