I did not get the machine. I chose the "loose 80lbs., eat better, and start exercising" approach. But if you have a relative that you suspect might have apnea, I would recommend you encourage them to get checked out.

The car also had a top speed of 165 mph. In 1987, Peter Stevens redesigned the Esprit, keeping the same proportions for engineering reasons. The biggest change for the Esprit was in the engine bay. Instead of the 2.2 L Inline-4 a 350hp 3.5 L V-8 was swapped in.

We thought about removing the whole interior in the back, but I didn't want to go to the trouble, it was mainly my dad who wanted to get it. I got a Nissan NX Coupe instead, somewhat as small and completely useless.

My old boss had a '98 Esprit. That thing was AWESOME to ride in, and actually quite comfy.

IDK too many details about the earlier models. I just think the last model's body style looks a lot better than the one propsed for '07.

Speaking of Vendors, I had a great experience with Rallyarmor.com. I ordered my Bilstein coilovers through them and they arrived with the box mashed and the seal on one strut broken and leaking. I sent them out an email within the hour (this is around 7pm on a weekday) and I got a call less than an hour later. To my surprise they fully insure all their packages at no extra cost, and for the price I got it at it didn't include the shipping charge but they waived that anyways (mind you this is shipping a 50+ lb box of coilovers from the east coast to the west coast). They are fully replacing the WHOLE set instead of just sending me a replacement strut and were VERY apologetic even though it wasn't their fault (UPS really mangled the box, it fell apart as I opened it up). Lots of thanks goes out to Rallyarmor.com for taking care of this whole mess and making it a very pleasant experience!
+1000000000000000000000000 goes to Rallyarmor!!!!!

Apnea, for those that don't know is when you stop breathing when you are sleeping. It was really easy to pick up in my dad, because when he was sleeping, you would hear him snorring, then he would stop for a while and then he would snort REALLY loud and kinda jar himself 1/4 awake and then start snoring again. It causes disturbed sleep (whether you know it or not), and because you stop breathing it does heart and brain damage due to low oxygen levels.
I did not get the machine. I chose the "loose 80lbs., eat better, and start exercising" approach. But if you have a relative that you suspect might have apnea, I would recommend you encourage them to get checked out.

I'm also trying the excercise/take vitamins kind of deal, I am overly skinny. Ever since I started excercising and taking vitamins I have gained 7lbs(only been like a month or 2). which is saying a lot because I have weighted the same amount for quite some time now!! I seem to also have a lot more energy then i use to(only been excersising for a couple weeks).
