Is it possible to afford the car of your dreams?

porsche design


I’m wondering why you can’t take the body of a Porsche Cayman or any other nice car and put a more affordable V6 (or even less powerful) engine in it. I’m sure you can still design the engine so that it balances the car and does whatever other aerodynamic functions it does.

    there are some places that sell body kits that you can put on other frames to make it look like the car you want, but inside would be something else. What I have seen this with is a Pontiac Fiero that had a Ferrari body on it.

    hellooo
    what you are talking about is a kit car… look an ebay you see thme all the time..
    They make farrari , lamborgini, porche look alikes.. even fully built some can be bought for a little over 10,000 on ebay.
    If you know some one whos mechanically inclined or you are your self you could build one using the chassis engine and running gear off a donor car… BTW .. in the 1990s there was one in europe call an Panache….. It turned more heads than a lamborgini countach…. It was stunning. .

    There use to be a lot of this kind of thinking back in the 90′s.

    But eventually the trend just die out because there is nothing like driving a real thing.

    Porsche, Ferrari, Honda NSX, Lambo, engineers have designed the car to be a total balance package.

    And driving pleasure of these cars is total joy, not just the brand.

    If you have cheapo internals like you suggested, it will just be wrong.

    Pluse no one likes a fake anyway.

    This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

    If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

    The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

    Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
