pps:

Although the miss's does drive, so i might nick a life here and there.

i want to get a biike again. my bike was stolen in 2002 and i havent had once since. some of my friends are heavily into it and bike 30 miles or more a few times per week. seems like a fun way to lose some poundage.

My wife is a VW fan, I think that's all she'll ever buy. I like that Nissan of yours Pauli. I see a few of those around town once in a while. Looks like a good solid handling car and easy to modify.

Channels is a place where people really like to fight, even more so than here at times .

Asoka is houseboat owned by one of the members there...

let's get back to it though...here's my '99 Chrysler 300M after ramming into someone on the highway doing 60MPH in a snowstorm...a snowplow put his blade down on the side of the road just as we came around a corner of the highway causing a big spray of snowy-mist to momentarily blind me allowing me to plow in to the guy in front of me who had just slammed on his brakes...

the picture really doesn't show the true damage to the car as i had water/snow coming from the CD player by the time i got to the tow shop the next day...man i fucking loved that car and i miss it still to this day, 3 years later

what did you replace it with? i usually go japanese as they turn corners AND hold their value. i was in an accident last summer. was running my dad to university of washington cancer treatment center and we were a bit late. i was trying to merge into the diamond lane as there was a bit of traffic on the i5 at that hr(7 am) and as i was merging i saw a airport shuttle van that was plenty far back well i merged and next thing i know oom dude side swipes me. pulled over the whole drivers side of the 1998 ford expedition was taken out. i KNOW dude sped up s i merged asshat drivers do that. but of course everyone in their van said it was my fault(prob didn't wanna miss their flight) so we got the $200+ ticket. will post pics later. as i said my integra was totaled too but i wasn't driving or even in the car when it happened. actually selling the last bit of that car i have left on ebay..the pioneer cd player/deck i bought for it. payed 300 for it 6 years ago..if im lucky i'll get 85 for it now.

handles perfect, being rwd its alot more fun throwing it into bends/roundabouts, in the states i think theyre called 240sx & they dont come standard with turbos, im not 100% about that though, 200sx is the no1 car if your into drifting, im a big fan of the newer s15 models, but theyr'e not sold in the uk only imported models

i want a wrx sti in the worst way as its the perfect car for me. but dont have 30k to spend. may drop $10k on a infinity g35 do you have those in the uk? its basically a 350z..same chassis and such.

id like to get my alcoholic neighbor drunk enough to have her let me take her car for a spin. shes got an 08 or so porsche 911 turbo and what i think is a 70-71 camaro ss with ATLEAST 550-600 under the hood.

My first car was a 1978 Ford Thunderbird. That thing was a tank. On the good side, I was able to fit a 4' bong in there. We used to take my car out for lunch break during high school.

well i drove that little MR2 around for 9 months until winter looked eminent all the while looking at basically everything on the planet but yes, i finally decided on another Japanese car...

had it for about 2 1/2 years now with absolutely no problems - save for the accelerator
