In the City I grew up in we had this crazy old lady (ok not old, in her 60's at the time) and EVERYTHING she owned/wore/drove was purple.....clothes, car, house, HAIR....you name it, it was purple. Even her dog's fur was colored to be purple.

Zeke, are you going to become "that crazy purple man"???

It's not even that, really. I just like the unusual colors, the ones you don't see every day. I like to have a car that is at least somewhat unique.

I mean, I like the blue one, and I could own it... it would be cooler if it had the blue interior... but that purple one with the purple interior & gauge cluster is ******* cool looking.

Already looked it up... If I remember correctly, the number is 332.

No, that's definitely not me. I even rolled my eyes when my GF asked me to paint her computer room in our house purple. It's really not my favorite color at all, I think in this case it just happens to be a better looking car than the blue one just because of the interior. The blue car's interior is really bland (all black), and the purple cars interior is a lot more interesting because of the black / purple two tone effect going on.

I mean, what are your chances of finding another purple, nice looking car?? Three purple cars in your garage really would look extremely cool!

I can't imagine it would be hard to find someone to take Lucifer off your hands. You have too much invested in teh PuRpL3. Get the Cosmo as your daily and race the formy.

You did.

The best run I got of the day... 14.259 @ 102.32 mph.

And on that run, I babied it out of the hole, then hammered it all the way down the track, and I don't think I could have hit the gears faster.

Highest trap speed I had all day was 102.49.

So the question is here... what am I doing wrong, or is there also something wrong with the car? The trap speeds are disturbingly low for a M6 car, I think. As soon as I got home I fired up the Formula and took it out for a drive, and it definitely seems faster.

I don't know what to think... but it's safe to assume I'm pretty disgusted with the WS6 right now.

While I think the purple GTO sounds great, just imagine what you could do to the other two purple cars you already have without that extra car payment. And extra insurance payment, and extra maintainence costs..........................

It was the one car in the ad without a price.
Of course they were going to not put a sticker on it - that would be too obvious it is "loaded, loaded, loaded".

Loaded with what is the question though it only takes going back some pages here to find out

Already looked it up... If I remember correctly, the number is 332.
Only if you can re-sell it for a truck that will tow other purpl3 vehicles and take a hit on a slick road....????

Does it change things if I tell you that even if I went for the GTO, within 8 months my monthly expenses would be $500/mo less than they were BEFORE I totalled the truck?

If your gonna save that much money already than I would have to say get the goat.
Then all you would have to decide is who sleeps outside at night.
