Lotus Elise = 190hp
Acura RSX-S = 200hp
Acura RDX = 240hp

Total 630hp

And the performance is the inverse of the hp of the power. 

That's the way I like to look at things, which is why Accent > Elise.

Okay, I'll play.

Honda Odyssey 2.2 = 140 horsepower.

Total: 340 horsepower.

The Volvo's 162 horses are dead, so I won't count them.

2010 Mercedes E350 CGI = 292-horsepower

Yes, I replaced my RWD, automatic, alloy wheeled, white exterior, beige leather interior sedan with an aspirational badge with another RWD, automatic, alloy wheeled, white exterior, beige leather interior sedan with an aspirational badge!

The Mighty Volvo has been relegated to lawn ornament status behind my house because I haven't figured out what to do with it yet.  I just can't bear to send it to the scrapper.  It's too good for that.

BTW, any idea where I can get an Opel Omega grille and a set of badges and wheel centre caps?  I've had no luck on eBay.  Since you're in Germany, I assume finding these items would be easy, right?

I check the SOTW thread once in awhile but I must have missed that part where you said you bought a Catera. I saw the post where you were checking out and drove it etc. Congrats on the car! An interesting choice I must say given how you're not exactly a friend of most post-1970 American cars. Well the Catera is a German car - literally, but still.  :lol:

You want Opel Omega badges and a grille for your Catera? You serious?  :lol:

My dad has his Mercedes 500SL serviced at an Opel dealer (cheaper than a Benz dealer). I'm sure they have a lot of Opel spare parts lying around, including badges. If you want I can put you into contact with the owner but I need to get the contact details from my dad. Also, I can visit local Opel dealers and look for Omega badges etc.

Yes, I'm serious.  I need the grille, wheel centre caps, the Opel "Blitz" badge on the trunk and one for the steering wheel boss, and the "Opel" and "Omega 3.0 V6" badge for the rear.  Used parts would be okay, too.  Let me know if you can find any.  Thanks!  :ohyeah:
