When I first posted, I said it was the FJ1200 and then I went back and looked at the picture so I edited my post.

The only really nice thing about this car is that I can pack all my SCUBA gears in the trunk instead of splitting it up between the trunk and the front seat like on the Z.

Anyway, you guys have a great weekend because the brother wil be going off the grid until Monday. It's time for some real life fun with the fishes under the sea.

Sweet ride - congrats! I've driven a friend's M5, and that V10 engine is a beast...

Well actually if I'm not mistaken it actually had a "valet switch" that could be locked that detuned/limited the car to 250 hp so you could limit the hp for a valet parking your car or anyone else you left it with so they couldn't take it out and dog it or wreck it. To me that's not really a bad idea but just a button that anyone can push ? Come on...I just don't get that at all.

Don't get me wrong...the M6 is a much nicer car but I think the button is a useless gimmick that's all.

I don't really get the power setting swithches on the GSXR's either and now I hear the 09 R1 will have one...*rolling eyes*.

Nope. It's so the race bikes can have adjustable power mapping and traction control. They can't have it unless the stock bikes have it too.

Well, this is a blow to my ego. I pulled up to the parking lot to unload my dive gear and one of the chicks that I have dove with before said, "Hey, what happen to your cute convertible?" So much for the M-car to be a pussy magnet. That motherfucker is more of a dick magnet because the only people that went gaga-eyed for it were the guys. Faaaaack!!!

Somebody please tell me again why the fuck did I buy this thing instead of a couple of hot ass motorcycles?

Well rules are rules so that makes sense but it's still kind of goofy and useless for a street bike imho.
