Update! New engine put in at 107900. Just picked it up on the 7th of December.
Here's my favorite gal, Roxanne. Sure, she's just a stock Vision TSi, but she's got potential. Try to look past the shallow cosmetic things like the scar down her right side. This baby's got dual throttle bodies and 3 1/2 liters of attitude. Ten years ago she came stock with a 214hp engine, some blingin' rims, leather seats, power everything, premium sound and CD player, alarm, and remote keyless entry.
Roxanne has enough power to scare the hell out of anyone that doesn't drive in NASCAR. She's loaded enough that everyone I know thinks she's a 96-00 till I tell them about her. The people at Walmart always screw up her mileage in the computer, putting 10468 instead of 104685. Roxanne's actually a 93 and retails for under $4000. Quite a nice alternative to being spoiled rotten and driving a mustang or f-body that my parents bought me.
All things aside, you gotta love that sexy ghetto booty of hers! ;o) Give it a close up!Here's the view from Roxanne's driver's seat. The speedometer only goes to 120, but once you take the 117 speed limiter off you can get her up to 142 as measured with a G-tech unit. (But definitely don't tell dad about it!!) She's sweet as hell to drive at any speed and stays smooth all the way up, as long as you have the road room and Z-rated tires.
The front seat is about as wide as you can imagine, with all kinds of elbow room on both sides and a big console stuck in the middle. Roxanne's perfect to picnic in, believe it or not. :o) All kinds of ledges and holders and such for food, drink and people. The stock sound system is pretty decent, though you know it's getting added to the first chance I get.
Ah yes, and a big backseat too. I actually prefer to sit in the front seats, but the back seat can be put to good use too. Lots and lots of room for acrobatics, and the soft leather feels great on bare skin. Ladies, yall oughta try it some time. ;o)
Below you can see Roxanne's old engine. Right now she's getting a new engine put in. It's the same 3.5, but it has only 60k on it compared to the 108k on the one pictured below. Newer engine = more boost and more nitrous!! :o) I don't want to put a super and some nitrous on her only to have to strip them right back off after the old engine blows. Now it's time to build her up and embarass that Talon, Eclipse, Cougar trio out on the strip. :o) They think they're cool because they can beat a KIA Sportage. ha ha ha
Yes, the hood supports are worn out, but Roxanne will get new plugs and wires long before her hood supports will matter to me.
Here are the rest of the pics I have of her so far. Expect a lot more after I get her back from the engine swap. She's gonna get cleaned up and blinged out for the camera.
Here's some pics of me, just for fun.
This is the eagle in my rear window. I like it because it gets people to ask dumb questions. :o)
