My name is James W. and I'm a ti-aholic... I'm here to admit that my ti is more fun to drive than; my M3 (it's a beast) my 4runner (it's a tank) my mothers 350z (uncomfortable) my partners Miata (too small!) my former Lexus is300 (boring...) The first step is admitting that I don't have a problem... it's an addiction! __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

Each one serves up a different kind of fun though. __________________ | | | 03-01-2009, 06:41 PM | #10 | Z3 Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Usa Posts: 660 | Guys...

That little car was more fun, and got better gas mileage (Over 85MPH ) than the TI does. It was also lighter and simpler..... and Cheaper to repair. It eventually got terminal cancer in the rear suspension structure and was going to cost 2x the value of the car to fix. Its now part of race cars all over the west coast (RIP).
