Xr6t ... Amazing New Weight Loss Treatment

[Antisocial]

Has any one else lost weight or noticed an increase in general health and fitness since taking delivery of their new XR6T?

Ignoring the euphoric KEN type state most people attain from the week before to the month after delivery of your XR6T, which in most well adjusted non-colour compulsive type people simply subsides into a permanent silly grin. I mean quantifiably physicalogical change, for example

Better diet, ..as I use my car for work and spend an inordinately large amount of time driving about the place I used to eat a lot of junk food and McCrap in the car...lost count of the number of times the centre console of my non drink holder equipped company VS Dunnydore (I had no say in it OK! ) was drowned in coke as I stopped in a hurry.

This is my 3rd new car in 6 years and I still ate lunch in my $50,000 Pajero, but all this has ceased when I got the nice leather interior in the XR, no food has been consumed whilst even sitting in the car, let alone in motion. No more twisties and choc coated ice cream bits falling to the floor as I hurtle from here to Wagga. I stop at proper restaurants with seats and everything and sit down with other adults and eat my food slowly rather than, shoving it down between lane changes...

Then there is all the extra XR induced walking...

I now park, what feels like 4 kilometres from any other cars in any car park, way over in a corner far away from the mums and their car door thumping prams etc then walk for miles to get to the shops. And even though I park way off over the horizon away from any other cars, when I come back there is usually 2 or 3 like minded individuals with XR's or a 200SX, BMW, HSV or WRX parked next to me, as if hiding from all the other less sensitive car 'users'.

…My wife tells me I am too poor to be eccentric and that I am just weird, can that be true?

YCL.....Are you weird ........yep!!!

Then again stable sanity is not mandatory on this site :D

Agree with all your comments and am as anal retentive in NO FOOD in the HAWK!!

But that has been for my last two cars.

They certainally are a lifestyle change vehicle! B)

You live in Wagga? or just visiting?

And yes I do agree, no crap in the new beastie, she's too good for all that.

for sure!

Iv'e lost heaps of weight too, as the repayments come out of my account, I have less and less money for drinking, eating, ect.... gave up smokeing Can't do that in the T !! and the pack a day habit now keeps the tank full.

Not to mention the Perma-grin I get when I drive it!

[Trumpy]

I have found that no matter how far I park from other cars, when I return there is some POS parked right next to me, miles away from anything else. Why do I attract these people? What is their reasoning for parking right beside me, as far from the shop as possible, when the rest of the car park is empty?

Like minded people in good cars I can understand (hey, we gotta stick together), but I get stressed out when I return to find a clapped out VB Late model camira right on the white line next to my car. No dings yet, but pulling my hair out....

[Turbo6man]

Trumpy> Yes mate that is a FOL - there are total morons out there just looking for the opportunity to ding your door. It's like the old saying "you can run but you can't hide". It seems that no matter where I park my car, all the space in the world around it, I come back to find an idiot in a clapped out something or other that has felt the need to park right along side.

[Zeke]

Yeah, me too. I'm much more polite and fitter. Tend to sprint metres in car parks to open the door for silly old chooks disembarking their massive frames from Toymotor Coronaries or similar, parked next to my car. Thanked profusely on more than one occasion. Real motive went straight thru' to the keeper! At least most door dings can now be fixed at reasonable cost without respraying. Had this done on a Maxima and couldn't locate where the dent had been after it was finished.

On another tack, remember getting some odd looks from anal-retentives when my then 12yo son and I were eating hamburgers, greasy chips and milkshakes in the absolutely pristine interior of a 35yo concours winning Jaguar at an annual Jag day. I think it was my way of saying that I didn't do all this work on the car to just look at it. It was, after all, only a car, to be enjoyed. Why stand out in the cold to have lunch? After all, quality leather wallnut veneer etc are eminently cleanable surfaces and we weren't being sloppy!

YCL, I do exactly the same thing, and my wife also thinks I'm going nuts. Although I don't usualy eat in car,, I'm the type of persone that needs a table and chair to enjoy my food.

[Guest 56Mainline]

Yeap...me too!

Park at the furtherest corner in any carpark.....prefer to find a parallel park spot if possible.

And I too have had several new cars over the past few years, & this is the first vehicle where I have laid down the law & said "No food, no drink!"

[KEN 24T]

This will make you laugh ... no, really ...

I'm so bent out of shape over this car that I don't even fart in my baby!

I'm absolutely serious! I have never farted in this car!! I have endured some serious stomach pressure at times just so I could get to where I was going and then fart.

I just can't bare the thought of voilating my baby in any way.
