supernewb needs to stfu.

There is no such thing as a "nice" Evo MR, talk about a gearbox weaker than a DSM. Also, R34 can not be made legal in the US: Motorex only did the DOT crash testing on the fugly R33. Yes, you can get a title from some dumbass uneducated doesn't care DMV employee in a state with lax titling laws, but if any cop sees the car on American roadways and wants to make beef your R34 is *gone*.

Also, new Slobalt looks good on paper but it's a GM you ------- idiot. Going through major driveline pieces on a Z06 is cute given how those cars perform and what you get for a dollar, but the Slobalt is engineered to the same if not a lesser standard and will come apart frequently.

I am looking for something "newer" that won't necessarily impress anyone but will nice and reliable. I doubt i will be modifying the car at all. It would be nice to have a warranty too. Since i won't be modifying it i would be fine with someone else fixing it when it breaks. I am looking for a fun, safe, reliable daily driver with an emphasis on fun...but this won't be my only car though so it doesn't need to be that fast. Maybe more of a bias towards luxury rather than speed. Time to start test driving these.

Then get the Volvo 740. Your warranty is I'll guarantee none of the parks on it were made in China, and the whole package gives you more troublefree miles than anything manufactured after '97-98.

Except maybe Toyota, their ---- just seems to get better with age. Test drive an is300, see what you think.

I love the late 90's, 2000ish model GS400's...Probaly could pick up a clean one for a reasonable price now as well.

Anything that requires removal of the motor to remove the turbo(s) is a form of fail.

Putting up with S4 owners shitty attitudes is also a pain in the ass.
