Where are the deals?

Ugh! I can't seem to find a decent used car.

I guess it doesn't help that my budget is $2000 to $20,000. Maybe I should narrow it down a bit.

Looking at everything from a Civic hatchback to a 540it (6spd?!). The Audi A6 looks nice, but my brother has a VAG car and he's always complaining about the quality (or lack thereof).

Why can't I be rich? I'd get an Evo 9 MR, a Porsche Cayman, and an E55 wagon to haul stuff (as well, as haul ass). That would be enough to fill out my 5 car garage.

G35 and track roadster (need to find another Spyder) would take up the last two spots.

Poor Elsie! My baby is gone...

Well, not physically gone, but she is soon to go to a new home.

Today I sold my Spyder.

(weep, sob, cry, cry, wipe)

New owner won't pick her up for a few weeks, but I have to start getting used to the idea of not having the amazing little Spyder anymore.

At least until I get another one!

Yeah, it's 2006!

I wonder how many weeks it's going to take me to adjust. You know, stop writing 2005 on checks and stuff. Not that anyone writes checks anymore. That's SO 1999!

Not much going on. Actually had a few days off from work. What a relief, but also I'm at a lost as to what to do. Spent about 5 hours on the ole PS2. Mostly GT4 (best game evar!) but also tried a few demo discs. Played MotoGP on Xbox. Very cool, but hard to get used to. I think I still prefer cars.

Maybe moto-engined cars, but four wheels nonetheless.

New favorite car (after seeing it in GT4) is the Suzuki GSX-R/4!

I wonder if I'll ever be able to build something like that. This dude up North is building his own car. He has just a bit more money than I do... Dman. Just checked the site as I like to do periodically. He's got an M5. Not the 400hp one I hope to own, but the new V-10 MONSTER.
