GSOYF and iamwiz82, you both need lessons. Pay attention to ffmcobalts posts, you might learn a thing or two.

Hey! This is my first new car...... let me revel in it a little....... what do you drive, hmmmmm?

Hey, more power to you :)

I just *had* to diss because I see those and Mustangs everywhere. Parking lots are like this(pulling these numbers out of my ass...but they look right): 35% SUVs, 20% trucks, 15% minivans, 15% Mustangs and Eclipses, 15% everything else.

Seriously, when I drive around I see Mustangs and Eclipses all over the place. I counted them once on a 30 minute drive and counted 10 Mustangs and 7 Eclipses. That's not a BS number. I don't have a problem with anyone personally if they drive one, but I just think people could spend that much money better :D

Aside from that, I drive a '88 Honda Accord LX. Nothing special, but it didn't cost me $20K+ either. I'f I'm going to spend that much I'm going to get something a little more unique or stand-out...with better performance.

Don't get me wrong, the Eclipse Spyder is a nice performer, but for that kind of money there is much better out there. Have fun in your ride nonetheless.


Alright... Nice car, by the way. Makes me think of that one commercial with that song from Dirty Vegas I think?!?!? Dunno exactly:)


FreAk:D

Yeah, it's Dirty Vegas: Without You. The car is used in the music video, too -- the artists (3 English guys) are sitting in an Eclipse at an intersection. In the European version of the video, they're sitting in a restaurant. So they changed the video just because of this sponsorship. :Q
