[leeindy]

ha

ha.

Wanna race? I'll go all kevo on yer ass!

Yeah man Any race any time.




As long as its a drag race within a mile of my house so when my 400rwh throw a rod I can walk home. But any race any time.

Sorry, just try to keep people from making the same mistakes I did.

If you ever need a review on a car, I'm the one to ask. I've driven just about every respectable car available. I'm tight with the dealers and can test drive anything I want by myself, so I get a chance to drive them how they're meant to be driven.

[leeindy]

Okay let's switch gears here. What car would you buy inside these specs
2007 or newer
Less than 30k miles
8 cylinders or be a well apointented 6. ( leaving room for porsche and the like. Not a camarro. )
Fairly common on cars.com for under 40 thousand.

I'm starting to think keep my truck and get another bike

[Mike_Levy]

Infiniti M56S in a heartbeat. Not common, but available. Brand new in 2011, $70k car loaded, but really not holding their value at all. I found several in the low $40s in August, so by now they should be around $40k or even under.

If they offered AWD with the Sport Package, thats what I'd be driving right now. But since they don't and I would have to get RWD, there was no way I was taking the 136hp hit for the same price.

Yuck. Re-badged Nissans? really?

leeindy, what about the new 300C?

[Mike_Levy]

The M has its own platform. The G is the rebadged Nissan. The M56 is really a good drive. Extremely similar to the E39 5 Series, except a bit tail happy. Don't knock it 'til you drive it. Its only real negative it that it looks like a fish.

Hyundai Genesis. 5.0. 8 Speed auto.

[Mike_Levy]

Ugh. Awful driver. Totally numb, slower then it should be, horrible handler.

[mikel]

that bad?
I've driven the coupe, its sharp on its feet, I figured the sedan would be close.

leeindy, check this thing out:

I been pimping it to anyone I know shopping for a car, id buy it tomorrow if I could afford it

[Mike_Levy]

The coupe and sedan are totally different cars, even on different platforms. Not even close to each other. The coupe should have carried on the Tiburon name and not been called Genesis. Genesis was supposed to be Hyundais upmarket division, akin to Infiniti and Lexus, but they decided against it for some reason.

i watched some stuff on the new srt from chrysler. love that new srt8 300c. but i would probably spring for the AWD 300s with the 5.7. but all this i mute cause i gave up on getting a car and bought myself another motorcycle this weekend.

[Mike_Levy]

Have a death wish?

[leeindy]

ive been racing bikes for years. took a leave of absence when i sold my last track bike before going overseas for awhile. not sure where you are but the traffic here is not big city. and alot of rural areas. bikes are dangerous and ive seen people get hurt but same can be said for a car. im not the tshirt and flipflop guy. im the guy wearing more gear than the bike is worth.

[Mike_Levy]

I'm in NYC, and here if you fuck up on a bike, you're roadkill, regardless of how much gear you're wearing. Actually, you don't even have to fuck up. Just get in the way and you're dead.

[leeindy]

Agreed. I would never ride threw Atlanta. And I avoid city traffic like the plague
