I don' think I will be getting Forza 3 anytime soon, because the second one had so much content that I am still not done with it.
I want a 360 for Forza 3. Can't wait for GT5 to be released.

No one here even knows what they are or who they are made by, except you.
I think Vector something. [editline]08:22PM[/editline] Also, made a rally car in Forza 2 just now. :v If anyone wants to race, add me, GT SHoGuNN3R.

[QUOTE=NOR_92;16600929]Never seen them before. And that last one really looks like a Lamborghini Countach.[/QUOTE] Except it has a twin turbocharged V8 with a 3 speed automatic. Very strange car. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyC3XEXuJRM[/media] (ride along)
3 speed? Jesus christ, that is utterly useless.
[QUOTE=DrMortician;16601074]Except it has a twin turbocharged V8 with a 3 speed automatic.[/QUOTE] Ooh, nice.
[QUOTE=dcalde78;16601147]3 speed? Jesus christ, that is utterly useless.[/QUOTE] Not as bad as it may seem. You ever heard of a powerglide? Those are 2 speeds and they're popular in drag racing. I'm not sure about the torque converter in the vector, because it seemed pretty slow in the video. But normally if you couple a fairly high stall with a transmission like that you'll still be turning better numbers than a manual.
Yeah. The important word there is DRAG racing. As in, going in a straight line for 1/4 of a mile as fast as possible.
[QUOTE=dcalde78;16601425]Yeah. The important word there is DRAG racing.

The only bad thing about an automatic built specifically for drag racing is that you're reving the crap out of it in normal traffic just to get rolling, because the stall speed is so high. You might as well forget running one on a road course, but realistically hardly anyone will ever do that in their lifetime anyway.

Yuck.
Horrible BMW SUVs? What?! Have you seen an x6?
[QUOTE=SHoGuNN3R;16602121]Horrible BMW SUVs? What?! Have you seen an x6?[/QUOTE] That one's actually quite nice. I was referring to the everyday sub-urban ones you see everywhere.
X3/5?

I have a blue one with new black rims and a white stripe across the top... resembling the bumblebee look.. except its blue and white. I don't mind driving it. It's got a V6 at least.
[QUOTE=Apocalypsox;16574021]You won't find a good anything through a dealer. they jack the price up on everything. Buy something from a person, off of craigslist or something. Much better deals.[/QUOTE] The listings for KC are the same thing, nothing under 100k miles that isn't about $10000, well there actually are a few but for the same prices a dealer would ask for if you haggled enough.
Haggled and took a mechanic with you to point out mechanical defects.
Here's my "new" car, a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. My grandparents bought this car for my mom back in the 80s as her first car. She drove it to death, quite literally. Then she left it in the backyard for 18 years. [media][img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/firebird_2.jpg[/img][/media] [media][img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/firebird_3.jpg[/img][/media] We actually started working on it a couple years ago, but when we told her about it she was like "WTF THAT'S MY CAR" as if she had actually cared about the thing all this time. By this time we had already put over $1000 in the engine. [media][img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/firebird_1.jpg[/img][/media] EVERYTHING on the engine is new. New pistons, distributor, water pump, etc. Pretty much the only thing that's original is the block itself. Water had gotten in through the carburetor and fucked EVERYTHING up. Had to break the pistons off because they had rusted to the walls so much. Recently we started working on it again. Tore out the old shitty carpet, took out seats, broke an armrest off with a hammer etc [media][img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/firebird.jpg[/img][/media] also you can see the Garfield stickers my mom had put in the car Anyway I had to buy the thing from her. For $800. And my old go-kart thing.:argh: Right now all the engine really needs is a carburetor, some belts, a radiator and probably some other stuff Also here's the car I drive now, it's a 2007 Ford Focus COVERED in pawprints.
