How about a nice English classic with an easily maintained American drivetrain?

Nobody hacks my ride...

I work at “The Factory” in Franklin and live in Murfreesboro, So i’m within a mile of HQ on a regular basis. depending on the time i leave for work, i may pass 1 or 2 GTRs on 840. Passed a couple Skylines as well.

One of the nice things about living near Nissan HQ and one of their plants, there’s a handful of these running around town that I get to see every once in awhile.

Let me illustrate using different versions of the same car...

It’s to hide the lack of functioning suspension.

so, 30k in upgrades gets you a whopping .7 sec 0-60.... think i’ll pass (it at a high rate of speed).

Thoughts (pardon the crudity of the illustration)?

Oh, Oh... Can I throw out some concept while we’re at it????

If you make a 4 cylinder too good, then nobody will buy the 6 or 8 cylinder models.... Look at the Mustang, they just killed the 6 in favor of a 4.

I once convinced a guy that my dart’s slant 6 was an “Inline V6" since it slanted.

They really only make sense when the whole subdivision is still under development and the developer is trying to sell homes. That way they control the value of the properties they are selling by keeping mobile homes out of the neighborhood they’re building $500k homes in. Once the neighborhood is complete and all…

Not for residential playsets. I do commercial grade play equipment. In my case I’d sell community playgrounds directly to the HOA rather than individual.

The joys of living in the county...

They would need to be on some sort of swing arm with a skid plate so that it doesn’t drag on the road when going up an incline or other terrain changes. Maybe something akin to a seatbelt tensioner that can react and lock into place when there’s a sudden impact.

HOAs are GREAT!!!! But then, I sell playgrounds and they’re great customers......

That was my assumption as well.

If this were a gas car, I’d check it’s tank for ethanol content.

So... how soon can I rent one and what’s the closest major airport to Moab?

probably your biggest reason the R8 was kept fairly conservative.
