Really, Dan, it's time to cash out the Diablo and sink the $$$ into the Skylark.

Seriously, I think it would very easy to build the Buick into a great sportscar. Just swap out the engine, tranny, chassis, body, interior, wheels, tires and electronics with F360 parts.

Best plan so far. Then he could use it for things like doing donuts in the snow and stuff.

screw you guys

I think I may have found away to justify the expense, well at least in my eyes.

I just got 2 credit cards with 0%, one for a year, one for one and half years . And yes, I can pay the bill incash today, but a 1 and 1 1/2 free loan makes the hit a lil better. Also, I was planning on gettin outta my apt and renting a home. Only now instead of in Carmel with a huge home for lik 2500/month Ill rent a smaller one in Fishers for like 1100-1500 and get a roomie or two, or three to cover most of the cost. I would have done the same with the Carmel home, just wouldnt have covered as much.

Then Ill drive the NSX more and drop insurance when Im not usuing it to save money

In the time I have the 0% if something else goes wrong, its on the auction block, if it makes the 1 1/2 years Ill keep it, and add a CS then at likely 20k less than they are now

btw, the dealer wants 190k for that CS with 18k miles ahhahahhaha
I should call and tell him to give me a call when hes ready to drop it 30k with those miles and the F430S around the corner

As for a Lotus, I DO REALLY want one, but it would be an addition, not a replacment to the Diablo, possibly the NSX, but the NSX has nover done me any wrong to deserve the axe

Any of the above would likley have you grounded to your room pretty much full time, thus no borrowing the car keys.

Dan,

I know how you are when it comes to yellow cars, but Giallo Modena just doesnt look right IMO.

Do TDF Blue with a Rosso interior.

I have NO interest in a F430, especially a spider

thanks webby, I knew about the 190k price, no way in hell am I paying within 30k of that!!
Its a 160k car at best with those miles and no stripe. And with the 430S around the corner people will be movin outta them soon.
Ill make him an offer, but I expect he'll turn in down

car for car PLUS he throws in a new set of tires, all maintance needed and $10k

and TDF is the color I want, Ferrari yellow is a flat yellow, not metalic. Yellow is awesome one wedge shapped cars, on rounded ones it dark blue for me

the stripe is for fags
and people dumb enough to pay Ferrari $6+ for a peice of vinyl sticker

thankfully for me Im not an idiot like most Ferrari owners and I dont want one, let the Ferrari Fags pay 10k more for a sticker.

For my interests in buying it, it just means the car is worth less

Ferrari fags, eh?

Does that mean your a soon to be/wannabe fag?
