Otis Nice

If this is still available when I sell one of my vehicles I'll hit you up. Hope it is. It'd be a HUGE help where I live.

That may be, but he'll die happy and doing what he loves to do. ...except smoking. He wishes he'd quit. Haha. That part made me laugh.

Ah. That makes sense. This is the 3 speed.

Wow. I've heard of a Sherman 4 speed (IIRC, I may be wrong) but never an 8 speed. Especially in a 9n. I don't know as much about them as dad or others though.

I'm not 100% sure on that. All I know is it's a 3 speed.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize everyone on CR had accomplished this. I meant "genius" more-so in the fact that he has made his dream life and loves what he does/where he is AND in the fact that he does what those large companies do in such a way that anyone can with the right knowledge and junk...which he provides. He's working to keep it OUT of their hands. His work, life-style, philosophy, and attitude doesn't appeal to anyone else? Hmmm, maybe it's just me then.

USA! USA! USA! Link

I like them. Not my absolute favorite car of the era but I prefer that body style over most. I must be in the minority though. I like BBC TG but I get tired of seeing nothing but super car test drives that a VAST majority of the population will never be able to afford or tiny eco boxes that most will never want and pretentious attitudes. You know Clarkson holds his pinky out while sipping tea and eating crumpets.

This... ...and this.

Yeah, I'd say so.

Man I want this thing. How hard is it to remove the plow for summer use?

Starts every time. Hydraulics have been redone and work great. Nothing wrong. Used to bush hog, mow, and plow snow. Have a trailer and may be able to deliver for a little more. $1,500 firm. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=641&pictureid=5118 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=641&pictureid=5117 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=641&pictureid=5116 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=641&pictureid=5115

6 lug. 15". 6x5.5 bolt pattern. $200. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=641&pictureid=7355

Final bump. Went on the ol' CL tonight.

Thanks again Brad. Great meeting you. He still has some. Good sized rocks. If you need any hit him up.

I love it. Would drive.

Nice. Congrats man.

I'm intrigued. Best of luck.

Addict.

1) I said it was cool. I simply stated I wouldn't pay $200K to have it sit in my garage merely to "excite me". It isn't worth it...to me. 2) I don't care if other people want to spend that much on a vehicle. It's their hard earned cash. Good for them. Truly. I'm glad others do so I get to see/experience them. 3) My car costs $500, gets ~35 mpg, and gets me to work and back. I AM happy with it. 4) Please never mistake my personal preferences/opinions/thoughts as degrading others. It's just simply my input. It's a public forum where many different people from many different walks of life come together under the common interest of vehicles (and honestly, people) and those interests will vary. Some want a $200K super car. Some want a $5K auto cross car. Some want a truck/SUV. That's what makes CR unique. The vast differences in people. That's why this is the only car forum I'm active on. It IS a cool car. All I was saying is to ME it isn't worth that to go, "wow, that's a cool car and it's in my garage, I hope I get to drive it soon. I hate the rain! ARGH!" every day. I get the wow factor. I get the fact that many of us grew up dreaming to own a car of that caliber someday. My dreams shifted in the process is all. It's not, "I'm right, you're wrong." It's, "I can't see myself paying that and being happy with my decision, ever," vs. "I've worked hard for this my whole life, I can afford it without getting outside of my means and head over heels in debt, and I'm going to treat myself." If you're the latter and have/will have a car like this I applaud that. I don't think that just because I wouldn't that NOBODY should. Again, merely differences, and that's what makes CR a community like no other.

Haha. I'm not even kidding man. I played the, "what if I hit the lotto" game with a friend the other day. My car choices were 2 of the following (one DD, one DD-able toy). DD list: F150 Ecoboost Suburban Excursion (diesel) Toy/fair weather DD List: Buick GN (not GNX) Buick T-Type Syclone Typhoon GTI (used) Focus ST (used) STi (used) ...Tercel with 4efte swap. No joke. I'd really like to have one. One off each list and I'd have more than enough for the work I do and the driving I do. I know I'm forgetting a few, but that's the gist of it. Great read. Thanks for sharing. It's been a bit over a decade since I took Psychology in high school and college. Didn't fully remember this until I read through what you posted. Reminded me of this too. http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/69564000/jpg/_69564888_maslow_meme.jpg

Welcome back.

I see what you're saying but I can't agree that it's a legitimate need. A strong urge to impress others is the reason to get this car. For fun, as you mentioned, is a reason to get this car. It's not a necessity. Diamonds already talked about the fact that many cars can do that for much less. You're right. It's about perspective and desire. The only things I need to survive are air, water, food, and shelter. Then everything else takes priority in varying orders. Family, friends, career, etc. A $200K car may make me happy short term, but it will never be "enough". Jones had fun in his OOOOdi. Bragged often. Now he boasts (rightfully so) about the joy his GTR brings him. I get that. He won't die if he can't have a GTR though. It's not a legitimate need. Many people stay at jobs they hate for a good paycheck. If all you need is happiness, why stay? I agree that with more money comes blurrier lines. I simply said for me I can't fathom spending that much on a car. I may never know that kind of money though so this is all moot. Easy to say from one side of the fence. I can't even fathom spending $20-30K on a DD when there are options out there that would fulfill the purpose, be a blast for me to drive, and cost far less. Just me though man. I'd be happy with another 1992 Tercel.

Please JP, explain to me the need for this car. Ever. Explain how ones existence might cease if this car were not sitting in their garage. Regardless of the spectacles no exotic car is a NEED. Look bruh, I said I get it. It's cool and all (not in a fantasy poverV6 like you described, but yeah). I will never NEED a $200K vehicle like this in my life. If you talk wants, wishes, or desires, then what you're saying makes sense.

Meh. I'd rather own $200K worth of land.
