     fat pig of a car, 

    One would think so, but really it's not. You're welcome to take it for a spin sometime, if you've not driven one. I'll trade you: you can drive my car, I just want a ride in yours.

    For comparison:

    Chevy SS 4000lbs,  50/50 weight distribution

    Ford Mustang GT 5.0 3700lbs, 53/47 weight distribution

    Dodge Charger SRT 392 4400lbs, 54/46 weight distribution

    BMW M3 3600lbs, 50/50 weight distribution

    Audi S4 3900lbs, 55/45 weight distribution

     

    And some more interesting comparisons:

  2. I read all the hype of this car being the best four door sports sedan since the legendary E39 M5, and I watched all the video reviews of people praising its manners and its ability to be completely ridiculous, yet I was truly not prepared for just how fun this car would be. I've have a few fast cars, but not this fast. I've had a few cars that handled well, but not this well. I've had a few cars that have turned heads, but again I was not prepared for the attention this car receives. People point. People take pictures of it when I'm filling up with gas(which happens often). I've even had two people turn around to follow me so they could look at the car. I do not understand why these aren't selling like hotcakes! How does a car like this sit at on a dealership's lot for seven months and not get purchased? If you are in the market for a mid sized four door car, yet still want an absolute blast of a car to drive, this is as good as it gets in its price range.

    No offense intended Quinn, but I never understood people's infatuation with famous people.

    Why is this ANY more important than news of ANY person being struck by a car while bicycling?

     

    Honestly, I'd be far more concerned if I learned that you were the victim.

     

    This is the way I normally feel as well. But...

    I'll never forget July 2000, the first and only time I've been to Mid Ohio, and this guy called The Kentucky Kid whom everyone was talking about. I remember he won a truck after a race, then was signing autographs. I didn't know him, or even of him, but my friend did, so we waited in line. A long line! It was almost dark by the time we got up to him, and all I really remember was his smile. Shaking hands, signing whatever you had, smiling, and that accent. He had more than talent, he had charisma. I immediately became a fan, although I didn't get his autograph. I truly feel sorry for his family, friends, and fans. Nicky was a good guy, despite being a superstar.

  4. "Text now" free app on Andriod or Apple(I think), pick your own area code, it chooses the rest of the number, use it in situations like this, turn it on and off on demand. Almost no one has my "real" phone number.

    You're welcome.

  5. I get these every year for work, but always end up just wearing my Redwing boots.

    Two pairs, NIB.

    Wolverine 6" Steel Toe Work boots. Black, size 12, medium width. Model# W02420.

    Retail is around $140, cheapest I could find online(Amazon) is around $115.

    OR price is $60 per pair, picked up in the Columbus Ohio area.

    If you want them shipped, you pay actual shipping charges.

    Text is the easiest way to reach me.

    Thanks!

  6. I purchased this pistol new a few years ago, it's like new, approx 100 rounds through it, cleaned and stored. Never carried. All "M" gear included.

    One 13 round magazine, three 9 round magazines.
