Much agreement!

Go on craigslist and see how cheap the German cars go for because nobody wants an older, German mechanical nightmare :P

Alternativelt, my personal experience is the opposite. My last Subaru made it to 286,000 before I sold it (did need the head gaskets replaced due to that known defect.) Meanwhile, my dad's much newer Audi A6 was ALWAYS in the shop for repairs. Even had to be towed once. He dumped it at just over 100k miles when he got…

The thing is that to those people, it’s more like being told that the HotWheels you want to buy costs $1.33, instead of $0.99. Like, are you really going to walk away from a HotWheels car you REALLY want over 34 cents? That IS 1/3 MORE than you were hoping to spend, but... it’s 33 cents.

There are plenty of reasons for this:

NVH: Modern cars are much quieter, and much more comfortable. The less vibrations, and noise, and “sensations of speed” you get, then the slower it will feel. It’s the reason why it’s so easy to speed when you rent a luxury car that rides so smoothly and quietly.

Visibility: Modern…

Well... as far as the accident and getting out of the plane... nobody on the ground probably did much of anything. The aircraft crashed unexpectedly immediately after takeoff. I doubt a single emergency vehicle arrived before all of the passengers had gotten out.

Tires are definitely NOT the best bank for your buck on the track. Pads and fluid, and the ability to run some camber would be FAR better upgrades for sure. I absolutely agree with you on that.

I just like having good rubber on my car. Just because I didn’t crash my BRZ left and right on the stock tires, doesn’t mean I…

We will have to agree to disagree. I know plenty of people who would disagree with a lot of what you just said. My current vehicle is a great example. The stock tires (215 section width) were hydroplaning champions at even moderate speeds, and had very little wet weather grip overall. My replacements, despite being…

It has nothing to do with track driving. Good tires also significantly improve wet weather grip, hydroplaning resistance, stopping distance, accident avoidance ability. Arguably, the street requires a better tier of tire than the track does.

Physical Mod: Tires. Anyone who says otherwise is a lying sumbitch, or did the wrong first modification.

Overall Mod: Driver mod. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know that they suck at driving.

I had 55,000 miles on my completely unprotected black plastic lip on my lowered BRZ (before I smashed it on a snow bank.) It looked fine. Black plastic is not paint. It doesn’t wind up with unsightly chipped off paint that shows underlying metal or plastic. It just wears. The plastic is black. Chips are black. You’d…

You're thinking of the Civic Type R, not the Chiron. The Chiron is much more elegant on the outside.

No, and it wasn’t supposed to be faster than a standard BRZ. The version I bought was the Series.Blue, which came with a lovely interior (blue leather and Alcantara, and blue stitching) to match the exterior, along with some other features, and a full STI exterior kit (front lip, skirts, spats, and black STI wheels…

Whoa. You’ve stumbled upon something mind-blowing. It’s almost as if this car wasn’t targeting the demographic of people who need more horsepower to ENJOY a car! *GASP!*

A vape store just opened across the street from where I live. From Day 1, there is only one vehicle that is consistently parked outside of it (clearly the owner/manager/whatever), and it is a black WRX, lol.

FWIW, I get 34 highway at 78 MPH in my BRZ... which is rated at 30 highway... and that rating is probably at a much more fuel-efficient 55 MPH. So... yeah, I’m getting significantly better mileage than what it says on the sticker. And that’s on not perfectly flat highway, with occasionally angry acceleration when…

Don’t think they can’t be had at discounted prices. Nobody pays MSRP for these things. Back in 2015, the BRZ Series.Blue was the coveted special edition, with an MSRP of $30,000. I asked if the dealer would take $27,350, and they agreed without any hesitation. My friend got his Series.Blue for $27,500.

I bought a special version of this car. It’s a blast!

Holy shit. You are a complete nutjob... or a master troll...

My castle is at Level 9!
