mines blue but..im not picky about a nice car. I just want something that gets me where i need to go and has good gas mileage. My monthly bill...30 bucks..it went 2 weeks without filling and that was when i had to take a 15-20 minute drive to school every day, now its only 5-10. cant really remember the last time i filled up.

and my parents got it for me :D (used).

The bonneville is mine and the caddy is my moms.  Pimping the caddy every so often is a good feeling.  And yes those are the actually colors, I put effort into this ladies and gents.

bah..  i stil win.  S2000\'s blow monkey nuts.  My car is just as quick, but I\'d much rather be in my car going 100+ than an S2000.  Shit I\'ve gone 110 in it and it\'s like you are going freaking 60.  Low noise and so smooth you can drive with your knee eating a sandwhich.

THe S2000 is barely faster and it\'s a freaking 2 seater that is loud as shit over 80 miles an hour.  Believe me.  I\'ve gone 120 in one and you couldn\'t hear yourself think.  It\'s also not nearly as comfortable a ride at high speeds either.

And Logan would have to sit in the trunk and I don\'t think the Department of Children and Families would appreciate that.

I agreed with you on ride qulaity.  You can\'t beat BMW for the same price if you want all out luxury + driving experience.  The s2k just offers the latter, for $10g\'s more.  That\'s why it\'s more fun to drive, faster in a straight line, and faster around a track.  And it\'s loud because it\'s supposed to be; it\'s a roadster.

Ok shockwave i have to admit they dont make them like they used to. My mother had 1964 Ford galaxy 500 4 dr.She was a tank but i gotta tell you, you could not kill that car, no matter what you threw at it. I think my moms only complaint was you could not keep a exhaust on it, dual exhaust and the motor kept blowing them right off the car.

WTF is all this?  Someone actually posted a thread I would have to reply to.  Hmmm.  :)

Vid, you\'re comparing a family sedan to a sports car, and you decided the family sedan is better?  Surprise surprise.  Of course I would expect that considering you have a family and I do not.  

The S2000 is loud at high speed because it\'s a convertible, and all you have between your head and the outside airflow is a layer of vinyl top.  Noise reduction is not a high priority because it adds weight.  Naturally it\'s not as comfortable as a BMW sedan.  It\'s a freaking sports car.  Next time I need an apples to oranges comparison, I\'ll be sure to PM you.  :laughing:

BTW I have  installed a new exhaust since this picture was taken.

I completely agree.  I never meant to do a comparison of the two.  I may as well compare my car to an Excursion.  

I just don\'t like the feel of the small sports car at high speeds compared to my car.  My car just feels safer.  No biggie.

I\'d still blow a load all over your car if someone gave me one.

:op:

It\'s perty.....

My car isn\'t too bad at high speeds. I have crappy tires so they vibrate past 90 but whatever. It just coasts past 100 and just flies without a problem. My T-bird is the best handling car I\'ve ever driven.
