Going back to SSC Thrust for a second. Did you know they're currently working on a car that will break the 1000mph mark? That will be an event not to miss.
I think it's in one of the episodes where they discussed the "super car" "hyper car" thing. A super car being a car that goes fast but also has all your mod cons and could be used as a daily drive whereas a hypercar focussed purely on speed and as such are pretty Spartan on the inside.
I just had a lousy experience at a Nissan dealership. I was looking for a GT-R just to check it out and take a look at it, and that dealer was an unbearable ass. He kept reminding me that "it's VERY expensive" and "it's like a race car." He told me I'd have to give him my information and agree to put down a deposit to even look at the car. Obviously he thought I was a clown and was just giving me the run around. I've just picked the place I'm going for my first oil change when I do get my car (not buying from these jackholes obviously). No one at BMW or Mercedes-Benz ever talked to me this way. This type of thing irritates me, but it's always an excellent source of motivation for me. I'm looking forward to the next time I meet this guy. I'm going to ask him how business is going and whether he's been getting all those big commissions on GT-Rs.
Ive seen one upon close on an airshow once, the dashboard was fully digital, abit like in the newer 737NG series Thing is, for the price of that car you can buy a nice house here lol
I'm finding them used online in the $50K range now. http://autos.yahoo.com/used-cars/nissan-gt_r-cars397395520?sortcol=price&sortdir=up&listingtype=used&model=gt_r&make=nissan&distance=any I should be able to afford that before too long. I'm not keen on purchasing a house right now. If you were familiar with the state I live in, you'd understand. I doubt I'm going to live out the rest of my days here. I'm in a decent area, but it's still hyperconservative and not a place I'd like to stay forever. I just happen to have close relatives here, some of whom have been quite ill in recent years, and I also really like the people where I work. So I'm content to be here for now.
Houses must be ridiculously cheap where you live. Nice houses round here, at the low end start around £2-300k. Aren't all the graphics in the GT-R done by Polyphony Digital?
