LOL, like I said, it was late night run of the mouth. I've since wised up. I still like the look of it though.

It's a financially smarter decision to keep my car since it's worth more than I owe, and when it's paid off I'll be able to justify getting into bigger/better things like larger turbo's, etc. That sounds more fun and smart to me anyway.

I like dryad001's idea about the bimmer sometime.

I like the look of the X. I really wouldn't care if I didn't though, as long as it's fast.

Right now I plan on getting one. Probably early 2009.

Yeah, I just saw those last night. Looks pretty crazy.

Though, everytime I see it all I can think about is a giant whale sifting for plankton

Woo hoo! Great gas mileage on my last tank: 25.4mpg. The gas light came on at 298 miles, right before I hit a traffic jam where it took me about an hour to go about 2-3 miles.
Oh well, I consider that pretty good mileage for an Evo, especially after sitting in that jam.

Anyone else get stuck in that mess this morning?

+1 on the GTR depending on the "final price" and if it comes as a NA V8 , or a TT V6 , or most likely NOT but still possible a V8TT . I must agree that the Evo X is starting to look better than it use to.

Did you miss the "when I get my 8 paid off" part?

And no offense, but I really, really like the looks and features of the C6.

But, now that you got me curious ... How much are you asking for it?

****, thats better than mine! Although I drive like an idiot and stick mostly to the city.

I think I break 30 when I drive the gfs and her cabin, just because its mostly under 70.

Driving upnorth at 100+ when you get in the boondocks doesn't help the mileage
