Yeah G35 is a sweet car, go for it!!! VQ35 is definitely the best V-6 on the market right now.

But it in a matter of realistic terms you better think about being one of the first to get a Toyota Prius. One day you'll thank me for it.

Ok, pretty sure you're just gonna get laughed at... This is definately not the right target audience for that conspiracy theory.

Yeah. Oil prices aren't going to go downward. That means the costs of almost everything, is gonna go upward.

I thought you were reading my oil thread Eric. I hope it doesn't happen, but don't take what I say as something for granted and something you can just laugh off.

Russia and Putin just basically dissolved Yukos oil company, so they can now play their hand of cards in the dirty oil game.

Also once King Fahd actually dies...and he's been living on life support for about the last 8-10 years since his last stroke, it's going to get a lot more interesting again.

I hate to bursts people's bubbles and stuff but that's just the reality of it all.

Ok, I will reserve my comments, concerns, gripes, bitches and complaints for my oil thread and DOO section.

Blah the GT2 is the twin turbo 456 hp rear wheel drive street car. The GT3 is the 360 hp naturally aspirated rear wheel drive street legal car tuned for the track.

Why would you take a great vodka like Grey Goose and ruin it with Red Bull?

That's like asking for a Glenlivit and Coke....

Because there is a big difference in taste between grey goose with red bull instead of no name brand vodka.

Porsche's have a really awkward driving position that takes some time to get used to. Some people love how closely cluttered and slammed to the right the pedals are, some don't.

Plus, just think $130 oil changes.

You should go for broke and get a Ruf Yellowbird.

I think even the new ones are pretty pricey. I'd have to find out for sure though.

Anyways you can get a Big-Bird. They are pretty hard. But one was for sale on Barrett Jackson a while back:
http://www.barrett-jackson.com/aucti....asp?id=175174

200mph+, 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds.

Just think, you could mess with anyone as much as you wanted, and no one would be able to touch you.

But it wouldn't make for a good vehicle to stop by at Starbucks for your morning latte.
