got all my toys together

for the first time all my cars in one place!!! Well my cool cars anyways.

The Z4 is not really mine. It's a company car that I use about once a week. But it's cool so I will include it.







Note in background 2 chargers, One is a sweet hemi the other is a ghettoized v6 model. Also one of the girls here has a ricer eclipse. We all like cars here.

They all have there good and bad points.

For just cruising the Z4 is nice. It's an automatic and rides smooth and is quiet. Has an auto roof. Just a relaxed car. My favorite for going to meet friends for lunch at an outdoor restaurant you could say. Also my girlfriend can drive it so she likes this one of course.

Solstice is a fun all around car. Has enough power to get you into trouble but thankfully comes with traction control so it saves me from my own stupidity alot. Once you ditch the stock tires for higher performance ones the car really comes alive. Just a great all around car. Decent cruiser, decent performance and great looks.

914 is just a stripped out race car for doing one thing, going fast! Try and make it do anything else and it sucks. It begs you to break speed limits. But it will bite back if you push it to far. Thankfully you can get over one G before it starts to bite back. No traction control to save your ass when you **** up.

The 914 puts the biggest smile on my face but I would never want to drive it every day. It's a pretty brutal car.

trying to think of something clever to say but cannot come up with anything. LOL

Been with this company for 10 years and we are all friends. It's weird kinda. We all got into this business out of college and it's like college has never ended. We just like to have fun and make money.

Yeah I had a string of hondas, toyotas and mazdas up til 4 years ago. Time for something different I guess.

I just change the wheels and tires and intercooler pipes. Not sure I really want to do anything to it. You can get them performing really well for very little money though. 4 grand and you would have a heck of a fast car.

It looks like the only one registered in NJ is the 914. Although NY requires front plates as well, so your point is still valid haha..

If you have a sports car cops don't seem to hassle you about the front plates. It's the imports and fart can guys they seem to go after. Knock on wood...

I guess this depends solely on the cop that spots it. Most in NJ will give you a ticket just as fast as anyone else reguardless of the car you drive.

Just an idea: In Europe the nice sports cars get vinyl decals on the lip or bumper with the plate number made. Great idea and the police here accept it.

How much is the ticket? Never got one so never worried. If it's just a ticket you pay $35 for and they don't make you put one on then I won't worry about it. If it's a $300 ticket and they force you to put it on that would royally suck.
