For those of you NOT into cars/bikes

I realize a crappy cell phone camera pic of my garage isn't up to Alex23 "postapic" standards, but for these purposes it will do.

I admit defeat.

Not a fan of the 550i but love the SL.

And the original point was NOT to buy a POS and dump or mod $20k into it.  It was to appreciate nice cars to begin with.

Civic + $20,000 in mods = still piece of shit.

I'll admit bikes can be far more impressive than cars in some ways.

My problem is going over 80 on my 650R and getting nervous but 140 in my Mach?  No problem.

i have 2 2001 Honda 929rr's one is turbo and otherwise stock/ the other has full exhaust intake cams etc etc etc

and a month ago i re-bought my favorite bike of all time my 2004 Kawasaki zx10 i just sent the engine off to be bored 2mm i have a set of intake cams and 230# springs, and forged pistons, and rods coming for it. i already installed a full racing akro exhaust and power commander v, and a homemade nitrouse kit (50 shot) the tranny is undercut, it has been re-geared, i already got mono lock brakes on it etc etc etc. except for my last hayabusa this will probably be the fastest bike i have ever owned, and if it isn't it will probably still be my favorite.

my N/A Honda overheated on me at the track a few days ago... i haven't even looked at it to see whats wrong yet, but since its a Honda its probably nothing, their bikes are usually bullet proof and therefor perfect for me since i tend to be a little hard on them.

[HTexan]

just get a range rover sport. It sexy, rugged, classy, and keeps it value. plus when the zombies attack, it makes a great end of the world machine. 
it's kind of like Rose McGowan mixed with Angelina Jolie in the car world.
a 66 mustang fastback would be megan fox.

I drive a 550i.  Also have a Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, and wife has a SL550.  What do you drive that's so much better?   

550i, about to be replaced, the 2010 5 series is hot, don't know about the 5 series GT. The SL550 (if this is the current one) nose is ugly (regarded many to be), you don't try putting a CLS nose on the SL, the dual oval headlamps were classic.

But overall I say you have good taste. I'd take the SL550 over the 550i, due to the fact that the BMW lacks a Limited Slip Differential, only the M-series cars get those.

Bench, what do you think about them starting to add ABS and traction control on the bikes, particularlly the liter bikes, Some of Ducatis models has traction control that retards spark, I think that is on the 1098S, but the Demo's is diff, I forgot wht the 1198 has. Honda's ABS system I believe adds 20+ pounds to the bike. Is it worth it?

And what do you think of the BMW S1000RR, their new liter sportbike?

I drive an early 2000's Camry.   Cars only depreciate in value, and are used for getting you from point A to point B.  I am all for people who are into cars, and take pride in them, thats fine. But stating that its stupid to drive an eco friendly, fuel efficient vehicle just because it ain't stylish... well, thats a sure sign of a moron. Another sure sign of a moron is superficiality.  People who put great worth in clothes, cars, etc... are usually really unintelligent.  They don't know how to find pleasure in greater intellectual activities like literature, art, music, philosophy etc, so they look for concrete things like "which car is faster?"  Another sure sign of stupidity is judging people by the cars they drive.  I could go on and on with this, but really... cars? pieces of metal that move? who cares?

Before cars, men cared more for their horses, which were transportation from A to B, but they wanted the fastest, the prettiest, the hardiest. So they bred them to be that way. Along the same lines, dogs as well. When carriages were invented, they then cared about those and the complexity of them.

I have met people who have tons of cars, but know very little about them, and because of this they don't share the  euphoria nor the camradrie that "car guys" have. I too like literature, art, music, philosophy, but I appreciate the science and engineering it takes to produce a Ferrari of any vintage, or a Shelby Cobra. I appreciate the lines of a Lamboghini Muira and how that car put Lambo on the map of exotic cars.
