I got a new car, and its kick a$$

Well, a rental car anyway.

Today I dropped off my Suby at Golden State Collision and got a brand new Chevy Aveo. It only has 250 miles on the odo. I wanted the smallest car they had so I got this little POS, it doesn't even have a cd player or power door locks.

So, any track days happening soon!

floor it everywhere you go. when you have to stop, wait till the absolute last second, and then slam on the brakes. oh, yeah, and make sure you drive around with the parking brake on ALL THE TIME.

And make sure you take it off road.

Don't run in to anything with that or you'll be smashed.

This car rides very high, I feel like I'm in a little truck or something. The seats are about a foot from the floor. There is also a "HOLD" button next to the shifter, what is it?
