Nothing comes close for fun, utility and performance.

It costs a bit more than you have (about $95K depending on options) but you should be able to use it for about 2-3 months and then sell it. It's WORTH the experience.

How about you let me borrow it?? Whaddya say?

The OD bank will finance it for you too ! ! !

If you don't want the porsche get the 1994 Dodge Viper: $9800 and a heck of a lot of fun.

Nice OD. Viper is my favorite modern make ... or one of them at least. What is your take on the classic muscle car?

I don't even let my wife drive this bad boy - she is into power and I would never see it again. Well, take that back. I do let her pull the boat and trailer up out of the ocean ramp with it to hoots and hollars from the drunk fishermen sitting on the dock bar. That's an impressive sight seeing a heavy boat almost 2x as long as the car being easily hauled out of the water with this torque and towing capacity and no tire spinning or burning.

I like the Viper a lot because I am into power and performance and good engineering with solid weight distributions and good hp/weight ratios.

I like the old American Classic Muscle cars in terms of power and looks but they absolutely suck (generally) in terms of all around quality, turning and breaking. I'd probably like to do something nuts like take a Volkswagen and mount a V8 in the back seat for kicks rather than try to renovate some of the older stuff. My dream car is the cobra (non kit). I'd also like to do a custom car by designing my own frame with good steering, brakes etc. and put something like an old renovated 455 ci in it and maybe make my own body from fiberglass. That is way off though since it would take a couple of years.

I can pick it up for you - it' just down the road and I can do it on credit card I think. It's so YOU rock!

You ever check out any of Chip Foose's work? Just the kind of thing you mentioned. Classic MC looks ... total high tech remake ... outstanding results.

Matt says I can't sleep with you for the car but he's pretty easy to get along with, he said you can sleep with his wife. (His divorce is final on the 9th so you need to hurry) If we slept together I'd probably owe you a car anyway.

Who is Chip Foose?

Hmm, Matt's gonna have a problem then with this car. Every time you take it out for a spin and come back with flushed cheeks and a satisfied grin and a giddiness in your voice he is going to know you have been having sex and cheating on him. That's what we call a real "joy ride" down my way.

The driver and passenger both have fun too so its kind of like a legal 3 some (car enjoys the company). How bout it? Didn't Bill Clinton set the standard that if there is no penetration its not sex? There is no laws against illicit acceleration to my knowledge either. The only problem I have with this car is there is no back seat. So, if you just could not contain yourself we would have to just buy out Matt and get him his own Viper and then see who wins on the race to the motel.

I read in Penthouse once about a couple, I forget if one or both were married, that decided if he entered her and they didn't move it wasn't cheating.... It doesn't work I asked Matt to fall asleep inside me and it was worse (read better) than moving. Torture.
There are no loop holes in the cheating thing

Well there has to be some kind of natural way around this dilemma. How about we both get nekked and I stand in front of you on the east side. Then I'll suddenly jump up in the air and let the earths rotation spin you around from west to east and as I come back to earth we meet about at the waist. Yeah, that will do the trick.

Anyway, I think I am going to get the car anyway. So if you want to come take it for a spin come get it before my wife decides she wants it. Tell Matt thanks but no thanks on the X offer but I'll definitely take a rain-check on his very next X and wait till then. Maybe the car will help speed things along...

Not many muscle cars up here in the North, we pimp out Jeeps. lift kits, major lighting, racks, front and rear cow catchers, side rails etc. Nothing more fun than working on a Jeep.
