    M3 vs. M5

    Anyone have any thoughts on 02-03 M5 vs. 03-04 M3? Obviously size is the first thing... What about reliability, fit/ finish, performance? Any issues you've seen that are common (ie snap ring for NSX)? They seem to be selling around the same price range and I'd be interested to hear -Xers...

    Easiest/ cheapest way to get into racing

    So I don't know a ton about racing as far as the general public goes... I am wondering where drivers get their starts? I understand quarter midgets are for kids, but what are some of the ways adults get into racing as beginners besides simple autocrosses? Shifter karts? What are some of the...

    Real Estate/ Nehemiah loan question

    So we are looking to upgrade and have made 2 offers on new houses. Our mortgage broker has it set up that we would get a Nehemiah loan. I have no idea what it means, but it looks very attractive. End result is moving in for a total of $750 out of pocket, a 30 year fixed around 6.6%, and it...

    High volume body shop?

    Anyone in the PHX know of a good body shop for trucks? I'm looking for quick turnaround and good service. Getting the absolute best job is not as high a priority as the work would be for government trucks with busted up body panels and such... not repainting the nose of an NSX! Think pickups...

    Porsche 993 vs. 996

    What are your thoughts on the 993 v 996. I know the old loyalists like the air cooled engine, and are put off by the boxster front end of the 996, but what else? The nitty gritty: If you had 30-40k to spend on either, which would you get and why? What gremlins would you have to worry about...

    Candidate Finder

    I've been looking around the net for a website that (without bias) leads you through a series of questions and ends up with a 'who you should vote for' conclusion. Does anyone know of a site like this... Maxim had one in their magazine last month... rediculous questions, but I ended up at...

    I'm setting up a bar on my patio and out in a TV and a receiver. The TV is only going to have direct cable, no seperate cable box. It's just a 20 inch tube TV with 2 sets of inputs (one front, one back), an S video inout, and the single line orange digital coax output. I think the cable...

    S2000 vs. RSX

    Why is it that the S2000 became the surrogate 'little brother' to the NSX rather than the RSX? On this forum, it's always the S2k that seems to be the next best, less expensive, thing to the NSX. Is it performance? Mod capabilities? Is it the fact that the S2K primarily caters to an older...
