Ask me anything.

Edit: The best way to describe driving it was like bread. It was that bland. It didn't have any sense of cornering or where the wheels were going and just rolled about. I felt like it would understeer if you pushed it relatively hard. The engine/drivetrain was...the worst. You would put your foot down and it would make more noise, but it wouldn't go anywhere. It legitimately had a hard time making it up my driveway, which has MAYBE a 15º grade, if even close to that.

How many times did you fall asleep at the wheel?

Well, you were conscious enough to post this, so... there goes my question.

Nope, it does not knee. The button to turn it on and off is above the curve of the dash, next to the top of the steering wheel. Also, that's an amazing user name. I haven't seen you around these parts before. You new here?

Everyone is going to make joke questions, so I'm going to try for the most offensive right off the bat.

Have you come out to your parents yet?

It's okay because I warned everyone first #ironichomophobiaisokay

I drove a 07 earlier same feeling. There's absolutely NO feeling in the steering wheel and it DOES NOT GO.

I've been (quite sadly and against my will) driving a prius on the roadtrip I'm currently on and have discovered so far that it takes 4 sexonds for the transmission ,with your foot flat to the floor, to realize you actually want to accelerate. I've found an alarming tendancy for it to drift all over the road at speeds above 85. Learned that you might as well be playing a gameboy for all the feedback it gives. And that they really only get around 43 mpg. Have your discoveries differed from mine.

Were you, or are are you now contemplating handing in your jalop and/or man cards?

Does your ankle hurt from straining it so much, trying to push the pedal even further?

Dsscats > Trevor Mohr 07/23/2014 at 00:40

It would normally be yes, but the mushyness meant nothing was felt.

were you forced to? If so, how did you keep yourself from commiting suicide and/or running into a telephone pole to make the torture stop?

In all seriousness, how crappy are the tires in reality (noise and grip)

Ah. I'm thankful to see you are still alive and surviving.

I was forced to (paid to wash it). And I'm not too sure about the tires because I didn't top 25.

To be honest, it was kinda nice at low speeds (not including actually driving). The seats were squishy, the steering wheel was soft and it was quiet.

if Clarkson was remotely accurate, a 90 degree turn at that speed would tell you XD

Nope! -_-

Did you at least find it to be an interesting experience?

Dsscats > K-Roll-PorscheTamer 07/23/2014 at 01:12

Enlightening, yes. I understand why people buy it if it's fully loaded. It's pretty comfy.

That's good, a friend of mine has one; and she says that it's quite comfy.

Why would you subject yourself to such an experience?

It was my neighbor's car and she payed me to wash it.
