South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

You think that's crazy? Check this out...I have a Charleston Water bill, a St. Johns Water bill, a SCE&G bill, and a Berkley Electric bill. Now that's cuckoo...

This is just in the front of my mind since I just paid all these the other day.

 

wow... that is definitely a new one!

 

They do actually pull people over for having their high beams on!

I've seen people run high beams in broad daylight.

 

I also see this on the same cars every day on my way to work. I can tell who it is I am passing based on whether they have their high beams on or not

I swapped out the headlight bulbs for a distant family member and I told him to cycle the high beams because they were already on, he said, the lights are just on or off with this switch here, there is no other setting. Dude didn't even know there was such a thing and just constantly runs the high beams...

 

I bet the folks doing mail delivery in their personal vehicles get reimbursed per mile at govt rate...

 

I like the oskosh and it's based off an already commercial platform. Like the LLV is just on an S10 chassis and drivetrain. I think this makes most sense as far as repairs and maintenance goes.

 

That was for the larger trucks I thought.

 

Off topic but any opinions on the Mini Cooper S? I test drove one and loved it.

 

I'll take that man card from you now.

j/k hell if you like it that's all that matters!

Edit: were you at Century BMW when you looked at it?

 

Yep. I was very impressed. Felt and drove like a $30k car.

 

They’re all ugly. The electric one would be cool but probably cost way more than the others with the battery cells and all that.

 

That place is partnered with another dealer in Stone Mountain, which is where I got my Tacoma from is why I was asking.

I dunno, seems like a lot of money to drop on something that small. Was the performance that impressive, or what was it about it that impressed you so much?

 

I enjoyed them back during my valet days. Them and the Fiat Abarths were fun as hell to whip around.

 

@Matic you're the only one that I know who knows Fiats. What you think about this? Considering adding a go fast mobile to the family.

Mostly the quality of the interior and the smoothness of the ride. It’s also decently quick.

 

Those scat packs can haul ass. I’ve driven them a few times at the auto show. They move like hell.

 

The mini S drives well.

Just watch out for long-term. There was a fair amount of Miata/Mini crossover folks. The Mini has a habit of major breakage & insanely high repairs.
One vendor I was friends with put it this way for the first 2 Gens sold in the US: “Buy them new & drive the hell out of it, then get the hell away from it just before the warranty expired.” He owned 4, in succession, while driving the same 2 Miatas, one fairly basic & driven hard & the other a tricked out show car showing of his wares.
That was in the 10 years I dealt with him regularly.
(Then I had kids that got big enough to get REAL busy, etc & Miata modding & events pretty much stopped besides my own mountain runs- I lost contact with most of my Miata friends)

 

Any common issues in particular?
