Just found my newest dream ride...

Hi Stu Pitt.
Yes, I want one like that.
That's exactly what I was looking for.
Does it come with air conditionning ?
How many watts for the amplifier?
Is it T amp or Class D amp or SE tube amp. ?
The drivers are they GR Research in an open baffle configuration?
How many weeks for delivery?
Can I pay with the local money here? (Vietnam Dong)
Ha, ha, ha...

I currently (since new) a Ford Contour SVT.
I would like to have a Cadillac CTS-V
I cannot stand driving cars with automatic transmissions...

Perfect for Canadian winters. Doesn't need no stinkin' winter tires. And protects you from those driving on summer ones.

A Caterham Seven.

I also like the GT-40 (new and old), the Porsche 917, Shelby Mustang GT-350R, and the Jag Mk IV.

I'm a huge fan of 911s. Looking forward to the next gen, which will be coming out fairly soon. Turbo, GT-2, GT-3. . .not the mild-mannered regular ol' 911.

I would also love to have Porsche's soon to be produced super-fast hybrid, the 918 Spyder.

Wouldn't mind the new Ferrari 458 Italia, either.

Andy, you are a riot! But I know the truth and that is your dream car is a '99 Corolla and as a close second any year's rendition of the P.T. Cruiser. BTW, my daughter is with you all the way. She calls it the P. T. Luiser

Bryston amplifiers in my Xanadu and a 1999 Corolla in the driveway - I am most truly blessed. The role of my wife's PT Cruiser is not to let it all go to my head.

Be well...

Hi Napalm.
I am a Canadian from Montreal, therefore I know exactly what you mean when you talk about winter.
I am now living in Vietnam and a vehicule like that would be very useful to protect me from all those Vietnamese driving the wrong way and bumping into me. Last time a Vietnamese bump into me a spent a week at the hospital.
However, I wonder how many miles per gallon that thing does? Probably you need to stay within one mile from a gas station.

dont really care much about cars at all......kinda bore me actually......as long as it runs and i feel somewhat safe......this one seems nice and safe.

Stu Pitt · « **Reply #29 on:** 13 Nov 2010, 02:20 am »

I've owned several Volvos, Volks. Don't let their nice and safe reputation fool you, their performance is easily on par with their safety. I miss my 850 Turbo and 740 Turbo. Both went over 250k miles. The 850 was totaled by my brother 5 days after I gave it to him. The 740's owner reported 325k miles and no issues last I sopke to him.

Hi all.
Does it come with umbrellas?
Nice ride, however, I don't see any ways to put a top on that car, what happen when it rains?

Hi Clark.
Why did you sell one of those beauties to buy a house ?
I could sleep or even live in one of those !
I could, sleep and eat in the Thunderbird.

It has a range of about 200 miles, you have a choice of a gas turbine or diesel engine, but basically you get something like 1 mile / gallon. And it takes like 10 gallons for a cold start of the turbine. It just has huge fuel tanks lol.

But beware that you will need to learn how to use the driving controls:

As with any modern american technology, it has a "Reset" button that you need to press from time to time in order to keep things going.

There is an old saying that is absolutely true about owning a classic car... The two best days that you'll have are the day you buy it and the day you sell it. I had a '55 T Bird just like the one in the picture. It was all original, which meant a 6V electrical system, that barely had enough power to turn the engine over. The wife wouldn't drive it after getting stranded a couple of times, and finally, it sat in the garage. The year came that I didn't even put 1000 miles on it, so it was time for it to go... But man, that car would run like a bat out of hell

Guy,

You pull over, get a room, and spend it with your favorite woman!

If she isn't your favorite woman (ala pumpkinman's blonde), then use the umbrella in your wallet.

A really cool car that's a bit under the radar for some reason.
2010 Lotus Elise...

As far as sports cars go, it's pretty cheap - between $47k and $55k. They're very sharp in person.

that is the car that is making me consider selling my de tomaso pantera. nice examples, 2006/2007 are now able to be had for ~$30k or less...
