Mike, I like the DB7, however, I am leaning more toward a GTS viper. I've looked at a few late 90's models with less than 30,000miles in the mid $40k range. I think those are sweet deals. I'll just have to wait and see. By the way, just because I'm selling the FD doesn't mean that I'll stop eating Pizza

Do the v10s just not last long?? Or you just speaking from age and having to replace wear and tear items that all high milage/aged engines have?? I've always been under the impression that the viper engine can usually take a ton of power and a good bit of abuse.

Not 100% sure on this but a few months when I was in the market I came upon many that were listed with a new motor. That just put up a flag for me.

Shitty day today!! I went to this tire place in Bessemer:
Speedway Tires, Inc.
1301 9th Ave N
Bessemer, AL 35020
Phone: (205) 424-8587
And they fucked up one of my center cap for my new wheel. Then the ******* owner refused to pay for it and makes me pay in CASH!! *******! I just paid and left..

I'm telling you, I should of gone to Saab tires.. Should have known from yesterdays incident when they said they didn't want to dismount my other tires.. Damn.. I'm so pissed off right now!!

That sucks Phil. You've had really some bad luck with wheels and tires lately.

At least we know where not to get tires mounted.

Naw, I said I was "US American"... Then he looked for a map and realized he didn't have one.. Then I pulled out a map and he couldn't find where US of A was... He was a middle eastern decent (Iranian) and I figure he wouldn't be that 20% of Americans who can't find US of A on the map, but he actually lived here long enough to became that one of 5 "US Americans"... So, I called him, "Is Miss SC, your distant relative?", Then he said, "Yes!.. Now you pay me in Cash!... You US American!"..

So, thats how it went down with the Fucktards at the wheel/tire shop.

Fred, Sounds good! I'm heading to ATL for Nopi on the 14th, but on the 13th, me and couple of rotorheads are going to Spec clutch to check out some import/rice.

I guess I'll see you in ATL also.

Brad, I know.. Its so sad! How can you not know where USA is on the globe..
But I could see that.. Back in 2000, I met a girl who won hawaiian tropic contest in KY and was a 5th grade teacher in Cincy. We went out couple of times and on valentines day dinner I was shocked by what she said..

It was a week before my trip to London and I was telling her about my trip (Been there 3-4 times as I was dating a girl from Cambridge).. After telling her that I'm going to London, she pauses and then asks, "So, do you speak French?". I was like, "No, why?". She then goes, "How are you going to get around London if you don't speak the language?".
Initially, I thought she was just joking around since we were joking about a lot of things all night.. But then, she said, "Seriously! How are you going to get around?". I was like,"Aahhh.. London is in England and People in England, speak English....". She turns bright red and was like, "Oh! I didn't know that".. How scary is that.. She teaches 5th graders and she doesn't even know London is in England.. And couple of years before this, Princess Diana died in London and was all over the news!!! I'm telling ya, its quite sad..
