$30,000 why would a scion even cross your mind? and people drive RWD around in the inter all the time. its called trucks. people are just pussies and dont know how to control the spinning in a rwd car. ---

looking at the Acura TL type S slightly used is 30k also found a lexus IS 350 but those are 4 door I’m not planning on living in baltimore for more than 6 months I will hopefully be moving to either Texas or Florida, either way snow will be the last of my worries. But should I move back up north in 2 years I cant get a summer only car because then id have to sell it. ---

Grand cherokke srt8 or however its spelled are pretty badass. awd for the rain and snow, 425hp for low 13 sec quarter miles and a warranty. not the lifetime one on srt’s though. I remember reading in car and driver or some shit about them and they only got like 13mpg or around there and it will need premium so that kinda ruins it. sick if you can afford the gas though. ---

SRT8s accept upgrades very well, that’s not unique to the LSx line. Although the SS wins the comparison contest: > Without question, the Jeep is the hottest rod here. Although the two have fairly similar power-to-weight ratios (11.4 pounds per horsepower for the Jeep, 12.3 for the Chevy), the Jeep easily outruns the SS.

Maybe it hasn’t been done yet, but I have a feeling if you were to stroke a 6.1L (372 CI) to 400+ cubes with DP Nitrous wouldn’t be too far off. Regardless, dude is looking for a DD, not a 10 second street terror… Either of the two seem to fit his bill. ---
