Default Re: My next car

the thing about cars like this is they are wicked impractical unless it lives on a track...while i'm not denying that this car is absolutely gorgeous, or an incredible testimate to human technology, what about cars like a modded WRX or an STi? the performance/dollar ratio is very high, they are very practical (AWD wagon that's a lambo killer on the track.......epic)
they are just outright sick cars =P

Last summer my dad and i went to test drive an 03 wrx wagon that had about another 10 grand into it, and his only reaction was a huge smile, and "I won't need sex for a month...damn"
He grew up driving sleepers and muscle cars, like his blown 454......(get ready) VW beetle

well now that i've completely jacked the thread, that is one sick car

Default Re: My next car

I remember the first time they let me drive a 79 Countach at work , I was 17 years old and jumped in and could only drive it about 300 yards much to every other techs amusement ,the clutch was like stepping on a brick and my leg could not hold it down for more than 5 seconds at a time.

Most of the exotics out there are horrible to drive on every day roads and as stated by JazzyJake you need a huge wallet to buy them AND maintain them. If you saw some of the repair bills you'd cry..

Have fun with what you got , get some NOS ........ but take it easy

You don't look as cool with a STi than in a Lambo.

yes, but 120k, minimum cool?
plus STi's are beasts even in bad weather, (i live on a mountain in new england)

There a (VERY) rich kid a few towns over from me, his dad owned Yankee Candle, but sold it for a few billion about 4 years ago. For his 16th birthday he got a Banana yellow Diablo, when he got his lisense he got a smoke gray carrera GT, when snow flew he got a world-rally blue STi, and i see him in that more than anything.
I was talking to him the other day and he said as amazing as the other cars are (since then he also got a lotus elise, and his dad got a mercialago,) the STi is just as much fun.
