A deposit to order a megan y-pipe? Why not order it yourself online... If you gotta wait for them to order it, might as well save yourself money and order it yourself.

That's exactly what I was thinking. The whole point of buying local was being able to pick it up as soon as I wanted it. Statik has it for cheaper and with free shipping.

So I have a friend that wants to get a 2010 GTI.....he said that it would be about 28k all punched out.

So what would you guys get instead of the GTI for the 28k....nothing above that money....but it should be New or only like 2 yrs. old.

Give me your opinions.

I have mine.

They upped the power by a ridiculous amount of 10hp.. Not much more gets him into the 370z. Or he could save money and get a 07-08 350Z. Well I guess its bias to ask on a 350z forum.

no doubt! Or even a Hyudai Gen Coupe. If he is set on fwd, GTI isn't bad, but I am a fan of the Si's.

Courtesy of Ms. LayDZee...(enjoy)

Just in case you need a laugh:

Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high school diploma to fix one. After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a 'gripe sheet,' which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.

Never let it be said that ground crews, albeit they may lack a formal higher education, have ever lacked a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS ' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.





By the way, UPS is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident.






P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Probably because auto-land is not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in cockpit
S: Something tightened in cockpit

P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode has a 200 ft. per min. descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right m ain landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.

P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF IS inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

PS: Aircraft acting funny
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right and be serious.

P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

And the best one for last

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.
