  1. I'm not trying to say the back seats in the GT-R are optimal by any means..... But I OFTEN take the car out with my 10 year old, 8 year old, and 7 year old all with me. (One up front and two in the back) When I had the stock front seats in the car, it was very easy for them to get in and out of the back. Ofcoarse, thinking back to when each of them was 5... it was a struggle to get them seated in the back of any car no matter what it was. Even plenty of headroom for the kiddos to wear a helmet in the rear
  2. Since we are now linking $70k cars, I must toss out the obligatory GT-R reco http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/2015-Nissan-GT-R-Black-Edition-10-640x426.jpg *flame suit on

  4. Most of the named above would kind of be the same problem, no? I know them feels. SEE JONES! I told you I wasn't the only one! How this episode is playing out in my head: Tilley: Roger, I have a problem... Roger the Car Salesman: Yes? Tilley: I've been in Columbus for three months now. I have money, I have taste. But I'm not on anybody's "A" list, and Saturday night is the loneliest night for the week for me. Roger the Car Salesman: Well, an Audi would certainly change that. Tilley: Perhaps, Mmmm. But, you know, this is the one. Yes, yes yes... I saw three of these parked outside the local Starbucks this morning, which tells me only one thing. There's too many self-Indulgent wieners in this city with too much bloody money! Now, if I was driving a 997TT... Roger the Car Salesman: You would not be a self-indulgent wiener, sir... You'd be a connoisseur. Tilley: Precisely. Champagne would fall from the heavens. Doors would open. Velvet ropes would part. http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/12-12-2014/Wf_YLK.gif
  5. Just in case this excellent advice went too unnoticed the first time. :gabe:

    The Newsroom

    GREAT SHOW!! Season 1 Episode 1 was epic. One of my favorite episodes of ANY show ever. I almost wish this season wouldn't have happened. Last episode was great until the last 5 minutes. I can't see how they can wrap this show up in one episode and do it any justice.
  7. You know my cell Text a brotha! Just happened to hop online and see the PM. PM returned.
  8. IMO 35% off of retail is not enough discount to justify the Salvage title. Another thing I always look at is value in comparison to similar generation vehicles. ie. Even though a 2006 Viper books for more than a 2003 Viper, they are generationally the same. So let's say a 2006 Viper retails for $50k and an 03 can be bought for 35k with high miles... there is no way I would pay even 30k for a salvage title 2006 because there is not enough difference ($5k) between that and a clean title car that is very similar. (People are more likely to deal with high miles than they are a title issue) Also the more expensive the car, the more I think it diminishes value as well because your pool of potential buyers becomes so small. Let's take a cool desirable car (Evo, WRX, etc) that retails at 12k (clean title). Assuming you could buy that with a salvage title for 35% off retail that makes the car $7,800 roughly. That is a sell-able car. Most people can scrounge up that kind of money, or save it up in a realistic amount of time. Let's look at the other end of the spectrum and say the car is a Gallardo. If that car retails at $120,000 and you buy it for 35% off retail you are still looking at $78,000. Anyone who has $78,000 CASH (as we all know how hard it is to finance salvage title) is not going to dump it on a rebuilt car. The car you are looking at is in between the two examples I posted. I *think* the market on a car like the one you linked should more represent something like a 45% discount from retail... placing the value in the neighborhood of $25k
  9. IIRC the Izzy Performance GTR is just a bolt on car. I have seen a lot of money races with them in it, but they are usually negotiating for the hit or lengths due to their lack of mods. Wonder what made them think they could beat a car like that with that kind of prep. Blown LSx Stang = serious bidness, lol
  10. I second this. Thinking about their GA1R open lug for some track wheels http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/df/b1/f9/dfb1f98b1dff8e3a88dc306aa68f6585.jpg
  11. Not sure on the rest of their line, but I have Klassen's M52R and love them. http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=236399&dateline=1367009657
  12. I somehow missed this post before. THANK YOU bro, for always giving me a heads up on what you want and making the trip over here. It's always a pleasure. :thumbup: Be sure to hit me up during the Benz's inaugural Salt Fork snow run, and I'll try to make it out. :gabe:
  13. Thanks again for making the trip! :thumbup: That is DEFINITELY the right color for that car. Looks sick!
  14. I appreciate the props bro, but my skill set doesn't include anything that could help the buster. I think he would be better suited seeking help from Tilley. :gabe:
  15. I hope its something cool like an Express Cargo Van with "Free Candy" spray painted on the side
  16. Awesome car, and even a cooler story. (with who got the car, and what Nissan did for him) Not sure if they posted the video the other thread, so I will attach it:
  17. I just mean that the car has been 3 tenths quicker.... and on the tires I was on yesterday it SHOULD have went even quicker yet.
  18. :thumbup: That's awesome man. Keep it up. There is no more fulfilling race to win, than the one of beating your personal goals!
  19. Das it! Thanks for the pics man, love them!
  20. I haven't seen any others If it was the dirtiest GTR you have ever seen, it was probably mine. Lol Ran awful all day 10.4s Couldn't 60 to save my life today. Not sure if I should blame the tires or the track.
  21. I had to flake out last week due to the kiddos sports, so I'm aiming to make it tomorrow. One last shot at 9s for the year :gabe:
  22. I love playing inverse ETFs, but I disagree about them being a buy-and-hold. When you think the market is going down, get in... but set stops and sells. Tracking or compounding error can eat your lunch, as the ETF is only designed to track 1:1 daily.
