While my tank was cycling (before I had anything you didn't need press your face up against the glass to see) I would go to work and be like, OMG guess what I found in my tank last night...a bristle worm!!!, and the girls would look at me like I was nuts

I thought it was cool

Sorry had to jump on this....Please don't compare a Front Wheel drive Oldsmobile to any rear wheel drive sport sedan like a 545i.

FWD and RWD feel nothing alike, there never has been nor ever will be a FWD sports car. Its ok to like your car, but that is a terrible comparison.

I just have one question, have you EVER driven an Evo?
I'd still take a vette over an import any day.

He was asking about how my car rode. I perhaps used the wrong terms. I have no illusions about what the car can do. I meant to say the car's stiffness and feel over bumps and around turns (at a less speed sure, but that's not the point) feels like a 545i. Last time I checked, a 545i or the like hasn't powered a supercar (the Shelby Series 1) and won Indy 5 straight years and dominate Ferrari in ISMA GT-1.

Nicely said!

There was a buick that had a supercharger what was it, Le Sabre I think man I don't remember, that was fun to drive, my grandpa's lincoln has a 4.6L with dual exhausts, and it does squat when you hit the gas, it was pretty fun to drive for a 2 ton car.
I believe the buick you are talking about is the grand national I could be wrong but I know they cam with turbo's.I have to agree the hatch back are faster then the others because of weight.The faster mustand 5.0 were the hatch back LX's not the GT models.
My girl friend $crews with me all the time when I am on the coputer what are you on swf again.She says I am a addict

I plan to buy a new car mid 08...Either the EVO X, G-35, or Pontiac G-8 when it comes out....may look at the SRT-8 Charger also (gas guzzler though)...The Evo to me is a work of art, the new Evo is the front runner right now even though the new one is heavier and a little slower, it will still be a great car I have no doubt....I like that it has great safty features too for this year....Yes I would take a Vette over anything short of an "exotic" as well.

That's a hobby??? If napping and scratching yourself are also hobbies then I'm quite the multi-tasker.

I havent watched TV in many years. (I watch movies but I never watch any regular tv or cable tv) tvs suck the time right out of your life. people tell me they only got to watch two of their shows because their other half had to watch one of theirs.... so you spent 3 hours in front of the TV.... cant learn much that way (with a few exceptions like the history channel and nature shows) 3 hours of lame prefab jokes and commercials. wow. if any of my tv watching friends were to crack jokes about my hobbies I would just crack jokes back about how much dumber they were getting for watching mass media crap. hack who really wants to watch a half hour of commercials for every half hour of program..... wow sorry for the tv rant. I guess I really dont like tv.
Yeah...over 50 pets...what happened to those hissing coch roaches i asked you about?

My dad is really cool about my hobby! He has a 20,000 gallon Koi pond in his backyard and I picked on him saying "Dad get A POOL!" He loves that I am into the fish thing! He wants to start a saltwater but is too busy with his pond so he lives vicariously (bad spelling) through me! The rest of my family thinks I'm nuts! "You spent how much for that fish! and it could die tomorrow!" but hey... my aunt spends $1000's on bingo, my grandmother is addicted to ---- and ALL my friends spend a $900 on a pageant dress for there 5 year old to wear on stage for a few minutes (I know this because I am their pageant designer

Everyone has a hobby and they are ALL expensive if you really get into them!
