that is a sweet car, i own it in GT3

same color but nicer wheels. i think i will take this time to do a little venting. i am about sick and damn tired of all these car manufacturers making high performance four door cars!!!
where the hell are the two door sport coupes. i use a wheelchair and it is not four door friendly! so i am missing out on a lot of action here. oh well guess i will just have to settle for the new Z or mazda RX8....... or perhaps even a new two door SVX.....

Good point, and one I hadn't thought of. I wonder if any of the manufacturers know what kind of bind that puts you (and a lot of others - I'm sure) in? Let's see if we can get something going and shrink the market for used Thunderbirds (ick).

yeah that wouldnt be good.

there are still a lot of nice two door cars out there. but the problem comes in when car manufacturers feel like if the make a two door sportscar it must have manual only. the rsx is a fine example. the type s is manual only?! when we bought my wife's gti we wanted the VR6 but it is manual only so we had to buy the 1.8L Turbo. i remember that i once i was going to buy a Prelude 98' i thing but the damn doors did not open wide enough. the SVX had big doors, ample back seat, automatic, and is fast enough for my tastes.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but why is a four-door vehicle more difficult for you to use?

GT3 kicks ass...I need to limit my time playing the game, though, lest I get to 100% completion in the next month.

no big deal mr. pockets....

i use a wheelchair. i got paralyzed in a car accident back in 95. if you go to sith's personal locker you can see a pic of me and my beautiful mexican wife in a group photo. my svx is the rarest in the world because to my knowledge it is the only one equipped with hand controls.

i put the wheel chair in the back seat. so i need to be able to lean the driver seat back and the passenger seat forward. the door on a four door do not open wide enough and the entrance itself does not lend easily to me getting in and out. plus with a four door the A frame is in the way. many reasons that make it more complicated with my rigid frame sports chair, carbon fiber wheels, four wheel suspension, really high dollar chair.

anyway there you are my friend.

Right, I was aware that you used a wheelchair, I just wasn't sure how a sedan would pose more of an inconvenience for you.

Full-suspension? Oh, cool. Are there some pics online somewhere? I used to be heavily into cycling (much more so than the past two years) and much of the technology is the same. I escorted a wheelchair race on my off-road bike (followed right after by a not-so-kosher trip around the inside of Pittsburgh's late Three Rivers Stadium on the same bike) and saw that that many of the parts i was familiar with repairing were on the racing chairs. But full suspension is something I've never seen.

its funny because i actually dont like it.

the dampening of the suspension slows me down to much. i have another chair that is much more rigid and a lot faster. four doors and rigid frame wheelchairs dont get along.
