    The one thing I didn't like about it was the SMG transmission, it just sux for stop and go traffic. At least with a clutch pedal, you can smooth it out but without one, it's the jerkiest ride I've ever driven. It drives like someone who's trying to learn a manual. I hope there's going to be a manual M5 in the future...

    Yeah, everything I put on or in my cars has a purpose. Exterior is usually stock with a mix and match of factory parts from different years. Like my gray MR2, it's a 1991 with a 1991 wing but '94 tail lights, front has a '93 lip and OEM clear corners from Japan. Interior has the suade seats and door panels from japan as well. The black track car has the flush headlights instead of the flip ups for the extra bit of aerodynamics tho I dunno how much it really cut down...

    Go with a Mamba system...it's sensorless so it's much more powerful, plus the controller is PC programmable - which is sweet cos programming a brushless controller is even more annoying than a conventional.

    It's cheaper than the Novak also :)

    I hear ya on the cash though :(

    Well the Flathead still spins, we hooked a battery up to it and tried and it still spins so thats good.
    There are no bad rust spots or dents on the body to take care of so a good sanding should take care of most of that.
    The seat is still in good shape which suprised us, it needs a good cleaning but other than that its good, no cracks or rot anywhere same with the plastic steering wheel
    There are a few missing chrome pecies though, on the front the chrome ford lettering is gone and so are the hubcaps but i can replace those.
    ITs going to be painted a dark ford blue with black running boards and interior
    the chrome on it will be redipped along with any replacement parts that need it.
    And to finish it off where gonna throw in 5 whitewall tires.

    No, no, no! GM sucks, seriously. I know a lot of car guys at my RC club, some are mechanics. We all agree that GM has a lot of serious problems, as I already mentioned. Even though NM+ disagrees, I think the mechanic/arbitrator that I know who works for Canada's biggest auto auction knows a little more. GM is their biggest account and he sees a lot of engine problems pass by his desk that Ford, Chrysler, et al don't seem to have.
    Though the engines have the power, but they are poorly made and suffer a lot of critical (and expensive) problems. These include blown gaskets, blown bearings, piston knock, etc. The cooling systems also leave something to be desired. All of these can cripple the engine, yet are easy to fix at the assembly level. They've developed out of basic design flaws and a use of low-quality, cheap parts. The quality of GM has been steadily declining since the mid-90s, which is why their business is doing so bad now. Though GM will repair any problems for free if you are still under warranty, they won't issue a recall as that would cost so much, they'd go out of business. Most GM cars are effected. The knock is more common with trucks, with the blown parts are more common in cars. You are really taking a gamble with their cars.

    American sports cars, I'd say Dodge Charger and Ford Mustang. Though Dodge tends to have transmission problems, the engine troubles with the GM are far more costly to repair. Another drawback with the American sports car is they don't like snow and ice. These are strictly a summer car. This isn't a problem if you live in a place where it doen't snow often if at all, and these two should give you years of fun.
    The Scion is nice, as well as the Honda Civic SI. Nissan is also highly recommended. These three are virtually indestructable and should handle all season driving with a good set of tires.

    Huh?? On Chevy's site the ss supercharged has a msrp of $21,310.00. Also if you are looking for the best bang for your buck def look at the Caliber SRT-4. Personally I hate the looks but they have a nice engine.

    Nice bike Dr V. :D
    My mom has a bike similar to that that she got in the early 80s. Blue too. She hasn't used it in over 10 years though. I don't really bike anymore either. I have one of those Mongoose ones, that I got just before they went out of style. :p
    It's a city bike. I think it's a 24 speed but I'm not sure.
    I hate cyclists because all the Toronto people that recently moved her have them. They all want to be like Lance Armstrong so they're decked out in the spandex on the racers. They disrupt traffic by going up very busy roads, which is extremely dangerous to both them and car drivers. The main roads through town simply aren't wide enough for both bikes and cars. What puzzles me is that we have tons of BMX and mountain biking places around here, yet they deicide to play in traffic. :confused:
