Sell the S2K, keep the Stang, buy a house?

yah, i would run the numbers first before making any drastic changes.

i usually make a spreadsheet, work on it for a week or two, think about it some more, then stick a move.... and dont look back. coulda woulda is too late now.
I am installing my new/replacement rear PSS tomorrow. I was hoping to get more miles out of them -- oh well. Their performance makes up for the lack of longevity.

BTW: in the test, the Pole Position S04 was a close second to the PSS.

Ok, new plan. Sell both, get something new and a house. win-win

Or, take the bus to work and buy a house.

Nah, I think I'd be fine DDing either. S2K is still really fun. Yeah it is a lot slower than the 5.0 but it's still really fun to drive. It's not like I'm stuck in a Corolla or something. Plus thinking about my own garage with a lift gives me big hard on.

Aww you guys make me feel all special and junk.


Did I mention I love the handling on our cars? Had to slam on the brakes to avoid rear ending a Stang and switched lanes with ease. Funny thing was that he almost rear ended another Stang. Nothing like flying past them in a Z and being a girl.

sounds good, mr. onzedge! for me if i can get 10K miles im happy. the DW's are lasting too long. it's like mediocre tasting bottomless soup.

yah, the S04's are killer tires. i run them on my G and very happy with them. they are very sticky dry or wet, and look probably the best out of all of them in this category. only downside... weight. it's 31lbs vs 26lbs PSS. it's fine for dd and most street, but i like my footing light.

I think its great that people are careful about the miles they put on their cars, but I'm not sure I have the self control to not drive a bad a$$ car sitting in my garage. I'm pretty sure when we get my wife a new car, we will still take the Z on most of our road trips I'd love to hit 200K miles in the Z someday I had a 1988 Pathfinder last until 227K when a freaking Geo Metro managed to take it out of commission, and I had a 1999 CRV with 210K that I gave to a cousin for her high school graduation a few years ago.

Sounds absolutely delightful. I love both of those things and the Z road trip with wife along is just the icing on the cake.

Texas drivers... Nice maneuver, Tracie Did you give them one of these when you passed them?



On a sour note, I am home sick again. Will be working on some overdue reports today.

I think I actually had a grin on my face while I had the accelerator floored and passing them. Though I wish I would have looked over to see their faces. One swooped behind me and was trying to ride my ***.

Get to feeling better JAR!
