Ops my bad. Yeah a nice "upgrade" for someone who only wants 2 seats.

Once installed and tuned the warranty is gonzo. So that's a big commitment that I just can't justify. It would take a special person.
20k off sounds a little stretched considering that the car is a special order. Doesn't make sense to me but i dont know.

ATTN OWNERS: 275/40/17 is one of the sizes being made.
I'd have gone 255/285 anyway on those

Exactly my thoughts, but I was going to keep them to myself. Since you chimed in, I will agree.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2018 2:35 pmI actually don't think this car is cool at all. It's questionable whether this green is pulled off on an RSR, it is most certainly not pulled off on this. The DUB chrome RAMZ are hideous. It's a Miami Vice version of an Audi? It's really just a garish GoRf Karmann Ghia.
Also, I went to the Audi website and saw the TTRS... how is this.... as part of the "Dynamic Plus package" you pay $6,000 for CF engine cover, Direct TPMS, Front ceramic brakes, OLED taillights, RS fixed sport suspension and 174mph top speed limiter.
So, you end up with mis-matched brakes, carbon up front and iron out back. Audi...

These things are coming along nicely, night and day in my experience between mk6 and mk7. No idea about real men's cars like da porsche or Ultimate Bobble Machine[user not found] wrote:The M4 I drove today was fantastic, and the M3s I've driven in the past have been fine.
My only qualms about any DCT I've driven thus far aside from Porsche's PDK is how long it takes to engage reverse.

Tiguan vs Tiguan R-Line
Turns out Europe released our ver of the R-Line from the giddy-up and we are just now seeing the handsome version this year.
Still but it looks nice

Kia Sphincter looking ok. I enjoyed sitting in it and blasted beat45 on Serious with bass cranked all the way up right as i got out for the next passer buyers. Not sure why. Just seemed right. These are my quirks.

I can, you can't. Golf R and E-golf have the $2999 30 paint pallet option including dat purp.Johnny_P wrote:Hyundai Kona looks good.
I dig the purple dubs. Wish you could actually get them in that color.
I heard Muricans mentioning their dissatisfaction with the limitations on vape forums. Weird man, such

That being said, a base A3 Quattro with a cool color and sport package for like $35k isn't too bad. The problem is that it's worth $15k in 3-4 years.

I think people sell their cars way too often. Keeping a new 35k car for 8-10 yrs isn't terrible is it?troyguitar wrote:We can get the custom colors, but only on Audi and Porsche stuff.Tarspin wrote:I can, you can't. Golf R and E-golf have the $2999 30 paint pallet option including dat purp.

Same problem... It's worth $5k then. If you started with a $60k Cayman it would lose (cost) the same $30k, so why bother with the A3?Tarspin wrote:I think people sell their cars way too often.

Start with a $60k used 911 and it'll still be worth $40k+ in the same 8-10 years... You save money by buying better cars.

Yup i get that, but the better cars are less usable then an A3 over the time frame and maint/fuel is double or tripple. Either way, all three of those options are cheaper then leasing something for 600/mth and that's where I'm thinking that buy and hold whatever is cheaper then or lease. Plus there's tax and tags etc which also lean the equation towards long term car ownershit. I never did the math in great detail just guesstimating.troyguitar wrote:Same problem...

Especially if you're a like me who mods everything at least a little bit.
Dunno if I'll ever get to that point
I think my only chance at eliminating is if I get a garaj mahal so that my stupidity can be focused on a race car, while the DD and tow vehicles are mere tools that don't get traded until they're falling apart.
