Yeah only relevant Maser was the Gran Turismo, and now it’s dead.
I’d say JLU, or Giulia just to try it.
I love the steering in the Stelvio, so would be interesting how you find the Giulia compared to the Kamry.

Dang much discussion up in here.
Don't feel too bad Tarspin. I brought up the fact that I'm considering a Z3 and got shit on for not wanting a Porsche. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Because I don't know anything.
Yup, I'll continue to keep my thoughts to myself.
Don't fight with Max doe, it's not worth it.
He's not a bad dude.

We are all screwed up in one or more ways, and I think that written vs spoken discussions can easily get muddled up. I take partial ownership for this one and I too think Max is a cool bro, I hold no beefs with anyone and am glad to be on the forum.Melon wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2019 8:20 pm Dang much discussion up in here.

Besides I think I learned a few things today and my otherwise boring ass day at work was entertaining as hell as I'd scurry off to the back warehouse to see what Max was going to respond with. He is a really smart guy, I just mistake his responses for the context in some cases.
I'm sure that we've all had some level of disagreement or another and I'm trying to be a better person for each one I'm involved in.

You got on for not wanting a 911.
Plebs, man. Get your aspirations straight.
You wanted the Porsche with panties. The one that comes with a training bra.
At least know why you're being heckled.

It was like a 2012? 2014? I dunno who cares. Most of the idiot lights on. Bad wheel bearing. Door rattling. Lots of brake dive and the fucking thing cannot deal with potholes at all. That’s the second accord that I’ve been in that was like that.
Add in the geriatric friendly dash with the giant buttons and

Ended up booking a JK Sahara $40 less per day than any JL and was available in manual two door. I can cancel so subject to change.

I think most of the stuff is just people offering their opinions and it comes out as due to being typed rather than spoken. It’s like when you’re texting a girl and are unclear if she’s interested or not because texting is stupid.
Most everyone here are good dudes just shooting the shit about cars, differing opinions are misconstrued as

Ahh cabs, yeah. A coupe is all I've ever priced and they're still out of reach.
