That's cause they're "100% done"...

I hate to say this, but you are wrong. Once I finish my thirdgen-it will be finished-period. I have an extensive list of plans that are pretty specific, some permanent, some still open for debate. I am going to have my thirdgen for a while because I want my next car to be an exotic car, something rediculously low, wide, and too powerful for me to handle.
When my thirdgen is finished, I am going to restart my original hobby before I got into cars, and that hobby is model trains. I don't mean like the lionel set that goes around in an oval - I mean a realistic looking miniture landscape with rivers, canyons, towns, etc. I would love to pick it back up, but I don't have the space, time, or extra money for it. I like the European model trains, which are 2-3 times more expensive than American model trains.
Trust me, when I say my car is 100% finished, it will be 100% finished. The only way I would try something different is if something happened to it. Right now its about 25% finished.

Wow...that is one sweet ride.... And Dev....you're one of the few.
This IS my hobby...so I can't very well just stop with a car. There's always something I want to do. But if I did finish everything I wanted to do with a car..well, I'd buy a new one and start all over again..but keep the original of course. Hopefully my lucrative career in film will allow for this lifestyle.

Wow, I don't like the styling one bit. I would have to change every single body panel on that car to actually like it. I always thought the new Z would look more like the new Lexus SC300 or what ever they call it now a days.
I'm glad you like it though. At least it's a new car. Have fun.

Looks like something out of a movie set about 15 years in the future. Except all future cars are silver. Ever notice that? Maybe those are the rednecks of the future...the future's equivalent to a primer gray 78 Camaro.

Hey, 15 years down the road, you never know! I've seen plenty of rednecks driving imports...they're just bashed up pieces of sh*t Toyotas, etc...so most don't think of them as 'imports', just as 'crap'.

So many things make it better in the snow...LSD, ABS, but jeez the street tire f'n stink. I never meant to drive it in the snow but got stuck at work. Ah well! Soon I will start shopping for a 'beater. Third-Gen???!!!
No that would be funny!

Hahah....yea, good eyes!
Thant's my parents house, so the boat would be my dad's. Awesome boat!! Don't know too much about it though. Can't wait to be able to take it out again. :lala:
SoCal has it seems another winter storm heading our way on Fri thru Monday.
Might want to wax up your NEW vehciles now for more snow or rain.
I'd say you guys back East get it by mid-week or sooner.
I learned how to water ski in the Sound and I've been to Westport docks as a little boy.
Yeah I knew that boat looked nice.
Has to be for the Atlantic.
