So, my friend and his dad just got new cars.....

Post by EricVR4 »

I'll try and get pictures up whenever I can get them. I guess this would go in here instead of general, but whatever.

Anyways, long story short, my friend had an 03 Convertible 911, it was at the dealership getting serviced and when he got it back, the top broke and damaged some stuff. The warranty they had just bought for it (extended it) didn't start for 30 days, so the dealership wouldn't fix it without them paying for it, so his dad said screw it and they ended up trading the 03 in and got an 06 997 Carrera S (silver, auto, navigation, coupe, etc). Haven't ridden around in it yet cause it's been raining every day, but the 03 was a fun car (6 speed) and this one is lighter, has more hp, and overall just a nicer car (especially with all the Sport stuff on it, like seats, brakes, exhaust, etc).

Aaaand, two days ago the same friend's dad traded in the Bentley he had (94/95 Brooklands) and bought a brand new Continental Flying Spur. It's this really dark blue....looks kinda purple/black in some lighting with a darker tan colored interior. HOLY CRAP. Sooooo nice. 6.0L TT W12. 550hp. 5400 pounds and still manages to to get to 60 in 4.9 seconds. Oh, and they come stock with 20"s on them. The car has pimp written all over it :lol:

Anyways, like I said, I'll try and get some pictures of them. In one garage there's the Spur, the Carrera S, and a CLS 500. It's not a bad line up :p

damn we need some pics. :D

Though, why did he go with an auto? I could understand if he always had an auto, but the previous car was a 6 speed.

His first car was auto, and then he had the 6 speed, but traffic around here can suck really bad at times, and it's his only car. So he wanted another auto for the time being.

They had both cars out today, and I was over all day, and forgot to take the pictures :lol:

I only have my camera phone anyways though, but whatever. Eventually!

Since I seem to always forget to bring my camera with me, there's the websites about the cars if anyone cares. Just use those for pictures :p
