I don't know about that kinda cash brutha.....I know, I know, the average car is 40K but I hate buying new cars b/c they depreciate so much, I have another BIG expense comming up (i.e. engagement ring) so I need to see how much wiggle room I have. Any help on (1) used BMW (2) FJ cruiser (3) G35...thinking about A4 or A6. She might be amendable to a 350Z (the size and open cockpit of the S2000 was too much for her...yes, I know she's doesn't have the ring, but she will) Some hills aren't worth dying on brutha...
You know you've got my help anyway you go - you know I was kidding too. I'll warn you, I believe a high-line car should be European (bring on the flames ).....unless it is a NSX.

For the love of Pete (or whatever your girlfriend's name is...) DON'T get a 350Z.

I was watching the news this morning and both Fox and CNN ticked me off with their reports because they kept focusing back on the time he fed a croc with his infant son in his arm. It isn't that I agree with him when he fed crocs with his children (frankly, I could care less), it is just the fact that the man died this morning and all the media can talk about is how he was once reckless with his children

Where'd you hear that initial part? I've been telling you for the past year that 2007 is the last year. I heard it straight from our Honda rep just before the 2006's rolled out.
I called Brandon over at Honda yesterday - that is what he told me. He said that they were told 2006 would be the last year, but now he can place orders for 2007 models.

You haven't told me anything about the S2 being discontinued for 2007 before, unless you said something in a thread - nothing directly to me though.

I just drove it, and I'm sticking with my recommendation to you

It needs some suspension work, but it is fast! Faster than the E46 M3 - and power starts at 1500 RPM ......exhaust isn't too shabby for stock.

We have a black one with active steering, PP, Sport, Auto, Paddles, CWP that was PDI'd Saturday. We've all been driving the piss out of it

I could get in a lot of trouble with this car. The automatic is not bad - they've made a big improvement on that transmission with the paddle shifters - not bad for not being SMG.
