Sunday drive (56k no way)
It was absolutley B-E-A-UTIFULL this past Sunday, so some frineds and I got together and went for a short drive through the "hill country" of Texas. Pics:
We ended up driving through Salado and stoped to have lunch. It turns out that there is a Mermaid statue in this town. Pic:

'00 Grand Cherokee

'00 Civic
'97 Suburban
'98 Tahoe
So, yeah, I have had a few cars!!
I currently work for the family business, and have been working here for about a year and some. Before here, I had a bunch of business ventures. Fresh out of HS, I worked into owning a restuarant, which I still own a share of. After that, I managed a dock for a yacht club in Boston. While in Boston, I met the owner of trucking business who was looking to expand. So, I went into business with him and started a Southern division of his company. I grew the company from serving just MA, CT, a bit of ME and NH, to serving all of the before and TX, LA, OK, NM, MS, and AR. After that, I took a year off from working and went to a maritime academy in ME.
In between the bigger ventures, I tried to do it all. I was a Jeweler for a local diamond store (and I still do some on the side). I was a car salesman for Subaru (which I will never do again). I was a hometheater and security installer.
That's about it! Plus, I spend all of my money on my cars. The only big obligation besides cable. phone, etc, is my mortage payment. So, that helps too.

The only problem is that you would have to spend sooooo much money on a civic, that you might as well just buy one of these and mod them. Plus, there is hardly any way that you could drive a Civic that is that heavily modded every day. And if you look at it that way, why not begin with one of these cars, and mod the heck out of it??
This kinda thing just anoys me a lot. As the old saying goes, "you can polish a turd, but it is still just a turd." I am not saying that a civic is a turd, but no matter what you do to it, it is still a civic.

I see what you are saying, but there is a lot more to a car than how fast you can go in a line. Strap a jet engine on a civic and it will beat anything on the road, does that make it a better car than a v12 vanquish?

you can get a z06 or any of those cars up to impressive stats and still have enough refinement and drivability (dont forget emissions) to actually drive it daily.
