C6 Z51 is a C5 Z06 but better in every way.

Pop-up headlights

If I can un-shitbox the C5 interior enough… I could go for something like that. Everything just felt so… intuitive. Right. Easy. Like… “well yes, this is how a proper grand touring sports car should be!”

Well lads… I did it. My blissful ignorance is over. I drove my father-in-law’s ‘02 Z06 :brubtub: There really is a magic to those things isn’t there? I was telling myself I wasn’t gonna go this route but FUUUUUUCK that’s so good. All it took was a downshift into second, a pull to redline, and now I’...

Exactly. It’s like every time I see a headline that goes “Facebook fined $75 million for privacy violations in XX country” I just laugh because they’re raking in so much more than that from breaking the damn rules. Fines as a penalty for bad behavior is a joke for most of these big companies. It's ...

Which is why Ford EcoBoost stuff TENDS to be different test to IRL. But I'm talking about things like changing tires for tests, changing vehicle trim mix arbitrarily so the EPA number can be applied to more vehicles, shady stuff. Yeah, and then everyone is all shocked Pikachu when the EPA catches o...

Don't get me :wrong: , stuff like the Type R and GR86 are awesome, but I find it funny they are such a huge focus in auto journalism. I get in journalism, they are what sell (YouTube viewershit, mag purchasing, clicks, etc) but in reality they represent an absolutely tiny percentage of auto sales. ...

The hybrid Maverick does 40 city.

I think I’m set on a Mazda 3 hatch myself. Premium trim, N/A motor, :manuel:, soul red over black or polymetal grey over red. Dangerously slow. :doomed: :cheese: is plenty slow already :ohwell: I went and test drove one, and that is one hell of a nice car for $30k. Helps that I have a :dillerman: w...

Not only do you not get anything cool, you only get black, white or grey. What in the hell? For a $30K Civic, I'm just going all in on a CTR. I honestly don't see any reason to buy a Civic over a GTI or GLI. My warranty is gonna go in the trash within months if I buy a VW LGBTI… APR is too tempting...

To me the seats and wheels alone are easily worth the $2500

Woah woah pause dude. Chill out. We were talking about cars. I quoted you in the discussion instead of someone else. I’m calling myself “full retard” jokingly because I totally offrailed the conversation with my mistake. Therefore, I’m asking you to ignore me and my mistake and carry on. You didn’t...

Anyways, that WRX DS is atrocious. That feels like it belongs in a Mitsubishi Mirage povertymobile.

Ignore me I’m just a :fullretard: :fullretard: :fullretard: who cant hit the right button. First off what ignore? Is it because i took an eternity to reply? Or perhaps I didn't keep up with the subject of the reply? Im not on the dfd all the time as I used to be and since when did i call you a reta...

I'm 99% sure I meant to quote the message you were quoting :fullretard: I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow :eeyore:. To be honest, I don't know where the cayman subject came from as I never really mentioned toying with a used cayman idea. Ignore me I’m just a :fullretard: :fullretard: :fullretard: ...

Caymans are far too these days.

By egg I was referring to Golfs, GTI's Egg being directed on any car thats a golf is kind of a joke that started when we were together before this forum existed.

Ah.

I do need to drive one... a buddy of mine has a 2020 BRZ so I might ask to drive his to get an idea. I'm annoyed about availability in all of these. Who knows if I could get my hands on one of those or a new GLI in a good spec in any reasonable time frame. I want to minimize time dealing with :dill...

I can't even find a poverty truck worth buying under $10k. The market is jacked beyond belief right now. Best to just strap into whatever you have and wait. Only exception is if you can sell your used car and get into something new you wanted anyway without paying over MSRP. Which is precisely what...

I at least righted the ship somewhat in my mid to late 20s, but I would encourage younger dudes to not squander their 20s in a GTI getting water dumped on their heads from a busted sunroof. Tell me about it :lol: I was happy :doe: , but still 7 years on an egg is enough. I was a little too responsi...

I very much doubt that I could leave the engine alone. My dad's turbo FRS was :stig: :burnout: :impressive: ... until it got totalled by a freak hail storm. I forgot about that... :sad: ! I do think an FI version would be fun but I think the 228 pure Japanese ponies would do the trick for me :lolol...

I don't think suspension/tires/wheels/exhaust/etc. would really hurt your warranty.
