Well y'all, I bought a daily driver today. One of my teachers is moving to PA and she sold me her '91 Eagle Talon AWD TSi for $500. Pics will be up soon. It isn't in perfect shape, the turbo has been busted for quite some time and apparently it's going to need some tranny work (clutch?) done soon, and the A/C needs to be charged, but otherwise, it's fine.
BTW: Eric, if you know of any turbo's for the above car that you can get your hands on, I might be interested.

I can't knock him TOO bad....at least it's a fast import! Those AWD turbo Talons are a force to be reckoned with.. Course, with a busted turbo and funky tranny.......there goes all its good points, besides the AWD. Speaking of, how good is it? Never driven an all wheel driver. I imagine it's no different unless you're either a) launching it or b)off-roading or handling. It's probably got a nasty case of understeer.

As much as I hate to admit it....I saw the new Fast and the Furious movie today.Just as highly unrealistic as the first one...but I do admit, the plotline was better. It got tiring though..... So many dumb technical things that made no sense.. I swear these cars have infinite gears. They upshifted like CRAZY every race..I don't understand it...I could see 15 gear shifts on a STRAIGHTAWAY.
On a comical sidenote....a buddy of mine, the one that's been riding with me for the past couple MMOB meetings, got his hands on a copy of a new issue of Sport Compact magazine where they tested all the cars from the movie. I believe the Lancer, in movie form, was MUCH, MUCH slower than a Lancer of the same year in stock form. Don't know why. We're talking like 15.1. All of the other cars were equally unimpressive. The Supra and S2000 were among the quickest if I remember right....mid to low 13's. And the Skyline was pretty slow.. To top that off, they disabled the AWD system on the Skyline and ran it on rear wheel drive only. Why? For the drift scenes.
Hey look at that. A river barge with wheels.Originally posted by 94_Teal_GT
What do you guys think? I found this posted over on the other board that I frequent. This is the body style that I bought, 'cept mine is grey and not nearly that fast, but not hard to duplicate.

i averaged about 25mpg on my trip to NC last weekend, i was very pleased with thatOriginally posted by 94_Teal_GT
I must say that car is a pleasure to drive on long trips and gets 22mpg with A/C on
Yep that's about what my GT averages(but A/C is broken), I just prefer the big car ride for long trips, especially when travelling with wife and 2 kids. I didn't hear "Are we there yet?" or "Tell him/her to leave me alone" not onceOriginally posted by BlackMagic

You guys suck... I get about 15 mpg city without a/c. With A/C, I get about 10-12.
