Doubt it. I don't think NASCAR drivers know how to turn the steering wheel to the right.
If you have a class of car in mind, like a midsize, it would be worth reading reviews for models you are interested in and skimming over parts you don't care about. Good reviews should compare the model they are reviewing to others within its class on things like noise, comfort, and features/trim levels.

You'll have to have an idea for what cars you're looking for first, but you should be able to find comparisons of NVH between cars (Noise, Vibration, Harshness).

Thanks, Grenadier, Smokey - the ownership experience has already exceeded expectations. The best part is all of the smiles and positivity it brings out of people.

*giggles* youtube comments make it seem like its some model, would have been funny if it was JG.
Was this PSX-Extreme era shit?
Just did. That would certainly be sweet.

PSXE, yeah. I had an extra copy of HSG3 to give away. Made a thread back in 2002, first post wins it. Just so happened it was Mashoutposse. I was a senior in high school at the time, he rolled by in his Prelude, picked up the game and that's how we met, IRL and stayed in touch since.
I became really good friends with another GAFer similarly, but that was at E3 where we were handing out ketchup packets to all of the hoarders.
Did you have another handle that you remembered me and PSXE, ShowDog?

None whatsoever. You getting an APR unit? If so, you won't be disappointed.
I used to post there around 03-04, I don't remember my handle at the time tbh. It was getting a bit stale over there and I remember you talking about jumping ship to GAF around that time, despite it being your own website, and I scoped it out here and I've been ever since.

Heh, I suppose I was one of the earlier writers who also frequented on GAF? 12 years ago is a long damn time ago. Now everyone's doing it. -_-
But my focus still remained content for PSXE, though. Until I was totally burned out playing hundreds of games a year and writing that much, where it just made me a cranky "gamer" asshole.

Here's the full session of him passing me and then me saying "fuck it! it's on..." and then reeling him back in.

Fun traffic passing also.
I honestly dont see what people see in the 430. Or even the 360. They are too bubbly. Like they tried to make a modern 250LM and it just looks clunky.
The same goes for the designs after 575M and 456. Im not criticizing the mechanics of those cars because theres not much better than them but stylistically Ferrari lost the plot.

The number #1 rule of car-guy-dom is not to diss someone's new car. The 430 was a pretty car at the time but it's in that awkward period for cars from 5-15 years old where it's just old enough to look dated but not old enough to look striking and different. Give it 10 years and the 360 and 430 will look pretty rad.
Personally I'm pumped that someone picked one up, congrats mashout.

I don't recall if he had an S2000 (maybe it's slipping my mind). But he had a Civic first and an E46 M3 last.
congratulations on that awesome car!

How quickly do you go through tires?
You don't want to drive the FWD precursor to the GenCoupe.

Thanks for the congrats, guys.
To those who have qualms with the F430's aesthetics, I hear you. I think the issue is that, as car guys on the internet, we've "seen" everything under the sun and have gotten used to the look of these cars. On the street, my experience has been that the general populace reacts extremely positively to the way the F430 looks. The response has actually been quite surprising - the car attracts far more attention that I could have ever anticipated.
Car history - Civic, Prelude, E46 M3, E92 M3, F430.

That's the thing about exotics. It doesn't matter if it's an older exotic, that shit still turns heads.
Although buying a red Ferrari -- I don't know what you expected lol

I remember the first 3, I didn't know you had an E92 M3? Must've not been that long.
It is a bad ride?

.
About 2 tracks days or 10 heat cycles now that my pace is competitive enough to place either 1st or 2nd at both tracks when looking at time trial results with NASA.
A lot of it does depend on pace. I need to switch to Hoosiers or slicks. Not only will I go much faster but they last longer and are actually cheaper.

Right - I had the V8 M3 for approximately six months. Excellent car - there's nothing at that price range that I'd rather have.
