[quote author=“CRYPTiC”]If I had the money, I’d get a silver G35 and put in some FI, possibly a body kit (a nice one, not something that screens RICEBOY ).

Riceboy - That’s funny.  No such term when I was young. 

I still love cars and driving.  However, the time is near when I will have to sell my beloved ‘96 black 993 Porsche. :cry:  Hardly drive it anymore, but to the golf course.  Pretty hard to fit my two little ones in there.  Time for a sports sedan. :D

My other car is an ‘04 Acura MDX.

1993 Corolla LX, reddish with 150k miles and an ‘eschew obfuscation’ bumper sticker on the back. Ah, student life.

It occured to me while I was driving to work today that my Vaio is worth more than my car…  :shock:

I realised that mine costed nearly 3 times what my roommate paid for his camry.  :o

yeah my vaio is worth more than my old car,too.

Black on Black Acura NSX :twisted:

Green Land Rover Discovery - (suburban mom vehicle - never been to a jungle or desert - good to know I could, I guess…)

Nice pics…what is the hidden switch for in the storage area with the spare change?

Its a video bypass switch that i installed to bypass alpine’s “watch video only when your car is parked and emergency brake is on. Its retarded but I guess they had to do that so people can concentrate on driving. 

Merc C36 AMG, Hopefully picking it up today!  :mrgreen:

Is that a European model??  We only have a C32 here in the states.  I have been considering a C32 AMG, an E500 or an E55 AMG.

They had a c36 a while back…they also had the c43. Recently the c32 was available, however they dumped it in ‘05 for the c55.

Yes, UK model. Do you know if they all have the active suspension or am I just lucky this one has? Its the old shape C class now, i belive the C32 is the new shape, and about a second quicker to 62mph.  That c55 sounds like a monster though! Starting to get into Brabus teritory there!

Oh, and didn’t get it today, going over there tommorow to talk. Its a friend of my brother selling it, and I asked him on the test drive if the head gasket had been done, he wasn’t sure, but the info would be in the full history…. Now I guess it hadn’t been done cause a day later it blew! Didn’t overheat fortunatly, he had it recovered from the motorway after pulling over immediately.  The poor guy was an hour in to a 5hour drive to the west country, for a weeks holiday, complete with 3 kiddies and suitcases in the back!

Any ideas how much he’ll be paying to have this done, and is it a standard mercedes head gasket, or special AMG one?

The other thing I’m trying to find out about is the “wire harness”? Aparently that is the other costly thing that can go on these, but I have no clue what it does or replacement costs etc.

So…....you’re using a bypass to bypass the bypass?..................cool. 8)

It’s quite surprising that people in USA complain so much about gas prices. After the hike in prices of gas here, the prices of gas in India have also gone up…a litre of gas there now costs like Rs. 40 (~ 90 cents) so basically if a gallon of gas costs 2 USD here it costs 4 USD there and the people here (in USA) earn 7-8 times what a person would earn in India…which also happens to be the prime reason for outsourcing.
