My GTi is running fine. Although I'm thinking of trading in and getting
one of these:

Now there's a Rabbit that 'll *really* hop.
And convert to run on Natural Gas.

My God. How delightful it would be to dance on twisty mountain roads of
New Jersey with this magnificent beast.
Of course, I'd order this cute accessory Bunny as a companion.

And I have to hear it daily ad nauseam on the radio out of NYC with the
ad ending "not available in NJ or Mass". IIRC, upon reading a consumers
website a while ago, it stated that their rates were not any cheaper
than the rest of the thieves. Almost as annoying as those 'Onstar' ads
featuring dolts who somehow manage to lock their keys inside the car
alone or along with children. Some even while the auto is still
running.
How does one accomplish such a feat if the remote locking is on the
_key_ ring???

All these V6 and V8 engines are OK, but I'm still waiting for someone to put
out a nice sports car with an INLINE V6. Now that would be ultra cool.
Screw the "V" format, give me something that will rev SMOOTHLY beyond 6K.
VRRRRRrrrrrrrOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!! Heck, even Chevy put out an SUV
recently with an Inline 6. I was drooling. Didn't like the platform,
though. And of course, no real tranny available -Dave

Toyota Supra TT? Or is that a V6 as well?

Do you know about Bimmers Dave? They have everything you want! Great
cars too. Given that you seem to be a fairly "aggressive" driver
(kudos to you), the M3 might be right up your street. Fast,
responsive, awesome handling, inline six, real tranny (6sp). But
then, at 74 grand with cloth seats (!), it had better be darn good.

Wouldnt the "boxer", with opposing, coplanar cylinders be a better
design? Subaru has a 6 cyl boxer engine, it is called H I believe, on
their Outback (?) model.

Yeah, if I thought they weren't terribly overpriced, I'd consider one. I
have nothing against bimmers at all, just don't see the value in them
(compared to the competition), even if they do have the inline 6, real
tranny, etc. I mean, it would be child's play to put out a nice 2005 or
later smallish sedan (not coupe, not hatchback, not mini-SUV, not two-door
with false back seat) with powerful inline 6, manual tranny, possibly even
REAR wheel drive with limited slip differential AND keep the price down to
say ~$35 K or less. Easy! Why it hasn't been done is a real mystery, as
that puppy would probably outsell the top ten (camry?, taurus, etc.)
combined, in the U.S. at least. -Dave
