My indecisive nature prevails again....I've run across a deal that I'm finding it difficult to make a decision about, hopefully you guys can help.

Some of you have heard that Shamou, the whale of a 3000gt is back in the area, awaiting the final touches on it's resurrection from the dead. Alas tamer than when it last terrorized the streets, it will still be a deadly beast for such a fat ass. Comfy and prestigious, a true Japanese "supercar".

I think most of you have seen my Talon and know what it's about. If not, check out my garage.

Basically I've got an opportunity to get Shamou back. This requires selling my Talon however, cause I'm poor.

Tough decision, keep the Talon, or sell it and get Shamou... Whatca think?

That is a tough one. I haven't been able to make up my mind since I first read your post Rob.

Probably the most pointed decision maker for me would be if I couldn't make the 3000 look nearly perfect from the outside again then I wouldn't waste time. The 3000 in my mind is about a certain amount of pretige or class with performance. I'm not saying it's a Bently or a Ferrari and not nearly in the same class in this area. However, compared to a Talon or Eclipse it's a good 2-3 steps up in class or prestige in others minds. Unless it has primer on it or bent body panels...then it looks like Joe Dirt got a good deal on what used to be a good car.

Your talon is getting pretty nice though... And it can always be faster than the 3000. biggthumpup.gif
