I was responding to a post comparing the Z4 and the Corvette, I was talking about how a Corvette is not that heavy for it’s SIZE. That’s why I specifically mentioned it’s size, I owned one, it’s a big car, full stop.

What does the 911 have to do with anything? Yes, the 911 is another BIG sports car. I think you might…

Yep, been available since 2016 MY (2015 was the only year that was DSG only). Sorry to be the bearer of bad news... :/ 

They come in stick, mine is... 

how ridiculous what is? Sorry, you are not making any sense. I pointed out that the C7 is a big car, which is true, I really am not getting what you are pointing out, it sounds like you are in agreement... 

I went from paying about $1400 a year to $2300 a year. But your example makes more sense, you went from a truck which has a relatively low crash rate, to one of the most crashed cars on the road, a squirrely RWD sports car.

I went from a 2 door RWD 460hp beast to an AWD family car worth less... I have to guess that…

What’s your point?

It’s not what they put in it, it’s what GM put in the Corvette. Lightweight carbon/fiberglass body, aluminum pushrod small block (lighter than much smaller DOHC engines), balsawood in the floors, you should really read up on the Corvette, it is definitely a BIG car (it has the footprint of a crossover SUV) but it is…

This car is gonna cost 2x+ what a Miata/Fiata costs, there is no way anyone is cross shopping them

Wat? super-lite? There is no way this comes out much lighter than a corvette. 

I think the GTI is...fine, but think about it this way would you trade in your Golf R for a GTI to save a little money? I wouldn’t...

The insurance cost on my Golf R is CRAZY, way more than the C7 corvette I had right before it

Why wouldn’t you get a Golf R as a replacement? 

For sure, I blows my mind that before kids I legitimately had periods of time where I was like “ugh, there is nothing new to watch”

That makes total sense, sorry if I came off snarky. I guess my thought on that is, probably you can find something funny, sweet, sincere if those shows disappear?

I knew you were forgetting parks and Rec btw, since I started typing it out on accident in my original reply before I realized you hadn’t said it.

For me,…

You know there are new things to watch on Netflix right? I mean, 30 rock and New girl are great but I am not seeing the replay value... maybe I just need more free time? 

I love how quick people are to weaponize their superscribership when Netflix tries something. 

Thank you for that knowledge 

You are assuming those things have not evolved since then which is the furthest thing from the truth. Also, I don’t think the he would mention the step in height if it wasn’t something that was on his mothers mind...

In one breath you say it should be safe and easy to see and get in and out of, and in the next you recommend buying her a 20+ year old car with poor ingress and egress and no modern safety features...

He said it had to be automatic.

Even on the stock 4x4 suspension?
