hmm...a bit out of my price range, although ive raced alongside cars like that...

im lookin a bit lower, while my dads lookin at the new M3 and 911 turbo...

but i still gotta be able to compete at the track, since we sold the S2000 and all...

stability and quality--so basically, performance. thats why im lookin into BMW and Audi, among other companies, and will never consider american. if i wanted raw power (ala buying a winPC), id buy a POS camaro. but i want a GOOD car, which is why i stick w/ euro and japanese. ill give up a lil power if i can get a better all-around car, which DOES include turning (fer some reason, american car fanatics dont know what that means...).



sry fer the somewhat bitterness of this post, but i live in the south, and they are very ignorant of cars and keep shoving their "american cars are better than everything" bullshit down my throat...





ok, so heres what i want in my car--quality, w/ a mix of speed and agility. i race my cars semi-pro, so i need both qualities from my vehicle, along w/ reliability for everyday use.

cause some people on here actually know something about cars, and i value opinions of those who have different experiences w/ cars. its a different perspective.

I found it!! I found the car you want/need!!







it has it all: Euro and lil' power! And it is all ready to race! So who says Europe doesn't produce trash?



/edit...it's a Yugo for those who don't know....

I remember hearing from a friend of mine who runs an environmental products web site (ill pimp the link some time, its really cool) that theres a kick ass european car/truck/something coming out soon that runs on desil and gets 1000 miles a gallon. Considering that the average SUV gets 40mpg on normal gas...

yeah, we were lookin into that., but there are a few points that dont work.



1.) too expensive fer me (might work fer my dad though...).

2.) its american. thats a strike right there, although its one of the better american cars out there...

3.) it doesnt turn as well as id like. yes, it makes up fer that w/ raw power, but...well...i guess i could live w/ that.



so...its earned my respect, but ill stick w/ the more refined power and great handling of euro and jap cars...fer now.
