We'll be adding to our tire warehouse thanks to Eric Meyer, Pirelli and Hoosier Slicks! 235/40/17......2 sets on the way from Indy. We'll be lending a hand @ Mid-Ohio this weekend with Eric's effort.

Do it!!! But would this relegate the KLP5 to winter duty? Not a bad little winter beater, like Mahk's turboed P5 winter beater. lol
im betting the other way around... 3 is the beater and p5 is the summer/track car

I haven't got a solid number for the weight of my car yet, I've heard anywhere from 2580 to in the 2800's. I need to get it on a scale. But the second gen 3's are just massive, it looks like a tank. I'm not a fan.
Why not have a car that weighs 2200 lbs and has 220 hp (with some work)? That's what I would do, anyway if I were looking for a DD.

To each his own. To me, comfort is coilovers and racing seats. I can't stand stock. I consider my 16 year old DD to be pretty darn plush, but I guess it's relative.
Yeah, no. Haha! If I buy my dad's car it will be my DD and the P5 will be stored for the winter and become a track/fun weekend car. The reason it's so appealing is because I won't need a down payment or bank loan. I work with my dad so I would just give him $300 a month straight up and I can drive it and he would use the $300 towards his Jeep payment. So basically I would take over most of the payment (he said he pays about $365/month) and in the long run I would pay $14,400 for it. He said with the title/insurance and warranty we could just leave it in his name. Then once it's paid off I'll transfer the title to my name.
Here it is with my P5 last summer. He's buying 18" black w/red stripe Drag wheels/tires next week for it. It's got tint and a CorkSport air intake. Leather and all the options. I would probably crap myself.
But our car situation at home would be silly. Haha! If Ivan gets a winter car we would have 9 cars here...
But I think it's just too good of a deal to pass up. I think there is more to it with emotions and feelings and all that crap that my dad is giving me such a good deal. Which is nice for a change, heh-heh. But I'm always skeptical of good things that happen to me. I'm waiting for a "catch" or the other shoe to drop... Okay, enough about me. Back to Ohio randomness.

We are currently at 3 people and 6 cars. 2 in a garage, 2 in the driveway, one in the backyard, one in the basement (found out a 68 Mini has no problem fitting through standard double doors). It's like a ******* car safari around our property.

^That sounds so cool, I want a car safari! We've got 4 people and 6 cars (3 are mine, teehee), three in the three car garage, my grandma's rolla my sister is driving in the front driveway, and my Miata and truck in the back yard.
