Im VERY happy with my V6. I bought it because of the price and fuel mileage. I could have spent the extra 10K.. But why?? I can spend it on alot of other things. It gets me from point A to point B just fine and i have the same body lines. If I want the sound or poor gas mileage ill drive my Real Hot Rod. Simply is "Too each his or Her own" Just enjoy and have fun.

I wonder how many of those that went out to eat at Chipotle thought they would get E.Coli? Luckily, nobody died from it.

I wonder how many people going to see a parade think about a crazy person turning their car in to a killing machine by running them over?

I've been rear ended on my bike by a cage. I've also had my right of way taken away, and struck by a cage (herniated disk, now degenerated disk disease). Two accidents in over 35 years of street riding... and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

I'm a member of the IBA. I like to ride. I've ridden over 1k miles in 18 hours to eat a hamburger with friends.

300 miles for a cup of coffee, no problem... good BBQ or pie has no limit. I used to average 10-15k miles on my bike a year.

You can see life from inside a bubble, or a cage... or you can feel, smell, and really live life on a bike.

When I start my Camaro, it stirs my heart... when I start my bike, it stirs my soul.

Damn that's deep right there! I should of kept my Gixxer! I miss it everyday

Just means your not trying hard enough! I single handedly got the last V8 vs EB thread shut down over on my forum.

As an owner one V6 Camaro for 2 1/2 years, and a second V6 Camaro for the last 4 years and 9 months I can honestly say I have never said "I wish I had bought a V8". I paid cash for both cars and I could have paid cash if I had wanted an SS.
I am sure everyone has their reasons for buying what they did. What Irks me is when someone tries to tell me (or anyone else)that they know I really wanted.

So buy what you want, drive and enjoy what you buy, if you decide later you want something else then buy it.
Drive safely and remember life is short and you never know what is around the next turn.

Be careful. They're very sensitive. Much like automatic drivers are.

But those auto guys that can bang gears no problem have the best of both worlds. They win races and call bullshit to the manual drivers excuses.You know the ones ....bogged...missed shift....hit the limiter....clutch is slipping...short shifted......geez i could go on all night.

...oh and the ever popular....started in the wrong gear.
