Thanks Marc. The CL-S is decent enough to drive around every day I guess, but after riding in and driving Pavel’s car, I wasn’t overly impressed. I owned it at 7psi, and ravaged it at 10… its not very fast. 6SPD is nice, and its a comfy car to cruise in. But when it all comes down to it, its an overgrown Accord, and as always NO CLUTCH = NO CARE ---

Wicked It’s all about priorities, a friend of mine who is 19, lives at home, and works in construction owns a 2004 Acura MDX which has an msrp of 62,000 iirc, he pays for it all himself, something like 1,500 a month plus insurance. Ofcourse he has no money whatsoever to go out and spend, but I guess he is happy. ---

If I’m going to spend that much on a car, it better be fast or have a high level of fun factor in it. That kind of a money can buy a last generation Supra, last generation RX7, S2000, older NSX, or a WRX. But I guess to each his own. ---

60 grand can get you a hell of a lot more than a supra or rx7 like a FD, supra and a heavily modified s14 all together or a mildly modded 350 ---
