Just shows that I don't have enough money to not give a fuck about $140K. But I do have enought money to not give a fuck about $40K. You should give a fuck about both OF COURSE. But no lease deal on a Model 3 is going to move me to action, even though it should by pure green visor car hater economi...

I'd consider a Prius Crime a long term hold. Also, shelling out $40K for an acceptable appliance that gets 50mpg is fine with me. Paying $140K for a Porsche when that money spins off 5.5% is less fine. :amazing: compare. Just shows that I don't have enough money to not give a fuck about $140K. But ...

Leasing poverty electric tupperware for $299/month so I can commute to my jerb. No thanks.

Fully loaded Prius Crime is the same price as the starting price for a Model 3, $39K $299 a month lease bruh. Buying is for suckers at the moment. With 7% interest rates and savings accounts paying $5.5% I'd consider a Prius Crime a long term hold. Also, shelling out $40K for an acceptable applianc...

Buying experience may be part of it too. Aren't scumbag :dillerman: marking up primes too? My brother in law is trading in his 3 for a Y and the process is so easy. No :bs: Yep, I'd rather have a Prius, but I think a Model 3 is quite a bit cheaper at this point. Also, I drove a 2014 Prius the other...

Right. Never going to buy a Tesla. Your red Model 3 above with the custom wheels is a major outlier. My weirdo neighbor and his wife across the street appear to be some sort of COVID refugees from El Lay....they have a white model 3. My ride from LAX to home in the back of a newish Model Y getting ...

Now a Lucid Air Sapphire..........that will work. My neighbor who was an early adopter doesn't have great things to say about em... car was out of commission for longer than the LemonX but he has more patience than someone with a 7 month CF. The Sapphire is the bick dick one with 1200hp that looks ...

Not a day goes by where I don't see a single asian female with a mask on 3" from the steering wheel in her white tesla model 3 or Y... on the freeway at 45mph Right. Never going to buy a Tesla. Your red Model 3 above with the custom wheels is a major outlier. My weirdo neighbor and his wife ac...

5N looks good to me. Model 3 is a heinous crime against everything good and holy. Agree to disagree. The Model 3 is a better looking car IMO. The Hyundai sometimes looks better in pics, but in person it is a pretty awkward semi SUV shaped behemoth. I find it to be a very unoffensive and neutral des...

But then you would have to drive a model 3, which is pure seppuku.

How is a Korean EV any better ?

Eh … the new model 3 “plaid” is around the corner. Likely 1000lbs lighter and a far cheaper and easier to own alternative

It could've looked so much better if not for the golf clubs requirement. The E-Ray 5 spoke wheels are so hot though. They ARE good looking ramz.....the E Ray is a cool piece of engineering and so much more practical than a Z06.....but the base price is close on paper (I assume there is a zillion do...

Golf clubs don't explain the trashy grids and the lights are also mediocre. They just needed to call some guys at Pininfarina and ask for help.

Yep. Which is kind of a turnoff if you're shelling out $85K.

Gotta double it for a P car with an engine that sounds like a blender and send your salesman to Tahiti for life… and the SA every year

I saw another C8 at the Costco gas station last night. Crappy wheels...the square exhaust, WHITE....:flaccid: Everything has to be just right with these or it's a no go. How tall were the white socks? The stereotype was quite bad. The guy had no VISIBLE white socks, but it's not summer yet.

OK i am not alone in this... I always found the claims of "shit just hoses off" exaggerated with both the car and the wheels. Coated or not. I do find that dirt doesn't stick AS much to a coated car but it may be a marginal improvement at best... and it is a bit easier to clean. With whee...

I have never been able to do this

Same. Even after I use the brake buster with a foam cannon and agitation, I still have plenty of dirt spots left on the wheel.

Yeah and there is a big rain/dirt mixture that isn't coming off without some contact work.

It's more to save time at the end of the day. If you can clean the with a simple hose off, that's a win.

I'm just glad I'm too old to consider eating that shit in the first place.

Never eaten pork rinds, but just scoped out a few nutrition labels across brands. Didn’t see that disclaimer, but my only thought is that maybe it’s because the fat content is almost as high as the protein, so you’re getting more fat calories than protein calories :iono: Animal protein should be an...
