You need a Nimbus 2000 for that, Jason.

I saw a 2004 WRX Sti in Detroit on Friday. I thought that they weren't coming out until this fall? I also saw a new Viper in April? But I think that some millionaire was driving it... it was parked by some club with the top down for everyone to see. I think that I was the only person who realized that it was the "new" Viper and not just some convertible. The new Viper is sooooo boring compared to the old one. It has no curves anymore. The car is just straight and plain. It looks like it's more in the SL500's class now. Dodge messed up big time. As for the Sti, it was ugly. I like the stats of the car, but those gold rims and high spoiler look awful.

Sorry to get off subject. But you guys are waaaay off subject too.

FYI, I saw the Matrix twice and I think that I'd rather be Morpheus than Neo. Much less responsibility than Neo, I would have Jada's attention, and I get to do that cool sword move and shoot the Esclade EST in the gas tank and kill those ghost guys.

Only if you really want a true modern day interpretation of a pure classic sports car.

No don't buy one unless you have four grand to replace the rear end of the car when it goes out a 60000 miles.

How many of these cars are on the roads in N. America alone? ........... 20,000? 30,000? 40,000? Of these how many that have NOT had a life of clutch dumps have turned up with a busted rear end? 1/2 dozen? 1 dozen?
Pretty small percentage. There's probably been more cases of bad alternators or fuel pumps than this.
Should I NOT by this car unless I have 4 grand in the bank "just in case" my rear diff goes? I'd risk it.
