Hey - Again

Been a long time sense I posted. so Hey! Did you guys miss/remember me - did not think so

Well, my lovely wife gave me the nod to buy another car and trade the P5. Looked at the new Z, G35 coupe, and checking out the new RX8 (on paper only). You see, I was getting flustrated with the P5. Could use more power, and front drive sucks. That was a couple of months ago.

Now, I have a illness that could get me down in a couple of years. So, I decide to have fun and enjoy life. OK, so off to have fun with the P5. I am a die hard rear drive fan - big time. Well I started learning to drive this thing FAST! I have autocrossed for years and love to slide a car. Now the P5 stays at 4000 RPM+ and my tires are gone at 15,000 miles. This car is a HOOT to slide through corners at 60 MPH+.

Things about the P5 that keeps me from a new G35.
1. This car is built very well. It is rock solid! Never had a car feel so tight and well made - and I have had a bunch.
2. It is just plain FUN.
3. It looks great. Guards at the gates comment, ladies at the drive through, people at work. I get a "you car looks great" every week.
4. It fits my needs perfect with kids and all my hobbies.
5. The price is right. I seem to have more fun driving a 16K car then a 35K car. If I smack it up, I can get another one.

Future - Man, if the RX8 has the same build quality as this P5.........

Have a great day all. And please enjoy your car ... keep the RPM's up.
