I like to have options! :D

That list looks unsurprisingly similar to your instrument list!

.. and my stereo is built around a Yamaha RX-930 receiver/AV control centre! :)

... though I designed & built my own speakers...

Yeah I can give you some advice Pony... Unless you are ready to lay down some serious cash for some good MB quarts (i.e 800-1000 dollars) don't waste your time with them. Even the cheaper Bostons blow them out of the water and there are way less warranty issues with them. W7's are nice, but again way overrated, and unless you got the cash for a large amp to drive them, are also a waste of money.

i drive a Nissan Puslar `84, and am working on a BMW 525 `74.
oh and Pony One talking about droping the cluch and beating a 5 series, i'd like to see u beat a BMW M5 at the lights, 0-60 in just over 4.5 second.

I had an M5 when I lived in Germany for a while. 280 Kilometers on the autobahn was great, until I got passed like I was standing still by a motorcycle...

Mwahahahaha! :D

I might as well chime in on this thread even though I ain't got ****. :)

I have a 2000 Ford Escort... shut up.... ;)

I swear, I must have heard the term "It's a nice little car" from the salesperson about 15 goddamn times!! Piss on your nice, little car! It's a total ****heap. Just savin up for that van for the cross country treks when I'm tourin the bars trying to get bigger and better. \m/

Hey Pony, I know what you're talking about with the auto transmission. My mom drives a Mercedes, and it's the same deal, if you floor it off the line, it takes about 10-15 seconds to get up to speed. But, if you ease into the gas, start off with about 1/4 throttle, and gradually increase (you eventually figure out when to floor it), it's got plenty of zip.

My friend just got a 7 series BMW and he has the same deal with his acceleration and the same method works for him.

LOL very nice....

Now all it needs is some Fast and Furious graphics to complete it...

You know what though, now that I come to think of it...
I think Ford at one time either did a Festiva or an Escort, I can't remember but it was some kind of stupidly small car and it had an SVO spoiler on the back. But they built like 20 of these things with Formula One engines in them, and they claimed they could redline at like 16000 RPM and do a 0-60 in 1.9 seconds. Now that sounds kinda iffy to me, but it sure would be fun to come up to a light against one of these asshole in the Corvette who thinks he has something and smoke his ass in a Festiva. If that happened to me I would have to start riding the bus, because I would be too embarrassed to get behind the wheel again...

Pony,

i know what you are saying about the autos, my dad has a BMW 7 series, and it takes a while for it to change. the best auto i have come across was in a nissan skyline '89, a model called the 'passage GT', which ment that its was pretty much a GTSt R32, in the body of a 4 door R21. quite fast, great handling, and everthing else that makes skylines great.

Whoops. I typed in ford escort cosworth gt instead of the rs and got a porn site... damn the bad luck :) LOL

I drive a stunning, white 1995 Dodge Caravan. Single sliding door. With an upside down motor in the driver's side window (thus up goes down and down goes up...sort of like Jim Morrison). Mainly, I look like either a soccer mom or a child molester in a big white minivan. Mothers rush their chihldren inside when they see the "Candy mobile" plowing down the street.

I had to be able to afford the Gibson, you know?

Mine is big, red, and seats about 38 people. If you havent caught on, ITS A BUS!

I borrow my dad's 96 VW Cabrio- although its a chick car, its still good for gettin chicks (the convertible thing), or at least high school chicks...Oh yea, its a stick too.

When my dad's usin that, the only other thing is my mom's 91 Toyota Previa minivan. Its funny as hell burnin people with that because its so old, but its based loosely on a sports car body (engine in the middle of the body). For accelerating, I floor it, to get the revs up, let up on the gas a little, then floor it again. Works like a charm.

By the way, in no way do I condone street racing. I think its a surefire way for people to either a) do some stupid expensive damage to their cars or b) die.
