what\'s going to be your next whip? (ride)

[clips]

i\'ve been on auto trader for the past couple of hours and even tho i just purchased the lex last year..i\'m already thinkin\' about my next whip. Don\'t get me wrong as i\'am highly impressed with the sc400..it handles like a wet dream..great power..speed & comfort..i loved my previous vehicle 92 max..but it never handled like the lex..i can lean into sharpe turns with no-body role! i would have understeer galore with the max.

that said i\'ve been lookin\' at the 97 sc400 yea after i get rid of this one i\'m seriously thinkin about gettin another one..i was also lookin at the late model supras..but damn some cats want like 52-65 thou..for them! i love the supras but i don\'t think they\'re worth that much even if they don\'t make them over here anymore. even the ones that were like 18-25 thou..they had crazy miles on them like 150 & up..crazy..i still want one tho.

last car i was lookin at was the infinitdog g35..i\'am in love with this too..i\'m talkin about the coupe..sadly 32-37 thou. is not in my budget right now..the car has the same drivetrain as the 350z i think..i like both cars but if given a choice i\'ll probably take the g35.

anyway it\'s most likely that i\'ll pick up another lex when i\'m done with this current one..the wifey stated she wanted a truck so looks like a used tahoe or an expedition is in the future.

so i just wanted to know from you guys what you plan on buying next..i know there are a few young cats in here that haven\'t bought anything yet..i would also like to know what you have in mind..comments?.....

I\'m selling my Honda Accord before I head off to Notre Dame... It has more sentimental value then actual monetary worth... I\'m hoping that if not after my freshman year, but my senior year, that I will have a Jetta or a new Accord.

I\'m hoping my maxima will last until I can afford a G35.  So that will be about 26 years.

Funny that you mention Sc400 and supra in the same story. Why not do this....... its good..really


Get a SC300 instead. Get a supra 6spd tranny from the boneyard. Boost the livin love out of it...and be happy. I have a very nice of the capabilities vs 2 11 sec rx7\'s and a hennessy viper 500. It\'s called lexus catch up....they all get the jump and finally buddy in the SC jumps on them, and catches them all.


As for topic.... I kinda wanna do a 98 240sx again or possibly the SRT motor in a 1st gen 2dr. Make her about 2200lbs with driver and about 375hp..im a happy camper in a street car. I think i have enough toy cars though and need something more cushy/refined and practical.

you would get along perfect with my man that\'s into cars...he has this souped up mustang..i can\'t give you the specs on it but it has the small tires on the front & huge tires on the back..and it sounds like a dragster..it\'s not even street legal anymore..all he does is take it down to the track...i mean this thing is completely tricked out.

he just bought a rx-8 and already he put an exhaust on it..he said it still wasn\'t fast enough..i rode in it about a week ago..and trust,..that thing is quick as hell from the jump..me personally i would just mack the way it is..but he insists it\'s not fast enough

WHat ever happened to buying a car and just driving it?

This would look good on the SC....

personally i have no plans on changing my car in the next 5-6 years instead what i will do is try and modify the crap out of it.

but if i really was to get a new car i would definately go for a lumina SS coupe\' damn this is such a sweet car .

Sometimes I wonder if I will change cars in about 2-3 years.  It\'s hard to predict whether I will feel the need to make a change.

If it do, it might be for a C6 Corvette or an NSX.  

For now I am happy with improving my S2000.  I\'m planning to change the wheels in the next two months.

I love my 97 T-Bird and have no plans on selling it anytime soon. But if I go to college in Vermont like I want to, I may garage it and buy a Jeep to get through the snow and stuff. Nothing fancy, just a 4x4 that can get through snow and whatever. But I\'m not planning on selling my T-bird for a long time.

bro all i can say is keep on modding yer S2000, coz they really are capable of aliot.
just today i went to a car meet and their was this awesome looking yellow s2000. now the body in it self was amazing(carbon fibre galore) but when he popped opent the hood :eek: Vortech charger u should\'ve heard the car spool during a gear shift.

Hrrrummph.  I\'m an NA purist when it comes to Hondas.  

Besides when you install a supercharger in this car, it\'s usually wise to replace the clutch, pressure plate, and even the differential at the same time.  The rest of the stock drive train wasn\'t designed to support that much power.  This makes the whole project incredibly expensive.  The supercharger kit alone is about $5,500, and I think you could spend upwards of $8,000 upgrading everything.

I am thinking of getting an SVT Lightning - they are on sale and I still have another D plan I can use.  I can even go to Lowes to pick up stuff with it

we do buy cars and just drive them. we might add other shit to them..but we do drive them..and often.

I plan on driving my 88 Camry until it dies, then I don\'t know what I\'d get.

Hopefully some light, rear-wheel drive, 4-banger to toss around.
