Well, at least you'll never get stuck next to the fat guy..because the fat guy will get stuck at the start of the aisle and thus will be told to just go home.

I’m always surprised at how much 911 Turbos sound like shit when I mash the gas pedal, but that’s just my two bitter ass cents.

Easier solution: don’t have friends, get rich, only own a Ferrari.

Got ‘em with that Latin. High school Latin class finally paid off for me today.

Yup.

So what you're saying is that this is the Mercedes G550/G63 of planes? Old thing, new screens!

Back in the days when displacement meant something and their cars were both interesting and beautiful:

Honestly, if I am going with a California (for some unbeknownst reason), I’ll just go grab a Maserati convertible instead because why not. Both aren’t worth the money but at least one isn’t a total ripoff ;) haha.

I know my Stingray says it can get 29mpg on the highway and gets 12mpg if driven properly. That’s my study of fuel economy.

BMW = cushy ass daily driver for people who want to think they drive a fast car.

Agreed. Even the C7 Z51 @ 465hp is hairy. It’s fun to track/autocross but also wildly frustrating to track/autocross because you are fighting the car the entire time. Shit wants to spin like a top everywhere. On throttle, off throttle, on brake, off brake, going straight in neutral..it’s just fucking spinning.

Haha, nice. My wife has a tainted Golf TDi I drive sometimes. I usually daily my Audi A7. VW group daily drivers are pretty nice and American pushrods for going quick seem to resolve most issues.

I hit the midlife crisis real early around 26. Fortunately, I still own both of my houses.

That’s how mine looks in the garage.

THIS. Glad someone can understand the point.

;) get less poor and drive some more expensive cars, you’ll see what I mean

My business partner has a Ghibli S Q4 or whatever the fuck they call those. Seats are pretty nice, the rest of the car feels cheap as fuck. It’s also not very quick, the transmission and motor feel laggy as all hell, etc.

The second VW announces that I can drop off my wife’s 2013 Golf TDi for a pile of cash, I am taking that offer and immediately applying the cash to something that probably will pollute the environment more - but legally this time! (2013 Mercedes G550)

Learn what your “debt to income ratio” is and never let it exceed 20%. Banks will lend you up to 45% (or 50%+ for less reputable financing). You are basically in fiscal ruin at 50%+ in my opinion because this ratio does not factor for living expenses removed from those reported on your credit report. I run around 2%

All of this is very accurate. The only situation where massive rollbars and shocks and springs being changed independently ever make sense (in my opinion) is because SCCA street class autocross rules.
