    Y'all're a buncha speed freaks.



    My car:







    It's nothing fancy, but it's inexpensive, practical, and the dealer doesn't suck. So far it's been a great little car.

    holy sh*t, that brought back memories...

    it was kinda like that, only i was in the middle of the turn to the right, and then the whole car just threw itself to the right, spinning and lurching back and forth--i honestly cant tell u exactly the path the car took cause i was in complete shock over the whole thing and it happened so fast...

    and i still dont know how i missed that light post...coming at the drivers side at 70-80 mph...



    i should be dead right now...



    oh well--cant wait to get back on the road w/ my baby--hopefully she'l be fixed soon.

    Nah. It's not going to win any design awards, granted, but it's innocuous.



    Then again, I've never figured out why people swoon over BMW's designs.

    Good point about the BMW. 2 reasons:

    1) the 3-Series actually looks good (the rest are OK)

    2) they're German therefore it's automatically great <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

    Hey, another Saturn owner! We have to stick together among these Euro-freaks and speed whores!







    You got the LS? Or is that the SL? I can't tell from the pic. A co-worker got one (LS) in dark gray last year. It's nice. She's about 5'2", so she basically has to sit on a phone book, but those are nice.



    I have the SC coupe in silver.



    Have you seen the VUE yet, Saturn's SUV? It's pretty nice, actually. A good bit larger than the KIA Sportage, but not quite one of those big honkin' Ford Expeditions or whatever.



    Saturn makes good, basic stuff for guys satisfied with their wang dimensions.

    Nice Z's breakskull. I especially like the two white ones. What's the 2xx model? a 240? 260? Doesn't look like a 280. Hard to tell though.



    I had a 71 240 once upon a time...miss that old car. Wanna get another someday but they're getting rare and more expensive.

    hmm, damn i hate being an euro-speed-freak.



    WANG is a funny word, though.

    Oh, that's right seb, your a Z fan... It's a 1978(with some modifications...) 280Z. Yep, the last year they were made. I'm going to sell the Cherry Red ZX. Like you, I would like to find a nice, non rusted 240Z. The clean ones are beginning to command higher prices. I wish I had hung on to my 1971 240Z way back when...

    My Dad had a 1970 240z that he bought used in 1972... we used to take it out every weekend or so to drive to the post office or something and my Dad always liked to floor it and show off some impressive acceleration. Ahh, memories. He sold it to our lawncare dude in 1995 or something. For about $2000.

    I drive a 97 Wrangler.



    Wish I drove either a BMW M-5 or an Audi S-8 quattro. Or maybe an Aston Martin DB-5 or a DB-7. Or maybe a Range Rover or a BMW X-5. Can't make up my mind...

    I've been very happy with my 2001 Isuzu Rodeo. 3.2 L V6. Perfect for all the shitty potholes in the industrial areas I have to drive around. Great for loading up bikes, camping gear, bass guitar amps, skiis, or doin' the nasty.
