If you had $100,000 to spend on a car
 

What would it be?

Something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1838383689

Or what?

A pink Ferrari with a license plate that says

"Princess Jackie" or
"Pretty Princess" or
"Sexy Diva"

Do they even make pink ones??!

nice.

i'm still trying to decide between the clk430 and m3 cabriolet. definitely buying one soon. not quite a 100K though...

You need a classic muscle car lensman. Like the ones from the 50's drag races, with the big ass thing popping outta the hood "Old Skool Ram-Air" lookin shit.

Screw that, I would rather spend half of that and trick out my VW bus with a new engine, custom paint, leather interior and slammin sound system...

you bought it?

I'll take the car in the pic, but I'll have it painted pink. I always wanted to have a pink car, just like Barbie!

TVR Tuscan R

:thumbsup

<sigh> and in my color. Not street legal in the US and way over $100K

Lens you need a Jag XKR convertible.. even have money to spare.

that's what i'd pick too

I would by a Tonka:1orglaugh

£69,999 which is approx $100,000 - not street legal in the US yet but TVR are planning to sell in the US in the near future :thumbsup

lame

First one I saw was in the movie Swordfish... I love the Jag XKR, but the TVR wouldn't be bad either... Just need more garage space.

100K? I would replace the body panels on my camaro with carbon fiber, and have a tubular subframe made to replace the stock one.

Get a motown block, bore it to 4.125" and stroke it a bit to get it over 400 cubes. Get some heavily modded AFR heads, strong forged bottom end, titanium valves (all the good stuff), and get the bitch to revv up to 7K.

Then get a custom intercooled twin turbo setup on it. Snag some 335mm wide tires for the rear, beef up the suspention quite a bit, and the rear/tranny.

Then put the other 70K in the bank, and smile as i blew by vipers in a stock looking thirdgen camaro. ; )

But it would still be a chevy ;)

TuscanR has carbon/kevlar body. 12 cylinder,8000 rpm, 200mph easy

I've been in a lot of luxery cars and sports cars and as far as I'm concerned they're all made for midgets.

I want a nice car - luxery or sports car - that's made for a guy that's 6'4. Every God damn one I get in is sooo uncomfortable I couldn't imagine buying it. So far the only thing I'm comfortable in is my full size GMC 4X4....

I have the same problem with boats - the fuckin seats are made for little people and my knees hit the dash on most that I try out. I had to settle for a smaller one than I wanted just cause the seats were right.


anyone know of a nice sports car or luxery car made for a real man?

i'd get an m5 and put in some other fun aftermarket mods into it. just to make a sexy beast even sexier under the hood.

As far as boats.. you can go buy my ex's 36' Carver. That way he can pay off the back child support that his first ex-wife is getting ready to sue him for... now that she suddenly found out he has some $$.

Ever considered ripping out the driver's seat and sitting in the back?

order a Saleen S7... they actually measure you after u purchase, and build the cockpit to fit you. dunno wut the wait time is, but itd be worth the $$ if u have it.

"Man them notes is heavy, thats why I got a couple chevys" - MistaChuck D.

well, the new lexus SC430 is roomy. I'm a pretty big guy 6'3' and 195 lb, and both the MB CLK 430 and BMW M3 are very comfortable. i'm getting something in the next 3-4 weeks. just how big are you?

By a GMC Denali .. the new ones have 4 wheel steering

I saw the pics of your boat - nice toy.

far far too many times

Try this one:

haha I had a boyfriend in college who was 7'2". He drove a VW Bug with no drivers seat. sat in the back and drove it.

I'm 6'3 - no offense but if you're 195 and 6'3 then you're pretty much a rail. I was under 7% body fat when I was 210lbs in university. I'm rather bigger than that now though.....

I've been in a few different BMW's and never been impressed for room, my biggest complaint is how my right leg often rubs up against the center console. I'm a country hick so I dont' know what a MB CLK 40 is?

perfer the escalade......... the denali is small

was his name shaq?

haha.. no ...I went to college about 10 years before Shaq. He did play pro ball for quite a while.. Center for the Sonics, the Mavs, and the Bullets (yes the DC team wasn't always the Wizards).

Nissan Skyline R34 GTR ($95,000)

Don't think they're legal in the US without $20K in modifications and they're right hand drive.

Also a hell of a lot less than $95k....

Buy 2 cars!

i'd get a testerrossa :)

insurance would be brutal , if i could get insurance for a 12 cylinder sports car lol

Already have all of my dream cars - minus the Modena. Paid $125K Cash for the 355.. close enough though. Paid $35K for the Lexus, $45K for the Disco II and the Denali.

Sleazy I think you should buy the Bangbus.

:winkwink:

DH

for 100k id say an ultima gtr with a z06 engine in it

50k noble gto but its rhd and there is a 12 month waiting list

pk-
the gtr is normally 70k
you can buy them legal in the usa for 95k
motorex.com has them


yah rhd sucks. ive only driven one rhd car...stalled the first time...lol it was a lotus super 7. wowie! 200 hp but it weighs only 1150 pounds

As I said.. after $20K in modifications and how long waiting through customs, epa, etc. Just to have a car that only 18-21 year old import car boys would drool over. Should see all the imprezas and hondas and stuff these kids drive around these days, put these mufflers on em to make em sound like they really have an engine. They stomp on the gas coming out of the school parking lot like "I'm da man". Makes me laugh. Give me an 60s/70s V-8 muscle car any day.

100k wouldn't buy a 'dream' car in finland due to taxation, but if I could afford it I'd either buy me a convertible ferrari. I doubt 100k is enough for it there either. BMW M5 is nice.

I love you PK :thumbsup

I'd get a classic that would hold its value and draw a lot of attention.

I'd get a work of art like a 1951 Mercury -- w/ flames out the exhaust... ;)

If I had enough moeny I'd buy a meclaren F1 ... but for now I'l just stick to the supra I'm gonna buy lol :D

was this you in the AOL marylanders chat Lens...

EMINEM HAS VD: anyone want to help me buy a 2002 Ferrari 360 Spider F1 U.S. MODEL


:1orglaugh

id get this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1838483222

20k is to motorex not really mods. im not a big fan of skylines because they are heavy like an american car. but, they are the most advance car you can get for under 100k...hell probably under 200k. motorex has cars in stock or can get you a new one in six weeks. thats a lot sooner than you can get most high end cars.

ie. my neighbor has been waiting almost six months for a 2003 sl500

60-70s v8s are nice and loud...lots of hp/tq
the only thing is they cant make a right or left turn or brake :)
nothings sweeter than beating v8s and vipers with my little 69 cubic inch motor :D


tgf-
i hear you about taxes, etc... back in ireland a bmw3-series is going for $US55k. thats 20k more than what they should be if you judge by what they are going for here in the states

Sleazydream: Audi S8 Don't judge it before you have driven
it. You can thank me later
