i hit a patch of ice today

i am on my way home from work coming down sarcee trail turning east onto 16th ave and in the middle of the corner i suddenly am facing the wrong way on the ramp.. luckly there was no one behind me.. and i was doing the limit too...

woo was it that bad? hmmmm.. time to break out the civic....

yea, I hate the snow/cold weather.
I wish Calgary was a warm place year round.
Actually, I don't even care if its warm year round, I just wish there was never ice on the roads.

yeah talk about it! I was on sarcee turning east onto Richmond late one night 1.5 weeks ago and I went it the corner maybe a little too hot and lost traction and bonked my passenger front wheel on the curb! What was weird was that it looked dry! But everything is ok with the car, there is any pull in the steering. Actually I think it might have fixed a slight pull that the car had can't really tell. But it's all good!

hehe I guess so :D!

man it seems Sarcee/Glenmore is a bad road for our cars eh buh_buh!?!
btw did you make it upto Edmonton to see that Z?

Glenmore is the devil!
Yeah, I did go up to Edmonton to see that car, it looks even more amazing in person. I talked the guy down from 21 grand to 19 grand. So I'm probably going to have to take out a loan in order to purchase the car. I think I will. Its worth it I think.

Dude I was up near Peter's Drive in on Friday witha friend and as I'm heading west on 16 just after Peter's I saw prett much the same Z car except in silver! Same wing and everything! Man does it evewr look like a super nice when you actually see it in person!

got any picture of that Z? I saw a few Z this few days, mostly that same Silver one with the body kit and wing, is that the one you are talking about???

The Z looks WAY nicer in person than in the picture.
Here's a couple pics:

Yeah, it's the same one as in buh_buh's pics except silver. It looked sooo sweet:D:D:D!!!

this is just a question, I haven't even bought the car yet, but I just want some opinions. How do you think Skyline R33 tails would look on a Z?
I tried to photoshop it, but it didn't turn out very well. So try to use your imagination.

they would probably look pretty sweet! Yeah, definately sweet :D:D!

actually, I was thinking.... would they even fit? Well I know custom work would have to be done, but maybe they wouldn't even fit properly.
I don't know....

there is the possibility that they may not fit. But custom work can fix just about anything. Unless they actual housing that you see from the back of the light doesn't fit. That's a hard oen to guess on 'cause the outside lights are pretty big. Maybe just have to try, 'cause it might be kinda hard (not impossible) to find the diameter of the R33 lights.

yeah after careful consideration, I think I'm not going to get the Z anymore. I don't think I want to pay that much for a 12 year old car. So I think I might just get a 5th gen 'lude. I love Hondas, and I can't go wrong with another Prelude right? This way I know that nothing will go wrong with it (hopefully since its a newer car).

good choice!!!

I also test drove the RSX today, and I've gotta say I'm pretty impressed with it. The exterior styling isn't too impressive (although its grown on me, I HATED it in the beginning, but now I sort of like it), but the interior looks amazing! Very impressive. I was also very impressed with the drive itself (not as good as the Prelude though), It handles very well, and although the base model doesn't have that much power, I believe the type-s has sufficient power.
I think I'm going to test drive a couple more cars before I make a real decision, but I'm already leaning towards the Prelude. I want to check out the Subaru WRX, and the Accord coupe too. Any other suggestions?

the 300zx will cost you an arm and leg on mainatanence the all wheel drive train is kinda easy to break and that is hell expensive to fix, i was gonna et a 92 tt 300zx before i got my hatch but hen the guy showed me his services reoports and man he had like spent at least 4 grand in reapair nissan is a good company but there sports car were amde to be tuned so the origanl parts wernt made to last they were just there as temporary peices or al least thats how i look at it

If I can afford a WRX I would hehe, a few of my coworkers are all set to get one (either RS / TS / wrx). The only problem I have with it is Price, its expensive as it is and the aftermarket parts is even more expensive.... But if you can afford it, go for it, its definitly a unique car!

I hate to say it but maybe try a Celica. I have heard mixed reviews on the new body type. But the one two body types ago, the one with the flip up lights looks pretty good. Only get it though if you can find the GT-four (all wheel drive turbo). I've only seen one over here but I did see a couple when I was in Japan. Unfortunately it's probably harder to find than that Z car.

But Honda is always a good and safe bet:D:D!
