The sick part is, he’s 100% right, and despite that he’s getting shit for it. All official business in the country is done in English. It’s our official language, even if the government refuses to put it in writing. Either speak it, or go away. When my grandparents came here, they learned English and it’s all they

Durable? Not even close. I’ve grenaded half a dozen of them in Mustangs and Econolines, all with under 100k miles.

European gas is no better than ours. They measure octane in RON. We measure in AKI, which is RON+MON/2. Their 95 is essentially equal to our 91, and their 98 is our 93. Same gas, different way of measuring octane.

My mom looked at these last month when she finally ditched her Maxima. Thankfully I talked her out of it. Ended up leasing an Equinox LT 2.0T. Still not great, but better.

I LOVE these. In fact, I’ve been looking for one, or a Roadmaster for the past few months. Problem is, they book in the $3k area, and they’re all priced 2-7 times that. I’m not paying at least double the value for something that’s likely to need thousands of dollars in work. It doesn’t make sense.

There’s no Accord. It’s a Civic. If you can’t tell them apart, what are you doing on an “enthusiast”, and I use the term very loosely, site.

You people must not keep track of Supra’s much. All the quickest ones are automatic. Of course, not Toyota’s automatic, but automatic none the less. In fact, there are far more auto swaps than manual swaps. Manuals are for Dyno queens since they absorb less power. For people who actually race their cars, the autos

I wouldn’t say it’s the same basic engine. One turbo vs two. Air to air intercooling vs air to water. Pretty substantial differences.

Because depreciation is a bitch. I had to pay over $20,000 to trade in my 750Li. It depreciated faster than the payments. And it wasn’t a one time thing. I ended up upside down on cars every time. That’s why I started leasing. Because I can just give it back and it doesn’t cost me anything extra. Plus my payments are

Who wants a base anything?

$750 for an X2? I’m only paying $673 for my loaded X3, taxes included, and put very little down (Was paying $718 for my loaded 335GT before this, both with mid $60k stickers). It’s all dependent on the residual. I was able to get a ridiculous 65% over 3 years on the 17 X3 35i, so that helped a ton. If they’re giving

You sure about that? The regular M2 has a single turbo N55. This one has a twin turbo S55. Not the same, not even close. Who cares about looks? A lot of us don’t. That’s why we hot rod sedans, wagons and SUVs. Give me this power train in a wagon or hatchback and I’d be in heaven.

They weren’t even offered in manual for a couple years. Auto is just plain better with a turbo.

This looks amazing. Not thrilled with the engine though. It’s an RS. Where’s the 4.0T?

Slamming the doors can knock loose the internals. It’s also low class. Soft close just pulls it shut so it never gets slammed.

I’m calling bs. I had those on my 750 and X5. They don’t close from a foot open and if they hit anything they immediately stop. Even if they didn’t, what idiot rests their hands on the door pillars?

Never run an engine without an air filter. If you can’t make power with one, then you’re not really making power. Moron.

It’s way overpriced. I looked at them before my last lease in September. A well equipped Black Label is over $80k. I’m not paying $80,000 for any Lincoln, especially not one based on a $30,000 Ford. They need to knock about 20 grand off the price to make it even an option. Same with Cadillac. The CTS-V and Escalade

All the fastest Supra Turbos are automatic (not this gearbox, GM ones usually). Don’t bash it. Even though it’s a Japanese box from the 90s, which are normally horrible, it can still outshift any human being. It’s just not all that strong.

I can’t wait either. I owned a CTS-V, I owned a 750Li. Now I get to put them together. Unfortunately though, I’m seeing a price much closer to the Bimmer. This is a 6 figure car.
