Nice car, nice story, and nice numbers!!!
I dont consider my school to be rich but there are two rediculous kids, one who drives a 2005 S4 and one who drives a 2005 645ci, I really want to set them in their place cause they think their cars are the ****. Too bad they weigh like 4,000lbs lol

Nothing better than putting a brand-friggin-new "sports luxury sedan" driver in their place with a Japanese import that exceeds the age of one decade. Good kills.

LOL, that's what I do for a living. I'm actually a photojournalist for a newspaper. Like all newspaper photojournalists, a degree in journalism is required and in fact, it's what's written on the diploma. So along with all the photo related courses, I have to endure the pain of all the writing courses as well!

There are two things you should never ask; what someone did to get into prison and the other being how much you spent on your rx7 In truth, I haven't added it up. I have done much of the work myself, looked for deals, etc...I purchased the car with 9,600 miles on the odometer and it was a 95, so I paid just under bluebook at the time. I think today, if you were able to get your hands on a decent example for $15K, you could probably duplicate what I've done for another $10K easily. I'm about to pull the Cosmo 2-rotor and throw in a 3-rotor. I plan of fully documenting the cost/time in doing the swap. Should be interesting!

LOL, it will be for sale but I'll probably completely rebuild it and experiment with some of the Cermet coatings that are now available. www.jhbperformance.com

i am so impressed with the 03 up AMG lineup. These cars are crazy a little tuning and you are well into the 600hp 700tq range. My Dad has the s600 sport and for a big sedan that thing can move. From a roll you have a chance of beating these cars..s55, sl55, cl55, and e55 but from a dig you will be in trouble. The traction control in these cars is worth every penny.

I can't even remember what turbo I had back then to be honest...it might have been the modified GReddy T78. It had a Garrett GT series 94mm compressor (GT48?) in there. Hell of a top end turbo.
