my point is, enthusiasts recognize that it resembles a shoe, and THEY ARE OK with it resembling a shoe.

I love love love the Clio V6. Compact, decently powered, mid engined, RWD, caught on fire a lot.........ok that last one isnt a plus, but I still want the damn car.
Then again, I love damn near anything if it is low and has a lift gate.![Shrug](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/shrug.gif)
I have fun "arguing" with Tyler about cars. Im not trying to change his (or anyone elses) mind, just get some [cheap] laughs.

Either "The Shoe" or "The Clown Shoe", even the owners dont mind it being called that.

wider = better! My only regret was not going staggered with 315s in the rear. WTF was I thinking.
I love the way my gen Camaro looks with this setup.... 275 front, 315 rear:

Not that any of you know but I haven't driven my Camaro in half a year or so. I've kinda fallen in love with it again, especially after driving it in the rain and having to drive an automatic Civic in it's place. But, I'm getting rid of it

I love wide tires!!
Haha yea I'm at my mercy of my dads will, but its all reasonable. The economy, the cars got 182,000 miles 12 years old and is slowly breaking down, including the transmission? There's no point of putting money into the transmission because who knows how long the next one will go on this car. So it is kinda justified. I know he wants to put as little money in this car as possible. Cause once this car is gone, he has no need to buy me one haha thats all on my own. He may help but who knows.

I know, but i can make do. They have more than enough grip to get through everyday use. The way i've driven it, it understeers a ltl at the limit, but easily controllable. Its like I go wide by a couple inches, but if i went about a foot or more I'd be in a hill lol. But going past the limit i'm sure it will just lose grip completely. My last tire squealed noticeably near the limit but still gripped, this one doesnt give that indication really which i kinda miss.

Only 1 half of my dual zone AC really works.. Drivers side blows air, passenger side blows cold air.. I did some research and it looks like the freon level may be low... I dunno.. Frustrating.. At least it is nice out.

I'm not quite sure how the lottery works... you can win, not the grand prize but rather smaller prizes, right?
Like my boss was saying, I don't even want to be a millionaire, I want to be a thousandaire.... just give me $500k. and if that were the case, I still want a CTS-V and SVT Raptor. Throw in a GT500 as well

sure I'd be happy with 500k, 250k, 100k.
but this is a question regarding if you won the 640m or whatever.
if I won 500k, I'd probably put most of it in investments so I can keep making money from it, and then I'd get myself a used Z06 or something of that nature.

I would definitely have a handful of NSXs in all different tuning states. Id have a freshly restored 2G CRX along with a balls-out, ass-engined, J-powered 1G CRX.
Aside from a Koenigsegg, Porsche and McLaren, I dont know of any other exotic I would buy. Im into weird cars that dont look fast but can run with the best of them![Shrug](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/shrug.gif)
Id also have a Ducati 848 in white with red trellis frame, an MV Augusta F3, finally finish building my NT650, a stock RC45, a VFR1200, a Goldwing (for long distance rides), and Id absolutely love to get my hands on a Honda NR
