Try a G35. What year you considering? jPod.

Make sure it has a spoiler though, unlike the one pictured.

G35 is nice. My dad had a BMW M3... think it was the 99 model... but yeah, it's a nice car, though when driving it, it didn't really feel as smooth as I would've liked.

Ehhh, Id take a Mustang GT over that.
 
[quote name='dcfox']WTF? You play shooters?[/quote]
Yeah. DoD is really the only shooter I play, and the only online game I play anymore. I'm addicted to it though.
 
Mustangs are ok, but there are just too fucking many of them. Not to mention I wouldn't buy anything Ford with their current financial status. You could get a good deal because they need the money, but if their shit tanks(Which is unlikely, but look at UA), your SOL.

DoD?

[quote name='nharmon91']BTW what dont you like about them again, so that I will look for that stuff when I test drive it.[/QUOTE]I don't like the way the handling feels in the slightest. It's too stiff and is constantly trying to center itself far too hard.
As for the dash (at least the one in my dad's 325i), the controls are very different from your standard cars, and not in a good way. All the window and door controls are on the center panel (next to the stick), and all the other standard controls (AC, lights, etc) are in different places than normal.
The dash is also slightly angled towards the driver side (for convenience, I suppose), which drives me nuts, as I'm very particular about lines (odd, I know). That, and while your backing out, if the dash is straight relative to the parking spot you're in, your car isn't. I almost scratched my dad's car because of that. Very annoying.

And the RX-8 > you, your mother, and Mustangs.

you must smoke fuckin crack or something. the rx8 has a 1.8L rotary engine and gets 32mpg highway 30mpg city. it has the torque of a corvette but has fewer moving parts than any other car on the market so they're less likely to break. it also has one of the shortest throw gear shifts currently in existance since they put the drive train right under the shifter, making it even more effecient. not to mention it's all wheel drive and smooth as all shit. i fell in love with them at the 2004 NY international auto show and test drove them a couple of times. back in November when i got my new car, i would've gotten that instead if i could've afforded it. not to mention, mazda now has the most crazy "standard" options, such as power everything, 6CD in dash changer, radio and cruise control buttons on the steering wheel, and 17" low profile alloys.

You have a Mazda 6 like myself (although mine's a couple years older, IIRC), right Chika?

yup. 2007. i went in to the dealership expecting to look at a 3, but because of their pricing being more affordable than hondas, i was able to get the mazda6 at the price of a civic, when the 6 is actually more comparable to the accord in size and options.

as of this year, they decided to drop their prices across the board by 2% and add those "options" as standard to make their cars more attractive to people who would've gone for a honda or toyota, whose the base models are bare bones (crank windows etc.) so not only do they have CRAZY more features when you're doing a comparison of base-models, they're also 1-2% less expensive.

Welp, back to the Great Scobie Purge of Spring/Summer '07...

ATI + Linux = bad. ATI refuses to put out Linux drivers, so you're gonna have some trouble.
 
Where's PlumeNoir so I can rub it in his face that I got over this "devastating bug" in just a few days with barely any symptoms? :lol:

[quote name='nharmon91']So Chika god of cars, maker of the universe. What do you think of beamers[/quote]
depends on the model. some are nice, some suck. not an expert on them though. being that i'm poor, i haven't wasted much time on fantasizing on them since i know there's not a snowball's chance in hell that i can afford one. with the RX8, there was actually a possibility that i could've gotten one, and have it reasonably equipted. unfortunately, my last car was rear-ended and totalled so i needed a new car ASAP. i knew it was getting old and had 150k on it, so i was looking at new cars and saving up for a sizable downpayment. unfortunately, i only had about $1000 saved up when i got hit and with so little downpayment, i couldn't afford the monthy payments.

They put out drivers. At least, I have drivers. My card isn't exactly new though.

Wish I could switch back to a vertical alignment. Siiigh.

Hmm, that's new. I'm used to ATI being twats to the Linux community. Maybe something since they're owned by AMD now.
