Motorists who drive with high beam on in the city should DIAF.

That takes out 90% of the drivers here.

1) Save money, because my savings have been annihilated. This is the best logical choice.

But that's totally not what I want to do!

This computer has its problems logged somewhere in this thread, and some musings to deal with it... but I definitely don't want to go ripping this thing apart, selling, buying, rebuilding... ugh, I'm just done with computers at this point.

"develops 620 PS (456 kW; 612 hp) and 700 N·m (516 lb·ft) of torque"

Still from 3.6L. That's huge!

Hell, you can get a used Miata, do a V6 biturbo build, and probably stay under $30k. Expand that to under $40k, and you can probably be chasing the Porsche pretty hard, with what would essentially be a race-prep Miata.

The Jets may finally be realizing Sanchez sucks.

Took them long enough, but I would rather they keep Sanchez, so the whole league can keep shoving Ryan's foot in his fat mouth.

Yeah, it's an ugly car, but it's a dirty cheap wonderful performer, with its biggest weakness being power.

My brother has a Solstice XP (I think that's the designation; it is the turbo model) and my friend has a Miata. Both the Solstice and Sky look much, much better than the Miata IMO but I think the Miata has a better interior.

I wouldn't mind having a little roadster at some point, but cars aren't generally high on my priority list and I can't really have 3 cars, as I can't give up our third garage bay.

The Miata is an overall better car though.

Fucking Chase Freedom won't take payments from a savings account. Well, that confirms it won't become my primary card.
