I wanted something that was: fast, luxurious, could comfortably seat four was no more than two years old, and had a great warranty.

2005 Cadillac CTS-V
400hp/400tq
fully loaded
seats four and has a large trunk
6yr 100k mile warranty

I also love the fact that they car is rare and kind of a sleeper. I love driving cars that you don't see very often. I could have a really fast evo with the same money, but everybody has one of those.

I always loved widebody 911's. Super troopers and bad boys 1 didnt make it any easier to forget about them! So, when I sold my old house 3 yrs. ago I ended up making some dough and at the same time I came across a good deal on one. It needed a little work but it ran perfect because the previous owner dumped 25K into the motor before he ran into some financial problems. I figured they are getting harder and harder to come by and the value just keeps going up so I jumped on it. I Put another 15K into it so far and I couldnt be happier! I figured if I ever decide to sell it and get a newer one, I wont lose any money. But I dont plan on selling it anytime soon, I love it!

When Final Fantasy 11 came out, I've seen people sell their lvl 75 characters from 1000-2000 easily hahahah

P.S. what was funny was when those ppl bought those characters, they didn't know a single thing about the game....noob! hahaha

I bought my truck because my old truck blew up. I got a pretty sweet deal on this one. And now its turned into sort of an obsession to make it faster and handle better than a car.

bought my Civak because it was

1)USDM
2)gas saver
3)slow
4)cheap on insurance and etc.


wanted to get:

-an STi or an Evo but payments were about 600 dollars + insurance was about 400-500 alone with clean record.

-Cobalt SS supercharged/Neon SRT4 were quick but the interior was too typically/tacky/cheap rental car looking.

-Then I decided to go with a Blue RSX type S but everyone had one with the type R wing... so I decided to have the new 06 Si since nobody had it but now everyone has one! haha
