Every German car should come with a keg of beer, just like some Italian car dealers give you a case of wine with the sale!

Jim,
I want to see those pics close up. Got any more pics? Those are some hot cars. This is my first P car and I've always wanted one but I can't afford $160K on a 911 which means my only choice for a convertible was a boxster.
The boxster is a great car, reliable, handles well, fun to drive, blah, blah, blah but at the end of the day, it looks like an overgrown Miata.
When the new 981 came out, I was sold. So far I love it... can't wait to hit the track with it.
Post some pics or send them to my email. orangecrush03@gmail.com
Thanks,
Mark

Re: What other toys do you have?
I just found these, from a few years back when I had the new 09, and was a "bit" more into the chrome lol..
and did I actually have a Chevy Volt in the garage! wft was I thinking?
I was just also thinking too. I've been through a lot of cars but the one that's most consistent is the Hummer. Weird, it's always the least one I drive. but the one I like the most. It's really kinda nice even just seeing it sitting in the garage...

The BMW is tastefully done, I love the supercharger and the interior looks great... nice job!!
I'll bet it's a blast to drive.

Thanks for the response. It may not be your cup of tea but I feel it is very well put together. A combination of leather and suede is commonly used on interiors. The quilted piece is a hand sewn leather diamond stitch drape for the sides of the console and the skulls are the Jake Skulls for Corvette Racing. Carbon Fiber is also used quite often but I didn't want to go with the traditional piano black look, that's why it's silver carbon fiber to change it up a bit. And yes, the M is a blast to drive, like a go cart. Thanks Again!!!

No, not my cup of tea but nonetheless, nicely done... definitely quality work.
We can't please everyone and all you need to please is yourself.
Keep up the good work.

No...just a regular turbo; but I put the GMPD LNF Turbo upgrade package, catback and CAI on it. It was supposed to push 290hp with just the LNF, so I figure I prolly got another 10 out of the exhaust and CAI.
It's not every day that you get 300hps out of a 2.0 liter...

Agreed...too bad the Kappa line died with Pontiac and Saturn. Fun little cars! But ZERO trunk space. LOL!

I do sometimes miss my 350hp 2.0l WRX wagon. It was so much fun to blow past Corvettes on the track with a station wagon. Plus I could carry a full set of track wheels/tires in the back!

I always said that if I had to buy a foreign car it would be a Subaru WRX. They sound so sweet for a 4 banger...and the AWD; well, that just seals the deal in my book.
I still wish we had the Eagles though...they were in that domestic niche market that Subaru eventually gobbled up...

Re: What other toys do you have?
Hey folks, here's a few of my toys
Show:
And go:
After retiring the yellow X from racing, put together this:
Also, the newest toy...
Unfortunately, some arsewipe totaled it after a month..
Probably the best seats I ever sat in. Will get another when they come out with the 6spd flappy paddle

Re: What other toys do you have?
Thought you may enjoy this one. If I get tired of towing one I'll just switch places and tow the other. Not really, but probably could.
