Graduating from college is a good thing. This is actually a "hand me down" from my dad, he now drives a 645 Ci.

damn I wish my parents would give me a car.

Haris · #3 08-31-2004, 04:30 AM

Nice.

Is that a boxter?

Relient J · #5 08-31-2004, 05:02 AM

Beautiful car, man! Congratulations, and be careful with it!

Not exactly an ideal car for Minneapolis, but still a great car none-the-less. For my high school graduation I'm getting a paint job for my current car and a crapload of money for college, which I'm plenty happy with.

Oh, it's perfect for Minneapolis. Well.. during the spring, summer, and fall. I'll be storing it during the winter...which is nice, I won't rack up miles.

Not a bad car at all. They come stock with 258 hp.

Talon's goal is 300

I'd love to mod it, but I wouldn't know where to start...

Depends what you want to do with it.

Rottwylor · #11 08-31-2004, 04:24 PM

I was thinking an aero kit, maybe bump up the HP, navigation system, maybe a different speaker system...

They're pretty nice. Personally, I have a fear of "reasonably priced'' foreign cars just because repairing one would be a lot of money. Then again, if your dad gave you a boxter, then I doubt money is an issue.

Be proud, but I'm still jealous and full of rage right now.

Boxter's are nice, but ther're the poor man's Porsche.

Waaay underpowered for the price as well.

Rottwylor · #14 08-31-2004, 09:02 PM

lol, I hate that phrase "poor man's porsche"

I prefer "entry level."

What poor man have you seen driving a boxster lately? And since when did the boxster become the benchmark for all modern sports cars? lol European cars are overrated, overpriced, and underpowered. Period. However, you have to look at the whole package. Handling doesn't get much better in a Boxster S, and the with the HP to weight ratio..258 is hardly something to scoff at,imo.

omfg, I can't believe I'm getting so defensive over my car.

*shakes fist at Goku DAMN YOU!*

Kinda like how your Outback is the poor man's STI? O wait that's the WRX, I guess the Outback is a poor poor man's STI :P

j/p

STFU. Your Talon is the poors man's reliable car...Oh wait, no it isn't.

I could by 5 of your car, without blinking an eye, but I'm not that stupid!

I'll stick to my guns, keep saving my money, and buy an STi (or 2.5RS) when my heap of shit dies on me...But until then, I'm living the cheap bastard life!
