:plac: finds v2.0: Moar gold on the crangslist

I mean at MSRP seems fine? Times are tough, everyone’s getting laid off, no one wants a $65k Civic anymore.

Sawce's Toy Car

Wireless CarPlay kind of blows ass in general, I've used it in many rentals from different manufacturers and plugging in is just better at this time. My accord is weird on that. Mine is the wireless and sometimes I put my phone on charger, but half the time when I take the charger off, the CarPlay ...

The basic bitch parks like that that are just roller coasters are alright. We have Carowinds here, lines are like +/- 30 minutes and passes are maybe $50. Disney and Sea World can fuck right off though, the prices, the crowds, the children, just hard fucking :nope: Disney was the least fun part of ...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

I washed my car by hand yesterday. Rain today-Tuesday or I would this weekend. Next weekend looks good for a wash though. See how the weather looks the week after that to see if it’s worth spending the time or not. Mine was covered in pollen and there's no rain for about a week, so I figured it's a...

Man the employee discount saved my ass on the S4. Diag, new master, new slave, new lines, and oil change for $700 all in. Non employee oil change pricing alone is $345. I'm getting all OEM Sachs parts too. :amazing: That is epic dude. Sounds like that will enable the S4 to live to at least a half m...

Bolded is the big thing. If I can do the riding I want without touching my car, yes please. In an ideal world, my car would only be for pleasure drives, I want to commute where I need by bike and ride bikes for fun without getting my car dirty or burning fuel/time not riding. I haven't done a grave...

Gravel bikes make me scratch my head a bit. They seem to me like they just aren't particularly good at anything. They aren't quick on the road if they have actual gravel tires, but then they aren't capable enough on true singletrack to make much sense there. If it's just rough roads you're trying t...

I still really want a gravel bike but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger as I don't know how much use I'll really get. The main thing would be there's some really fun/fast MTB trails down in SC I can get to from my house almost entirely by paved greenway. It's about 12 miles each way, so it's a slog ...

Thanks for sharing, y'all. We have discussed visiting SD on numerous occasions, :tits: has never been. She is more and more uncomfortable in big cities, around homeless, etc. for some reason.

And why I enjoy just having one that's simple and relatively slow.
The power is fine, but the real magic of the GR86 is the lightweight and it's great chassis. It's a laser focused driving experience.
In my old age the feel of the inputs is what I care about most :wrong:

Do ya'll fit into the S2k? that thing is frigging tiny for linebackers. It feels like the proper height of someone driving one starts with a 5 Yeah, but not too comfortably.

400hp at two wheels was scary enough IMO, I'd rather keep a car like that stock and clean if bought new. Going too fast could promote hefty fines that include criminal repercussions.
