I Love To See This!!

Here is the going price of Hummer H3's.  Mine has about 77,000 miles.  When I went to pick it up the sales manager said that another dealer told him that he undersold the H3 and I said, "yeah I agree."  LOL

I paid $15,800 for it and that is with all the extras listed below.  Sometimes life is awesome!!

New Car Purchased

Yup, I finally got something to take place of the Mustang when the flakes start to fly.  I went for the littlest giant a 2007 Hummer H3.  In an unusual twist I hooked up with the same Hummer forum as the previous own of the H3.  Not only did they already know the rig but I connected with the previous owner and he gave me the low down on the setup.  Turns out he put a lot into it and gave me the list of everything that has been done.  The forum gallery even had pics of it in action at their gatherings.

Here is the parts breakdown as it was given to me.  

2007 H3 Luxury 3.7 L 

- Polar Bear brush guard and tail light protectors 

- GM Roof Marker lights 

- GM Undercarriage protection 

- Rough Country level kit with T-Bar tweak at 24 

-Skyjacker 7000 shocks 

- Crossed drilled rotors 

- Magnaflow exhaust 

- Trail Duty extended bump stops 

- NGK IRIDIUM plugs

- AirDoc intake

- AFE filter 

- 315-75-16 LT Eldorado Mud Claws 

- 55 watt off road lights


So needless to say I'm extremely excited to pick it up tomorrow.  The dealer replaced the windshield because of a small chip that seemed to be starting to spider.  I think I might continue his tradition of adding stuff to it perhaps starting with rock rails.  But first things first winter can kiss my ass.

McLaren MP4-12C Messed With Me.

Driving in Mississauga this McLaren pulled up next to me and started screwing with me as if my Mustang and his McLaren are at all evenly matched.  I'm guessing there is at least a $170,000 difference in price not to mention about a 400 hp difference.  Anyway I played along.  :)  It was amazing how easily he walked away from me.  Not even remotely close.  My girlfriend snapped a pic.

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG

I really like this entry level Mercedes. Quicker than my Mustang and around $40,000. This might be my next car.  Or maybe it's hot hatch brother the A 45 AMG.  Either way they look a little more sensible than my Mustang and are AWD.  http://www.mercedes-amg.com/webspecial/a45/index_eng.php

Mr. Ghost

I looked up from my cell phone and noticed this Rolls Royce sitting there. I think the plate says Mr. Ghost.

Dodge Challenger SRT 392 Review

A really fair review of the Challenger SRT 392.

The Perfect Crime!

I think I'm in the perfect situation.  My car insurance and registration is in the States and my driver's license is Canadian.  This seems to cause a lot of confusion for the Canadian police when I get pulled over. Since I've been in Canada I've been pulled over twice.

The first time I was driving down the street and some guy stepped in front of my car from a bus stop.  I saw it was a cop and he held out his hand as if telling me to stop or slow down.  Well instead I drove around him.  First of all I thought what a dumb ass stepping out in front of a speeding vehicle and secondly I saw no patrol car and thought I would be long gone before he called me in and they started looking for me.  Turns out I was wrong and he had a car stashed away. That fact pisses me off a bit because if I would have noticed he was running to his car I would have been VERY gone by the time he got going.  But I didn't notice and he hopped in it and caught up with me.  He asked me what the hell I was doing and I claimed I didn't notice he was a cop and was confused why someone was stepping in front of a moving vehicle.  I don't know if he bought it or not but my ticket was just $45 which was cheaper than any ticket I have ever gotten in my life. So I happily took it.

Then today I was pulled over again.  The officer was in the left turning lane and I was going straight so I thought he was too busy to bother with me.  Again I was wrong and he caught up and pulled me over.  He came up to my window and said, "Do you know you were doing 80km in a 50?"  I said, "Oh okay" rather blankly.  He said, "Well that's speeding."  I chuckled and said, "Yeah, I understand." He asked for license, insurance, and registration which a gave him.  He seemed rather confused by the odd cross country combo and went back to his car.  In just a few minutes he returned and gave it all back to me with a warning to slow down.  I thanked him wished him a good day.  I just got a warning for 30 over!!!

As I drove away I tried to understand what just happened.  The only thing I can think of is they don't keep a record of out of the country violations.  If they did he would have seen that just a few months ago I had been pulled over for speeding in nearly the same area.  Perhaps processing out of the country tickets might be a bigger pain to process. Also I think my tickets in Canada never reach my insurance company in the States because my rates have never changed.

It's the perfect situation!!
