Duke's got a Z06, some guy just bought a Viper. BigT's thinking about an e90 M3 and I want a 911 twin turbo. Some poor kids got e46 M3s recently, I hope they don't park next to me...

So who else is blingin' it up recently? I'm not going to be the only one homeless w/a supercar am I?

Plebeians.



They don't even have over 400 hp. Shameful.

I've got an '80s whip. We can race for dome.

2/13/2011 9:50:15 PM

Screw that, I'll step it down.

TWW needs a hit and miss engine thread.

2/13/2011 9:50:26 PM

by the way. I gave a guy in a convertible M6 a thumbs down the other day without any provocation. I was at a light in Cary and I was riding shotty in a Scion. Yeah it was completely immature but he acted completely butthurt after that and I was greatly entertained.

Those are still legal? I'm getting nervous thinking about a car that... old.

2/13/2011 9:53:50 PM

The general socio economic status of the garage in increasing for sure. It would happen naturally. I mean Specter is shopping 08 STIs and H8R is going to be looking in the same price bracket. Two 335i drivers etc...

Someone has to get a Turbo. Maybe I'll join you. Or maybe you should get a GT3!

2/13/2011 9:54:19 PM

Maybe I'll get an R35 GT-R some day, as a replacement for my Q45.

2/13/2011 9:56:03 PM

Status? I'm pretty sure that option package expires ~3 years after manufacture on any regular 3 series (what little they had to begin with). :/

Nissans don't have status, sorry.

2/13/2011 10:00:16 PM

I'm probably going to be buying my cousins 850CSi, so not as much money as some of you all but i think they were pretty cool in their day. Has a Koenig supercharger so it's definitely in the 400+ HP club.

If I decide against the 850 i'm also looking at an '01 740i sport w/ nav that I want for a possible 6-speed conversion

2/13/2011 10:28:29 PM

Fuck you guys, my S2000 ain't good enough?

im waiting for 996TTs to come down to low 30s. im just a jew when it comes to cars...i love high mileage cars and inherent lack of worries that comes with not spending too much on the vehicle.

2/13/2011 11:16:23 PM

Funk you faggots. 97 civic hatch. Stock. Red in color. As good as it gets.

What's the point of a bling car? I can't go offload with them. My RS makes me happay!!!

2/14/2011 12:12:56 AM

I've got an '08 Prelude Type R coupe that I've had for 5 yrs

2/14/2011 12:48:59 AM

Ummm...bad math, ray

2/14/2011 12:53:32 AM

2/14/2011 12:56:19 AM

What's an "e30"?

I don't think any Honda's belongs here fellas. If it doesn't top out at more than 175...

ummmm you should do some research. it's possible now.

I recently bought a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. How's that for stepping it up?

searched everywhere and i dont see any. can you post some in low 30s?
lowest ive seen was $33900 on ebay with 92k miles, which is not really low 30s and miles are high, possibly with some body work done.

im not looking for salvage title either.

2/14/2011 12:51:10 PM

I bought my truck new- in 2002

Yeah, and while we're at it someone finnd me a 2003 911 Carrera 2 in good shape with decent mileage for less than $24,000. B/c I'm not seeing that either.

2/14/2011 1:45:31 PM

Sorry fellas, they're hard to find. I, like Ahmet do not give up my sources easily...especially if I'm potentially shopping for one.

Also, when I say low 30s I mean that the asking is around ~35 and I assume they will come down a couple thousand.

[Edited on February 14, 2011 at 2:04 PM. Reason : ]

2/14/2011 2:03:39 PM

^^ This is funny because you should have bought Ahmet's last one.

2/14/2011 2:15:53 PM

Yeah...Timing wasn't right. Won't be really looking seriously till the fall in all likelyhood. And I want black.

2/14/2011 3:13:39 PM

My point is they exist. Just because I can't run off and show everyone 5 listings of what I'm talking about doesn't mean they can't mean found. If you have patience and know where to look the market is right.

2/14/2011 3:19:07 PM

I dont really care for all this 'cool car' stuff.


Give me a thread about people who build their stuff from scratch. and race it.

2/14/2011 4:23:09 PM

^ I'm with stupid.


Maybe we should start a WT Fab Racing thread to compile our exploits, and hopefully about when may rolls around I might be able to bump the MJ build thread.

2/14/2011 4:35:55 PM

i'll let you guys know when i get another cool car but that won't be for a couple years.

2/14/2011 4:53:11 PM

35-38 ones are ragged out with aftermarket bumpers, chrome wheels or autotragics. ive searche cars.com, autotrader, ebay, all related online forums, roundel, porsche online publications, dupont registry, nation wide craigslist....etc. i know them all. hell i bought a perfectly running M5 for $8k last year. you still cant find any for that price THIS year.

i was thinking more along the lines them asking for '01-02 996TT, with 40-80k, clean title for $32. this criteria is now $38-50k depending on options/condition/miles.

2/14/2011 5:08:50 PM

I know of one that has 70k on the clock, never modded, clean title, asking 35.8k

Exactly!

But after you figure out that buying one is a shit ton easier/cheaper/lot less headache. Then you tend to steer off the market for building things. But that doesn't mean a jigga ain't gonna fabricate something. Lol

2/14/2011 6:34:04 PM

^this.

I don't have anything against innovative solutions, but there's something to be said for factory set ups w/super high performance. Also, a 911 turbo w/more than 60k miles is ridiculously hard to sell...

I guess there's a time & place for everything in the gayrage.... but bench-racing stinks. I'll be sure that the die-hard fab guys get repped.

2/14/2011 6:49:43 PM

I don't get this bench racing.

Please explain.

How does it pertain us? I don't think anyone in here is really "bench racing" since most of us (Or really a limited few) have actually built a project from ground up. And a lot don't really do it again.

I'm 100% down for buying a project car that needs this or that to make it run. But I'm not dropping 20k into a car that I can get for a fraction of the price.

I would love to do it if money grew on trees. But it doesn't. It doesn't make sense to build a car that takes in 50k or your incOme and hundred of man hours when,like ive said, you can find one for a fraction.

Again, if I could find the parts to build it at a realllllyyyyyy cheappppp price. Then let's roll.

If not, you're a fool for dropping money on something that will gain you nothing. Again.

2/14/2011 9:05:05 PM

If I ever do a big build from the ground up again it will be a long time. I'd probably just buy a newer and nicer car and do bolt ons.

2/14/2011 9:21:13 PM

Yes, hence this thread. Now, TWW STEP IT UP!

OK, if you own a house, this thread is not for you. It's for those people who have their priorities straight. If the car's financed and never sees track all the better...

2/14/2011 9:23:07 PM

fuck a house. at least when I buy a car I'm not deluding myself into thinking it is a good investment

2/14/2011 9:26:20 PM

We just dont care about the standard argument/discussion of sports cars that carries on without end in the garage. No offense to anyone, but it's like a shitty episode of top gear to me.

most or a few? this is the shit i'm getting at. I dont care if you dont want to do it again, and I dont care if you dont have the money.

hey man, we're all here to go faster, be quicker, and lay down more power - and it's not an investment.

Well shit! Let me blow my money on a car I can't and don't want to afford. Lol

I'm sure the bank would approve.

I have the money. Or I can probably get the money to build the most powerful POS on the east coast. But I, and anyone else, would be stupid to do so. (unless it made me $ in return)
