Yeah. I'd pay six for it (if I had six laying around) but he is crazy if he thinks he will get half his buy it now.

I thought that at first but as I thought more about it and talked to my friends that have first hand experience with the cars I decided I'm not too concerned. It seems like the maintenance was done on this car and it has a pretty fresh rebuild. I'm told that the NA cars will run forever as long as you keep the oil changed every 2500 miles and keep an eye on the levels as rotaries burn oil by design. And also the fact I don't do much driving in my car as it stands now I'm not really that worried. I'm going to look at it and if it's not as clean and as well maintained as it looks online I won't do it but if it's done well I think it'd be a pretty good compromise. I only have about 1200 into my Civic anyways so I'm not too worried.

My rotard friends all say the NA rotaries are pretty reliable if you keep them up and like I said...we still have out Lexus so I'm not too worried. I drive my car maybe 30 miles a week. No back seats but that's not an issue. I hardly ever have a single passenger with me in my car. If we go anywhere and are taking a lot of people the SUV is the car of choice.

I'm pretty sure they all do that. And the other mods seem pretty decent. Either way it's my DD on occasion but we usually take the wifes Lexus RX330 anywhere so its not like I will be completely without transportation. I think it's more than fair for my bone stock Civic with the few problems it has.

repost. lol

Your loss.

Ah. Gotcha. I thought you were saying the special effects were cliche. The story is far from cliche. Yes. It's a basic formula. There is no such thing as a completely original story....they all follow basic story lines.... but I thought it was entertaining. It's just not the best I have ever seen. Still good IMO.

So you've seen it?

ATTENTION: THERE COULD BE INFORMATION IN THE FOLLOWING THREAD THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED "SPOILERS" FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE. I'M NOT REVEALING A BIG TWIST ENDING OR ANYTHING (AS IT DOESN'T EXIST) BUT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW THEN DO NOT READ. Last night I went to my local AMC to check out the midnight screening of Avatar. I've mentioned the flick a little bit here and I think most of those that know me know that I have been very excited about this flick for a very long time. I love James Cameron's work, I have a huge hard on for the first two Terminator flicks, and was excited to see what he could do with Avatar because we all kept hearing about how it was such an incredible feast for the senses. So I show up at Barrywoods AMC at around 11:20 hoping to secure a pretty good seat (I'm picky about this sort of thing). As my wife and I approach we see a pretty long line has already started forming. We enter and follow the line down the hall, to the concessions stand at the end of the hall, and back to the exit doors on the side (those familiar with this particular AMC knows how long that line was). Once it got moving it went pretty quick and we ended up with a pretty decent seat anyways and waited. Before diving into all the talk of special effects and what not I want to say first off that I really like Sam Worthington. I thought he stole the show in Terminator Salvation and he is just as great here. Hats off to that man. So...the special effects.....was it everything they said it would be? It really really was. It's bizarre because they are almost too good. Even though everything is very unlike anything you have seen before it just seems so natural and you don't really ever get that vibe that what you are seeing is computer generated. In fact there were times I was looking at the Na'vi and analyzing every detail and was blown away by how great they looked. And the 3D? Well...it's pretty great too. I know a lot of people were aprehensive about the 3D because, well, 3D can be pretty cheesy. Objects coming out in what appears to be inches from your face but never looking quite right just has a way of turning people off. I never felt that way during Avatar. There was more depth and sense of 3D but it never felt like it was too much. I don't know how much of that was the new technology used and how much was just not over doing it. Either way....bravo. So onto the story. I was worried that in the sea of special effects and 3D I was going to end up with an average story and I was ok with that. I was on board before knowing anything about the story because I was just that excited to see this new technology in action. But the story is quite good. It's not the greatest and most original tale ever told but don't let that steer you away from it because it's still quite compelling. For those that don't know the basic plot is about a Marine, Jake Sully, who takes his twin brothers spot in this avatar program. Basically the humans want this precious mineral (that there happens to be a lot of under the Na'vi home village) and a Dr. creates this program to interact with the Na'vi in hopes of getting them to peacefully move elsewhere. Sully is picked because he can link up with his deceased brothers Avatar due to having similar genetics and goes in hopes of getting some new legs in real life as his are useless anymore. As you might have expected when he gets into the avatar he starts to bond with the Na'vi and when they refuse to move and the Marines come in to wipe them out he has to make a choice. In the process a few of our supporting cast loose their lives and some amazing battle scenes take place. It really is a feast for the senses and I can promise you have never seen anything like it before but will hopefully see more like it again. I highly suggest seeing it in IMAX if at all possible but if not please go see this movie and show Hollywood that original content such as Avatar is welcomed in a sea of remakes, sequels, and other bad ideas. I loved it. It's easily on my top 10 list of movies. I don't think it has taken the number one spot but as I laid in bed last night with the excitement of a young kid thinking to myself "Was this what it was like to have seen Star Wars in 1977" I really considered ranking it at the top of my list. See it. You will love it. If not....you are defective. lol

I'll take stockers over any setup I have seen in this thread. This car just doesn't look right with other styles of headlights.

Is this now a post your daily thread? Here is mine. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3621/3604275668_bda0002216_o.jpg

Wish I had some cash. I'd give it a good home. Nice find.

Whole story.

From the front. You can't even see the engine. http://www.streetlegaltv.com/photos/data/703/IMG_1447.JPG

You had me scared that it might happen here so I just went and picked up my IMAX tickets today. Can't wait.

Gotta be fake.

Because it's going to change the way we watch movies. http://www.cinematical.com/2009/12/10/avatar-reviews-james-cameron/

Yeah. Those guys are pretty damn talented. I've seen their stuff before.

The engine have good compression on all four cylinders. That and its out of the car. lol

What should the do to the body? Personally I'd much rather see a stock bodied Honda with a bunch of cool bits under the hood, suspension, etc. Anyways...I know the Honda hate is strong here so I won't say too much else. lol And yeah... I'd love to get some awesome SQ video someday...maybe mine will run sooner or later.

That's what happens when you hit 88 mph in a Delorean.
