This is my present car. I bought it new in August 2000 with 26 miles on it. This pic was taken fall of the same year from The Blue Ridge parkway in North Carolia where I lived in Asheville.

Some have asked me why the light blue metallic color...because i am a firm believer in fast or aggressive colors net more police tickets. I have been pulled over a few times in this car and only received a warning. Plus its easier to keep clean, though the light gray interior is a pain.

My life is like the movie Office Space

a 3.1 is crap, not powerful at all really. My friend has a 1960 something transam with a 454 in it, thats equivilent to a 6.6 Liter, he also has a 1970 with a 350 in it.

My dad drives a 1998 GMC with a 350 vertec in it, and my mom drives a 2003 Taurus that has 225 horsepower.

remember though, its not always about the horsepower, low end torque is key also weight, a taurus, is a heavy car. I am also guessing it is an automatic which doesnt help much.
then again when ya look at some cars its scarey, the Dodge viper i believe has 500hp, but has two choices of gears, close gearing with high torque means it will burn anything off the starting line, but it has a low top speed, where as the further spaced gears with lower torque might be slower off the line but its got a phenominal top speed.
all depends on how the manufacturer utilises the HP and engine size.
i believe thats correct, feel free to pick apart that which is wrong:)

I've driven one before, and I'm somewhat proud to say that I fit... comfortably.
