This is what I meant!

99 C230K - 0-60mph 7.2 or a lot worse
BMW 330i - 0-60mph 6.3 or less
G35 - 0-60mph 6.2 or less
911 - to 60mph 4.2s - 5.3s - 0-60mph 6.0 one slow 911

The SL600 is, by itself, enough of an excuse to not have a manual trans.

I've had 'one of those' repeatedly trying to smoke my bike and getting pissy about it. Let me think, I got it, he had 20 hp on the bike that should do the trick. Sorry guys but this is - to me - as bad as the next ricer. Actually it's worse, the car being more expensive.

I think the funniest thing to see on the road is a ricer that slammed his s**t box so low that he has no suspenssion and the dope looks like a bobble head while driving his hopped-up lawn mower. :p

If the guy slams his daily ride so low to the ground that he drags his bumper or muffler on the ground and than slows down for every bump or pot hole on the road should be smaked in the back of the head.

there is nothing wrong with modifing stuff as long as it has practical use.Putting on a $500 muffler and $3000 stereo into a $200 s**t box is simply a waste unless it's stolen than it's criminal.

ahh but you dont understand... at least not the drug runners...

see, one month they will have, say, $2k. They buy a $2k car. Next month they had a good month so they have $3k. They buy a $3k stereo/TV system. Next month is a bad month, they only have $1.5k. They buy 2 $750 rims for the front. Next they have a $2.5k month and so they get two $1.25k spinners for the back.

i think tvs in cars is the most useless thing u could ever add to your car (unless your a soccer mom). It defeats the whole purpose of enjoying your vehicle, cars arent meant to be entertainment centers.

well I think that it can be a good thing for passengers on long trips... especially if you have a kid or two... or the swede that I work with but thats a different issue altogether... Anyhow, I also think that it would be great in case you're stuck in traffic while your favorite show is on so that you dont miss it. Can you imgaine what if you were stuck in traffic during the last episode of Friends!? And then there's always the fact that if theres bad weather you can tune in to your local station for weather updates. What if you were driving right into a tornado and didnt have a clue? There are most definitely valid uses for a TV in your car.

I am sure insurance companies would look at that differently.

well im not suggesting you stare at the screen rather than the road. You listen to the radio on occasion, right? Well, it would be like that but peripheral vision would pick up the important bits of the show.
