Default Just back from a midnight drive

What else can I say? There's nothing better than driving around town at midnight, with almost no one else on the road, windows down, winding out 2nd, 3rd gear, downshifting, upshifting, heel/toe....

The xA is such a great car.

I was wondering the same thing. He sure doesn't live around here. If he was out at midnight last night around here with his windows down, he would've froze his @ss off.

Ah, brings back memories of the good ol' days. I used to do the same thing in my Tercel when I lived in Florida -- just cruise the backroads in the week hours, windows down, music blaring....

try it at 2 or 3 am in the morning lot more enjoyable like on the hi-ways you only see semi's out at the time of the day and try not to fall asleep behind the wheel

i hear the best time to speed is like around 3 or 4 am if i remember correctly but if you get cought it aint my fault

Turbo? Hah....maybe if the 1NZ could handle it. boost over 7 psi and you are asking for trouble.

I'll stick to all motor. Besides, you don't need power for autocross.

First on the list is coilovers, then new wheels/tires.
