Er - I don't drive in DFW traffic. I live out in horse country. This is not for me personally. I'm having a blast with my row boat.

Of the two, definitely the first one. Both are the correct color. Huge difference in mileage. First one is a little overpriced. Second one is $8,000 overpriced. For a tippy cab, I don't like all of the mods the second one has.

Looks like the first one is a nicer car, although I didn't see any interior shots.

Are the side turbo vents added to the C4? I didn't think they had them. That car is too personalized for my taste.

I think the first one looks really nice. I've seen the second car on 6speed before. I don't recall who owns it. Personally, I think the second car is a bit over the top on mods. I wouldn't buy that car.

Good luck with your (second) search!

It depends on your feeling on mods. Some people like them, some don't. I wouldn't pay extra for the mods on that car. In my opinion, the mods detract from the value of the car and I would expect a discount. If the mods are done in a style that you like and they are things that you would do to the car anyway, then I agree with your comment.

Come on doc, he was just trying to be funny. Probably not the best choice of subject matter, but I seriously doubt he was trying to make you look bad. If he was, then you're correct and he owes you an apology.

Maybe he can work the 9/11 attack into the next post? Prolly a lot of good holocaust material still out there. Not that my sense of humor is finely tuned or anything, but really - editing my post to suit his demeaning of minorities in the 996 tech discussion forum. Sad.

I feel like doc won't stand for these types of attacks, much like the twin towers.
