Saw one of these in person, in Japan of all places, what a random unicorn sighting

Knowing how cheap/broke much of the jalop crowd is...not everyone.

Yes Baltimore is a very ghetto, crime ridden city about an hr drive from Washington DC. If you heard of HBOs acclaimed crime drama The Wire, that takes place entirely in Baltimore and doesn’t misrepresent the city at all. Once you see that, you’ll know the answer to your original question

Japanese work ethic, pride and attention to detail...it’s a real thing. No better illustration than when I traveled to Japan twice this past year. There are elderly seniors whose job is to wipe down all the handrails of staircases going up/down the subway stations, and others who sweep what little trash/dirt there is…

Money can be made on both, while many OEM alloy wheels don’t look that great, they are still OEM and often overpriced if you want to replace a broken one thru a dealership. And non-enthusiasts who don’t get into the idea of aftermarket wheels, a discounted price (stolen) replacement OEM wheel is very attractive.

Look at the original post, we are talking about Baltimore here...

Go travel overseas, thats how I see them. Saw an RS4 avant in Japan last month

Ha, I totally admit it’s a low hanging fruit response, but you left yourself wide open to all those comments wording it the way you did. Perhaps you realize that as soon as you hit post, but now you have to waste time & effort qualifying your statement to others

You joke but that’s exactly it

So you liked the Cayenne & Panamera?

You are not wrong about that

Maybe change careers/explore a different line of work?

Of course they will. Both APR and GIAC will probably be all over these applications

Yes, and as someone living in LA, totally true

Yeah sadly the Q5 has the B8/8.5 A4 interior and their cabin is getting pretty old , I have a 2014 S4 myself which I love but the tech lacks basic things like a standard aux input or USB inputs

Macan shares a platform w the Q5

Amen, people who keep bitching about the way European luxury brands won’t price and option things to their price point keep missing the point those companies don’t market to them

49 grand for a brand new Porche badge. And the people who want a Porsche badge this bad, will pay for that. Maybe none of us, but Porsche didn’t market this car towards us

Read other people's criticisms about the look of the new R8, most ppl hate the looks because they think it looks like an oversized TT, that is what Im referring and I'm sure you've heard that too

RS5 & RS7
