Here's a 'Stang for ya, Vick. Think you can handle a 1,200HP Shelby? Drool Oh come on, Carlos. Only about $210,000... And geez, it runs on regular gas. Oh the car price is not the issue, it the cost of gas. I am retiring my Jeep in favor of an Audi A3 TDI. 50 mpg and I can burn biofuel. I ordered one and it should be delivered and ready to pick up this weekend. Remember I am Senior Environmental Manager for the largest PV solar power plant on the earth. I need to be a green as I can be. And that looks like a fine ride too, Carlos. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster ID: 1349761 ·
