Yo, NickCats!
 

This has you written all over it...

that car is kinda scary looking.

Good scary, or bad scary?

Scary as in the person who designed that front bumper must have been on some scary drugs. :eek:

That's a Techart bumper. Well, it's a fiberglass replica of one, anyway.

Those huge intakes are perfect for sucking up little kids, thus making for a much quieter neighborhood.

NickCats, Christmas is almost 2 months away...put this on your list for "C"! :) Better yet, buy it for her, as her gift. Kill to birds with one stone.

Griz,

That is awesome ! I promised the wife no more cars for at least 3 years, but that would definitely give the Boxster a run for the money as far as replacement vehicles go :D

( Starting bid $60k, I wonder how high it will get ? )

Bmus,

I like your thought process, but "C" is thinking of getting rid of the Mustang and picking up one of these :

2008 Audi A3

2.0 L Turbo, 200 hp, 207 ft-lbs TQ for $26k !

Sammy and I came across a husband a wife team driving one of these at the last autocross and I really liked it. Still need to go for a test drive and see if it would make an good "baby hauler" ;)

Nick

Admit it, you don't really want an Audi. No, a Turbo sounds like a perfectly respectable babymobile. Come on, click Buy. Just one little click. All the cool people are doing it.

Yeah, a turbo has "four seats"! :D

Nick, it will be much easier to teach the baby to say "t-u-r-b-o" vs "Audi"! :)

Baby Hauler, huh? Well, why didn't you say so? This should haul some babies.

Me like :D :D

Griz,

I love the Cayenne, but my wife is anti-SUV :(

BTW – Happy Birthday !

Nick

Nick, I would appreciate it if you could get your wife to talk to my wife. She wants to get a Sprinter. Yes, a Sprinter:

Nonsense. Tell her to at least consider a Mercedes:

Plenty of cargo space, and I bet it's great in bad weather.

;)

Believe me, if I show her that picture, she will want that vehicle instead. God bless her...

A sprinter. Cool. I've never actually seen a person own a Sprinter before. I thought they were built exclusively for UPS.

:eek: you married the perferct woman!!!

I've lost count of the number of women I know who drive Navigators, Escalades, Cayennes, X5, etc. that never carry any cargo other than their Louis Voiutton hand bag, are the only passenger in the car 98% of the time, they don't moutain bike, ski, surf, snurf, etc.... And of course they never drive into the country because Prada hasn't come out with a hiking boot yet.

It's actually pretty cool in a way. We sat in one at the NY auto show. I could get up from the driver's seat and walk to the back standing up straight and still had headroom to spare (I'm 6'1"). We could fit a bunch of kids, their friends, the dog, plenty of gear and still have room to spare.

Plus, they have a huge following on the autocross circuit...
