Oh man, I really hope that's not true. I drive an old '92, 2 door Toyota Tercel. It used to be red, but it's faded to a horrible pinkish colour, except for the front fender and drivers door, which are bright red from when someone backed into my car. The fenders over the tire wells are sanded down, b/c they were rusted, and now they're sprayed white, and have been that way for months. It chug-a-lugs its way up hills going about 30km/h, and frequently stalls, and sometimes refuses to shift into reverse, which is quite annoying. So I guess that would make me a run down, hunk of junk that has to stop and sit down every few km. Greaaaat. I feel so much better about myself now. lol.

www.3si.org/forum\n\na wealth of information, anything and everything can be found here if it relates to 3000gt and Stealths.\n\nyour options are endless, most people begin with intake, exhaust and boost.  a K&N filter, gutted converters, and boost control ($10 bleeder valve to $300 AVCR) can get a Stealth into low 13's or high 12's.    second mods could be\ninjectors and fuel control, clutch, and bigger turbo's.  \n\nc'ya around

I have a 72 monte (currently in restoration) and the new ones are CRAP compared to the old ones.  I have a friend who just traded in a 02 ? Monte because the trans was starting to slip.  I love chevys dont get me wrong, but if the stang is a V8 it is better as far as construction and life after miles is concerned.  As for the women thing, I see a lot of chicks driving mustangs, so if you get the stang you better trick it out if you want to stand apart from the ladies.  The monte has sexy lines, but the mechanical soundness is a turnoff.  (Dont pull up on a girl and try to talk to her if she cant hear you over the rattle under the hood) Go old school, chicks really dig that.

Great I don't know but it is a pretty good car from what I have read. It is manufactured by Toyota and built in Japan so it is one reliable ride.\n\nFor some reason Consumer Reports didn't seem to like it.

I do not like them much.  Reliable car but the rear suspention is soft and doesn't seem to work well.  Buy a newer one 2002 or newer with the echotech 2.2.  That motor is great.

I currently have the Evo2 which is the same thing as the evo3 but with a different circuit board. i havent had any problems with it yet, it runs great and it has a really good battery life. as opposed to a halo its a lot lighter and lesk boat-like. The door to open it is spring loaded so it can be difficult to deal with in a game at times but it locks open pretty nicely so all you have to do is fool around with it a little. It has a 5 rubber pronged rotating feed system that has eyes so that it stops rotating when something is in the neck. I havent had any problems with it breaking any balls inside the hopper like halos do sometimes, as well as many other electric hoppers. check www.actionvillage.com out as well as the forums on www.pbnation.com if you want to know more about it, but i would say it's a great investment.

just buy a nice regular saloon... dont go to a too posh car or your clients could always think you must be very expensive in your trade to afford such a car !!

The STI is certainly cheaper and more luxurious than the MR.  It all depends on what you want.  The STI has been improved year after year, all in pursuit of one target, the Evolution.  Having said that, the Evo is still in the lead.  It has a stiffer chassis and higher overall performance.  Compared to a stock lancer, there are far more differences between the evo and a lancer than there are between an STI and a regular impreza.  If you look at the production based rally classes, the Evolution does a lot better than the STI in general.  It's truly a race car for the street.  \n\nHowever, the Subaru has more luxury, safety, and comfort.  If your ultimate goal is handling and performance, the MR has more overall capability.  The STI is ever so slightly lower performance, but is easier to live with on a daily basis.  Subaru as a company is also doing better than Mitsubishi, so the dealers are generally better that Mitsubishi ones.  Try both and pick the one you like best, you can't go wrong.\n\n*I own an Evo.

Not sure abou the Cobalt SS, but I had to drive a basic cobalt from a rental company after crashing my daily driver.  The car drove nice and did pretty good on mileage.  From a general perspective, was a pretty nice car.

have had one for 2 months(the third imprezza i have had) and it is a great fun car to drive on the road, interior is a bit cheap but performance and handling excellent.will soon be stripping it for rallying though and that is where it really wins out

Well, it was always like: Porsches are more fun to drive. Mercedes are more classy and luxurious. Yes, yes, until....the SL65 AMG!!!\n\nLet's assume that money is no object, there is no doubt that if you exclude from the equation the Porsche Carrera GT, among all other Porsches and Mercedes, the best car today is the SL65.  Just go online on any search engine and type SL65, and read the reviews. Twin turbo. Mind blowing power: 604 horses. Over 740 lbs of torque. Aggressive lines. Class, technology, grip. It's a shame that you need approx $ 190,000 to get one, otherwise it would be already in my driveway. Oh well....\n\nThe SL65 came out last year and it has since been the topic of conversation at jet-set dinner tables in Palm Beach, the Hamptons and Beverly Hills (and lucky valet attendants!).\n\nI tend to agree, Porsches are more fun, but how can you give up 604 plush horses that simply overshadow the 911 (480 hp for the new 2007 version) ????

That's like comparing a Jet fighter to a biplane, performance wise the ZO6 will own the BMW in every aspect, but the BMW will be better appointed and have good road manners.  Still, if you want the best performance car then the ZO6 gets my nod.

Yes, that is why I am so interested in E5. I hear some vehicles are coming out with the option of using it. I hope many more do and it gets fixed up to use real easy.

first of all, AWSOME BIKE. I have one of those....dont put pegs on it whatever you do or you will break the axle..its a dirt jumping bike, not for freestyle. Expensive upgrades are the lightest...heres the cheapest ways...first, remove the plastic chain guard if it has one, second, get light weight tires, third, get lighter cranks, fourth, get lighter rims or build your own, (i build my own bikes) fifth, remove any reflectors, they are pointless, anything you see on the bike that can be removed and still make the bike work.....i have about $500 worth of upgrades on my 07 X1

I own an 05 165 Burton S-series and for what it is, I like it alot.\n\nWith the skins on, in walk mode, it works very well on steep climbs. Great traction and the fairly short length make switchbacks easy. The board is heavy and after a long hike I really feel it in my hips. The fact that you don't have to lift your feet as high as you would hiking with snow shoes on and then not having to ride with too much extra gear on your back evens this out for me a bit. I'm seriously considering some lighter bindings to help lighten the load as every ounce shaved makes a difference on a long hike. \n\nWhen you get to the top putting it back together is simple and it offers a great ride. In soft snow conditions the difference between this board and a non-split board is hardly noticable, it's a little softer than I'd like but that isn't a big deal. In hard conditions you can definately feel the difference but this has never bothered me as I would never ride this board in anything but powder or spring conditions. I've only dropped some small cliffs (10 footers or so) and it seems to handle it just fine, again it's a bit soft for this (at least softer than boards I like) but it stayed together no worries.\n\nNow for the cons. This board sucks for touring. In walk mode, always keep the skins on and don't try to ski it. Waaaaay too short and soft not too mention that the binding interface in walk mode isn't the strongest or stiffest of attachments. If the conditions are right and you practice alot you might be able to pull off some tele-turns on it but I find it's more trouble than it's worth. I find that it is much faster to just walk it (meaning using the board in walk mode with the skins on) over rolling terrain as stopping to put it together for a short descent and then taking it apart again for a climb and then repeating takes too much time and energy. Some friends have suggested I try kick-skins with it (kick skins are very short narrow skins that you stick to your base just underfoot and they allow just enough traction on flat ground or small climbs but allow for enough glide to make the skis a bit more skiable) but I haven't had a chance yet.\n\nOverall, it shouldn't be your only board and I'd never take it out at a resort but if you plan to make a lot of trips into the backcountry it's a great board for that. Definately practice with it on short backcountry trips before you really go for it. Oh and be sure to study up on your avalanche knowledge (consider taking a course) and never go into the back country alone and never forget a probe, shovel and beacon. You don't want to die out there.\n\nHere's a good website to check out:\n\nhttp://www.splitboard.com/
