Most Pcar enthusiasts (myself included) think it's a f%$king monstrosity.  It looks like a 911 and a Maserati were fuching.  German+Italian just doesn't work.  Besides the whole 4-door sports car has been beaten to death by everyone (AMG's , M series, Quattro's, Aston Martin released one..........)  If you want a 4-door sports car, get a used 63 AMG and slap the 4k renntech bolt on kit on it, 4 doors and 500rwhp If you want a car that barely fits 2 people, accelerates slowly compared to other modern sports cars, but can take that turn at 140, get a 911.  Iffen you just want a big shaZam! eating grin, get a highly modified 951, that'll make you twitch.

i've honestly been drooling over the thought of  having a GT2 to cruise around in...   


i also don't understand why the GT3 has less power than the GT2 and is cheaper. in my mind, shouldn't the "newer" version of a car be better, faster, etc than the older one? 

The GT3 isn't a 'newer' version, per se, just different. (I believe both were offered in '09 and '10 versions so far)  There's a black GT2 on the island that sounds like the world is ending when he gets on the gas

i'm halfway tempted to visit some dealerships this summer and see if i can convince them to let me take some test drives. i'm told everyone should drive a porsche once. 

I once had a 99 Ranger with step sides.  I loved the thing... right up until it started eating a set of pinion bearings every 10,000 miles.

Good luck with yours!  I hope it proves more durable than mine did!

I've got about a hundred and thirty K on my '01 Edge without a single problem. I love your truck, it's the exact one I wanted. If you haven't already, check out rangerpowersports.com. If you're ever looking to mod the ranger that's the place to go, great bunch of guys for the most part. Have you thought about lifting or lowering it?

Go for it.  Dress up, get any signs of the youngins out of the car and seem 'disinterested'.  Make them sell you on taking it for a test drive.  The Caymen is a fun little b!tch along with the Boxster.  While you're making the rounds, hit the Benz dealer and get a test ride in ANYTHING with an AMG and the numbers 63.  You WILL shaZam! your pants.  Nothing quite like 450rwhp out of the box and next to no traction control system    The Jag XFA is f%$king hideous, but an absolute blast to drive. 

when you say "dress up" i'm assuming you're talking shirt, tie, slacks......... 

got da rova. Driving it back was a freakin blast!  Pics tomorrow.

My '95 Ranger was the best vehicle I ever owned. 10 years/120K miles. Never garaged. Air still blew ice cold, no rust and the chrome wheels/caps looked like the day I bought it. Never had an alignment, tuneup or any exhaust work. Front brakes only at 73K and a water pump at 85K. Yeah...American made vehicles are junk.

Mine's nearly 3 tons of pissed off Brit steel.  Let's get in a head on collission and see who wins.

congrats terry. although i must say i hope you don't expect good fuel consuption.   

Mpg is horrible, I think I got about 16-17 on the way home.

on the plus side, i doubt you'll have to worry about wrecking it in most low speed/moderate type crashes. 

The only problem is that it needs a starter   Hopefully my mechanic can source one pretty quick.  I pulled the thing off after changing the solenoid and when I cracked the case open little pieces of magnet fell out       Fortunately, it's pretty easy to push start and if I can find the damn handle, I can crank start it

Came across a new toy today (It's the littlun)

Now why would you need a gun......

Gun Control, Gun Control, Gun Control!!!! To get a gun here you have to go through hell and then paying for ammunition over a  222 size is pretty expensive. Handguns are just not needed by the public. I have a  license to shoot a centrefire or rimfire bolt action rifle with no more than 9 shots. And the only way i go that is by working on a farm and saying i am culling kangaroos.

And if you do a dangerous act or get an AVO out on you, say goodbye to your license and firearms.. taken in the blink of an eye
