Well...I don't feel too-too bad...

[carrrnuttt]

...about being forced to give-up the SE-R, although I still wish I had one (and I will again).

After 3 weeks of owning the comfy Olds, I can say that it makes my 67-mile total daily commute seem a lot less longer.

And I have at least proven that the car is faster than:

• Some young punk in a Taurus that kept cutting me off, and finally got his.
• A riced-out, fart-canned, mid '90s Altima
• A newer Integra non-VTEC, at least off-the-line, as we both gunned for a merge.
• A Dodge Avenger V6.

And all the while, I am surrounded by comfy leather, a Bose sound-system, and automatic climate-control.

I can only imagine what it would be like to have 100X the luxury, and prestige, and 200X the speed. Now I can truly understand the AMG Mercedes hype.

I only wish I could shift for myself. I've never been an automatic kind of guy.

This totally confirms my thought. I would like to spend the most on a nice family sedan, good speed, great comfort, and the rest on a "cruiser"...say a Stang or Camaro (modded of course). As you're finding out, leather and climate control are indeed very nice substitues for power. Maybe.

I guess you have your ups and downs. But I would take performance over comfort any day. That's just me though. Late...

BWHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA

its funny cause its true

trust me i drive a "fast civic"

[CivRacer95]

I used to own a Trans Am remember? This is just my "economy car". Every now and then I take out my old mans 3kgt too. But I would prefer to have a Trans Am back. late...

Lol, some Civics are fast though. That was funny.

[TypeS]

I know how you feel, so that's why I drive what I drive.

I'd rather have heated leather seats in the winter and navigation and be just a little slower than these V8s instead of having a little more power that I won't need anyway 95% of the time.

That little more power that true performance cars could give me don't outweigh the comfort of a luxury sports car.

[Sleepr awd]

my eclipse is comfortable power...i dont' know if you've ever sat in the new ones but the seats are awesome! the infinity sound system has it going on, the shifting is smooth the clutch is easy. however i've been driving my mom's concorde around for the last month and a half bcuz of my scrape w/ a curb though and i would give anything to have my car back right now...looks like the new rims will be in by friday though and i'll get to test out the new intake :-D

[CassiesMan]

When I test drove the new GT-S, one of the things I noticed was that the seats were very comfortable for the size of the car, and that it was quite a bit more roomy than the Stang I had been looking at.

[Sleepr awd]

yeah i'm getting the new GTS rims, its gunna look much sweeter than the stocker alloy's

[CassiesMan]

Yeah, that was one of the reasons I wanted the GTS. In fact, one of the few reasons I didn't get one is that they didn't have the color I wanted, and it would have taken them like, half a year to get it or something like that...btw, do you know what happened on 70 last night? Me and some buds were going to go see Oceans 12 (greatmovie, everyone should see it), and traffic was backed up to all hell...

[Sleepr awd]

not a frickin' clue!!! but i do know i about made the 6th of a group of 3 hot girls and 2 guys, they were going to see oceans 12 and invited me but i had to take the ACT the next morning...that SUCKED that and my gf wouldn't be happy about it....:-/ but you shoulda seen the girls ahhhhh jaw drop

btw WHAT color could you have wanted?!?! i like the dark grey on eclipses w/ the GTS rims looks hella sweet

and my feminine side likes the baby blue .... i almost bought one in baby blue....
