custom guitar and electronic drums cost about the same as a set of good

She's not wrong on any account, in fact her beef is my beef with the car. I pointed out a Hellcat today and she said it was stupid too "why do you like all these dumb cars you can't fit in or drive?"
I reminded her that I fit in the Challenger fine but she thinks i should just have a Gladiator Rubicon and end discussion. She might not be wrong there tbh.

Dude. Chally Hellkitten would be AWESOME where you live. Detroit is all straight boulevards right? Bullet straight roads that you can hammer down are the only type that make sense in a hellcat!
Can you get them with heated steering wheels?
B5 blue! Plum Crazy! Go Mango! F8 Green! Faster than your vette while being more comfortable, android auto, heated steering wheel, rides better, etc...
I dunno man. This is an epic car for $65k.

The bike equivalent of a drivable NA miata is my old Schwinn that was $50 on crangslist 10 years ago and still works fine.

Sell your car then. Leave the man card in the glovebox for the next owner.
Oh for sure, nobody needs a $5k bike.troyguitar wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2019 9:32 amThe bike equivalent of a drivable NA miata is my old Schwinn that was $50 on crangslist 10 years ago and still works fine. You don't need a $5000 bike.Johnny_P wrote:

Decent driver NAs cost a good 5-8k now. That buys you a lot of bike.

A few things. It still comes with 20's, which will be an atrocious ride most of the time. Tire blow outs, bent rims, etc. The streets on my new commute are a bit better, but not much more. I'd also have a really hard time spending $65k on a car I didn't drive year round. And I don't really think a Hellcat is a good year-round vehicle in Michigan.

The main road we live off (Woodward, as in the "Dream Cruise") has a 45 mph speed limit, and all along it are cities that use the speeders on Woodward as a method of boosting their coffers. Go much over 10 over, and you're done. Same with accelerating quickly from a light...they consider that "racing" regardless of if you are racing or not, and that's a hefty ticket. My new commute is going to be 80% along Woodward, so the opportunity for fun is minimal.
There's ONE on-ramp by our house onto 1-696 that I can blast down, but I usually hit 100 when I top 3rd, so if I'm unlucky, there's another ticket. I also drove down it yesterday and the freeze thaw has done a number on it, it's heaved all over the place so I'm not sure I get evendown it anymore.
TBH, cruising down Woodward with the top and doors off a Gladiator sounds way more fun to me at this point.

On the radar, but the size of the wheels and overall cost will probably keep me away.razr390 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2019 12:05 pmWide-body scat pack.Detroit wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2019 9:03 am

You’d probably get a bitchin’ deal on one. It seems the best compromise between completely useable power and comfortable GT/cruiser
