I thought it was pretty up there as far as personal car experiences, right on par with the LFA

Never drove one of those, will I like it?

Im weird with cars, so far the best car I ever driven has been a 997 Turbo S, what a machine!

well I know you're weird about stuff like that, that's why I'm curious to hear what you think! I have no idea if you'll like it.

360CS is one of my favorite Ferraris. Haven't heard my neighbor's 355 yet. Need to catch him with the garage open & get a ride.

My favorite exhaust tone is the Model S-P85. And does it shift smooth...whoa.

We should make a separate thread for Srika and his super car posts. Most of the pages are just filled with the pics of super cars and their listings on the web. lol

My apologies. I thought we established that your recent absence had to do with a focused effort to concentrate your energies to online porn for an extended period of time.

Um, why are you asking my permission if you need to start a thread or not?

The only possible reason a mod would perhaps do something pertaining to a newly created thread is if a similar topic exists already and thus, a merge is needed and etc.

So...Go for it?

Otherwise, continue to post supercar sales in here if you want. I'm sure BoostedJack and Altegris appreciate all the great deals you find for them to continue to add to their car collection.

I don't think you ever needed my permission to post anything.

One of these days, I hope you get 16 feet of snow dumped on you and then, you'll understand.

AND BESIDES, KIMCHI...ONCE ALL THAT 16 FEET OF SNOW MELTS INTO WATER, YOU'D THINK A SEA CREATURE KNOWS HOW TO MOVE IN THAT, RIGHT!?!??!

See? Just planning ahead.

So, question for you peeps, if your mother wants to replace her car with something easy to maintain, good for long winters, and yet NON-JAPANESE...what would you recommend? She'd like to keep it around $30K if possible.

And new too. No to used.

Haven't been in one in a few years, but knew a guy that was svc mgr at a local small Kia store. He had one for a demo, not bad, though a little firm on the bigger wheels.

What about something like a Forte/Elantra? I had an Elantra for a rental for a 4hr each way trip. Not a bad car & got good MPG.

What about the Fiesta?
