Grandpa cant handle the SSEi
Well we needed his truck to go to the junk yard and so i let him drive the SSEi to work cause well long story. Ne ways, when i get home today, me and mom walk in and he tells me i cant handle that car, everytime you step on the gas, it just takes off, i bet that car really gets up and goes!! I was like yup, i thought that was so funny i just had to share it!

lol..reminds me of my dad..hes in his mid 60s now so I guess hes getting old..anyway he would not go past 3000RPM (anyone who remembers HARO'* dashoverlay)..well this is what it was like lol.
My mom on the other hand currently is employed and has money and is trying to find a GTP or SSEi...I told her to buy a L36, she pretty much told me to f* off and said "oh I need the supercharger" All I did was let her drive it on a 2 lane highway and try out the passing...yeah even for a S1 it does go pretty good.
Sadly my dad bought a '81 Mercedes Diesel that gets like 45mpg instead..will never understand how a guy who at one point purchased a corvette new in the 70s, and several other fast cars...resorts back to 100hp pos. hmm....maybe my mom can kick his a$$

The grandpa in question is my dad and he'* 77 years old. He use to drive fast all the time. He taught me how to drive and how to be a defensive driver. It made me laugh when he said that because in his younger day this car would be right up his alley. I guess years of my mother telling him to drive slower has taken affect on him. It is funny because whenever I ride with them he will still speed but eventually Mom gets onto him and asks how fast he'* going. My mother use to like fast cars/bikes- she once stood up on the back of a bike while going very fast That is something I would never think of doing. I guess age makes you slow down :(
