Well I'm glad you are listening Phil. However, IIRC I told you to upgrade the S2000 and keep the rest the same. It seems to me that you don't listen too well.
thats what I mean about peer pressure. telling me the S2000 is OK but it's no GT3

If it was just me I'd have a nice stable of cars.

It's an illness. I'm poor plus my wife has put a damper on my impulsiveness, so I've only had the following:

1988 Chevy pickup (1st car)
1995 Jeep Wrangler
1996 Nissan Maxima
2000 Mustang GT conv.
1997 BMW M3
2000 Chevy Tahoe
2004 VW GTI
2002 Nissan Pathfinder
1989 BMW 325i (Spec E30)
2006 WRX
2009 Wrangler Unlimited (wifes)


The Mustang, M3, and GTI were my favorites. I'm loving the E30 now. Very fun car to tool around in..
