Went car shopping

Jay your nuts man lol, put a nice ass carpet and maybe some ballin suede seats in the Ultima, and call it good, nice and plush, and if you dont like it ill trade ya for the white car ;D

In all seriousness, I have been working like 12 hrs a weeks for a while at my normal job… I need to get my work ethic back…or sell some of my flips… damn re market is good…but not fast enough to furnish the goods … ya know… with Casinos on every block.

Yea i hea ya there brother

My grandpa rides around in a mint caddy. Ever consider a caddy?

We can chit chat more about this on Weds when you stop by with the M3 goodies. I’ve built a couple GTR’s before. One competes in the OLOA and other misclaneous crap like that. Nothing difficult about them other than the time required to complete(~375hrs single handed)

I had a mint green Caddy… 1978 DeVille with green interior and green tannau. Had it 1st year of college. Also had a Green (turquois) Eldorado in high school… it was a 79… had a 425 ci with front wheel drive… sucker smoked those tires hard with a good neutral drop! How did you know I was a green caddy fan! LOL

I love the cts-v …

Adam… okay… I was guessing more like 1000 hours!

You have good taste. A prick to me but good taste. :slight_smile:

The CTS-V is beautiful.

You can take it… byw, I got some good excuse video we made that night… I’ll post it later. Plus one to the star! Comin back to town for a visit soon or what?

what about a XLR? since your a confertible fan!

Just a slower vette, nice, but sluggish

Nice car…again…overpriced… saw them being assembled at the vette plant . Was cool… very short assembly line. Truly hand built in comparison to most GM cars.

I see it as a 60k car… but I generally think everything is overpriced… including the current Atom price. When i ordered mine they started at 35k … mine was optioned to 52k … same car now is 75k. overpriced.

I know your not a ford guy, but theirs one expection…

67 Shelby GT 500…should get one of those suckers.

Alternator? Good Lord. Talk about irony. I’ll be up Friday actually for Memorial Day BBQ with my old work buddies. I might stop out if I can ditch the wife. :slight_smile:

What kills me about that was the absolute best launch I ever had in my life. :frowning:

An XLR? Dude you are not this old yet. You have the rest of your life to be boring.

You know my thoughts. You agree it is the best choice. I will start autotrader searching.

No XLR for me… cool car, well built, just toooo much for what it is!

So what’s a base Atom go for now days? $50K? :wow

Need to adjust my savings plan… :ninja

u want engine and brakes 65k

Im kinda liking this… http://www.gtmbuild.com/galleries/videos/gtm_run.wmv

That thing looks like a koenigsegg got raped by a Ford GT and somehow during the course of it picked up some crappy gauges. :lol

With the looks aside, its pretty bad ass. Its just nice to see any of these cars in our area and on the road.

Ah yes!!! I forgot about that car. Factory Five GTM. Uses corvette C5 suspesnsion components(arms, uprights, brakes, etc) While I haven’t assembled one of those I have been up close to study one and they’re very similar to an Ultima in build, but much cheaper overall cost wise. I think a complete chassis/body kit is about $25K minus the parts you need from GM and of course the engine/Porsche G50 transaxle that you’d want to use… Could probably build one of those for about 50-60K

That vid was brutally boring. :lol

If GMs are built like crap, I’m sure a KIT CAR based on their parts must be much better…

If you want something plush, write the check for a 911T. Hell you can even get a 360 Modena for 80gs now and tell GM and leaf springs to go fuck themselves.
