Well in all honesty i find the 335i a greater Gem than the upcoming M3; the M5, M6, and M Roadster/Coupe are all a waste of time and money. The "New" M3 is just a two door version of the old M5 (which i loved dearly) and the new M5 got crappied up with idrive and an automatic transmission, and just a quick glance at the M6 will give you nausea. The 335i, now that's a BMW with the automotive purist in mind. I love Audi's styling and engineering but they seem to drive terribly after you hit 80,000 miles even with proper maintenance. But you can't deny the wonderful interiors and the break-neck speed engines they throw in their RS/S line... i still hate the TT though, there's no redeeming qualities in that car. I have to agree with you 100% on Unique autosports being the biggest hacks to ever own/run a shop.

It's not that we're "Mustang Fans" it's just that there are only a handful of German cars that are worth mention. That is admittedly changing a lot with BMW's new releases (335i coupe/sedan, M3) and Audi's new releases (RS4, RS6, R8), not to mention the aftermarket (Heffner Twin Turbo Gallardo, lamborghini is more Euro than Italian now a days but in a good way).

I remember the target recepticles on his visor also and it definitely did not behave like a reflection.

With the Godzilla preorder my final price is about the same price i paid for my VF-0 at its launch: $160ish. I love the YF19 but it doesn't have to be at my door the day after it comes out since I already waited forever for its release as it is.

That's mac7, Yf-21 was Omega One.

it will if you want it to, but i still think 21 spaces is a dead give away. 1/60YamatoYF-21Omega1

looks like something from virtual on.

2007_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _! It's actually 21 blank spaces, so i'm going with YF-21

i like it because it's not so sugar coated. I was very surprised to see the amount of adult content (gore, blood, etc.) on a public station. The script is really good too because you already get a good grasp of the characters without having to be 20 episodes deep.

how tall would millia be in 1/48 scale (i don't own any 1/48s)? I might give the sculpt a shot if i get the time... also any lineart of the suit she uses?

i like the fire extinguisher.

i think it's some of the design elements in the waste and legs that are reminiscent of Zaku's from Gundam or the Leos from GundamW.

for 250, i'll definitely be picking one up.

i dont' even remember akira's opening music, but i am a big fan of cowboy bebop's opening.

CONGRATULATIONS!! my wife and son had the exact same complications (high blood pressure, wrapped cord) except was born only a week sooner; i'm really glad to hear everything was okay. You say "pics soon" but remember, i said the same thing when mine was born. If you get yours pics up, i'll be sure to do the same

Styling at a price, it's kind of hard to see out of, especially if you have the hatch model. The Mazda 3 SPEED should be AWD IMO but then it would cannibalize on 6 SPEED sales since it would perform WAY better. Even so, the AWD on the mazda's isn't refined like it is on a Subaru or Nissan. It's more comparable to Toyota or Honda AWD, where it's really FWD but then locks once the wheels skip which is great for bad weather but crap when it comes to performance (my brother used to own an AWD element, and you could get the front wheels to burn for a good 2 seconds which is a lot for an "AWD" car).

LOL, completely true, I got to drive a Mazda 3, i can see why everyone who owns one doesn't want to sell it. They drive wonderfully, and have all of the options you would need for a car of it's size and class. Now you just have to wait for the Turbo SPEED model, i think it's due sometime next year. Ford had their chance with the Focus, but really screwed it up. They should have brought the European styling (along with the better motors and options) stateside at its debut (MkII).

it uses the older slk320 platform and motor; what a piece. It's funny because Mercedes is suppose to be on the cutting edge, but all of their motors are very primitive (with the exception of the new 6.2liter AMG V8 and their 6.0liter V12). What's more sad is how unreliable Chryslers are now that they're using the underpowered gas guzzling Mercedes 90 degree V6's.

i think it's a great alternative to people who don't want the peice of crap that is the G6 hard top conv. or the maintenance nightmare Mercedes SLK/SL. Plus with a few simple mods, you can still have a screaming machine, and yet a refined cruiser for the summer time.

2007 Mazda Miata Hard Top Convertible It's about time they did this; it only weighs in 75lbs heavier than the soft top. Can't wait for the SPEED version

My wife actually tries to show interest in my toys (the good ones at least), just last night she had me walk her through transforming my VF-0S. She did it successfully but i just about had a stroke and heart attack in the process. She likes a lot of the new stuff that's come out (new Yamatos, Revoltech) and even went out of her way to get me the VF-0 for Father's Day. On the flip side, she finds it a waste of space, and should only keep what i exclusively love. I can understand since we now have two kids and our place is kinda small. She also made the penis nose cone comment. I don't ever get teased for collecting toys, mostly because if they said anything, they'd find my foot up their ass.

Definitely both mechs from Madox, this series definitely needs some toys.

After watching a hand full of Mac7 Episodes, i get the same vibe from this series as from when my wife made me watch a million episodes of sailor moon. Monsters go after life energy for some evil plot, they get foiled most of the time, and the characters grow along the way. Very child oriented from what i grasp thus far. Even the concept of energy is seemingly synonymous just with different express points (sailor moon was "love" spiritual energy, Mac7 is "music" spiritual energy).

Whatever it is, Carlos Ghosn is the real reason Renault/Nissan is even in business. If it wasn't for him both of those companies would cease to exist.

Sweet, I wonder why Renault still makes crap for cars... oh yeh they're French.
