R35 GTRs on eBay - Let the Profiteering Begin!

Since those few lucky bastards have begun taking delivery of the much hyped GTR stateside, the question on everyone's mind has been - "Which sucker is going to drop 100 large to be the first to own one?" There are a few listed already on eBay, the one above is at $101k, 22 bids with less than 2 days to go. The smart thing would have been to take out a 2nd mortage on the house last year, preorder 4 of these bad boys and sell 3 to pay for the 1 you keep. Why the heck didn't *I* think of that?

Guess I'll have to learn to be happy with my C6 ZR1.

Several more for sale here.

Evo IX Owner Near Death Experience


What happens when a bunch of kids decide they're JDM-tite-initial-d-yo and run the Touge (aka a stretch of canyon highway that has claimed 268 lives since 1968)? Evolutionm.net reader LakerRaider soils his panties when the rear of his Evo 9 hits a patch of sand and causes him to slide right up to the precipice of a 3000ft drop. Tofu-boy's reasoning?

"i just thought it was ok as long as someone as leading, and it got easier after a few miles"

I know! I'm going to follow the kid in the car with performance in excess of his modicum of skill with my equally clueless pairing along the road that has killed over 250 people in the last thirty years. Makes perfect sense.
