Edit: Thats how you bought one. Wow! http://usedcars.cardomain.com/cars/u...66704351297502

Depreciation is amazing in this economy! Crazy!

Hows the depreciation on the Z24 Cavalier?
^^^ LOL! Seriously. My old client bought his Enzo for $900K and sold it for $1.9Mil. He only bought it for SEMA to show off some of his wheels, then sold it about 6 months later. With low miles on it, it'd probably be worth about $1.5Mil even in this economy. I'd say that's worth enough to buy ALMOST 47 370zs at $32K/each.

I love those kit cars... LOL The only Enzo my 300zx can beat!

The Enzo is driven very rarely, it is an investment that I got for a steal........and plan on making enough on it to buy several Zs, although I will get only one of course...the less miles on it , the more it will be worth...I had a 240Z before most of you were born, and I havent had one since that, but I love them because of the way they HANDLE ........I am not interested in a GT-R because I dont want a car that is not a RWD

The SR-71 picture is because My son went to the United States Air Force Academy and had the privilege of flying them after he became a pilot.
No, it doesn't cut off when the GAS backs up to the nozzle. It cuts off when too much pressure backs up to the nozzle. If it waited for the gas to back up, it'd spill over and cause a LOT of pressure to build up in the tank when you start the car. I'm not trying to tell you to stop, I'm just trying to tell you that I'm not going to waste my time "shaking" my car to see if my car's tank will fit 2 more gallons. That extra 2 gallons aren't worth chancing damage or spill-over to my car, and this isn't Road Warrior or Mad Max. There's a gas station a stones throw away from anywhere you are.

And I'd sure HOPE that they let your son fly the blackbird AFTER he became a pilot. That'd be pretty bad if they let him before hand. My uncle was obsessed with that jet. He was an engine mechanic in the USAF.
