Haiz.. chao United Airlines.
I was in Denver Airport at 2+pm!!! Checked in for my 5pm flight.
Then when I got to gate, realized they got earlier flight to LAX (355pm) so I asked to go earlier, but lady say cannot, cos I got checked luggage.
Then my flight kena delayed.. from 5pm.. to 6pm
Reach LA, suay suay 15 minutes before my SIA flight depart, so siao!!
Now in LAX on standby.. if not gotta overnite. HAIZ.
Anyway, oso give me some time to catch up on my reading (read: browsing) in the newstands..
Car and Driver had a pretty good nice comparo between the Cayman S and the Exige. Exige was slightly more fun on the track, but the Cayman was faster overall (bigger hp made a difference for Road America track) but just barely (think the A048s on the Exige was key). But the Cayman was a more civilised car for daily driving. With airmatic suspension, good brakes etc, it does cost over US$70k fully spec-ed up (base 50+k)
Even fully spec-ed, it is abt 20k cheaper than the base 911 and as much fun to drive, according to the review.
But the coolest section was this new Mitsubishi Eclipse Ralliart Turbo.
Basically they transplanted the AWD and 4G63 of an Evo VIII inside the new Eclipse... then upgraded with HKS parts to run at 400hp.
Looks hot man.. too bad, it probably won't make production, but it'd be sweet.
Comes with 20 inch (I think) rims that have a CF trim around the edges. To die for (I think AXL gonna buy liao)
