The old joke about exotics is that plenty of people can afford to purchase them, just not very many can afford to service them.

If I didn't have my vette, I wouldn't be in any other cars - still be in a lifted chevy 2500HD pickup.

I believe you they can handle well and they do not look that bad. I was playing with one a few weeks ago and I think in a straight line I could have beat him off the line with my Silverado 2500HD, needless to say in my Vette it was not worth the gas.

Well, I'm sure it handles wonderfully but I need hard acceleration, deceleration AND handling. My Vette delivers on all. :Angel:

Speaking of Porsche, a guy at work has an 911 with GT body parts on it, looks pretty nice but when he goes to the cruise-ins he said nobody stops to look at it. I am wondering if people are ignoring him because they think he is a rich snob (which he isn't) or are people so ignorant they do not realize what a fine machine it is, maybe it is something else.

Something with AWD since I live in snow country. I wish the R34 Skyline was over here, but no such luck.
Probably settle for an STI or an AWD BMW at my current price range. |

I don't think you understand how much I dislike the Boxster/Gayman. I don't really care how it drives, I know how it looks.
