wait, i live in a middle class area, maybe show up to a meet on a saturday night and let everyone know what you think, you'll just get laughed at
"If I drive anyone else's older car, I can't cope with how it handles, or how it accelerates." - how does that make sense
i want to make a bet that richman cod doesn't know much about cars, just that he likes attractive sports cars, the 4th gen eclipse is easily the worst of all eclipse generations
dont bring down the z name, just go buy a porsche  |
Cocky because I can afford newer technology? You may classify me as cocky, but some religions call what you're feeling a sin.
Older cars, esp if they aren't sports cars, don't feel right when driving them. If you want to take a 1997 OldsMobile and compare it to your Z, then by all means do so, but the cars that most people drive, handle like garbage.
I don't know much about cars, I go off of the recommendations of my family members, I'm a systems engineer, I design computer systems, specifically ones used for grid computing, and mainframes.
You don't have to know anything about cars to make them move, or drive them well, just like you don't have to know a thing about technology to use a computer and check your email. There's no difference. I don't have to know how the engine moves the car, I just have to know it moves.
If I want to make my car faster than yours, I just throw money at it - it's the American way. I don't have to do my own bloody work on my car, I wouldn't consider getting grease on my hands. I have to work with fine electronics, it's my job. My job isn't to work on cars.
Also, at what point did I bring the "Z" name down? I'm about to buy the car, unless you think it's a poor decision. Maybe I should buy a 911 instead, or the GT-R? I can afford it, but it doesn't mean I feel like investing that kind of coin into something that gets me from point A to point B daily, not being able to enjoy it because I'm working in a lab.
