Default Im Baaaaaaack......

No kill in this story lol....

For those of you who remember I had a 550rwhp viper and a supercharged 320 rwhp nsx...

Things got real bad in my marridge and I sold the nsx and viper..

Ive been rocking a 2010 kia for the past two years..sad...yea I know..

Well I had my heart set on a 2015 viper or 2006 Gallardo...

My bank would only loan me money for vehicles in Hawaii. Sounds stupid I know..but regardless of new or used if yhe car wasn't in Hawaii then I couldnt buy it..

Low and behold I found somthing I really liked. At just 420 hp she will get her *** spanked by just about anything...but man Im Livin thr looks and feel of the car.

Blast from the past, sorry to hear about the marriage. Maybe you will find a sugardaddy who will buy you another NSX.

I had no idea the v8 ones were still going for so much. A guy just came into my work yesterday with an all black V8 one looked awesome. R8 is one of my favorite looking cars performance aside

From the specs 0-60 in 4.4 and quarter in 12.8 @ 112

Not fast at all.

But driving around it feels very fast. I think its probaly geared agressivly.

I paid 88k total out the door. Really 84 plus another 4k in taxes

Theve been holding their value

I think a 2008 with 50k miles still sells in the mid to high 70s

I would of loved a new viper though. I tried very hard but it just couldnt happen

Vipers might be for winning races, but R8's makes the panties drop.

I took a huge hit. I was actually homeless lost my job went to jail ect. A cheating wife can break you in every way.

I scrapped every coin I could for two years. Got some very very lucky breaks thanks to prior military service disability and education benifits.

I havent worked in over a year.

God bless the military. They do truly take care of their vets. Especially those with disabilities
