[mkiv] Viper vs. Z06 Corvette

[Kevin]

Wow, that's the first time i've seen pictures of the somewhat finished
product.

All technical goodness aside, all those Buck Rogers sharp edges are going
to date the hell out of that thing come 10 years down the road (like the
Cadillac X car).

Of course, i'm probably biased, but the MKIV Supra is still good looking,
and although you can probably tell it isn't a recent design, it doesn't
scream of it's time.  Counter that with NSX whose looks clearly state
that it is a product of the early 90s.  Maybe it comes with shag carpet and
dark wood panel interior.

Plus, driving an 18 year old 240SX around daily has made me somewhat sick
of of heavy cars...

NOTE to EVERYONE: I'll be moving from the US to Japan by October 2007 and
most of my possessions MUST BE SOLD, as it is too costly to ship them to
the other side if the planet :)

So keep checking the KRM eBay Store between now and mid-late September and
you might come up on some pretty nice bargains on all kinds of different
stuff.

The KRM eBay Store!
