Some fool passed me on a no passing road. And then they proceeded to drive on the opposite side like we were in England or something :lol: .

I passed some fool in the suicide lane today in Wilmette. To my defense, he was going slow as shit and I wanted to follow the E30 M3 that passed him too :mrgreen:

I like to chase other Si Civics now and then on the highway :lol: . It's funny when I see the same type as mine. There's a woman around here that has a NICE red one with a spoiler and fogs *drool* . She isn't very attractive, but she lives about 10 minutes from me, so I go drive by the car when I'm bored. So yeah, I thinks I has a problem :lol:

No. More often than not they use Lidar which is undetectable by radar detectors. You could always get a lidar jammer, but you're probably going to get a bigger ticket for attempting to dupe the officer than doing 82 in a 55 (COUGH jail time COUGH).

WOOT! Finally got my dad to cough up whether he'd be willing to buy the Z or not, and he said he's willing to, we just need to talk about finances and logistics and whatnot, which means how much am I gonna pay for it and where's it gonna stay for the next couple months, both of which I have already thought out :D Likely going to test drive it this Saturday if my dad's better, as he has H1N1 right now :(

Unfortunately it's not the 450rwhp one, but that one is 3k more than this one. This is a bone stock Silver '90 TT, 131k miles, that's just had the 120k service done as well as new injectors, which means the big maintenance items are good for a while. Only thing I'm worried about is how much life the turbos have left in them, but that just means I'll have to keep the boost at stock levels, lol. By the time they go out, I'll make sure to have saved enough to buy some big ones :twisted:

So hold your breath guys, I could finally get my 300ZX this weekend. :shock:

Not to mention you'll quit hearing about how badly I want one in every thread. lol

Other than the misaligned skirt on the driver's door, that car is SEX. Best looking Saab I've ever seen, sorry Watkins. That's got an old M3 kind of badass look to it, ya know?
