krikey! is there any toy on my highly-lusted-after list you don't have!!!

Well you just have to stop going to school and start working ...:D Granted the car is sweet but it is a big waste of money for someone like me who isn't a car nut and where I live the cops are just waiting to nail you for speeding. I'd love to restore an old one tho.

DoctorIt · February 1, 2006

David, you are right, this thread's scope has indeed expanded and therefore I should point out, you forgot

Part three:

I bet DannyB he can't make a witty post without an emoticon and when he loses he has to send me some of granny's primo vintage Nikkor glass.

You know what, you send it on over to me and I'll love it like the child I don't have! Don't worry, you can have my seriously speed challenged truck AND I'll help you with the vintage restore! I know, I know, I'm too nice.

This thread is really taking off now. I can't wait to see where it goes next.

Unfortunately, I think eBay has a rule

about not posting human beings in an auction. Still, might be worth a go. Worst that would happen is that someone might complain and it would get pulled. You might even get showcased on Leno's Did it sell, or didn't it? I know you've got enough shots of him already, and with the paypal account already established, I think you're good to go.

DanielB · February 1, 2006

headin to bed, the insults will have to wait until i get back from school tomorrow.

They sell human souls on ebay all the time like this one

Ondysans, you haven't taken any philosophy courses in college yet, have you? EBay can only police auctions that include tangible items. People are tangible. Souls are intangible. At least in this existance.

If there is an eBay in heaven, then those rulz are probably reversed. I dearly hope eBay has not established a presence there. If they haven't, Google surely has already. Do no evil.

Hmmm..... Me thinks the kid should get a car suitable for his driving ability.

While andy should have a car worthy of his teaching talent, wisdom, and great sense of style.

I can't find the right pic.... But I'm thinking, a pink volkswagon beetle. Oh Well this is the the only one I've found so far but you'll get the idea.

The new body style though as it is more feminine.

System · February 2, 2006

Nah he needs one of these

best part is he actually wanted one a few years ago

This would also satisify his ragtop requirement

dragon300zx · February 2, 2006

A domestic. Blech. Makes me sick to my stomach (my domestic is a misery van for haulin stuff and road trips only). Nah the cars I want are wanted for very specif reasons, and none are american.

1995 TT RX7 to start playing with drifting in.
1996 Nissan Skyline GT-R for general racing fun.
1995 Nissan 300ZXTT as my daily, put the civic's in their place, driver.

Seeing as the GT-R will be harder to come buy in this country, a subbie wrx sti would suffice for now.

David_S85 · February 2, 2006

Nosasynd, it's 1am where you're at. Shouldn't you be sleeping before the big test tomorrow, or at a party or somethin?

Good work.

But when you get your binky out of your mouth this morning, please read up. The McLaren SLR is NOT a concept car. My dad has already delivered 2 to wealthy Boston "business" men. While not a concept, it is insane. Upon delivery, the service manager (who is one of 2 people for hundreds of miles qualified to even look at this car) hands you a business card with his direct line at work, his cellphone, his pager, and his home phone. He then informs you that if anything goes wrong with the car anywhere, call him and only him, doesn't matter what time or in the middle of what desert, do not let anyone else touch the car! It's basically a street legal F1 car. An oil change is billed for 24 hours of labor as it requires the engine to be dropped a bit from the monocoque chassis. Rich doesn't even begin to describe these clients.

Nope, you got me there. But I'd have to guess the one in the background is your beloved 325ix.

System · February 2, 2006

yep the 325ix. The white supercar with the blue stripes is the Ford GT. I'm not a big fan
