buying a car sight unseen

[lincpimp]

Just drove my buddy's 99 lotus esprit v8 turbo. 3.5 liter v8 with twin turbos. Fun, was doing 100+ in the neighborhood. And it only runs 10psi. He plans to pump it up to 15psi, 550hp or more.

As far as anything german goes, I will never own one again. The MB I had was just cheaply made. I am a ford guy, but would buy a dodge or (cringe) a gov't motors vehicle before I went german again...

Just working on these cars everyday (paint and body) shows me how unnecesarily complex they are. Even the toyotas and nissans are going that way. Have not fooled with too many new ford cars, but the trucks are still ok. Parts are getting more complex though, which is nver good. Guess it is just a sign of the times.
