Well, Now I've Gone and Done It...

Jul 26, 2006 07:41

NPR's Cartalk us tells that...
[The RSX-S] makes for a very responsive, tightly wound car that may just be a little too edgy for a lot of drivers. The teensiest shift in pedal pressure on the accelerator can be felt in the car speeding up or slowing down...It's fun to drive. The question is, do you want to drive a race car every day? Or would you ( Read more... )

:( I have failed :(

I could be on the lunch, depending where it is.

seldomawake July 26 2006, 12:45:32 UTC

Nope. You haven't failed. You stopped me from the 'vette and the Boxster. Especially the Boxster. That would've been a mistake, in restrospect.

The lunch is at IHOP, on Peachtree Industrial. Basically, you keep on Peachtree Industrial south until you see an IHOP on your right. It'll be alongside a cinema.

You have a porsche? Which one?

seldomawake July 26 2006, 13:46:52 UTC

And yes, I wouldn't win.

However...

1. The new civic platform is based on the RSX, not vice-versa. The RSX was the test platform. Introduced 2002, removed 2006, which coincides with the new Civic.
2. I spent less than half of what I would've on the Porsche. That's kinda nice. I believe my exact statement was, "If I wreck it, I'll just buy another."
3. GOD I LOVED THE BOXSTER. But I couldn't justify it as a daily-driver everyday car.
4. If I can get 85% - 90% of the driving fun for 50% of the price, with increased practicality and insurability thrown in, why not?
5. See previous post. Despite the above, the Boxster was a close second :)

Congrats! Clearly didn't read that in time for lunch, but I hope I'll see you maybe next week.

seldomawake July 26 2006, 18:36:17 UTC

Um... that's lunch this Saturday?

tinaea July 26 2006, 21:24:02 UTC

You and Tim need to get yourselves some form of instant messenger.

seldomawake July 26 2006, 21:28:22 UTC

Nah. This is fun.

jaila July 26 2006, 23:08:22 UTC

Congrats and shit!

Where's lunch?

seldomawake July 27 2006, 11:10:08 UTC

Thanks! The lunch is: http://ihop.know-where.com/ihop/cgi/site?site=04452&address=

Incidentally, Pynk is selling his (still working but not very reliable) Camry for ~$500. We should talk about this important detail.

Also, have you seen Clerks II yet?

Shit jaila July 27 2006, 21:52:55 UTC

Norcross is a little out of my way there, dude...sorry..

and no, I haven't seen Clerks II yet

Re: Shit seldomawake July 27 2006, 22:03:41 UTC
