favaks 0 #76 May 14, 2003 Since I got my Boxster S, I've been skydiving less, and driving it more (no more money for jump tix ) The feeling I get when I drive it is similar to skydiving. Sometime, it's even better! OMG! I can't believe I just said that. -favaks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ltdiver 3 #78 May 16, 2003 Thanks for all your input here this week, friends! I finally went and did it. Signed the papers last night and they delivered her today. Washed and shiney and wow is she beautiful! Had to keep reminding myself to keep below 90 mph on the way home (breaking her in and all, ya know ). For those of you who'll be at the dz.com boogie, you'll get the first glance. And the secret will be out. "Which one made it across the line" . It's been an interesting journey...testing new machines and seeing salesman after saleman's crestfallen face as I walked away. Anyway, looks like this one will do it's best to fill the big shoes my 'baby' left behind. Varooooooooommmmm! ltdiver btw, this car's gotta be special....she had quite a unique welcome home tonight. Story around the bonfire weekend after next! Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fungi3001 0 #83 May 17, 2003 QuoteI think the new Cooper Minis are cool get cooper S they have the super charger and kick all other minis arses. we have one and goin down the motorway (freeway to all the americans) at about 110 mph feels like goin about 70mph in any oter car. and goin round a corner is like being glued to the road. there is no body roll at all.

ltdiver 3 #84 May 27, 2003 Ok...for those of you who weren’t able to make it to the most awesome boogie at Perris this year.... The automobile chosen to replace my beautiful ‘baby’...Mustang GT... is something that is indeed more powerful (lighter body weight), quicker from the stoplight/stopsign, faster to raise the rpm’s, yet able to keep me from busting myself (in not being behind bars the very first week). Let’s just go through the list first. I did not get: 1) Nissan 350Z (too expensive) 2) Mustang GT (no head room) 3) Mustang convertable (would get slashed where I work) 4) Mazda6 (interestingly enough, it got poor ratings with Consumer reports) 5) Hyundai Tiburon (well, no explanation there) 6) Toyota Celica (for the 2nd time, when I’ve gone to buy a new car from any of the 3 Toyota dealerships around, they had VERY POOR customer service. Now, if they’re going to treat a valuable customer (with cash in hand) like this, how are they going to treat someone who comes in with service needs months later?? Nope, not for me. 7) Mazda RX8 (not out, at least where I live...and most likely too pricey anyway) 8) Dodge SRT-4 (the seats were WAY too narrow!) 9) Acura RSX (liked the power, but didn’t like the fact that you have to rev it up to 7500 rpm to get the most ideal performance out of the engine. GREAT for a race track, but not for ‘normal driving’ conditions). 10) Subaru WRX (very, very nice. However, -this- car would have really gotten me in trouble FAST! I would have missed the boogie, and would have been calling you all to come and bail me out from behind bars! Not safe for me. Just ask quade!). What I did decide on, is HERE. 210 horsepower. V6 SOHC, 3.0 liter, 5 speed. Ultra Red Pearl with black leather interior. And for the '03 GTS model, it gets good Consumer Reports and Intellichoice ratings. Interesting enough, it kicks my ‘98 Mustang GT’s butt!! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
