98 buick lesabre
leather, all power, pretty blue, white wall tires (for the extra pimped out old person look ;) ). 34,000 miles, no dents, very clean (matts not warn, no overspray on the radiator (which is evidence of repaint) so on and so fourth) This car is in mind condition. Bought it from an old lady for 7,000 out the door. Its so nice. I am very happy right now.

Bought it from an old lady for 7,000 out the door. Its so nice [for the time being]. I am very happy right now. :D Don't get into more accidents with this one, ok?

Well this car is front wheel drive so it will handle better on slick roads. If I hit something else Ill need to come up with a new excuse. I will try not to hit anything this time... I love this car too much (of course I really loved my truck too).

Good god, you're on the road again! Look, I think the whole slamming into a tree incident was meant as a message to you...

I've only been in one accident; the other party was a suicidal deer. $1900.00 in damages to my car. Destroyed all front lamps, grill, hood, radiator, condenser and wind shield. The worst part; it got up and ran away. :mad: lol

Ha ha, nice. My brother bought some crummy Cadillac — he has delusions of pimping it up and turning it into his “hot rod”. I just want a modest $35,000 Mustang Cobra SVT; nothing big.

Damn, why not shoot for a McLaren LM or F1, or ever a Saleen S7. lol
Also, are not all Vanquish V-12 by standard?

actually, it's called the v12 vanquish, i believe. and i think that F1's are ugly. now a geo metro, THERE'S a car...

I will admit, the Vanquish is beauty on wheels; but has serious lack of control with it being a front engine V-12, sporting over 600 horses, and rear-wheel drive train.

I agree; I'm not too keen on the F1's looks either. I think the Saleen S7, although similar, looks better.

That doesn't sound right considering a Viper GTS is a V-10 and it sports 400 + horses. But I'll be the first to admit when I'm wrong. :)

My ’Stang is better! It’s only thirty-five grand, and it’s got a sexy 390 horse supercharged engine, baby!

:eek: I WAS wrong...
Road and Track -- 450 BHP.
EDIT-- Hmm, the GTS also has 450 BHP with 2 less cyl's. and is only 5 mph slower...

you know what I want? A Jetta with Turbo Diesel. I will drive just as fast in that as anything else. There is really a cap to my speeding in this town, and its call other motorists and the florida highway patrol. Atleast in that car I get insanely good gas mileage. I saw an unmarked maroon colored crown vic pull someone over on a bridge yesterday... the same bridge that I usually warp speed over. This car lives too pull people over, as far as I can tell it is always somewhere on the bride. The highway patrol also has SUVs and for chases camaros. The florida highway patrol are real jerk offs.

Out here we've got un-marked, Jet black 2003-04 Impala's. I like to call them "Stealth Cops". I've noticed one using VG2, KA, and Laser (Thanks to my trusty Valentine :)). When they were first introduced to the area, people were getting nailed left and right.

But a red crown vic... you think its just another granny. Its sooooo evil. We have plain white blazers, and those camaros too. But the camaros are marked atleast. I have seen police trucks here, but they are not for tickets they are for special God knows what stuff. We have cop astro vans too, but those are for CSI and such.

the town just south of ralston bought some dodge intrepids with the flat bar lights, so you're SCREWED if you're trying to look for them at night.

we have a few plain white torises with no markings on them but a little police thing on the door. The lights are on the dash. But I have not seen one of those for a looonnggg time. They might have reitred em.

Surprisingly, there are like no cops around here. A cop could just sit on Rt. 7 and pick up over a dozen guys in a few hours. Where are the cops when you need ’em?!
