I got a wicked deal today, this is going to be a very nice winter setup that I'll enjoy looking at. Both the car and the wheels have a metallic silver flake and the wheels will match lower trim LE size, so proportionally things will be right. I also noticed that the offset on the wheels is a 35, which will flush them up like 15mm. No ragrets. No TPMS sensors would have been

Agreed. And as a real performance Toyota, the depreciation should be either.
I am actually hoping the GRolla DOES have ricer wings and stuff
I'm closer to 40 than 20, I just have no interest in stuff like that.

Yea, this is another reason I hope it's subdued. She HATES STI wangs, and writes off all WRXs too because of it. I'll reserve the racist remarks she makes...max225 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 10, 2021 9:34 pmYou know she won’t be caught dead in it.

I really do like the Cucktrek, but there's something rather about walking up to it.

Yea, it's better than a Prius or anything else in its class, but that's a pretty low bar.[user not found] wrote: ↑Sat Dec 11, 2021 11:44 amThere's nothing exciting about it.
That being said... it's not a Prius.

I'm bored enough to watch some of it, and he talks about how this time he's "smart" to buy a used car instead of a new car so he doesn't lose $10k instantly.
BRO you bought a used car when used costs more than new. The ONE TIME EVER it makes more financial sense to buy new.

MSRP on the thing in 2018 was $52k. He paid $43k. $9k off for a 3 year old lux car. "But it's a fair deal because it only has 10k miles on it".
He'll be underwater in 6 mos. for the videos of him crying, I can see the title now: "Carvana is a rip off" or the like.

$43k for a 10k mile S3 doesn't sound that bad to me. Did he say if he put anything down?Detroit wrote: ↑Sat Dec 11, 2021 7:15 pm I went down the rabbit hole...
