I'm not really into cars, although I watch Top Gear coz...well, do I really have to say why? :lol:

Did anyone see the Robin Reliant Rocket? Or the Carboats? Or the Cow? LOL brilliant show! :mrgreen:

Anyways, I've been driving for just a bit longer than Stumpy. We had the same driving instructor, and I will have been driving for three years now on the 23rd March. Time flies when you're having fun...or driving, in my case. :lol:

Hmm BMW's.. too much road noise for my taste. cramped interiors, but excellent leg room. suspension is a bit hard for my climate/area.

Mazda, would not touch one. pure junk with NO resale value. unless your a kid who is spending your parents money and dont care.

Hmm lets see. Missedmybussy err I mean mitsubitsui is well Loud. Obnoxious to my ears and poor on mileage. plus repairs are hmm well lets say it cheaper to repair the Enterprize A then one of those hmm things.
LOL

Audi I like. kinda. but paying 1600 extra dollars for a fancy volkswagon, is not my idea of money well spent. but overall it handles nice.


Then Again I have had 5 major auto loves that I have owned. 1936 MGB Midget 2 seater with tan leather cover over passenger seat when alone.

1972 Special Edition Mach I 3 speed V6 kicked 70 mph in first gear at 3000 rpms. and could bark em at 135 mph..

1989 Firebird V6 automatic. Sooooo quiet. and POWERFUL! I could match the then new Limited Edition Camero *Only 500 made* (which I also owned thanks to my ex father in law who gave it to me cause he wanted a new vette. which topped at 145 but with power to spare.

and last. The Volkswagon jetta GTI to test drive it you have to be able to prove you were over 21 and place a deposit down. (not kidding) 5 speed and Barked em in all 5 gears at a dead standstill for 1/4 mile. ( We had it at our VW dealership side ) Now that was a blast to drive.


Gotta love working at a dealership! lol

but my BABY.. well it is two wheels 1956 Pashead suicide with 12 degree over rake and Apes, in pearl white and dark emerald green. Kick it 1 time and KNOW what real POWER is! lol

(Damn My ex wife anyways) lol

Well, I bit the bullet yesterday and ordered a new BMW 328i Coupe. I was able to negotiate for a higher starting salary than I initially received, so I figured I may as well spend the extra balance on a car payment ;). I went for the "Space Gray" color (appropriate, I know). It's darker than silver but lighter than graphite, so it really shows off the little styling nuances. I drove the 335i as well, which was very impressive with the twin turbo engine, but judging by the fact that I was cruising at 120mph (over 190kph) without even realizing it, I think I'd have landed myself in jail if I'd gotten that one ;). The 328i is still a very good performer, and it handles like a dream. Truly the Ultimate Driving Machine(TM) :mrgreen:.

Unfortunately, I will have to wait 4-6 weeks for it to arrive. They have to build it and ship it over from Germany.

I already take Adderall, and it's pretty much the same thing.

Technically I graduate at the end of April, but I've already accepted a job (starting on May 7), and it will take about two months for the car to actually arrive, so the timing works out very well :mrgreen:. It will apparently be more like 6-8 weeks. D'oh.

That is a very nice car. It may not be your idea of the sexy uber car but it will not let you down.
BTW
Do you have any time to do some voice acting?

how about getting a nice and reliable bird of prey? it has a decent speed and gas consumption per mile rate, and you also get a nice set of what has become the peek of privacy tecnology: a cloaking device, as well as a pair of disruptors which fire some nice and shiny green thingies that remind people of nature, and a torpedo launcher in the front, for those annoying school buses and whatnot!
All of this for the incredible price of U$S 299,999,999,999,999.99 (taxes not included, the ship might not actually be as well received by your neighbours as the commercial stated)


Ok, I admit it, I'm so bored right now...

Hello Eon. That is a great idea. We should all go green. Save the planet!

BTW, it is good to see you are back. Even a model or two would be great. We need to get the ships uploaded for the next phases of game development to proceed.

Yes, it would just be grand if you can Jade. We understand about real world obligation too. If not just check back when you do. :wink: If you have some ships we can upload them to ShariPoint. Some ships are now being incorporaed into the games.
