    LOL! Touché. I didn't notice the connection between the *seemingly* (to be politiclaly correct;)) gay guy and the spelling error. Anyways, I made the best judgement on the "spelling error" after taking Vasco's spelling record into account. :D

    What a horrible start for the Colts, I still can't believe it. First, the kickoff is returned for a TD by hester, and then the two offensive penalities (Anyone got nerves? :D), and then the interception after throwing nearly two potentially-interceptable passes... this doesn't look good for the Colts.

    Yeah, it was one of the ugliest games I've seen. And you can't blame it entirely on the rain. Quite entertaining though with all the possession changes.

    Howdy, I'm new to the forum, I've just been lurking and reading for a couple days now, trying to learn as much as possible while car shopping.

    This coming Wednesday, I'm heading down to Calgary to check out a 348 that is for sale at ZR Auto, it's a five hour drive each way so I figure I should make the best of the trip, is there any other car places that I should check out while I am in town? What about Kulu, can I just show up at Kulu and ZR Auto, or should I phone ahead?

    Currently I'm the happy owner of an NSX, but I just can't get over the sound and styling of the 348's. I'm taking this trip because I need to find out if the 348 is the car to replace my NSX.

    Also I'll be moving to Olds in a couple months so I will be close to ZR Auto for maintenance if I decide to buy the Ferrari so distance for maintenance won't be a problem.

    Edit: I've been reading http://the348.com/ there is so much good info there. (I found the link here)

    The long way home
    You'll always be taken more seriously if you phone ahead. Also, you can confirm that the car will be available for viewing and not off being detailed/serviced etc. Good luck!

    You know, I was asking myself the very same thing during the -short- periods that the Bears were on Offense.

    This means that you certainly must buy the Ferrari.

    Trust me, I want to, I know that with proper maintenance the Ferrari can be a reliable car, but I'm so used to just jumping in the NSX and going wherever I want to I'm worried I'll lose that with the 348.

    Also I'll be working in Olds, but I think I'll be buying a house in Didsbury, the market just seems less crazy.

    He gamble $1 million a week, and only lost $250,000 in the year? I thought it is illegal for employees (Celine would be an "employee") and family to gamble at casinos. The state takes casino gaming very serious.

    Wanker. :p

    At least I'll have the only NSX when we hang out.

    I hate to say it, but you might want to check parts prices too. I can't imagine a 348 clutch being cheaper than the NSX, and that was a 3K bill. And ZR's labour can't be cheap.

    But if it works out, give 'er. Ferrari's are Ferrari's!

    At least you know ZR's labor will probably get the job done, unlike a certain Acura dealership.

    I'm pretty sure I'll instantly fall in love and offer my kidney on the spot, but you never know until you actually get to check out the car in person. You should phone in sick and come with us.

    You have no idea how tempting that sounds... if there wasn't 9 feet of snow on the ground, and could actually have the chance to take the car for a good rip, I would consider it!

    And yes, that certain Acura dealership doesn't get my business... WestSide all the way!

    Sorry for the bad news, but your Ferrari will just blend in with all the others in Olds & Didsbury...

    Why are we comparing NSX's and 348's on here? (again)

    Both are great cars for different reasons. They are different! And why the hell are we even comparing an Acura dealership's service bay to ZR's shop? That alone is a huge difference. I don't know ZR but from what I hear his shop is a serious setup.

    I was up there, and it is one of the best service bays I've seen either in real life, or in pictures. It's immaculate in there. Nothing is out of place, the tools and surfaces are clean almost all the time, and it's just well-kept.
