Didnt do auto engg, did MBA and PHD. and this incident was in florida, bocaraton where i did my mba . name of college is FAU . its one of the richest towns in US or say a celebrity town. Every public figure used to have a house in this town. all you see is old guys with least expensive car would be a 100k $ sl500. no wonder they pounder on you for fees. I think its close to 10k$ for 3 courses or a semester.

this is in south florida. I used to commute 90miles everyday to college and used to take me an hr.

need advice on colleges pm me.

Apparently the V6 is now available in a manual as well...
Heard ssomeonw booked one already in B'Lore... again, this is a rumour, but a very strong one - almost everyone seems to be sayin its true...

EDIT - All accords apparently have been launched in manual, not just the V6...

i'm sorry but sachin doesn't own an enzo. he isn't even worth the ferrari 360 he owns. the lucky fellow just got it for free from fiat india. he didnt even pay for the custom duties.... and to my knowledge not even for the fuel.

oh i'm sorry my friend but porsche never produced the enzo.

tachometer · 25th April 2005, 00:54

dude.. corrections been made

typing mistake...
my apologies
and i couldnt really tell which 1 was it...!

nitrous · 25th April 2005, 01:03

if i aint wrong, i believe the 3.0L V6 accord is sold as an automatic the worldover.

Nope, the 3ltr V6 Accord Coupe has a 6 speed M/T.

And tachometer, i dunno what you saw but, if you can't differentiate between a 360 Modena and an Enzo (which don't look anything like each other), chances are, it maynot have been a Ferrari after all.

tachometer · 25th April 2005, 03:03

dude..
was an honest mistake.. was thinking about the modena.. but was typing "enzo"

tried to correct that.. but since you are alllowed to edit a post only for 20 min after posting.. couldnt do so....
but it definitely was a ferrari.. can vouch for that!!
