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

Just letting you guys know since I had the CF 6 months ago. You only need 1 car that handles it. At least for the first year. You will likely never go solo with the kid anywhere it’s going to be a collective suffering affair. So as long as you have 1 car that works for the kid, the other can be a w...

I’ve never been. My the time you fly to Philly, rent a car, drive there… you could just go to Vegas direct. That seems much less depressing if you’re looking to gamble/party.

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

Only real issue would be that when the baby comes I guess my vehicle should have a back seat equipped for putting a car seat in, and the little jump seats in a ranger like that would not work. But really, having that wouldn’t be any different than if I don’t buy anything at all and something happen...

I fit absolutely fine in the back seat. It's definitely gotten $3-$4k more expensive than when it was released, but even his spec is significantly cheaper than a middle trim midsize truck. https://i.postimg.cc/L5z5N1t6/Screenshot-20240323-155512-Photos-1.jpg The lifetime average for this one was al...

Posting removed. You could look for a cute little Fairway Green S10 :gaydance: Damn. I was actually excited about going to see it. Haha someone on here selling an S10? S10s and Rangers seem to be pretty robust little things, wouldn’t be a bad cheap runabout. I’d probably look for a manual RWD for m...

It works pretty well for kids but yeah. I’d much rather stay in a hotel. If I’m traveling alone, I’d rather stay in a hotel, but if we’re doing a couples trip, like we’re doing this weekend with D Griff to Wilmington, I’d much rather have an Airbnb. Just a heck of a lot more fun than hanging out in...

Dare I say, worth the money. That is a current/future classic. I think the market is finally getting unfucked! (and I lost like $10K on an 86 :lolol: :disappoint: ). It's kind of weird... some vehicles came down... others are holding steady. I.E used porsches are still well above MSRP. Which is :fu...

They're not all that fast at HPDE days from what I've seen, but mostly due to driver I'm sure. They are certainly highly capable. And I'm not the greatest driver but, the general consensus was the E90 or the M2 Comp were better choices. Still, and F80 M3 manual sedan would be a dope ass DD. Yeah I ...

I didn't read a lot of positive reviews about the F80 platform when it came to driving one on the track. "The rear end feels disconnected from the rest of the car." was the most common issue. Anyone here who has had/has one, care to offer insight? Also the crank hub issue kinda concerned ...
