...is out of comission right now. lugnuts on the left rear wheel decided to fly off all at once while i cruised around a corner. at least the wheel got stuck in the wheel well rather than fly across the road. anyway, i have to drive this big old boat of a car i have to drive for the moment being. it's my mom's old ass chevrolet caprice classic. rather nice of it to die on a hill this morning, letting me roll backwards without brakes and steering.

hevquip (and others) have u seen the new porsche carerra GT? (the convertable roadster... actually looks new, not like every other porsche)
nice...
i think porsche making an SUV is pretty stupid... they make sports cars (damn good ones) and shouls stick to that
they dont even make sedans, what r they doing w/ an suv!
im sure it will be a good vehicle though.. it IS a porsche afterall

959...ha! no way! those are 100,000+ dollar cars. that used to be porsche's supercar until they came out with the GT2. if you actually do happen to have a 959, you'd be a very lucky and rich person.

i would take a wrecked 911 turbo of some sort over a 959 just because the 959 is a much rarer and valuable car, so it's going to cost a hell of alot more to maintain/fix/repair.

eh? well it's a redesign of the car that raced in the 1960's (i think), hence it looks a tad old fashioned.
i think the americans made quite a few cool sportscars, the viper, the corvette, the er, ehm... okay they made 2 great sportscars. plus this one :)

the gt40's look nice. the new ones will be for street use. the originals were only for track use, but they had to make a few to put on the street to qualify it for production class.

i didn't know they were going to actually manufacture the new gt40?? i was aware of 2 protoypes, but that was all.
it would be great to see these things on the streets, though.

north american (well, just american i guess, there are no canadian car manufacturers!) cars always try to imitate european cars...
they do it so shamelessly too, on their commercials, their like:
"the styling of a european car..." "the comfort of a european car..." "the handling of a european car..." "the performs like a european car..." "the name of a european car..."
lol... i find it quite funny..
i mean: holy shit ford, stop sucking up to the europeans, and just admit they make better cars!! .

good question! i think its because north americans have big ego problems... and so we need big feul guzzling monsters of cars to keep our confidence up... ; )
hehe
people in small efficient PRACTICAL cars would just get made fun of by their friends who drive fucking HUMMERS!
even in big cities, small and efficient cars aren't that popular (at least not NEARLY as popular as they are in Europe/japan)
its quite stupid really...

My car is a 1968 and is still running fine. It's also from the american era when "Bigger is Better" and "Too much is just enough" were the way of thinking. I get about 10 miles to the gallon. I don't drive it much anymore because I can't justify killing the earth to 'look cool.'

Haha, if it was anybody else, I'd say that I feel sorry for him, but on the occasion of you destroying your car, I'll just say that you're a moron.
It probably had something to do with you destroying your car. What kind of childish idiocy have you commited with your plastic gizmo, heh?
