I remember back in the glory days of my undergraduate college career (2000-2003, the heyday of The Fast & The Furious) my roommate got a MKIV supra turbo and promptly dropped another $15k into it on top of purchase price. Another friend bought a low mileage two tone MKIII supra turbo, literally, from an old woman for…

“I have a job and a life outside Kinja”

Apparently not since you went to the trouble to use the specific name for some BS branded platform that they’re trying to make some sort of weird social media thing.

“Can those seats soothe your sore ass too? Seems not.”

Man, you’re the one that’s all jealous of people that go…

Wow, it took you that long to come up with a reply? Since I made that comment, I drove my truck two days one way to Colorado, spent a couple weeks up there, and then drove two days back in spacious comfort. Of course, it’s summer so I took advantage of my truck’s air conditioned and massaging seats.

I could see it being put out under Cadillac, but think that, because of the rest of their lineup, it’d be doomed form the start.

Why in god’s name would they spend twice the amount of money to build two different cars, on two different platforms, in order to partially cannibalize their own sales?

Are you fucking smoking crack?  Do you even know how vehicle design works?  I mean, obviously you don’t because you asked the question you did, but you don’t design a sports car to be able to just toss an engine in the middle or in the back depending on trim.  Engines take up a lot of space, you know.  Two possible…

You shut your whore mouth!

Did you actually watch The Manual? I did and assume that you haven’t because no reasonable mind could watch that and seriously recommend it to someone else.

I want the car from this classic thread from The Car Lounge. BMW 5 series individual wagon, painted metallic brown, with an LSX swap, and the interior from an M5.  Still one of my dream cars!

I vaguely recall seeing or reading somewhere that these things, as badass as they look, had horrible problems with breaking down.  I could be wrong, and I don’t have a source that I can cite, only a general recollection.

I run, but I need to get on doing more squats because how else am I going to get the chiseled ass of a Greek god?

What’s entitled about it? I bust my ass, need a truck, and can afford a nice one. I test drove a 2018 Limited and a raptor back to back when looking at trading in my 2016 Platinum 3.5L ecoboost. The Raptor wasn’t that much faster than the Limited, was loud inside, had sloppy handling, and a relatively crap interior…

Die, now for even less money!

Dear fucking lord.

But for real, though. I goddamn hate the wood door trim on my new truck. I didn’t get the fanciest F-150, but I got the next-to-fanciest F-150 with the dark interior. The wood door inserts literally look like someone shaped a 2x4 and fucking spray painted it black.

I test drive a limited and that wood looked chintzy…

“Your F-150 Platinum’s MSRP was more than $52k.”

I guess the question is how long it’ll take for them to get to 50k.  If production numbers are sufficiently low, it may be that only 10 year old models with the interiors worn away, burst seams on side bolsters, stained door cards, etc, hit that price.

I can’t wait for these to drop to $50k used, though I’d want a bitch bucket version, so a convertible.  It’s not like it’s a serious sports car anyway, so I wouldn’t feel bad about getting the less hardcore convertible model.

Yeah, I call bullshit.  My 2018 F-150 Platinum with the 3.5 L ecoboost was 52k or therabouts.  A STX for 45k?  GTFO.

Eh, fuck em.  At least this way they’ll go more quickly and cause less damage to the people around them.
