    Tsx is nice but the power to weight ratio sucks.

    Maxima

    15k might get you an 04-05 acura tl a-spec

    Thanks for the info! It turns out there was something wrong with the oil trap, replaced it and good to go! :)

    I'm still getting a new car, but in a few months after saving up some for the down payment.

    RIP volvo :(((( You looking for a sporty type car tones of choices out their bro wont be that hard.

    I would suggest a volvo s60 from 2001 and up just in your price range has the hp and its a volvo the swedish know what's up! Dont have to listen to me just the volvo maniac.

    That was the third volvo I owned (two 850 GLT's and a 760 turbo), brother has a s60, dad drives a s80, and mom drives a xc90. I was checking out the c30, but it's a little out of my price range... we're certainly familiar with volvo's, maybe i'll keep the trend with a s40/60. Thanks for the input!

    This weekend, I blew the head gasket in my 96 Volvo 850 GLT.. in a rather NASCAR-style way. I was cruising 45mph and suddenly smoke everywhere, completely filled the cabin of the car with windows down, and I could barely see the car behind me. I'm pretty sure it's the head gasket, sounds fine running it, but just tons of smoke pours out the exhaust.

    Anyway, I'm looking for a newer used car (2006'ish), somewhat sporty (~200hp+), preferably a manual (doesn't have to, but preferably). I have no clue what my credit is, however I recently paid off my credit cards to $0 (from about $5k total) and only had a couple monthly required payments, so my credit *should* be pretty good. I'll end up spending around $12k or so, up to $15k at the very most. My buddies have recommended a Subaru WRX or a VW GTI. Any other recommendations?

    DoctorQ, I used to have the same car, white 95 volvo 850 glt with 30% all around, was only illegal on the fronts in VA. I have the same tint on my green 96 volvo 850 glt and strangely doesn't look as dark as my white car did. I had a buddy hook it up for $130 all around (everything but the windshield), and never had any problems with the popo.

    Also, I hear if you talk to an eye doctor and have 'sensitive' eyes adjusting to light, you can get them to write a note and can have tint as dark as you want.

    Non-related, but where do ground your wires to?

    That would be funny. The whole bit of not knowing is what made it so fun. :)

    I'm sure he's the main stig, but there's multiple stigs depending on the car/availability. If you look carefully, you'll notice height differences in a few different episodes.

    Like his African and American cousin?

    Hahahahaha, no.. wasn't referring to 'those' stigs. I meant like when Michael Schumacher brought his ferrari to the track (took off his helmet as the stig), Damon Hill, Jay Kay, as well as others.. i'm pretty sure it just depends on the kind of car they're testing.

    Don't forget the locktite.

    x2 on the Locktite, I used it on my motorcycle to keep everything tight after a couple parts kept falling off (chinese bike under $2k brand new) and have had 0 problems since.

    I didn't have my camera with me, but my buddy took these. Sadly, they didn't have an Audi R8 or a BMW M6, but had a few nice ferrari's and the new Porsche Panamera 4s (4-seater). I'm only linking a few of the pics, but there are more on the photobucket site.

    PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE THIS POST WITH ALL OF THESE PICS.

    Ferrari out front, can't remember which:

    I don't see any img links...(not the reason for edit, just a comment)

    Just got back from the 2010 Hampton Roads Auto Show. They had a tons of nice cars, but really wanted to check out an Audi R8 and BMW M6, but didn't have them there. The Porsche Panamera looked damn sexy tho. :)

    I know you took pictures for us to see and you are about to post them up in the show off section right? ;)

    Trying to make a post, but can't view it. It had a lot of img links to photobucket from my buddy's pics he took. :/

    Either way, here's a link to my photobucket with 29 pics:

    If a mod reads this and can delete some of the img links, it may fix it. :)
