No matter how modded or pimped out a mini-van is, it'll never attract me


Exception is the R63 which is still not beautiful but tempting

 

You like the rare ones, no ??

^^M6....

My coworker is considering selling his GPW/red AP1.... PERFECT combo I'm looking for too! I don't want to get into debt though. And I don't even talk to the guy much, but now's time to make friends.

 

^ Or an 8-series!

 

That's when BMW's where reaaal BMW's (cough 320i) The 850ci V12 stole my heart foreva!

 

Ehh, too many of those The car I want isn't rare per say, but the way I would option it out is. A white on black 2003 540 loaded in stick. Unfortunately they seem to not exist.

I worked on a 850 Csi not too long ago. Now that is a car I would love to own.

 

I wonder how much one of those goes for today...

 

Sweet. I always loved those.

 

With low mileage, a lot. Thats if you can find one of the 225 that was shipped to North America.

60k I'll keep my little 3 series thank you

 

I would like to get another s2k to go along with my Jeep.

 

I'll buy the Hot Wheels version of it if I find one.

 

+1 If you find it , buy one for me too and send me the bill

 

Sure.... I'm pretty sure they are about $500 or so.

 

The bill will be just fine thank you:

 

God, I would love to have that car! *cries*

 

I actually have one in the depths of one my my closets somewhere

 

E46 M3 when I can find a decent 04-05 for under 30k.

 

ok.. i got it, heres my plan. ima get the 09 a4 when i comes out, own it for only an year or two and get the 2010 tsx. =]

 

you're little 3 series would eat that 850Csi alive.

 

^^I agree but the 850csi is not all about speed in my opinion. It has the drama, the V12 and the looks and the sound. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a very pricey classic in the future.

 

wow that's expensive for that 850csi. for that money i could get a 2008 M3 instead.

 

good luck finding one at sticker.
most dealers are being ass bags and have a 10-20 grand mark ups over sticker
kind of like when the first generation Sti hit. dealers around here were having sticker+ about 10 grand i heard.
i'll admit the M3 and C63 both put down some wicked ass numbers. but i'd wait till 09 when dealers chill out on the whole "I can charge sticker + 10-20 grand "

 

AP1 or AP2?

 

 

Oh?

Really?

 

What happened to the Ariel Atom?

 

Currently it's on EBAY, and it's the only one there I like. One day I'll have one. lol

 

Well first of all, there is no K20 motor for US spec Atoms anymore. Plus I wanted something more practical. The Atom just won't work on Portland's undermaintained roads. Plus there is the safety factor. A lot of idiot drivers out there and I dont want to chance it on public roads. I'd basically need to buy a truck to tow it in a trailer... Thats a lot of money I'd rather not spend.

 

You can still order the Atom without a motor can't you?

 

Yes you can according to a phone call I made.

And if you can find a spare K20, they'll install it too.

 

Are K20s that hard to come by? I mean I know every kid out there with a Civic Hatch wants to put one in his car but still. Is it that difficult?

 

My best buddy just sold his cheap....k20 what?

there's 3 other options depending on your bank account:
#1. B18C1(i think) Integra GS-R motor. this is probably the cheapest of the bunch
#2. B18C5 Integra Type R motor this motor i had in a 91 CRX Si its hella expensive motor a JDM motor with tranny runs about 5-6 grand. you'll dyno about 200 crank hp before you do the first thing to it
#3. If you got crazy bank account and good luck find a RDX that's totalled pull it out of a salvage yard. and pull the engine. you'll dyno about 240 hp no mods done to it. but this route is expensive.

 

The car was perfect with the supercharged colbalt ss motor. I drove it at limerock and the power delivery was not peaky like a k20 it was very linear and strong at any rpm. If I was buying an atom I wouldnt even consider another engine.

 

I really would love to own an Ariel Atom . She says it's not our priority for the moment

 

what size pants does she wear?

 

i think the supercharged SS motor will be like the B18C5 due to the fact Chevy stopped production of the SS and supercharged SS as of 08 model year.
now the hot rod cobalt you can is the sport package which isn't near as "set up" as the SS.

 

You talkin about teh wife?
