Hot Karl Marx posted:im trying to get a new beater pickup for driving back and forth to work, and everyone wants like $15k for 10 year old pickups with over 100k km's, its insane This is why I drive a 20 year old corolla that I'm going to just run into the loving ground. I got the world's dinkiest KTM sports bike a few years ago and last time I checked online last year the same model with similar mileage was going for maybe $500 less than what I paid for it from the dealership. As it turns out just loving shotgunning money into the economy indiscriminately at every opportunity makes people really loving stupid with their discretionary spending.

Just watching the Haas episode of DTS Will Buxton: "Haas' two rookies are incredibly important for the sport. One of them, his father makes fertilizer. The other, his father is a vegetable."

GramCracker posted:I'm disappointed you swapped the RS6 for this. I dumped the RS6 on the quiet over a year ago now, the balloon payment came up and it was absurdly cheap relative to the resale value of the car so I paid it off and sold it back to the dealer and used some of the spare change to get a 3.0 TFSI A6 Avant, had it remapped to just over 400bhp and dailied it until I decided what I wanted next. The RS6 was bananas and I'm glad I had it for 3 years but I was starting to feel guilty putting the amount of mileage on it as I travel a lot for work.

I'd like to submit my 2008 ford fusion (UK fusion, I believe it's a totally different car in the US) Despite only having done 30k miles I've spent more money on repairs than any of the other previous poo poo boxes I've owned. The engine is an absolutely gutless 1.4 and it handles like a box. I can't wait until it explodes. It's so boring I don't even have any photos, just this screenshot of a video where I was actually trying to record some very heavy rain in slow motion.  even though it was Italian I miss my old Punto, Percy:

I've literally just replaced my 05 golf with a brand new nissan leaf (EV heresy yes) and I can't get over how nice new cars are. I feel like an imposter driving it but I couldn't refuse a ridiculously good lease through salary sacrifice. The golf was on its last legs though so it was about time.

Feels Villeneuve posted:Generally, you can identify Br*tish posters by their extreme bias toward noted awful driver Lewis "Poois Shamilton" Hamilton, and anti-Italian racism. Amerikkkans can be identified as posters who talk about some streaming show about FOrmula 1. I have never seen this show but it seems like Lewis Hamilton propaganda as they tend to also be extremely biased toward Lewis "Poois Shamilton" Hamilton, and also biased against Italians. Most disgustingly they like to say very hurtful things about child-abuse victim Max Verstappen. On a serious note I've never really understood the British (specifically) animosity towards Ferrari. It's very, very weird. Are they still mad about 1981-1982 or something.

Feels Villeneuve posted:I like the Ducati Boys but for some reason I nearly always have to root for French pilots and riders in racing. Christian Sarron was cool and fairly successful considering he was an old style motorcycle racer against a bunch of guys with dirt track backgrounds far more suited to the 2-stroke 500CC bike riding style.

Theophany posted:Which BMW did you get in the end? 440xi Gran Coupe M Performance. I wanted a 4 door AWD sedan with a liftgate in the style of the S5 and the S7. I looked at the S5 originally but it didn't feel different enough from the S4 plus the twin turbo V8 in the S7 was very enticing. So then I started shopping around for S7's and it turns out that they depreciate so fast that you could pick up 2 year lease returns for pennies on the dollar. A 2 year old car is still brand new no matter how much you beat on it (especially around here). So I was shopping around S7's trying to find one with the packages I want when a friend of mine turned me onto this BMW. It was a 4 door AWD sedan with a liftgate like I wanted, it didn't have as much power as the S7, but BMW specific ODB tools are much easier to acquire than anything made by VAG and the power that can be achieved with an intercooler and tune would put there close enough that it wouldn't make a difference. But the biggest selling point was that it was an M Performance edition. BMW only makes about 500 2, 3, 4 series a year as M Performance cars and to find one that was also an x drive gran coupe was probably even rarer.
