Absolutely Tom,
I meant no offense either and certainly none taken. It's really the latest Tilly fad around here that gets me amused more so than the cars. You could add any convertible at all into my sentence and my intent would be the same.

My Tilly hatred goes back to a story a few years ago I think I may have even posted about a hiking trip down to camp in Fishing Cove, Cape Breton. We ended up sharing the location with a family of folks all in their finest LL Bean camping clothes and matching Tillys for everyone. They seemed friendly enough until I tried to politely mention to the father that he might want to collect water for his fancy new water filter pump further up the stream because he was down where it was still tidal and was assuredly still salt water. He quickly became very taken back, very rude and essentially told me where I could go while he continued to pump salt water through his filter.

I let him have at it and then awaited the inevitable outcry from his kids when they tasted the "pristine mountain water" he bragged loudly about as he walked back to his tents. Very amusing!!!

My apologies to authentic Tilly types everywhere. If it's salt faded, sun faded, dusty, dirty or maybe has a tooth byte or two in the rim, then they are definitely the best hat you could have bought.

I had to look up Tilly hats... in the same thread where I had to look up paddle shifters.

You guys make me feel stupid.... or at least like I have to get out of my office more...

2900? 440hp? Wow! Sweet! I bet it's a frigin rocket now. Folks forget about the whole power to weight ratio much too often. I used to have a Nova trailer queen at 2600 pounds with 750 hp. Ran an 8.8 with that one.

I have a thing for good ol' American V8 powered cars, but seriously considering picking up the GT-R. If it came with a manual, I'd be all over it.

I'm not really fond of the looks of the GT-R, but you can't argue with the performance.

Tom, have you considered a Viper? wink

Last year for the Viper. Which means you have to order one of the 50 only Viper SRT10 "Final Edition" models.

If you buy one, I'll definitely change my mind and go to Dwight to see it......

I like the exterior of the Viper but Imo the interior is just fugly. It's a great car as long as you don't have to go around any corners smile

Agreed. Although the only time I ever drove one was 8 years ago.

Ken, I had not. Just need more zeroes.

You guys are no longer helping. It was amazing for a while there, though.
