Well - if I had the money I would buy a Tesla Roadster but a $98000 base price is a bit
steep for me.
Buying a new car soon? - tell me what you're looking at.

Someone finally makes a "green" car that is beautiful, fast, efficient and then prices it out of almost everyones' reach. SNOBS!!! Tom
I lost a lap, can I have one of yours?

I wisdh I could find an old K-Car or Neon around here for a work beater instead of my Cherokee......if you can find one it's not cheap. I do like my
parents '06 Town and Country Touring, talk about a comfy highway cruiser!

I've been looking into getting a 2nd car lately, I've mostly looked at 70s Monza/Vega/Starfire to put a 400 small block chevy in. But I've had some
recent arm twisting and might settle for a 455 80s Cutlass.
Edit: I ended up putting money down on the Cutlass yesterday, it's from Kentucky and 99.9% rust free. Somebody rebuilt the whole front suspension, brake system, and put new aluminum duals on it. The motor ran a 13.9 1/4 mile pushing a much heavier fullsize Chevy truck before it was put in the Cutlass. It's going to be hard to go back to the 4 banger 98 S-10 when winter comes, but the Cutlass is to clean to run through the Michigan salt.

I just bought a Honda Civic SI. Fast, fun and easy to live with as an everyday car. If I behave myself (which is hard to do with a 197 horse power -8000 rpm
redline mill) I get 32 mpg on my mostly freeway daily commute. Honda reliability is legendary.

I traded my Corvette for this. I think I did well. 1.8 turbo, 5 speed. Very fun to drive.

Nice rides everyone! Bruce that Cobra wins hands down as the one I'd get after winning the lottery.
Since starting this thread my 4-Runner came back from the body shop only to go back again to finish the job. They tried to get away without replacing some rear bumper plastic and a very visible bow in the rear storage deck. Went car shopping at a few dealers, but they aren't giving full blue book on SUV trade-ins. Not surprised, I was expecting that. Of course Additional Dealer Markup is alive and well, and I too refuse to pay. The Toyota dealers don't play that game, which is why most of my cars have been Toys. I read about this concept Toy A-BAT Hybrid and think I'll ride the bus, save my money, and wait to see if it goes into production.

Just bought the wife a '08 Ford Focus, 4drs, 5 speed, ice blue metallic. Very nice car. She drives 80 miles to work and back. The tag said the car would
get 35 highway miles/gal. She's getting 39.

Good morning all, last April i bought an 07 Honda 750C2 Shadow,Electric Blue. It helps to give my 20 year old S10 a break! Great Street Rod styling and 52mpg!
Maybe ksracer or taz will shoot a picture for me to post as i don't have a digital camera.
Have a great weekend. Jim |

I've been driving my new 81 Cutlass, it needs paint, but it's clean and the big block 455 really moves.
