That's your opinion. I'm a NASCAR fan. You do realize that does have its challenge?

I'm torn b/n the Bugeye and the 'Vette. I, personally, would probably automatically go for the 'Vette, but that's just me.

Damn Saabs. :lol:



Insane, weren't you just driving a Ford Contour? How will you manage the rather enormous jump in vehicle/expenses? I don't want to say too much as I don't know your situation, but the Miata is the only one that might be affordable. Insurance, gas prices maintenance costs will get you on the bigger cars. Not to mention the sticker price. Just curious.

.insane, lucky you! time for an upgrade to a mean car from what you showed! :) not the miata tho (unless u like having no practicality and no power) all the other cars are awesome

Watkins, ouch! my cars not that bad and i'm gunna throw a new engine in it soon.

ugh on another note now the belts on the 2 squeal like f**k after its been wet.... when i'm accelerating its quiet but when i push the clutch in it squeals ... squealing belts bov ftw?

I got the contour from my mom for about $300 because I was too lazy to find a new car after i sold the tercel, Insurance wise im covered pretty well and i wont be the primary driver of teh new car my dad will. Sticker, I can cover i have quite a bit saved up lets just say i could cover the vette on cash and have a nice bit of chump change left over...I really wanted the m3 but maintance on that would kill me not to mention i would have to take a student loan, but the vette is 0% for 60 and that way i can cover it. If


another option is hte mazda 3 or 6

Props man, I'm just surprised it took an accident for you to get a new (manual) car!
