RE: Moving from PA back to SoCal! W00t!
I can't stand it here in California personally and can't wait to move. The cost of living kills anything that might be a positive of living here.

[quote]ORIGINAL: Lunchboxer I think you can get an E36 M3 for low-10s or even below $10k.. and E46 in the $20s.. [quote]ORIGINAL: AutoXMan I would love an M3 of any year. [/quote] [/quote] You can even get an E36 for $5k if you look in the right places. Albeit mileage is rather high; but your prices are definitely accurate. My uncle has an E36-M3. Fun car, and I really like it. However the E36 (and earlier generation BMWs) have terrible electronics. On the note of BMWs; the X6 is terrible it reminds me of an expensive version of the Pontiac Aztec and I am confused as to what would obligate somebody to buy that thing.

[quote]ORIGINAL: Lunchboxer That's not bad.. I'd guess the CF parts would be a lot more expensive.. $3500 ain't bad at all.. (for most of the panels.. !) Yeah, some of the Porsche parts are silly $$$.. for example, if I were to get the RS CF wing for my car, it would be more than $3,500 just for the wing blade.. (I think it is $4000+ new from Porsche) [/quote] Pfff. If you think Porsche is bad look at what Novitec charges to do up an F430. It's like $60,000 for a supercharger.

[quote]ORIGINAL: Lunchboxer Yes, Cayman S drives really well.. can certainly handle more power.. easier to drive fast than a 911.. !! I think the RS4/6 are too heavy.. RS4 is like 3800-3900+ lbs, right?! Crazy... [/quote] Yea man it's a bit bloated, weighs around 3700 lbs (still lighter then the GT-R and M3). I'm just saying though, the RS4/6 is perfect in my eyes of a sports car you can drop your kids off at school in, get groceries, run errands, and take through the back roads. I just feel like buying a car in the VW group offers so much technology with the amount of thinking they have circulating in all their companies. Obviously it's not an unadulterated full on sports car, but still a hell of a lot of versatility for the price.

RE: FEW RUNS IN MY SPOON SPORTS ITR...
[quote]ORIGINAL: Lunchboxer Well, GT-R packs a lot of stuff for its price.. cheap? No.. but to equal its performance, you'd need stuff that's even more $$$, so... I guess it is a ''good value''.. ha ha! The new Cayman can be ordered w/ LSD now.. (09+) So that's a step in the right direction! Turbo would be interesting.. my wife wants one.. ha ha! But for me, they are all too fast anyway.. so I stick w/ NA motor.. ha ha!! [/quote] Yea I read about the 09 LSD option. Porsche is trying to keep the Cayman as diluted as they can though. The mid-engine provides great handling and I've heard it performs on par with the base 911; which I guess is why Porsche themselves have not released a turbo version. I suppose they don't want a lesser car outshining it's legacy. I'd take either one though! [:D] But personally; in my opinion the perfect car is the Audi RS4/RS6; family car in the day, and at night the full moon comes out. [8D]

RE: FEW RUNS IN MY SPOON SPORTS ITR...
[quote]ORIGINAL: Lunchboxer I think R8 weights too much... I hope they would do a lightweight sport version, w/ RWD only! [/quote] You and I both know how much Audi loves their Quattro though. I still think the car looks amazing and I'm sure it drives at least half as good. The GT-R is very expensive, it costs far more then I ever anticipated it would when they announced it. I like the Cayman it's pretty nifty, especially with the LSD; and with a turbo package it would be pretty intense for it's caliber. However, as a diehard Porsche fan it's hard to consider something outside the 911. I'd love to own a 97 993 Twin Turbo. That car is a performance machine even compared to many newer cars, but they fetch a pretty penny.

I'm curious as to what Honda has up their sleeves to replace it though considering they dropped the NSX a while ago, and they finally dropped the S2K after talking about dropping it for years.

[quote]ORIGINAL: Lunchboxer The TE-37 looks nice... I think they are forged too.. so they are very light.. ! [/quote] Yep. That's the first one. They are very nice. I've always liked the S2000 and the price you can get one for now can't be beat (I've seen them in the 8k range) Not to mention the unlimited aftermarket potential.

RE: FEW RUNS IN MY SPOON SPORTS ITR...
I always liked the NSX. It looks amazing. I'm also a fan of the Lotus Esprit though. The Elise is a cool little go-kart, very race inspired interior; of course no luxury amenities inside though. I'm not sold on the GT-R. I would take the R8 personally.

However, there is a new wheel manufacturer born everyday, and a plethora of great looking wheels are on the market now, so it's hard to look at one brand considering all the wheels on the market. They even have a magazine dedicated solely to wheels.

RE: B44 Solid drive shaft, or 501x belt ?...
i went with the D4 after a lot of research i like the shaft drive, the super smooth shocks and the top of the line chassis What swung me away from the B44 was the edgy handling that it has a reputation for if you are on a budget then the ZX5 SP or B max-4 or a hopped up Durga are the obvious choices - personally i'd go for the B max-4 but there's precious little between those cars except that you'd have to get at least a slipper for the Durga Reason i didn't go with 501x was price and also the higher maintenance belt drive - to be sure belt drive has its advantages but unless you are racing at pro level then i don't think you will notice for me the D4 ticked all the boxes, is at a reasonable price and has the neutral handling that a non-expert driver can exploit

RE: at what age did you get a cell phone?
I have no problems with cell phones as far as communication is concerned. My issue is they are more of a trend, like Abercrombie, and Starbucks, then used for their intended purposes. Text messages are excuses for people to talk to eachother about a conversation so meaningless it's not worth hearing eachothers voices; at least that's what I get out of them.

RE: Smart 4 two
[quote]ORIGINAL: dsales most new cars with V8 become V6 when your driving slowly, plus the bigger the engine is, the less hard you need to push the throttle as it can cope easier at much lower RPM giving you a higher milage, this is why a BMW M3 is more efficient than a prius and why the Smart is not as economical as it should be. Now then, if your a really tight basterd, you can get one of these babys: [link]http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_7240000/newsid_7242000/7242070.stm?bw=bb&mp=wm&news=1&nol_storyid=7242070&bbcws=1[/link] [/quote] As for the discussion. Fuel economy is fuel economy. I want good gas mileage, but I also want a fun car. I would personally rather have a 1996 Porsche 911 then a energy saving automobile, but that's just me; if the 911 got good gas mileage, that would be a plus. I actually really want to get a motorcycle though for a fun and efficient ride.
