2024 plac thread !

The prius front should have been accompanied with sleek new side apertures... The old ones make it look like a half cycle refresh. I really like the interior updates though! If I could afford a sportscar I'd strongly consider a lowball offer on a new Nissan Z. They price out new as low as 65k CAD l...

JK I'm cash broke as fuck and gas taxes keep skyrocketing causing inflationary issues and artificially high interest rates. *le-sigh*
Dammit! I got stoked on some action around here.

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

We can't help it we live in flyover country, bro! I'd be pretty open to one EV in the house, I'd be curious to try one, but I don't really want one and I don't think my wife does either, so not happening. I actually think a Civic interior is far nicer than a Tesla interior, but that's fairly subjec...

Man Movies

Hey dudes, hope all is well with you! So many great flicks already listed, it forces me to contribute from some of the lesser referenced, but equally impactful (to me), or easy to watch numerous times, kind of movies. I realize most are more funny than manly lol: True Romance The Usual Suspects Tra...

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. It's funny, she works in downtown Charlotte, and I think we're neck and neck in population with SD, but we ...

You of all people who have owned multiple Tessies and an M3 said yourself it's not really a comparison? The M3 has noises, a manual, sensations, actually looks cool, no epic depreciation, history, C&C cred... I dunno. Tesla is a better commuter. M3 is a better everything else. AND the fact that...

OT 21: DFD Giveth and DFD Taketh Away

Downtown San Diego is not worth seeing any more. Every street reeks of homeless shit and piss. Little Italy is as close to downtown as I’d ever want to get. Have to agree with this. To add insult to injury the cost of a decent hotel room has tripled. Thanks for sharing, y'all. We have discussed vis...

I do love SoCal, the homeless problem is a bummer for all involved. Sounds like a fun trip! I like LA a lot but I don't think downtown is really where it's at. There are lots of cool pockets -West Side (Hermosa, Santa Monica, Manhattan, Playa, Malibu, Culver City) is quite nice. Korea Town is where ...

Bitchbaskets are kind of :neat: Always will have a soft spot, I had 2. The last one I 16v swapped with full race exhaust, gti short ratio (4k trans), euro intake cam, various suspension goodies.

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

:dat: not much to add here. Is this Jason Camisa? I’m convinced he’s paid by Tessie if so. Putting down the same 0-60 or Nurburgring time does not make two vehicles equal. Tessies are fast appliances, not much more. Great dailies for some, but no one is turning around to give it a last look as they...

Yea I don't think anyone is going to read/listen to any of it... They'll see EV and proceeded to shit all over it because reasons. :iono: Camisa specifically said that 0-60 is irrelevant as is the HP # as of late... given the super high EV performance figures for those. You of all people who have o...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xj0R4MyDhE Jason is saying the M3 is pointless now that the NEW model 3 Performance exists. I am :notsure: how I feel about that... in a way he is right... if you were to actually DRIVE 1k miles a month the Model 3 is far superior... but for tactile feel/manual/look...

Just odd to me... An auto C5 'vert is a shit tier car. I loved my C5 but 100% because of the 'performance for money'. If you have money, at least get like... a good Corvette? Also, auto C5s are quite slow, my 86 could possibly dust it to 60, your GTI 100% could. I mean good on him if he doesn't car...

but I care too much to take it through the scratch tube/auto wash, so one wash every 1-2 months is it. ah, the advantages of buying 12 year old bavarian motivation; its nice enough but pre- un-perfected so I can live that :aintcare: life. I do miss that element of Bimmer ownershit :lolol:

I wash my cars on weekend mornings @ 6 a.m because that's when the shade is. I would hardly call it fun at the level of of repetitiveness that is required. I would say I have it down to an exact science, like doing laundry. Even if I was retired, I would not wash my cars under the glare of the orb....
