    If I beat the poop out of a Civic, I got find parts for it at the corner store... 3.5RL are the typical retiree car... and not exactly popular...

    Awfully similar stance... when i'm late for class.

    It's a 1998 model. Silver. Won't bother with pics as steering the boat out of it without power steering is workout... and there's like a good 10cm of snow covering it now.

    I googled some more pics
    Mine isn't very far from this condition...

    RL's are cool, i was considering a 2002 used model instead of the IS250 i ordered, but it just seemed way too big. If i was really into the whole 'bippu' thing i probably would have bought it though. slap some 20" chrome dubs on it and get some curtains and shit going lol.

    What are you guys saving up for? By around 2010, I should have done 2 years of work after college and have 20K to spend on a car. The Evo 3, R33 GTR, MK4 Supra will be available, with the Evo4 just a year away.

    Or I could wait for that sexy new Hyundai RWD coupe. 10 year warranty? 300HP? Less $$ than the Mustang GT? Yes please.

    Well, some of us has to pay for college, university, and let's put it nicely: financially unsupportive parents.-sweat I don't want my parents to buy me some random Ford Focus or Chevrolet Cobalt POS. They sent me an ultimatum of the choice of a Chevrolet or nothing. I chose nothing. 15k for a Cobalt that gets to from A to B in the most boring, unstylish way or blast from A to B in a 10k Skyline GTS25 sedan.
    Considering there's less then 20 of these in the continent as we speak.

    The Supra's are already available. And the R33 (non-GTR) will be up for grabs by august 2009. Some importers have already started shipping them here.


    I hope you have 85k laying around somewhere... Did you see the JDM owner's service manual? It requires some uber maintenance every 5000km. Unless you rob a bank or you're part of the Mafia. There's going to be "N1" version coming out soon, i.e. pure, non-BS, lightweight GT-R, by 2012. By then, I'l be out of uni and making big bucks hopefully.

    i have 85 K in change between my couch cushions. pocket change, yo.

    jokes, il have to save up quite a bit... and 85 K is a significant over estimate. if i were to buy a used 2009 model in 2012, i could probably get it for 40 grand.

  14. sick... a cts...

    you know, i actually like the rear half of this model.. but id rather have the front half of the 07.. theres something about the new one's front that i dont like.... its too... rounded lol
     
  15. fearless_fx

    fearless_fx Eugooglizer

    rounded? wtf lol, i swear the guy who designed the new cadilac range only had a ruler.
     
  16. lol compare it to the old ones..

    this new one has a fatter front if you ask me :p
     
  17. fearless_fx

    fearless_fx Eugooglizer

    lol it is definitely way larger, i suppose it kinda looks like the rest of the car is trying to bust through the front and its kind of buckling outwards.

    i like the way the new caddys look though. this dude came into my work tonight and registered his 2007 escalade, cost him like 58 G cuz he brought it from the states, whereas here it retails for around 74 grand lol.

    i'm sure it'd still be cheaper to get it from US and ship it here... lol
    wonder how many would get sold? heehe

    oh and yesterday, i saw a chevy at the airport outside the departure section, and it had californian rego plates on it!!!
    it hogged up the lane big time....lol

    Man, since I played Need For Speed: Most Wanted, I really wanted to have Aston Martin, but that was BD9, I really love AM




    EDIT: Did anyone saw the 10 most expensive cars from AutoMotoPortal?? That Bugatti Veyron really hooked me up. Here it is:

    [​IMG]

    Code:
    Gordon Murray (designer of McLaren F1 which for many years was the fastest production car ever built)
    -
    [I]The most pointless exercise on the planet has got to be this four-wheel-drive 1000 horsepower Bugatti. I think it’s incredibly childish this thing people have about just one element—top speed, standing kilometre or 0-60. It’s about as narrow minded as you can get as a car designer to pick on one element. It’s like saying we’re going to beat the original Mini because we’re going to make a car 10 mph faster on its top speed—but it's two foot longer and 200 kilos heavier. That’s not car designing—that just reeks of a company who are paranoid. 	”
    
    Murray was impressed with the Veyron after he test drove one, but still apprehensive about it in an article he wrote for Road and Track magazine.[/I]
    
    After the car had reached production, Murray went on to write an article for another UK auto magazine, Top Gear, retracting a lot of his past criticism of the car.
    [I]
        "One really good thing, and I simply never expected this, is that it does change direction. It hardly feels its weight. Driving it on a circuit I expected a sack of cement, but you can really throw it at tight chicanes."[/I]
    
    He also declared in the article that: [I]"The braking is phenomenal, the primary ride and body control are good too" and "It's a huge achievement."[/I]

    I think Subaru Imprezas are for Dirt Racing

    I've seen one here in Phoenix, tell you honestly, that car is sick, when you see it infront of you, damn! The car is tight, honestly
