Hello all, My name is Glenn, I am an american who has been living in Germany for the last 14 years.

I have never owned an American car, I used to look down on them for thier looks (Subjective I know) Quality, and generally low tech engines. My first performance car was a 1993 Nissan Skyline I bought in 04 and brought to Germany,
Here are some Pics of me on the track, some of you may recognize which track it is.




And a trip to Amsterdam, did not go so well

Only reason I was still smiling is because I was "Happy"
It was among the best cars ever made for the Autobahn and Track

My car collection grew as I got promoted and made more money
Bought this in England because i was used to right hand drive now


And This, honestly the least reliable car I ever owned,:headbonk:


It blew the transmission at the Hockenheim ring on the first lap. Sold it to a guy there for 1500 euro and took the Train home

I kept my cars at work because of fences and armed guards, Benefits of being a Military contractor.




The Supra However was a star





The Lady in the car filming will soon become my wife, she drives this by the way, Also Right hand drive.



Disaster struck and I got laid off, had to sell the skyline, Supra blew the engine after 280,000 miles and I didn't have the money to fix it so parted it out.

I always said if an American company would build a turbo, RWD car with good looks and fuel economy, great handling, a good interior and a sub 30k price tag I would buy it.

I just got promoted to a management position in my new job and my only question is

Magnetic grey or Deep Impact Blue?, I cant decide!

Get magnetic, for some reason the EB in my eyes looks toyish in DIB but the 5.0 doesn't. Maybe because I came from a DIB '13 5.0 lol I don't know. I have a guard metallic EB now and love that thing to death, my buddy with a supra drove it and he's like god damn it I may have to get one of these now it's so fun and reminds me so much of my car

Yeah I liked the test drive in the EB, it's what sold me, I will skip the PP because the ride was fairly harsh and the shorter gears will cut into mileage and 93 octane here is about $7 a gallon.

What do you think of Black?

Well you need 91 or 93 octane for this vehicle regardless. PP with the high gears is what tuned me off from the EB because you're right it does defeat the purpose of great MPGs, I'll drive this car like there's no tomorrow and average 19 mpgs, drive it like a normal human being and get 24 in the city:hail:

Black in MY opinion is a color I will never choose again because it's always dirty and it hides the body lines of any car, sure it looks great clean and shiny for the 30 minutes it stays that way :D Plus in gloomy UK you want a color that will hopefully withstand some weather and still look good. Magnetic would be my choice in your shoes but try to look at both in person and then decide!
