Thanks! She may be getting an S5 in the near future . We've already planned our garage and she unfortunately has dibs on a Veyron and a new LP640...

 

so then you have the URquattro S1 and the F40 right??


she sounds like an awesome girl

 

Shes kind of my dream girl, loves cars, can actually drive stick, probably knows more about sports than I do, and did I mention absolutely gorgeous?? Haha

I have dibs on the koenigsegg ccxr, the le mans r8, an SLR, murcielago LP640 (since she wants the gallardo LP and I have to have the faster car), and the ME 4-12. We were limiting ourselves to 5 cars each.

 

You don't have a tow pig in there??? how are you gonna tow a boat if you have 5 supercars??

 

Good point, thats when the 6.6L Duramax comes in! Think I might have to do with the 3500 dually also... manual of course for hauling. And maybe an RS6 daily driver.

 

now your getting the point. here is my 5 car garage that I could actually live with (using cars that I can currently get)


1. Audi RS4
2. Ferrari F40 or Lambo LP640 (it's a toss up)
3. Lotus Exige
4. Chevy 2500 HD with the Duramax
5. 1971 Cuda with a 440 and a 6 barrel, with a 4 on the floor.


Bonus round
1. Super Air Nautique 220
2. Ski Nautique 206
3. 35' fountain lightning with Lambo V12's

 

The MTM SC is a must with the RS4. And a lotus really? Last Lotus I looked at was using a 1.8T from Audi...

I'm not a big fan of Nautiques, I'd get a 272 Cobalt and a 302 as the mother ship.

 

Yeah a lotus, BTW they use Honda engines I think, but light weight, great handling, and it would be a toy and then think about this. SC that thing and get it making somewhere around 400bhp in a car that barley tips 2000lbs and you have something that would be a pure thrill to throw into the corners.


I don't know I'm on a Nautique thing right now, and I'm looking for a serious watersports boat. I've never ridden behind a cobalt and when looking at there website they seem more like a booze cruiser than something to tear it up behind.

I'm seriously condiering getting an old Ski Nautique now that they're about 10K for one in good condition (talking about on built around 89-90) or at least attempting to convice the parents to get one for the "family"



I also think we might be getting boats for different reasons lets take a look shall we... here are my three

Air Nautique 220


and we'll just do the lightning to get the idea across
35' Lightning



vs

272 cobalt

and
302 cobalt



I'd also be open to a Malibu Response LXi over the Ski Nautique. I don't know I just think we have different ideals in mind when it comes to boats. What makes you want the cobalts so badly?

 

lotus uses toyota engines, to correct colin - but everything else you said is correct

 

The 272 is a great boat, its the perfect size and with a 496 MAG HO will still hit 60mph. Its big enough its comfortable to lounge on, but its still great for wakeboarding and tubing the deep V sets a huge wake. Now the 302 is ******* HUGE. You dont quite understand how big this thing is until you have it on the trailer; hangs over the side amost a good foot and its probably over 15' tall. The interior is amazing with endless lounge room to lay out, pretty much the epitome of a party boat. They actually have a tow hitch on the tower so you could ride behind it. With twin 496 MAG HOs the thing gets up and GOES.

I work for a Marine during the summer and on Lake Tahoe cobalts are the primary boats, so we have plenty I'm constantly hauling around and launching. The girlfriend has a 06 272 and I absolutely love it compared to my families 252.

In the end Cobalt is definitely a different price range and are easily the high end boats along side Formula.
