Happy Late one. Wha'd I miss?

'79 Toyota Corona (Don't ask)

LMAOHappy Birthday, Chargerino.

UUUUH...Okay, I'm going to have to stop you right there. The Corvette it more than just some midlife crisis car and can OUTPERFORM the Cay on quite many levels. The Corvette is no longer just a I-can-go-fast-only-in-a-straight-line car. The Corvette IS an enthusuasts car, the Corvette does have some remarkable performance technology of its own, and the Corvette is less about showoffy vestigal bells and whistles like the Cayman is (not of course to say that the Vette doesn't now have enough of its own). The Corvette can handle with the best of them, it has a WINNING racing heritage and a rich 53-year history behind it. The Cayman, to put simply, is a Grand Tourer. It is partially a luxury car. the Corvette isn't, and never pretends to be. The Corvette is just as much about speed, and about spirited driving, and enthusiasm as the Cayman is, and it's more powerful to boot. And untill a Cayman comes out that can match the Corvette in those aspects, such as performance (There won't, by the way. For that you'd have to trade up to a 911) the Cayman itself is just as much a midlife crisis car as the Vette is. IN FACT. Living in Southern California, I no doubt see several Corvettes a day, many, many more Boxsters, and I'm starting to see quite a showing of even more Caymans now. Guess what. The types of people who drive the Corvette--Lawyers, Doctors, Businessmen, and various other older types who might be having a midlife crisis ...get ready for this... IS EXACTLY THE SAME CROWD I SEE DRIVING BOXSTERS, CAYMANS AND 911's. So there. IF the Corvette is a midlife crisis car, the the Cay is just as much so, performance and enthusiasm, all withstanding. That being said, The Cayamn does still rate as one of my favorite cars, and the only other Porsche I really care about, but it still pales in comparison to the only Porsche that I could ever really fall in love with: Now this...Mien Gott! 5.7 liters of pure, concentrated badass.

So I came home from chilling with a few of my friends earlier tonight going my usual route. No big deal, I could drive home from work in my sleep if I had to (and practically have, many times; same route I take to work, practically). So I'm about two blocks or so away from my neighborhood, it's not quite as dense as the center of town is, but it isn't quite residential. Not so many cars on the road seeing as its about ten or so. I'm doing about forty-five, give or take (probably give). A little farther down the road, on the other side there's this large black dog just trotting down the street, probably not paying any mind to where he's going. Suddenly he just darts out into traffic and runs right in front of me. I start laying on my horn and my brakes, and the stupid thing just stops, like a deer in the headlights. So I probably would have missed him if he'd kept going, but apparently, this stupid thing isn't moving, so I swerve to try and avoid him, but I was way to close to begin with, and brakes+swerving=spinout. I hadn't gotten my nose out of the way in time, and just at the last second, this dog decides that he's in danger and starts to move, but he didn't jump in time, and my right front bumper just freakin' walloped him straight in the ass and sent him FLYING. Now this is a big dog, not necessarily tall, but he's big, I'd say the size of a German Shepherd (It wasn't. I couldn't tell what it was, and it had no tag, so I assume it was just a stray.), and I hit this guy so hard that his butt carried him AIRBORNE, a line drive right into the concrete base of a lamppost. Damn thing never had a chance. Anyway, long story short, I pulled into a nearby covenience store, called the police (local number, who then directed me to animal control, who, I assume got rid of the carcass) and then went back outside to inspect the damage (this is in the Cobalt, btw). Surprisingly, as hard as I hit it, the only real damage is a broad scuffmark on the bumper's strike face and a few scratches along the rise between the headlight and the grille--I guess where his back claws and $h! hit it (Boy I heard them scrape)-- but surprisingly, it's nothing that won't buff out. However, hitting a dog that large did cause just a tiny bit of sag between the front bumper and the headlight. there's not a bit of sag between the fascia and the fender however, I think it **could** have been a bit distorted or something. I can just barely wriggle my fingertips in between the fascia and the headlight. Anybody know any way I could fix that problem? I mean it's not really that obvious, but it'd be best to fix it. I dunno if rainwater getting in there could screw anything up or rust anything.

As much as I absolutely love the sexy-as-hell Cay...this question is a big, fat DUH as far as I'm concerned: Me love Vette long time :wub:

Wow. I probably would have freaked the hell out if that happened to me. In any of the accidents I've ever been in, I'd end up a complete mess of high-tesile vibrating nerves. And not to sound like a broken record, but I'm glad to hear you're okay. The American Idol part was priceless. I'd make a suggestion for your next car, but you already know what I'd say... **coughcobaltcough**

Uh...wouldn't this 425hp Challenger be the one with the 6.1L? If that's the case, then that would probably end up being the SRT-8 version, and even by that time It'll probably have even more than that on tap. The R/T would most likely have the 5.7L with 350hp. I assume the lineup is going to be just like the Charger/Magnum/300's minus their base 6-cyl. The 6.1 was just in the show car, folks. That doesn't necessarily mean it'll be the volume engine for the V8 models. Anyway if that be the case, which I'm sure it will be, the Camaro crew has nothing to worry about.

eek. if that's the case, I'd wear a hazmat suit.

what I'd do is talk him down. Find what normal versions of that car are going for and then tell him you're not giving him more than $XXXX for it. Uncover your hidden business sense and bargain with him. If you can talk him down then it may turn out to be a great buy.

Oh hell YES. Definetely. How the hell could I have forgotten about Shakira and that gorgeous little ass she loves to shake so much. Mmmmm God I wanna bite it so bad.

Yeah, Tina Fey is hot as hell, but the two girls that were on SNL that I liked best aren't even on there anymore:Maya Rudolph: perfect mix of cute and hot. I believe there's a word for it...it's, uh PRETTY And Cheri Oteri: She was so cute, and her hyperactivity only made her cuter! Reminds me a lot of an ex-gf (now e-mail buddy) of mine. RRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGH. There is not a picture on the internet that does either of these girls justice.

Oh, yeah....I'd definetly tap that ass.I think we'd make a nice couple too: Dan and Danni.
