Random ass car whoring thread.

I was informed of what my car situation is gonna be a couple months ago. So I have 2.5 to 3 years left with the Accord or when I graduate college. I have been driving a RX330 for a while now though. Back on topic to car whores. I'm entertaining the idea of a Z71 Tahoe then on the complete opposite end of the spectrum a M3 convertible. Part of me wants function and utility and the other part wants to go FAST! I could always swap a LS7 in a Tahoe, haha! I'm sure I will change my mind 300 times before I actually pull the trigger.

Although its not a car i was thinking of adding a honda ruckus into my collection any of you guys ever experience one?

One of my friends has one that he rides around campus that I have driven. It is pretty fun... It will go about 40 and it is comfortable for short distances. I remember Tim saying that you can mod them.

Mazda turbos are shitty, stay away, speaking from personal experience...google it, you'll see

[b_beau_09]

Jer, I remember you had issues with that cx-7 right?  I was hoping that maybe the speed3 engine would be a bit upgraded..

[slipkord]

Same engine in the cx7, speed3, and speed6, oil leaks past the turbo through the exhaust. It's called a 'smoking turbo'. I would stay far away if I were you.

Ok so I have a wandering eye lately, on the way home from work I saw a caddy, thoughts on a 2007 cadalliac CTS sport? 3.6L 255hp V6, blk on blk lthr,bigger wheels,brakes, stiffer suspension, etc.

Meh.

[slipkord]

I dunno, I kinda like it

[CrackerTeg]

Yet another meh.

Had one as a rentel on a business trip. Horrible on gas but super comfortable. Ive heard cost of ownership is high.

[slipkord]

Figured since it was GM

My uncle had that body style CTS with the 200 hp 3.2L V6.  Fun car, but not really anything to write home about. This bigger engine might have changed my mind, but I cannot say, for sure.


So this won't be happenin any time soon, but I've been considerin my next car.  I'd like to hold onto the Accord, and once its paid off pick somethin else up.  I figure that by the time I'm ready (i.e. better job, accord paid off, home of my own) the 4th Gen TL 6MT's ('10 or '11) should be down to my price range.  I was considering getting one as a daily and projecting my Accord (aka finally getting the CT kit ).  But another thought popped into my head the other day thats always been there.  Keep the Accord as my daily and pick up a project S2k and probably get that Turbo jawn or an s/c.  Which do you guys think?  The S2k would def be cheaper to buy, but the mod bug would hit hard. lol.
