The Smartie January 01, 2013, 10:46:59 am Yahoo Message Number: 10377Don't know exactly what we'll do with this yet, but it's in the drivewayand can be flat towed if I want. BlueOx makes a baseplate for it that'sabout $400 and says it takes four hours labor to install. Funny thing isthe car weighs 1875 lbs so technically doesn't require supplementalbraking. I've got the Brake buddy in the Vue I can always use though.Not sure if we'll drag it or not, but that's the roller skate my wifewill be going back and forth to work in twice a week.Greg Quote Selected

I got to play with it a bit today because it wasraining like crazy and dark when Kathy went to work...so she didn't wantto drive the new car. By mid morning it cleared up a bit so I ran myerrands in it. Interesting little car :-) So far my only complaint isthe seats are hard even though they are the upgraded heated leather seats.Greg Quote Selected
