My wife plans to see it maybe a few more times. I was disappointed with the movie. I thought it was still good, but I've read the books and felt like they didn't catch some of the main aspects of the story.

So, as reference, I've broken my collar bone, torn my meniscus (knee), slipped and hit my head on the edge of a brick fireplace, been in fights, been headbutted, a few surgeries, nut shots, etc. Worst pain I can think of, stubbing my toes. Every time I stub my little toe I swear I've broken it this time it hurts so bad.

Straight through driving would be 24 hours from Dallas, TX to Santa Barbara, CA.

Longest overall was 23 hours from Lubbock, TX to roughly Detroit, MI. Had about a 3 hour nap, then another 19 hour drive back to Dallas, TX. So about 42 hours total.

[QUOTE="quikdash6"][QUOTE="Big_Bad_Sad"] I'd never spend money on a Nissanthegerg
Then you sir, are an idiot. As for the OP, it depends on what you want. The M3 is the better overall car. More usable seating and better quality all around. However, if you're looking to race, with the money you save on the GT you can make it destroy an M3. Even with just some stiffer shocks the Mustang GT will be faster around the track. Not to mention, at least here in the states, when something breaks on the Mustang, it will be much cheaper to replace.

Why does not spending money on a Nissan make one an idiot?

It's not the fact of not spending money on the brand, it's the statement of "I'd NEVER spend money on a Nissan". This implies that he's so closed minded that given the choice between a Ford Fiesta (descent little car) and the Nissan GTR (supercar territory) he would not buy the Nissan even if money were not an issue. THAT would make someone an idiot.

Actually the smart choice would just be to buy a GT Mustang and Turbo it, there's no beating cubic inches, the only reason the GTR can even hold its own against modern day v8s(Corvettes) is because it's turbo charged about three times.

Actually the GTR is a twin turbo engine. My comment though, was just that the guy was an idiot for saying he would never spend money on a Nissan and now he says they are ****. That part of my comment had nothing to do with the M3 vs. Mustang GT debate.

To prove my point and the other that say the GT is very close to the M3 around a track.

Where should I look for them?

Anywhere you feel comfortable. There is always a chance that a dealer or individual selling cars will be shady. Best bet is when you find something you like, have someone that knows something about cars take a look at it. In fact, spend the money and take it to a mechanic before purchasing.

What are some good models?

It often times depends on the model year or year range. Volvo, Subaru, Toyota, and Honda have been considered reliable for quite a few years.

What year should they be from?

Usually as new as possible. The newer the model is, generally the fewer miles will be on it. Fewer miles tends to mean a better chance of it lasting as long as possible while you own it.

How much mileage should they have?

As few miles as possible. There are times where x number of miles vs. y number of miles doesn't amount to much difference, but best odds are to get something with as few miles as possible.

Start looking on Cars.com or Autotrader to get an idea of what models would be in your price range and then research the ones you think you might like. Knowledge is your friend.
