Car Buying

While visting Canepa Design in Scotts Valley, CA yesterday (filled with exotica under restoration), I heard the best advice ever regarding buying a car...............

Looking is more fun than buying
Buying is more fun than owning
Owning is temporary, because you are always looking

Great line Tom, I believe that would be true if you're always turning things over, here we buy for the "love of the tub"... enough said! Personally I love cars of all types and I will always love a car show where you walk around for hours just looking at cars.. that's awesome... but I'd always wanted a speedster, just something about it, looks cool, the year it was made, the body style, with top up or down.. mostly down here in So Cali though...

...just like a marriage ~

why is it we always want just a little bit more ...

Who wrote the lyrics - I got everything I need ... almost -

Tom,

Good line but I find it real hard to come up with anything better than my IM-6. Will I have something else.....sure but......not likely better than my IM-6.

IMHO.....perfection.

John,

"You can't always get
what you want
but if you try some time
you just might find
you get what you need!"

Words to live by, my man. Especially if it's got a Type IV -- and your wife is happy with it!
Dave, I am truly sorry that you jumped right for the IM-6. Really.
If you would like to trade that beautiful, woefully underpowered gemstone for something uglier and a little more torquey, you just let me know.
Hehehehe ... ;)

(Goll-dangit, but that's an awesome ride.)

Torque?

You got 225 ft/lbs at the crank?

I don't think so?

I have they dyno sheet to prove it. Light weight you have me in spades no question like the Black 550 we all know and love. The thing is my stock motor will live 100K easy. That T-4 well not so much....

Come on out West when you can. I'll toss you the keys.....;-)

Geeze, living by a Rolling Stones song's lyrics! Funny I wear Jerry Garcia ties to work and I never saw ole Jerry ever sport a tie!

At least the boat saying doesn't apply to Speedsters:

"The happiest day for a boat is the day you buy it and the day you sell it" every other day its defined as "a hole in the water in which you throw $$$"

You're on, Dave! :)
