[Shotimes] Re: 300 hp

[Jonathan Zane]

Dreaming is good,  I almost financed a 1995 2 Door Manual Trans with 80k
miles for $20k before I bought my stang.  It was a really good deal.  I'm
kinda glad I didn't because that would probably be my only car to this day
and I'd be eating rice and beans for every meal.  Some day I will have one
though.  I can see myself in a 2003 M3.  My parents, who have owned nothing
but fords for as long as I can remember, just bought a 325.  Very nice car,
although they haven't let me behind the wheel yet. ;-)  My most expensive
vehicle to date would be My Raptor... Hey at least it's a Yamaha!
