I'll see how much my dudebro charges me for them. I don't want to see a dash light for six out of 12 months of my life. There goes my $300 plan to get old beater ramz and throw my existing winter tires on them... :ohwell: It won't change my life.
It's worth it... as mentioned, this is like 30-50% of the year, I would not want to have :ramz: I don't like looking at or be stuck with a constant warning light on the dash.
I got a wicked deal today, this is going to be a very nice winter setup that I'll enjoy looking at. Both the car and the wheels have a metallic silver flake and the wheels will match lower trim LE size, so proportionally things will be right. I also noticed that the offset on the wheels is a 35, which will flush them up like 15mm. No ragrets. No TPMS sensors would have been :disgust:

Agreed. And as a real performance Toyota, the depreciation should be :notbad: either.
Any reason the GRolla would be a consideration over the GR86? It seems like if you're in a warm climate, don't have to haul kids around, have other utility vehicles, it would be a more fun choice. Remains to be seen :doe:

I am actually hoping the GRolla DOES have ricer wings and stuff :lolol:
:disgust:

I'm closer to 40 than 20, I just have no interest in stuff like that.

You know she won’t be caught dead in it. What are you smoking ?
Yea, this is another reason I hope it's subdued. She HATES STI wangs, and writes off all WRXs too because of it. I'll reserve the racist remarks she makes...

I really do like the Cucktrek, but there's something rather :flaccid: about walking up to it.

There's nothing exciting about it.

That being said... it's not a Prius.
Yea, it's better than a Prius or anything else in its class, but that's a pretty low bar.

I'm bored enough to watch some of it, and he talks about how this time he's "smart" to buy a used car instead of a new car so he doesn't lose $10k instantly.

BRO you bought a used car when used costs more than new. The ONE TIME EVER it makes more financial sense to buy new.

I went down the rabbit hole...

MSRP on the thing in 2018 was $52k. He paid $43k. $9k off for a 3 year old lux car. "But it's a fair deal because it only has 10k miles on it".

:bruh:

He'll be underwater in 6 mos. :popcorn: for the videos of him crying, I can see the title now: "Carvana is a rip off" or the like. :lolol:

$43k for a 10k mile S3 doesn't sound that bad to me. Did he say if he put anything down?

A bit of :plac: profit on the trade-in whip, next month's rent, and his kid's birthday cash that he found under their beds in a jar.
