V-G,

There is not much I can do at this time of my life.

For now I just like making money.

In the future i would like to be in real estate, fixing up houses.

I guess flipping houses will be what i like to do.

P.S. This is probably the stupidest post I have ever written.

Z3 and Z4 are good cars, but IMHO are much too overpriced.
American muscle cars don't do well on the track, they are designed to do 1/4 mile and really suck at everything else. I've driven many of them and hated each and every one

Stepan, what I meant to ask you was what do you like doing for fun? For example, I love racing cars, racing mountain bikes ... hiking, running, golfing etc. At the top of my list are the things that pump adrenalin and endorphins. What about you?

BTW, your posts isn't stupid, fixing houses and flipping them is a great way to make a lot of money without having to go through years of education.

Don't agree at all, yes Drag racing has influenced the American Muscle car scene and many cars have been designed for that purpose but there are a few that are not Drag based cars.

I had a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am (Bandit model) and it was brilliant, yeah sure it doesn't handle as well as the euro stuff but it was twice the weight.

Another car is the new GTO, don't tell me it is drag based design cause I know its not. It is based on the Australian Holden Monaro, which was derived from the Holden Commodore. The Commodore is the major car in Australian circuit racing and when other cars, apart from the Ford Falcon, have raced against it nothing of its size and weight has been able to compete until Nissan brought out the GTR Skyline with 4 wheel drive.

V-G,

I honesly dont know how to answer that question.

I guess I like using the computer for just about everything.

Other then that I forgot what i like to do since I have no time to do things these days. I like riding my bike for long distances but not racing (no place where i live).

I'm interested in all sorts of technology. Like to create things. Whether its with my hands or creating web sites or programs. Well, thats me.

P.S. I like fishing, but not a lot of time these days. Then again its the weather.

And I don't agree at all back at you . The old GTO was one of the best drag racing cars ever, new one hasn't hit the market here yet, so I have no idea (or interest really). I've tried Ford Mustang GT here, a bunch of different dodge SRT models and a corvette. The only one worth anything was the corvette and even that lacked a bit. Here American cars are called domestic and compared to import they all suck. You should try driving Subaru WRX STI or even Mitsubishi Evo Lancer (both light and great cars). Nissan doesn't give us new Skyline here, we get the watered down Infinity G37 now, not as good but still beats the crap out of most of the Dodge SRT models and those are supposed to be "racing" cars. I personally drive a Nissan Altima SER, a sedan that whoops Mustang GT's 300hp V8 ass without any problem. Handles alright around the track (proper suspension and good 8" wide wheels keep it solid) and 6 speed manual transmission works well. Note how I never even mentioned the Euro built cars . Believe me, US made cars are junk (and quality proves that statement too).

Creating things is cool. But one needs to have a lot of patience, which I don't have. Most of my projects end up in the "to do later" pile.

What kind of bike do you have? Road or Mountain? Even if not racing, riding a bike always puts a smile on my face.
