One never does grow up

I am 44 and have always owned muscle cars. To me the vette is now an affordable option at my age. Low miles so i know i wont be sinkin tons o money into it. Took a 2002 Vette Z06 for test drive, wicked LS1 puttin out 405hp. But at 78k CDN its a bit to much cash for me. Maybe in 5 more years or so.

Dog out, and havin fun

don't know much about those BMW thingies... Hooligan has a '98 M3 tho and I drove it. It is kinda nice on the inside but complicated. The car is pretty ugly and I couldn't find it in the parking lot. It is also pretty slow and handles funny. Does BMW make a fast, good handling version of their car that doesn't look so bad?

nice vettes tho. I don't think any "stealths" will be walking away from any late 90's on vettes. The only manufacturer that makes a roadster any more is some outfit that is making lotus super 7's. You guys wouldn't know a roadster if it bit ya on the butt.

Lazs, as you know, visual taste is in the eye of the beholder, I find Austin Healy's one of the ugliest cars on the planet, only surpassed by the famous Gremlin....

Nice car Hooli, good year for the M3 as well! You got a M3-2 or M3-4?

comparing a 55 healey and a new BMW's looks is apples and prunes. To compare the prunelike bmw with something not a roadster and more along the same styling cues you would have to go to a 55 Chevy 4 door strippo model in some sort of metalic silver color. the chev would still look a lot nicer of course but it would be not so unfair to the bmw.

after driving my cars hooli and I checked the bmw for plug wires maybe having fallen off or something on the poor bimmer.. no luck.. the dealer checked the car an assured us that it was running fine but had the gaul to say that it was the "hi performance" engine! When we went to get the car we both tried to get into the wrong car a couple of times before finding the right one. If it were mine I would paint it with flames or something to help finding it in some of the larger parking lots.

Isn't it a Red 3 series that the Ambigously Gay Duo drive in that SNL cartoon?

I'm pretty sure it is.
