$179 Sol
I was in Wal-Mart today and they had a 12 volt, 2 seat, Pontiac Sol on sale for $179.00. Regular price was 212.00. They didn't have any Sky's.

I saw that. I like the "Princess" graphics.

And, I gotta admit, if they put pinky-purpley magenta tires on a Bluestone, it would be quite the color combination.

I must have got an early one because it didn't come with power door lock switches or a seat height adjuster.

And why can't they put DECENT CUP HOLDERS in the thing????? Damn!

Whoa......you want to actually see WHAT as a colour combination? The mear mention of the "Magenta-Bluestone" combination is considered as "visual abuse" and is prevented by Articles 14 17 and I think 21 of the Us Constitution.

Yeah, I didn't like the trunk space. I'm not sure the golf clubs will fit in the trunk with the top down!

(I love this thread!!!)

If I get the 14v Redline, how will it handle in snow?

I just loaned mine out to Voltaflow. They are going to replace the stock wiring with a high-capacity gage so that the electrons can really move. Once you open this thing up the performance gains are remarkable. It looks like this little battery really likes to charge.

Once I get it back from Voltaflow I am going to send it out to get the clamps on the battery terminals upgraded, too.

When I get the new magnemometer readings indicating the improved current flow, I will be sure to post the results...

We don't talk about Toy Racing on the forum here, the crazy mods will lock down this thread if you keep this up.
