yes, the new place is nice. just a little messy right now from most stuff still being in boxes. going to work on getting that finshed up later today.

my bedroom here is so much bigger than my previous place. i have an extra 50 SF. makes a huge difference

has anyone heard of this sports car that can travel on land and in the water? apparently can hit top speeds on land of 125 mph and sea of 50 mph...
just saw the end of the report via fifth gear.. but didn't catch the vehicle's name. pretty interesting concept tho. it's a two seator sports car. be interested to see one in person...

ok. given the option of a skyline: https://sv9.xserverzero.net/~x200922...0015221&bt=OFF
for that's approx. 13K

or skyline gt-r: http://www.adpost.com/hk/vehicles/856/
for approx. 43K

which option to go for?

the skyline? to drive around... to enjoy it... to track it.... (but seeing as there are no tracks in hk.. this would be a lesser concern).. also to just have something to play with. i'm far far too bored without a car right now. i've lasted 6 mths, but now i'm craving it... need car....
i'd try to ship it back to the states when done..

Well there are 200000 different skyline variations but if youre just getting it to drive around an an occasional track day I'm sure the GTS-t would be fine. I just dont know how much fun youll have with an R34 vs a more nimble (and better looking ) R32 but I guess it depends on what kind of feeling you want from your car.

hm..
which one would be the gts-t?
personally i think the r34 looks better
eventually, i would want to ship it back to the states as one of my track cars, in which case i would consider the advantages of a nimbler car. however, it's gotta have a balance between nimble and power..
i.e. my stable would probably (hopefully) already by then have a spec miata addition...
(now currently housing: '95 e36 m3 and '02 wrx)

Well the black one is a gtr (awd) and the white one is a gt-t/gts-t whatever they all have just minor differences but theyre all rwd. All r32-r34 gtr have basicly the same engine so its not really a power issue, more about the chasis you want. If you want to bring it back as a track car just know thats all you can use it for since no one can legalize skylines right now and even when they were able to they were only able to do r34s for a few months. Just make sure to give me a ride
