YES, i can pick it up today...they didn't even charge me for painting the mirrors...hppe they didn't forget to paint them...anyway, I'm pumped i've been a week and a half with out it! HOORAY!

There is a girl near my house with a black ECHO with chrome 13 inch rims, tint, and headlight covers....and a nice universal exhaust. The car farts all the way down the block...sounds like crap.

I dunno if she is cute or not....Everytime she drives by I am too busy laughing to see what she looks like. Her windows are pretty dark in that car. Heck if I owned that car I would want dark windows too. I wouldnt want anyone to see me in it.

I'd say the Toyota Echo probably has the durability of a potato chip. I wouldn't want to have an accident in one...

speaking of pos cars, there was this daewoo in the parking garage with all these red asian letterings ALL over the car, plus on the back it had civic type R (the R was in red and it was huge), but on the front it had a red spray painted grill, those that are characteristic of the daewoo cars (kinda like their symbol) so as to confuse the uninformed. I knew it wasn't a civic from the beginning but still had no idea really what type of car it was, until I saw the word daewoo in the lower part of the windshield for confirmation

Daewoos' are popular around here, I've seen plenty of them with rims, exhaust and stickers. Is there something I don't know about these cars?

Remember though gang, they are as fast or faster stock than a Coupe EX. They will also respond to mods better since they are lighter. Yeah they are ugly, but if you race, you just might be handed your azz.

WHAT???? An ECHO faster than my car... I don't think so. Those things run 10.x 60mph and 17s in the 1/4 "MAG RACING", but... I ran one at the track and it ran a 17.1 to my 15.8xx awhile ago... with just an intake and ported TB. The ECHO had i/e/wing, and was stick as well. The Hp/Weight ratio may be in the Echo's favor but the transmission and drive ratios are not performance oriented as is the EX.

Personally, I don't care if they are/can be faster, they still look like [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG] (I think we all agree on this)

Very VERY true.

Drive one and see. Very peppy... it's got more "pull" than our Civics.

But the doors ARE tinny (even tinnier than ours) and etc.......... but you know what? It's out to fight Korean cars, not Civics.

They have the Corolla for that. Which is an impressive Civic killer itself.
