Also, why exactly do you NEED an SUV payment? You don't, until your kid gets older. Leave a seat in the Taco, leave a seat in the Electric Bimmer, and enjoy your life, to the extent currently possible. There would be no payment, on anything but another IX. Can a man enjoy life here? lol A question ...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
I guess they aren’t selling at all… I don’t even know where a Nissan :dillerman: near me is, so haven’t seen one there either. I’m also quite perplexed on the Nismo being auto only, don’t think anyone wants an auto Z. Plus somewhere along the line they adopted the Elantra N Line red lower stripe wh...

So I am still open to suggestions in case I missed something. I did give this quite a bit of thought and I am just not currently loving anything.... A slightly used Tahoe/Caddy/Jewcon would be nice... but they are stupid money and seem cheaper NEW... Which is also insane. I also hear that Escalades...

I don't really understand what a dead brand is. I don't think it's going anywhere any time soon. But for the price other options have way more street cred. Buick GMC Mitsubishi Acura Infiniti Chrysler They all make some sort of knock of versions of a main stream car or are just dying (Mitsubishi, C...

I could use some gear this week. I'm been hitting it for almost two weeks straight and my shoulders are in full rebellion. Geriatric lyfe.

I actually saw an Integra Type S on the road yesterday. I was :mindblown: . 1 - ITS 0 - FL5 Hype R 3 - Nissan Z (Although 2 of those sightings might have been the same person) 3 - GR Rolla I’m more amazed by the new Z. I still haven’t seen a single one. You know I don't think I have either.

I saw my first Z last week and it was really hot actually, as was the 40 something year old lady driving it. :like: I saw a writeup in CD on the Nismo Z.......which sounded like a dud. Mega jacked up price and no manual? The whole purpose of buying the Z is a 400hp car with a manual transmission. T...

Gberg's Alpo Gorf with a bit of Plac Profit
I wonder if there's any difference between regular all seasons and "crossover/suv" all seasons? The yokos don't have tons of reviews so I really don't know what the popular tire is for a crossover. Scheduled to pick the car up on the 9th. His last update was that it's still on the boat an...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
I don't think it's pointless. I think a lot of manufacturers tune for 0-60 and the quarter. The acceleration part tells you how much your car has left on the table after that. And the braking test is totally legit. If your car can hero stop from 150............it's got bad ass brakes. I totally agr...

Further evidence of the end of the madness Yup. Last summer it was $37k. Oops. I wasn't mentally ready to sell it at that point, though. Had I done that, I'd have driven my wife to divorce by now bugging her that I needed a "fun" car. Resulting in a loss significantly in excess of the $10...

I thought you were selling it? I have never been carsick in any car.........but the driver's seat is a new one on me. I've only posted it in a couple places and I've received no interest. The online offers are trash...having a hard time swallowing the idea of selling the thing for $27k. Further evi...

That is pretty good looking. Agreed on the R1S :doe: , is that a consideration here or are you not into the 'start up' situation? I see them all the time now, they're really making waves. Also the Cyber :truk: is 'coming' :lolol: I love the r1s. Especially after having sat in the one my co worker g...

Rage4 needs tires according to the :dillerman: . He says they're at 4/32 but I'll check it myself when I get it home. Only have 38k on it so it seems odd to need tires now. Anyone know of a decent crossover tire? The Michelin Primacy A/S that came with it kinda sucked. https://www.mickeythompsontir...

First time training in a very long time that I had no patellar tendon pain :fuckyeah: my right elbow tendon felt much better too. Been dealing with some depression , and not being able to train properly was compounding that. Very happy with how tonight felt. Need to keep up with the rehab work to m...

Well that was dumb. Helped the wife and kids get out the door and then hopped in the 86 to head down to Nashville (IN). About 60 second after getting onto 465 (the ring road around Indianapolis), I was car sick. I don't know if it was because I had a bit of a stomach bug earlier in the week, but by...

Yeah this is a very interesting (and also very pointless) test. Even if you drag race or track day bro these numbers are largely useless. It's kind of wild when a Hype R and ElaNtra can beat a Golf R around a track. The Hype Rs piss poor braking performance is kind of embarrassing. It's nice to see...

I was just going by your list bro. V8 Defender is on the list. I6 Defender is not. E450 assumes keeping the Tacoma. Concede that my current fleet battle cruiser takes me out of the running for Captain BrownEuroWagonUberAlles. Correct that’s because a V8 merc wagon is like 150-180k which is complete...

The Elantra N is balling on a budget no doubt. You don't care that you are driving a Korean car. You don't care about the questionable exterior design/dumb stripe on the bottom. You are having the most fun and utility possible in the low to mid 30's with a warranty that will last until you have dep...

The starting MSRP on an E450 is $71K. How is that V8 Defender territory? It's your best option in terms of everything. If you think you need more space then you are admitting that CF are going to turn you into a different person.......If you can't put one kid, one dog and two adults into a station ...
