Marc Escuro says... >> It reminds me, we've got this Miata thing going on around here, all this huge >> men shoving themselves into the teeny tiny car and for what?! >> I have to smile when I see that. > > Miata = overpowered golf cart. Heh-heh, that's a good one! >I just can't fit in certain cars... And I won't bother even trying. My brother in law is 6'4" and he just got a VW! >That's why I won't consider Japanese cars. >They're TOO small... That and I think their car designs are generic. >> I drove a Mustang, it was SWEET, but a Ford.... > > REALLY?? I was very underwhelmed with the performance of the Mustang. Was it a 5.0? >There's also something about Ford interiors that scream "generic" and >"cheap." I agree 100%, all Fords interiors are like that, once you've seen the best nothing else compares. > >>> Haahah.... There's this on ramp from the highway leading into San >>> Francisco International Airport. If I can hit it at 45mph without a seeming >>> loss of control or under/over steer..... Then it's good in my book. >> I've got one near me, leading onto the interstate and it curves at such a >> sharp >> angle that anything in the vehicle will fly around. If I can't hit that at >> 45-55 mph hugging the inside, then it isn't good in my book. > > HAHA!!! The onramp into SFO is the 1st test. The 2nd test to take it >the car on Highway 17. It's a twisty mountain road leading from Silicon >Valley to Santa Cruz, CA. IT's an insane road and literally the ultimate >test in handling. :) That sounds like a blast to drive! I have one here that I like also that is very twisty, I've got it down pat. > >>> I can't fit in a Z3. I'm not that comfortable in a 3-series. I'm very >>> picky with car interiors. >> So am I, it is like a home away from home for me. > > YUP. Considering I spend most of my life in traffic... :) More than 1 hour a day? On another note - how bad is car-jacking out there? Is it under reported? ~J~
