You're also following an NSX.

There's a stuffload of NSXes in my area. Like 10 at every car meet. I'd much rather have either merc in front of me or best of all the modded BMW in orange front left.

Man there are like...none around here. Mercedes and BMW is no problem, but I usually go months without seeing an NSX.

Oh my bad, at first glance I thought that was a second of the same type of mercedes on the right. They look kinda scarily similar.

I don't like the genesis purely because it's way faster than it should be. It's a goddamn genesis. Why is it putting out like 310 horsepower?

Does anyone know more about the Lotus Elise



I've been looking to buy one, and even with a lot of studying I can't call myself a car expert, someone has to know more than me.
Any info?

are you prepared to get that kind of attention, also are you a millionaire?

[Ocelotus]

are you prepared to get that kind of attention, also are you a millionaire?

Used Elises can be dirt cheap. They're only like 50k USD new and they shed value because there's no demand for them on the used car market. I bet you can find one for 20k USD.

its possible ill get this

stay tuned
                ^
also with that kind of money to spend 20K usd is a LOT of money
its not really a practical car to own either, 2 seats and almost no storage
unless you have another car, just buy something reasonable like an RX8 or an Audi station wagon that is fast but with some utility

Ayy got my driver's license today. It was extremely easy, just drive straight and make a few right turns, and I passed.

SOLD!, crap, I had so much hope for that one, I actually had the money this time

really happy with how this turned out, even though the black wasn't as dark as it should of been

So it looks like I might be able to get my uncle's '00 Buick Le Sabre for anywhere between free and very cheap. He is trying to sell it for $800-$1000 and he'll be donating the money anyway, and then he offered it to me for completely free (needs some minor repairs, about $200-$300). I will probably insist on giving him at least something for it if I take up his offer.

Washing my car for the first time since my brother left has revealed to me a frightening situation: My Yukon has rusted, and it is rusted BAD.

It doesn't help that we live in the coastal area of Houston, where the air is humid and salty. We have no room in the garage, so I have to leave it out in the driveway no matter what weather, even in extreme storms (It survived Hurricane Ike, for crying out loud!). Also, it's 11 years old. The rims that he put on have rusted, there is rust spots in the paint, and it looks like some parts underneath have rusted quite a bit as well.

Fortunately enough, these Yukons last. 11 years of continuous wear and tear and this thing still drives true. I'm beginning to get worried about it, though.

not going to lie though, that front end needs work
the grill is way too big and the lights are all wrong (which is why i put a fast moving gif instead of a still picture) ;)

I love the whole car XD, I saw this earlier and I was like, THEY BETTER BRING THIS TO THE US, It's to good to not bring it state side.
