ummmmmmmmmmmm...........no!!!!

how bout a brand new Gs430 and about $20 g's on top of that would get you in it !!! or for a brand new one (ours is 6 months old) add another $5 g's!!

even though that was terribly tempting!!!!!

I cant tell you how many times I thought about liquidating all of the toys for a boat....these thoughts are usually in the summer. If I got rid of the TT GS, and both bikes(well, maybe keep 1 bike).....I might be able to justify it to the wifey! WIth gas prices these days I dont know how you afford to take it out.

thats the worst part!!! but to fill her which will typically last the whole weekend...its about $205.00!!!

it could be worse with twin motors!!!! but really theres nothing like owning a boat and getting out ont he water with 120 degree air blowing by you at 70-80 m.p.h. its an awsome rush!!! not to mention the beautifull canyons you can go through in AZ!!!

The S2000 can be a real fun car to drive.....although I have problems fitting in the damn thing. I traded one of my Supra TT's awhile ago for an S2000 with 2200 miles on it, when they first came out. A 94 Supra for a brand new S2000, my wife wanted me to keep it for her....but that didnt happen. I cant keep a car that I cant fit in with comfort.


Frenchie.....I know what you mean, my in laws own a boat and some jet skis. They have a summer house on a lake in North Carolina, we spend a better part of our weekends down there in the summer.....I absolutely love being out on the water...nothing like it. Plus I have two young kids and a wife, it's a little mroe fun when you can have a hobby that your family can enjoy with you as well.........hmmmmm, got me thinking again!!
