You know, I find the GTR sort of interesting...

[Pierre.Suave]

I need to decide just how interesting though...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. My dear Pierre.Suave!

And just what is the "GTR"?

Hmmm?

:hi:

:shrug:

[Pierre.Suave]

2. Nissan GTR

You are not watching Top Gear are you... :rofl:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_GT-R

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Watching what?

Nope, I'm not watching it!

:rofl:

[Pierre.Suave]

4. The best show on TV

BBC's Top Gear.

[flvegan]

10. Peggy isn't watching it because she's The Stig, dude.

Didn't you know?

:rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear flvegan!

Good grief, what is going on in here tonight?

Please inform me just what on earth "The Stig" is?

:eyes:

[Pierre.Suave]

13. Here you are Peggy

it is no insult.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Thanks, sweetie!

I appreciate your telling me this...

:hug:

[Pierre.Suave]

12. ...

:rofl: x 11enty brazilians

[flvegan]

5. I've read that they break like a motherfucker, though.

Everything voids the warranty, etc. I have nothing to back that up, just ramblings around the internet, magazines, etc.

I'd get the Porsche.

[Pierre.Suave]

6. I have read the same things

that is one thing tempering my enthusiasm.

[flvegan]

7. Besides, for $80k, I'm buying a 3 year old Aston Martin DB9.

At least in Florida.

[Pierre.Suave]

8. I can buy an 07 GT3 for 89K

here...

[flvegan]

9. Then I think

I'd go for that were I in your shoes then.

I've only seen one GT3 for sale here, and it was $125k. Not that it didn't seem worth it.

[Pierre.Suave]

14. It is tempting...

But I am reconsidering how much satisfaction I can get from an expensive car versus a not so expensive one, and leaning towards the less expensive one.

[DainBramaged]

17. You can get a 2001 Ferrari 550 Maranello or a ZO6 'Vette for $80K too

BOTH have more panache than a GTR.

[no name no slogan]

15. I found them somewhat interesting at first, but ultimately unsatisfying

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTR_(band)

"When the Heart Rules the Mind" was an okay single, but there was so much potential with a band that had both Steve Hackett and Steve Howe in it.

ETA: I saw them in 1986 at the Orpheum in Minneapolis. It was an okay show, for the most part.

[GOPisEvil]

18. I think I'd rather buy something else for that money.

It is nice though.

I'll just have to live with my $18k Subaru. :D

[flvegan]

19. Yeah, but think how spiffy the GTR owner looks

in their replacement Sentra while their transmission gets rebuilt...again.

[GOPisEvil]

20. Reminds me of an old boss of mine and her BMW.

Damn thing was in the shop more than in her garage.

In fact, she had a loaner 5-series wagon so often I thought she traded her sedan in...

[Pierre.Suave]

21. for 20K because Nissan voided their warranty...

youch...
