They didn’t have **** this year at the auto show. ****, even the new GT-R was a right hand drive Jap version.

hertz, you can get shelby mustangs, their painted black and gold. you can request one, and they can get it for you.

BTW, how many horses does that mazdaspeed oil filler cap add?

the hertz stang can only be rented by business travelers and is just a NA v8 with intake and exhaust. You have to prove you are traveling with work proof and hotel.

haha the oil cap actually takes HP away because the engine is so distracted by its sexyness. So i prolly lose like 30hp'z .

Auto show sucks every year. They should just have a sign that says:

"Soccer moms and their douchebag, minivan driving husbands only"

If I wanted to look at minivans and lifted trucks I'd go to the target parking lot in Blaine.

odd...from what I read from ford and hertz, it was only suppose to be very specific to who it was rented too...sounds like a slip or they changed their minds.

And yes that oil cap is stock mmmm im loving the ms3. Some dude in a saturn ion? tried to race me at a light and then today some douche bag in a vw jetta (old one). 1. i cant take off from 1st gear in any sort of fast/racing fashion 2. the cobalt and ms3 will romp these things asses so why try. 3. i did romp then in 2nd gear hahah. they give you funny looks when you can chirp tires during 2nd by just pushing the gas harder.
