Bruser hits the mean streets of Oakland

Well it's happened. Bruser (Balck and Blue Smartie) has found a home on the mean streets of Oakland. He was unwanted by his original parent so I decided to give him a home in the hood. Picked him up last night from San Francisco and we crusied over the bridge and through the Maze, up and down some of the steepest hills in the east Bay without a problem. He may have been the cause of at least one accident in route as someone in the next lane was checking him out rather than the car in front, you guessed it ******Thud******Crunch, in the next lane. taking him back to the Smart Center today to have all his "Bling" installed (gauges,mats, covers, alarm, etc), Now he want's 22's, and I'm trying to figure out a way to break it to him that it will never be, without breaking his spirit.

Hummm sounds like he spent some time in the Grand Lake district...perhaps even up and over Fairbanks from Mcaurthur Blvd to Grand Ave... stop in at Quickway? Zoom around the Lake maybe?

Hee hee I used to live up behind the Grand Lake theater...I bet Lil Brusier loves the hills..I know I would get a kick out of dinking around my old haunts in the micro bugger...

Congrats....PS don't let Bruiser know about the air lift that will le a set of 24s sit under his wells!

Bag him and slam him and he'll be happy.

Thanks to all , I will keep the Air lift option from him, He and I are having a blast zipping(yes he really can Zip) through the twist and turns in the all of the hills around here, Not a single issue with the power so far. That was my biggest concern with the steep hills.
Bruser was a bit bummed on no Bling yet, Dealer has ALL Accessories on back order (with the exception of key chains....Big Woo!, So I'm going over to Pep Boys this weeekend to see what I can find. Perhaps a large MB Emblem on a gold chain for the Rear View (G). I't good to have the FUN back in driving again.
