For the love of God, why would ANYONE in their right mind go for a Celica or MR-2? I would understand anyone picking a Supra TT. And don't get me started on the RX7 :eek:

Here's what you people should be looking at!

The BMW M3:

The thing is capable of 341 bhp, it's electronically limited to 155 mph, 0-62 mph in 5.2 secs. And it's a 3.2 litre ;) Pretty impressive as it doesn't need a turbo or super charger.

BMW M5:


Now this beast is one of my favourities. On the outside, it may look like one medium to big sized saloon, ala 5 series. Look closer, and you will notice the 4 exhaust pipes and the M badge. Drive it, and you will be amazed! Besides the fact it has 400 bhp, it too is electronically limited to 155 mph.

Note the fact that these are german cars, and will NEVER break down ;).

There are more cars I will post about, just a bit later.

It's a great luxury car, but far from my dream car.

But you do realize it's only dual exaust, don't you?

Gekko, both the cars have 4 exhausts ;) Just look closer. Anyways, I would know, I have driven them :D.

You're right, it is a GREAT LUXURY CAR, and and even better sports car at that, it absolutey rockets! It's the fastest saloon on the road :D.

But wait, I have other 'dream cars' :D. Just later...

Umm... it has dual exhaust. Having a dual-tipped exhaust doesn't count as dual exhaust. It has 2 exhaust pipes. going to 2 mufflers, both with dual-tips. It's still only dual exuast, which is nothing to brag about.

Hey, I have a question for all you car dudes out here. How much would it cost to get a full blown paint-job on a car (an old one). Like I'd like to turn a dark red car into an orange car. How much would that run me?

Depends on what all you need done to your car. It also varies by the kind of paint you get. Try finding some websites on it, like Maaco's site. They should be able to explain clearly the kind of price you're looking at.

Well for paint jobs, I always say you get what you pay for. Don't go to Maaco unless you're planning to pay more than those specials like $300 because they are ****tty paint jobs. Also it depends on how much bodywork you need to get done on your car. If you are looking for quality work, expect to pay $1000 +.

I'm thinking about repainting my car also, one of these days when money just magically appears in my account.

Oh yeah, I'd pick a Toyota Supra TT over a RX7 anyday. The Supra probably has the best engine to work on, no adding extra rotors like the RX to achieve massive bhp numbers.

For me, I'd still get an MKII MR2 Turbo. Something that I could actually afford, and be happy about owning it. I was very close to getting this car but I decided not too because of school.
