It might not be as slow as you think: it's not just about power, but power-to-weight ratio...

If it's a little, lightweight car, it could be quite fast... :)

You wouldn't diss a motorcycle with 106 bhp, would you? :hehe:

True....a little moto with 106 is a monster

My dream is still to buy a BMW M-3 series. (But my wife wants a Mercedes) :sweat: However, the newer the better. *duh* Just as long as I don't get stuck with one past the year 1998.

I own a mk3 1969 triumph spitfire, its a classic two seater convertable british sports car, I love it ^_^
Tis soo much fun to drive, really feel like you are sitting on the road. Just about to go out in it now! Shame its a bit too wet to have the roof down :/

Someone on my block just bought a Chevy Cobalt in a really nice...ahem, cobalt blue. Surprisingly I think this one's kinda cute. For Chevy, the only one I think is hot is that Trailblazer :mrgreen:

And uh, the Hyundai Tucson.....is it me or does this look almost exactly the same as the Santa Fe? :crazy: I guess it's a size difference? From pictures I just can't tell the big difference. I haven't seen it in person.

First, if ever. :beaten:

Good thing I'm not driving yet.

Bus pass = $40/month. No insurance, no maintanence, and no gas fees. :beaten: :hehe:

Still driving the Honda, 86? If so, at least your gas mileage isn't so bad. :D

Yep, but I still do. But after a while, it hits the pocket pretty hard. :beaten:

Yeah, tell me about it. Even when I was driving my Honda, I was spending about $30/week on gas. At the time, it hurt. And that's when gas prices were low. $2.05/gallon for premium. Imagine what I'd be spending now, if I were driving. :sweat:

WOW thats a lot of driving Aho, u must have loved cruisin around in your pimp mobile :hehe:

Super was $2.61 at Arco last Saturday. Yeowch.

When I was single, cruising and picking up chicks was fun. And it also cost me a lot of money and gas money. :beaten: :beaten:

Hopefully now, since I'm married, fuel won't be so much of an expense.

Luckily you live on an island, so public transporation is decent. It's difficult to rely on said transit in California.. :sweat:

Yup. But the bus system here sucks. Either early or late of scheduled time. Gotta make sure that you leave extra early 'just in case'. :grumble:

Just passed by the Arco near my house, $2.53 for regular 87...... :shakehead: I think 91 was like $2.71..

It's a mess here, especially in SoCal.
