Ace Of Spades Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Rechecked the badge, wasn't an RS as I thought. My bad.
BeemerBoy Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 speaking of... is the TT a respectable car yet? Its not bad in pictures to me, but its a bit overpriced IMO and I didn't like the TTS as much when I saw it on the street recently I respect it for being an Audi. That's all I got though.
jynx242 Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 There is an Aston Martin Vantage roadster in the parking lot across the street from my office. License plate says NIPTUCK. It is just so beautiful....sigh....
no_brain_er Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Someone in my town decided to get a Panamera. I do like Porsche as much as the next guy, but I feel like they could have done much better for the same price.
jmicha Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 ^^The light blue one? He has an office in Plantation Plaza off 278 in Bluffton (the same plaza the architecture firm I worked for is located) as well as one along either Henry or Andrew Street on the western side of Savannah. He's (obviously) a plastic surgeon and his second office focuses on dental. He would park it in the plaza several times a week and I would always stop and look. It's just so gorgeous. And I happened to leave right behind him several times and since I used Andrew Street to get to my house in Savannah I got to listen to its engine noise the entire ride home. Quite the good times.
jynx242 Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 ^ That would be the one . Small world. So, anyone got an extra couple of hundred thousand dollars lying around? I'd love one!  David  Aston Martin's make my MR2 Spyder look not so sexy...
no_brain_er Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 So, on my way home from Atlanta, I saw a jet black Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG fly down I-75. I'm not gonna lie - it looked incredible. Â
AJClarke0912 Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Went from THIS piece of crap that I got for "free" from my grandparents to this... Â Â Volkswagen Jetta VR6 Â It's a 2001 and it has tons of features like automated sunroof, seat memory settings, etc. And it's a manual. The V6 packed in that little car makes it GO. It has an early clutch engage and a narrower catch window than my brother's car, so it's tricky to drive at first (and when you're not paying attention lol). But that thing can really pick up speed, which is awesome since I love cars. And the stick shift has a "MOMO Italy" logo on it, which makes it look like it has an aftermarket race transmission. Or so I like to think. Â Also, the remote on the car keys doesn't fall apart like on the Mercury. That's because it has working A/C AND windows, so the car isn't 130 degrees while you drive, which means that the glue holding the keys remote doesn't melt. And it actually makes it drive-able in the summertime. YAY! Â And the license plate indicates my gender, which is always helpful for picking up the ladies...
Cameron Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 VR6 <3 <3 <3 Â I have owned three VR6s: a 1993 Corrado, a 1997 Jetta, and now a 2004 R32. I just love love love that motor! Â Cameron.
AJClarke0912 Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Yeah, it's a great engine! Nice kick, nice sound...
kumba830 Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 VR6... this kid is jealous. Â Welcome to the VW gang.
Mr. Starr Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Yeah, it's a great engine! Nice kick, nice sound... Â OH YEAH. Really gets me goin'. Oh yeahhh. Â Jussy, drive to Chicago now. Cool? Cool.
Sheep-O-Matic Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 I need help. The mehanic said I damaged my fuel guages, or something (those cap thingies under the gas tank) and I need to replace them. Is this a job I can do myself? BTW I have a 2001 Honda civic LX
FeelTheFORCE Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 ^ I'd suggest searching on forums geared towards Hondas or Civics. Not saying you won't get a good answer here, but there are a ton of them out there.
jynx242 Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 I need help. The mehanic said I damaged my fuel guages, or something (those cap thingies under the gas tank) and I need to replace them. Is this a job I can do myself? BTW I have a 2001 Honda civic LX Â Find one of the enthusiast sites for the Honda Civic - there will be an entire forum devoted to repairs. If you can't find it, post a question and someone will answer you. Also - make sure to get the Chiltons or Haynes guide for your car (these are the tear down and rebuild manuals) which will have photos and instructions of how to do what you want to do. Â I've had to do this with my Spyder - the spyderchat forum has been invaluable to me. There is no Haynes guide to my car - the only guide available is about $200 from Toyota
skitt2010 Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 The Cars Superthread... ultimate place for me to vent my joy at the weeks ive had... this has been my schedule: Â 1. 2 weeks ago my brother (a BMW racer) was racing at Rockingham circuit, UK... went and saw him place 2nd out of about 25. Â 2. Last week watched a friend during his tourer championship, he didnt do too well but he in the major leagues now. Â 3. Went to Japfest 2011 at Donington Park Raceway, UK the sunday just gone... great stunt and drift performances. Awesome displays from Japanese car owners and teams... Â 4. Later that sunday i watched the Silverstone GP, a thrilling race on my favourite track in the world!! Â 5. I have tickets to TRAX in september at Silverstone... im taking my car on a lap of the famous track, plan to see all the latest supercars in displays, watch the last round of the British Drifting Championship, and take a look around all the other attractions on that day. Â Wow, that feels better!! Â
ParkTrips Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 The car lineup didn't impress me all that much (multiple Vipers, jacked-up truck, meh), but the garage is pretty kick ass. I love the fact that it is nearly the same size as his house - I've long joked that if I ever were to become wealthy, my garage would have room for more cars than my house would bedrooms  I'll have a cool car one of these days...
SKULLY Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 I don't know, he represents the American market very well, has a Lambo for good measure, and a very nice JDM machine. There's nothing wrong with having what I believe are four different Vipers, especially when I own ZERO. As for the site, I think they often have some nice yet reasonably priced cars in their classified section. It also really helps to tear down and eliminate the stereotypes associated with wealthier car enthusiasts.
BeemerBoy Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 The amazing thing about that collection is that the owner is a super nice guy.....which is rare. I agree with Joe, the garage itself is the star of the show.
FeelTheFORCE Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Forget the garage, that sea of concrete is the real star of the show! Â But really, sure he isn't one of those people that owns 12 Enzos, 28 Veyrons, and 32 McLarens, but that collection is still impressive in my book! If it were up to me, though, I would have kept the 93 Viper stock.
cal1br3tto Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Today I attended Concours d'Elegance and saw practically all the cars I was hoping to, plus plenty more.
BeemerBoy Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 ^ Very cool. Which Concours event was it? Pictures? Â I'm considering a trip out to the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance next year. Eventually attending the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este is the ultimate goal though [drool]. And here's some great shots of that event from this year [more drool].
