Bought my 08 Civic Si new off the lot, test drive was a specific loop around the area of the dealership. I was 18 and with my dad. Salesman rode in the back. It was the only car I test drove but there wasn't really anything else I was interested in. Then buying my 87 MR2 from a relatively sketchy dealership, that…

Or too much money to care.

Yeah I believe if I was buying a "legit" supercar (Gallardo, F458, 12C and similar) I would opt for a spyder. Even if its a tiny sacrifice in track performance, with that kind of money I'd have a separate dedicated track car and wouldn't need to care.

I don't know how to vote. I paid less for mine, with just slightly more mileage, but probably in better overall shape. Almost have to judge these based more on mechanical condition and what maintenance will need done first. I guess since its getting harder to find them around this price point I'll go NP.

I think 911s become one of the ugliest things as a convertible though.

SCCA and I would assume NASA will not allow a passenger to hold a camera because its a loose item in the car and loose items in the car can become projectiles in case of an accident.

My experience is that "amateur drifting" events don't really go into that much safety specifics. Enough to make sure nobody dies, but let any other injuries, such as those due to loose items in car, be covered under general "motorsports is dangerous" reason.

Because a small tablet form factor will be much more usable than a smaller one, and seeing as there's collaboration with Nokia there's bound to be specific specs that Delta requested.

The only valid response (to her, not gometz) has to be about being able to hold her hand or something.

So today I learned that at 160lbs and 6ft I am a huge fatass.

Is it just me or did anyone else get lost at the mention of using a Malibu platform?

Certainly way to early to call any of that. It really would be a miracle for him to recover near completely. At this point its a huge milestone that he has any awareness.

Indeed. Those last few articles sure were bleak.

At $4/gallon, that's $150,000 in fuel. Can you design something that gets better economy for $150,000, build 11 of them, AND recoup the costs before they need replaced? Doubtful.

Is this first hand experience? I've been pretty impressed with the chassis stiffness of my AW11.

God forbid anyone just turn the key back on. Instead its "oh god my car just shut off. this is how I die. Better take my hands off the wheel and let it hit whatever."

Yeah there's that whole "wonder what its like if we hit this crane" thing.

Edit: Oh, so they're in the back seat. Hm. I dunno then.

Where's Schroedinger's cat when you need him.

Ew.

And the sponsor isn't even the one paying for the sponsoring. Its win-win for both parties.
