big crush on Chad OMG posted:Someone on these forums got really angry and caremad that I asked why they ran all seasons on their performance car in a part of TX where it never snows (Dallas, Houston maybe). Always seems a weird decision to buy a really high performance car then put some mediocre tires on it. And here I am getting bigger wheels to fit PS4S on my mediocre Mazda3 heh. Nothing improves car performance like good tires!

Goober Peas posted:Someone has clearly never commuted in the SF bay area. Trust me, after 30 minutes of stop-and-go you notice every gear change. And your left leg looks like your dominant wanking arm over time. Commuted Daly City to Santa Clara for years in my mkv GTI stick and loved it, deeply regret not holding out to find a stick for the mazda3 I got two years ago as my daily. So ya, lived and breathed the worst possible commute and wouldn't trade it for anything.

Watching the video it occurred to me I’ve never really heard Murray talk much but man, I absolutely would like to buy what he’s selling. He says all the right things for my dinosaur rear end soul. Also makes me appreciate the F1 way more than I ever have. I was always very almost indifferent to it before, but hearing more about it from his mouth makes it way cooler in that he actually got it done.

Seems like different strokes for different folks, some people are car spergs and pray at the alter of Murray for continuing on as he does (me) And some people buy appliances to get from A to B.

I am honestly surprised the top speed is only 118, I assume it’s purely due to gearing, but you’d think with 8 gears one of them could be set aside to be super tall? I can’t say I can recall ever hearing the raptor’s top speed but I guess I just assumed it would be something around 150+ with the engine and power in it but Ram claiming theirs is a higher top speed so  also apparently I completely missed that Dodge spun the Ram brand out as it’s own thing which just seems...why? Not like they had an abundance of models that were in danger of being confused with?

Huh thanks for the info. I am surprised about the speed and I know aero and what not and was considering that, but thought the raw power would at least be able to counter that up a bit more. I had not considered that the knobbies and their affect which makes a lot more sense thinking about that aspect.

They "buy" these cars and have huge payments to make - gotta post more so they can make monies with the algorythm! - and then of course the reason why a few of them disappear is the IRS comes calling with auditors....... I honestly thought most of them were just rich kids and inherited a bunch of wealth, especially the ones that extensively modify their cars and have the like classic tuner cars and the like.

I guess I just never really thought there was enough money in youtube to even sustain the debt payments. I thought you only really started making anything at like 1mil views/video type level and multiple of those a week. Not trying to rehash the person of type argument, but like for example Doug, he gets a lot of views and twice a week and I got the sense that like he sort of barely paying for his cars with it. It's also not like he even has the craziest most expensive cars either, like he has two that he paid over $100k for. That's still way more than I could conceive being able to afford but like I see how many views he has and stuff and know that he is at or near the top of automotive youtube. I guess basically I just have zero idea how anyone actually gets paid in influencer/content creator world that we now live in.

I have an analog watch, I want a loving analog tach. I don't really give a crap about anything else but the Tesla chic trend is god loving awful and ages so so poorly. I prefer simple elegant nice material buttons and knobs for my luxury segment. Going back and looking at the earliest infotainment now just looks atrocious. My idea of a premium luxury car would be supreme comfort and materials along with bulletproof reliability with reasonable maintenance, basically late 80s/early 90s germans.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:yeah i mean you want a wagon but unless you're splashing twice as much money for an E-class or a V90 you really can't get the space in a true wagon form Mr. Wiggles posted:We picked up a Hyundai because it was the best car in its class. I mean you gotta go for what you want but really, Korea builds great cars. I agree, they make great cars, just not in any segments where I would want one. The fact genesis ditched the stick definitely hurts, if the stinger had one that would appeal to me. The closest is probably Velostar (Turbo/N) but there are others in that segment I'd prefer and a lot is do to not really liking the aesthetics of it which matters to me for a fun car. I recommend people to look at Korean cars a lot, their appliances are absolutely amazing value, they just don't hit my particular buttons is all.

Anything that calls itself a ‘coupe’ and has 4 doors is an abomination and none of them look any better than complete rear end. BMW was the worst at that initially but now it seems all the Germans do it. 4 door 4 series???? Isn’t that what the loving 3 series was for and why you split the 4 series out in the first place?i own every Bionicle posted:I like it as well, it reminds me of the old GLK which I thought was a great looking car. This is the same thing I thought when I saw that. I don’t hate it, but I also don’t really particularly like any SUV.

Peugeot 508 seems pretty freaking cool although I’d prefer a normal petrol and manual but that’s a pretty lost battle. Pretty sure that at least is way closer to the ballpark of affordable than the RS6 or AMG https://jalopnik.com/the-508-sport-engineered-is-the-most-powerful-road-car-1845171386

The engine followed by the stick were the best parts about the dang car, hell the engine was the whole thing that made it special. GT500 sucks in comparison, except for those that would like a base GT with an automatic like was stated earlier, that same person would also like the GT500 if they had more money.

I miss that car. My mom actaully had great cars, ancient civic hatch into early 90s camry wagon, two different 850 wagons and now a jetta sportwagen. No idea what I am going to do to get for her when she needs to replace this one in the next couple years, maybe I'll be able to find her a lightly used e450 wagon.

Where I live, even a fender with no sensors is over the $1500 damage threshold for my state to make it a 'major' accident in insurance's eyes. A new bumper and how loving expensive paint labor is means that everything short of a touch up scratch is going to be major.
