I have always been a fan of American muscle cars.... sigh.

Used NSX's have popped up in the high 30's around here. Next year they are to receive a major HP boost.

I test drove.....

200 HP sitting in your back pocket. A bit light in the steering. Great ergonomics for the under 5'11" crowd.

If i had the money, i'd do my '67 impala ss all over. New paint, interior and redo the 400 engine. maybe get a new muncie with a shiftkit package and get a new 12 bolt main posi. Also get my old cragar rims re-chromed and get a new set of Mickey Thompson racing profile tires.

Ahhhhhhh the sound of Hooker Headers thru Thrush pipes !
Makes me squeal ! :D
I've had my '67 for about 6 years and it still picks up the girls :2cool:

Complete with the bobbing chiwawa's in the back ! :nod:

My wife wants a new Celica, but it's my turn for a car. lol
no ofensise at all, i like all the generations of the celica

i'd like to have a new one of course :D

I would personally love a Golf 3 GTI 2.0
So softly , so perfect , seemingly sleepingly
But for you , sleep , forever will do
Wish only to fight the urge
Beaten senselessly for your basic need
Sunken eyes around me ,
sunken spirits is what I see
Children , old beyond their day
