911's are pretty quick

Can get a nice decked-out 911 Turbo for about $110,000

Incidentally, that's another one of the cars that I will own, along with a Volvo P1800

Why the p1800 unless you have one now?
And why waste your time with the 911 Turbo when you can have 456hp from a 3.6L 6-cylinder in the GT2?

The P1800's are cool. I'll have to get it and restore it, but I plan on being retired by the time I'm 40, so hopefully that isn't too unrealistic.

I just happen to like the 911 Turbo. They're pretty badass cars

My parents apparently owned one, which I now curse them for selling; they say the trunk was just low enough to be ruined in any sort of altercation with another car's bumper, meaning either expensive repairs or a perma-dent.

Which is why I would just use mine to go on drives through secluded roads and shit. It's pretty hard to find parts for a nearly 40 year old car.

I'd happily kill all of you for an audi TT.

911s are the best proche no doubt (friends dad owns one - great to borrow for making an enterance )

Now that I look at it again, that Merlin looks uncomfortably like the vehicle of Ace and Gary, the ambiguously gay duo on Saturday Night Live.

That is really an awesome vehicle. The other photos in the article are spectacular too,
so I'm reproducing the link to the article, here.

Thanks for posting this car in the Dream Car thread, mitheral.

The Ambiguously Gay Duo! The Ambiguously Gay Duo!

Man, that one where they bit each other's belts... I wasn't expecting that. I about had a heart attack with laughter

But how can you go wrong with this? Yahoo estmiates your payments to be $4,928 - $4,928/month*. Hell, If you're gonna pay that kinda money, why finance -- just buy 2

*based on 0 down, 10% interest rate, 8% sales tax, 48 months.

There are a number of things they dropped from the Turbo. Plus, it's expensive. Plus, I like the looks of the Turbo better.

(More specifically, the 1994 911 Turbo)

is there some footnote here that i'm not getting? those numbers are the same...

Sorry about that -- I just did a cut&paste from the yahoo site without any editing. I did it to avoid plagiarism -- yeah, that's it! And the Queen of England is my mother -- yea, that's the ticket!!

Undertoad · 02-13-2002, 10:49 PM

Is that the one that does 0-60 in 3.8 seconds?

Slight · 02-13-2002, 10:58 PM

Ok the Buggati sounds like a good idea until you look the interior.

Personally I like the Cunningham C-7. Don't get me wrong I like the TT like everyone else but I could probably afford that in my lifetime unlike these cars you never see in the real world.
