Why would you buy a GT3 and then never race/track it?

I feel like you do, Sid: "I will own one one day, mark my words! [/end Darth Vader voice]" Then kids, schooling, mortgage, retirement, taxes, etc. hit. I'll only be able to afford one of those when I sell my house and move to the retirement home. (Or heck, maybe by then we'll deem it to be a basic human right to have one of those and the gov't will give me one for free.) I'll still want to drive the wheels off of it, but won't have the faculties to do so, anymore.

At the current rate, I'm going to be a 40yr/old bachelor like Dave...

I'm pretty picky about girls, I really doubt I will find one of my type until I move away from here, and I'm not real sure I will ever have kids....

Like the one on the left? The one Patrick Dempsey used to drive?

I always thought a GT3 should be a narrowbody, this pic proves me right again.
The rounder headlights of the newer model are better looking but the newer GT3 together with the widebody is bit too much.
Can't really explain it, but this is my favorite GT3, and this is a stunning example!!
Glen, go for it!

I remember that black GT3RS. I'm not saying my driving skills are worthy the car I'm driving, but that ex-Patrick Dempsey car has a driver that doesn't deserve that ride, either.

My absolute favorite thing in the world is cars. It's been like that ever since I was a toddler, according to my parents. So 3 1/2 decades of car-lust isn't just a passing phase, for me. I'm a bit envious of Schumi to be able to earn a living building this type of stuff for a living.

But I still have to say that having kids has been the most fun thing I've ever done in my entire life. No question.

C'mon out here for a bit, Sid. We'll help you find "your type."

Speaking of Schumi, anyone heard from him? How's the foot, man? Just want to make sure you're still alive.

Lemme get out of school first, so I can come out in one of ^^^those...


I've found outdoorsy girls, I've found girls that aren't bible thumping nut jobs, and I've found girls that like cars(not german cars though)... But I've yet to find a stable combination of the three.

I though I'd gotten close once, but she was just plain nuts....

Funny, it seems like it's always easiest to get a girl when you've already got one.

G,

You're a saint for taking care of her needs at all times of the day (and night).

I'm a very helpful person.
We have an "agreement" that it can never be more than just fun.
I wouldn't mind if it would be more but I'm ok with the fact that it most likely never will be.
She a bit younger than me too.

I'll post pic in the breakfast club section, as soon as I have confirmation that acces there is restricted to accepted members.

EDIT: it's not, so tough cookies, no pics

Alarick... March 13th is the next ax. You figure out how to get down there. I'll figure out how to get new tires.
