Lastwish.. what all did you hear that was bad about the Eclipse? Was it an older model or a newer model? The 90-93 models are different from the 94-current models.


Well, I assume that the older they are, the more worn they are--the people that complained had early 90s and one of them had a 95 or 96 3000gt.

Today me and my brother and my friend went to a city near us, We went to get a test drive of a car, Today we chose the new VW Golf GT TDI (all red letters) It is 180 BHP with a 2.0 Turbo engine.

My brother asked the guy if we could drive it and he said yeah no problem go ahead, we at least thought he was going to jump in with us but NO, He said here ya go guys, handed my brother the guys, I coudln't keep a straight face!! We started doing hand breaks and malarkey, limiting the malarkey out of the thing, spinning off lol.

Here she is :D



By the way, the car is worth 18,050GBP

I don't know if there is anything wrong with them mechanically, but they just aren't an appealing vehicle to me.

I don't see how you guys STAND to have a 4 cylinder or a v6 for that matter.  I have a 350 5 speed 89 silverado with headers cam hurst shifter flowmaster turn downs,  at least get a GT or something.  The next vechile I get is hopefully a mach1 mustang because my friend already has a lightning which I would rather have over a mach1 but...

Um.. not everyone has as much money as you do.. and uh, what kind of gas mileage do you get with a silverado anyways? heh.. I used to have a 93 Chevy S-10.

Btw, I do you have a picture of it? I wanna see..

This is a senior portrait so this is the best I can do of it.. I have an older one with not much done if you want to see that let me know.  It gets about 15 mpg but if I punch it, it gets about 2 mpg :).. My parents only paid 4000 for the truck and I've paid for the rest.  I'm paying payments on my four wheeler - 2004 Yamaha Raptor - runs 85 mph top end. 140$ a month for 5 years heh..

money shouldn't be an object newbie, if you know how to work on a vehicle, you can take a $200 junk yard car and spend about $3000 on it and put in some hours on it... it would be street worthy and built your way.

i have a vr6 in my car, so screw ya all, i can still waste ya in the straights and the curves.  and don't dis the 4's bub, they get 34-40 mpg in town... even after punching it. :P  I just got done with a tune job on my mom's honda CRV, it will now get an added 4 mpg in town... it was doing 32-36, the computer estimates it at 36-42 now.  the 4's may not have the midrange torque or the midrange anything for that matter, but they do have the gas mileage.

Hehe true, I wouldn't mind having extra money that I spend on gas laying around. I sometimes spend 20$ a week in gas depends on how much I drive.  I try to drive to a place and sit there, then when someone says lets go riding I say I have no gas therefore they drive. :)
BTW Jonah is hosting my pic dunno wtf he did.
