Post by: baxo on November 21, 2007, 10:58:24 AM
Yeah after a long search of wanting a daily driver, I think I found one that suits my personality and style.

Looks nice in Black! V6? I had the Eagle Talon AWD turbo version many years ago (the old bubble top style) but I enjoy all of the Eclipse's, they have good style.

No it's a 4 banger.. however it is a 5 speed. I didn't want another fun project / race car, just something with style. With a 4 banger it'll be easier on gas.

Nice! When you get a daily driver it's all about style and getting decent gas mileage, not speed. Hence why I picked up the 4 banger Tib.

You say no turbo now but you'll start thinking about it soon enough. I'm already thinking of doing it once the car is paid off.

If he actually puts a turbo on it, that is not rice.  Throwing an intercooler up front WITHOUT a turbo....Long grain wild.

Define "domestic" to me...

It's more "American" than most "domestics" that are either built in Canada, or Mexico....just the parent company is puppiesanese.

Don't let's also forget that to us Canadians they're ALL imports. Until Bombardier or Magna start building cars there are no Canadian domestics (although we came close when Magna was bidding for Chrysler)

The aircraft (Hellcat) performed well against the best puppiesanese opponents with a 13:1 kill ratio against Mitsubishi A6M

"The P-38 was used most extensively and successfully in the Pacific theater, where it proved ideally suited, combining excellent performance with very long range. The P-38 was credited with destroying more puppiesanese aircraft than any other USAAF fighter."

EDIT:
The Lightning was an Air Force plane, while the Hellcat was Navy.
Can't find a kill amount for the Lightning...

Hmm.. First day of snow/ice around here and I must say the Eclipse took it pretty well. I guess it will make a good winter beater. Excellent.
