STI but more comfortable and ‘special’ screams nice sports sedan. Budget: 3g TL. Not worried about budget: Audi S or BMW M

or, you know, because you bought a lemon, you’re s.o. leaves you/goes crazy/cheats on you/steals your children/cheats on your joint taxes/etc, you need to deal with an estate/will for yourself or a family member, you need to close on a piece of real estate, etc. etc. etc....

Totally depends on your practice area, location, nature of your firm, etc. Many of my clients have seen my car multiple times (or see me pull up), some have ridden in it, etc.

everyone makes fun of lawyers until they need one...

4th gen Acura TL sh-awd. Available with 6mt. Its a good car, and should be able to find one in the price range.

Anecdotes do not equal statistics

Lawyer here... 100% agree.

What? Um... WRX? BRZ?

came here for this... take my star

I don’t think it is anywhere near that simple.

He was being way more generic than that when he said “Shame Americans always choose black silver and white.”

That is because the dealers, by and large, only stock black, silver, or white. That isn’t because all Americans want it.

I came here to say this - good read. Have my star.

I used to believe this, until I drove a Model S. It is hard to say, but my “butt dyno” says its faster than my TL, and it was nearly as fun to drive. I drove a base model s, but my guess is the performance models would be more fun.

Came here looking for a picture of the professor - wasn’t disappointed to see this.

Yes... in a TL. I have a 6mt/v6 TL from 2005.... and it drives great. Its not a race car, but it is plenty of fun enough to enjoy driving and it feels reasonably fast.

so many people do this and then say stuff like “I’ll never buy another one again because the engine seized” with absolutely no recognition that they caused the issue.

How did I know this was a Torchinsky article without even reading the by-line?
