Sports/Sporty cars at work (or school)

[Raza]

Yeah, so, my buddy down at Clemson told me yesterday that someone down there has a TVR...

As an investment, you'd probably have to look into distressed properties, which you can get on the cheap, but then to fix them up and resell or rent them, it would take more money, or a whole lot of do-it-yourself time and work.

Again, the distressed property would still be around 200k min and would not be in a liveable condition.  Basically, it would cost a lot of money to buy a condemned house, fix it up to a liveable condition, and then resell it.  Again, this is Los Angeles i'm talking about, land value is driving up the prices of the houses, the land itself on the distressed properties is probably worth a lot more than the houses that's sitting on it.

But anyways, back to original topic

In HS  ... way back in the days... we've had

NSX, 944, 3000GT, Supra Turbo, Rx7, M3s, Mustang GTs, Camaro SS, T/A, and a bunch of non sporty expensive cars.  This was back in the early/mid 90s though

In College, I haven't noticed any sporty cars that's noteworthy, but then again, i don't go to school that often :P

I saw a Viper on campus (SRT-10) but when I talked to the kid, he told me it wasn't his.  It was a "Risky Business" moment.

A lot of typical stuff at school with a handful of loud Civics, a new Civic si that is in process of being pimped up, a WRX, who I just heard the owner saying "It's gonna look so sick with a carbon fiber spoiler and hood scoop", a red TT, a 4.0 auto 05 Stang with red calipers, a 84ish Town Car that runs like shit, and probably some other stuff I haven't seen yet.

What he stole it ?

It's his dad's.  Have you ever seen Risky Business?

Yes, I forgot.  LA's fucking expensive.

No.  Do you advise the seeing of it?

I'm moving away next year (Because, even if I wanted to, I couldn't live at home), except my parents are willing to pay for my apartment.

I'll most likely get a roommate, though.

Wow.  I was visiting Cornell two years ago and saw a sweet, yellow Lotus Esprit.  I'd never seen a Lotus of any type in the flesh before.  I also saw a Chevy EV1 there, which is another vehicle I don't think I've ever seen in the flesh before.  But from the amount of dust that had accumulated on it, I'd say it hadn't moved in a while.  Batteries were probably dead  :D .

SL55 AMG's
E55 AMG's
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo's
tons of Porsches
tons of BMW M3's
Jaguar XKR's
a million Ferrari 360 Modena's

...and so much more...

There are three STis at my brother's office.

Probably all victory blue, eh? It must be fun watching the dudes try to figure out which car is theirs at the end of the day. :D

I just verified.  They're different colors.

And try picking a gray Passat out of a crowd of gray Passats...

I feel like I'm living in a Saab commercial.

One time I saw a 16-ish year old kid driving a Dodge Ram SRT-10 with a buddy in the car...the father of that kid must either be very stupid or has a lot of trust in his son...

I knew two kids who had Corvettes when they were juniors in high school...you'd be surprised.
