OT: What kind of Car do you drive? Why is it better than the car posted above you?

[Husky25]

2017 Toyota Tacoma. The model has had incredible reliability over the years (we will see how 2017 holds up) and I believe holds its value better than any car on the market--I paid only 5k or so more for a 2017 as opposed to a 2011 on the lot. Its 4x4, manual transmission. Absolutely no bells and whistles but fun truck.

Don't you go dippin' in that collection basket to pay for that!!

 

[Yardigan]

2007 Jeep Commander...because, well...Jeep

 

[FDNY99]

2012 Chevy Silverado 2500HD LTZ 4x4 crew cab p/u (w/ cap)....cause bigger is better and also a better tailgate machine

 

[Yorkeez4]

BMW 4series convertible - love it
BMW 3 series - great car but not as fun as the 4.
Mazda CX-9 with 151,000 miles and very little spent on it. It's been great except when the power assist stopped assisting going down highway 1 in California. Wife was very scared in the Big Sur area. Couldn't get it fixed until I was back in NJ.
Chrysler PT Cruiser convertible which I will sell as soon as my son learns to drive a manual.

Audi Q7 cuz my Grand Cherokee died a few months ago after 13 years of ownership.

 

[8893]

'64 Chevy Corvair. Last of its kind--and they wrote a book about it!

 

[jojipoji]

Depends. If you are LEO and I was speeding no or if I was driving like an ass and cut you off and you are mad at me then no also.

Otherwise yessir!

Is the GT-R Lime Green and were you on 84 near Southington/Plainville/New Britain a few days ago?

 

[uconndoit]

2016 Vespa 125 LX

Less than 1,000 miles on it.

Better than those above me because I can weave through Bangkok traffic. My 20 minute commute would probably be 2 hours in a car.

That said, for weekend trips we're having a car imported from Japan - a 2012 Toyota Vanguard. Should arrive in about 2-3 months.

It sure is easy to tell the age of this group by the cars listed and the bias towards gas mileage. You boys need to get with the program and get some Detroit V-8 iron before they're all committed to museums and salvage yards. Who needs 62 mpg when we have all the oil we'll need for 200 years?

I'm pretty environmentally conscience which sometimes makes it difficult to rationalize my love of cars. I will always own a V8 for the sound alone. Even if I don't drive it a lot there's nothing like a V8 with a big lope

This isn't my car but it has the same mods and sounds almost identical

 

[Stinger92860]

My car gets 32 miles per gallon.

As do my Audi’s

 

[jleves]

I'll weigh in with probably the most random/ridiculous/no one else has one/fun car. I drive a 2015 orange BMW Z4 convertible. Stupid small inside - true 2 seater, can't fit people over 6' tall. Not the best handling two seater, but still super fun. Insane twin turbo 6 cylinder that has oodles of torque and acceleration from 60 to 90 is stunning. Fun hard top convertible that turns heads. Orange - not much more to be said there. Extended orange interior - when I picked the car up after ordering it special, the car was surrounded by BMW car sales people from a high volume dealer because they had never seen one after several years in production.

This is a google image, but the same as mine:

Not the same but sounds just like it.

2017 Ford Mustang. Awesome car, would recommend. Great ride with good pickup. It a ucks in the snow. I still love it though.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Ended up with a 2016 Mazda CX-5 Grand touring. It’s a Swiss Army knife car. Decent at everything, great at nothing. Couldn’t decide between CPO 4Runner or Lexus GX350, got a Mazda. It will likely go to my daughter next year when she gets her permit. Should last her through HS and college.

I’m waiting for the details on the new Ford Bronco. Should be what I need. If it’s not what I want, probably a used Lexus GX460. I do like 6-7k a year. Screw gas mileage. I want a car for the zombie apocalypse.

the bronco is probably going to suck which is unfortunate because it could be really cool

2017 Audi S3. Stage 1 Tuned to about 380hp and 350 ft-lbs. Puts me right about 310 whp and 300 wtq. 0-60 in about 4.0 seconds flat, close to 30 mpg highway. I’m 22 so not the smartest choice out of college lol. RS3 was the goal but I’m not thaaaat dumb

it's amazing how well VAG cars react to tunes

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Yeah it’s insane how much they hold back this 2.0T from factory. The unitronic tune really wakes it up and it feels as smooth as stock. Stage 2 would get me around 350 whp. I drove my buddies APR Stage 2 Mk7 R and it’s hilarious fun.

 

[Rocktheworld]

But does it get past the round of 32?

 

[I Bleed Blue]

I own three cars

2015 nissang GT-R
2016 BMW m3
2008 Honda Ridgeline

my m3 is stick, my gtr 700 horespower and I can hold more sheet rock than the accent above me.

insta @jojipoji if you would like to see them.

Yas Marina *thumbs up* . Sick GTR too man. That Ridgeline is definitely the real prize of the bunch though.​

 

[Chin Diesel]

2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited
2006 Dodge Magnum

Somewhat interested in Grand Cherokee so we have asexind vehicle capable of towing 5k weight.

Looks like I need the V8 or diesel for the 6200 towing class.

Don’t jinx it man. So far the hints are that they may have nailed it. We will find out soon.

I'm considering a GTI for this very reason. I'm just worried about reliability.

 

[Northbound]

Top and doors come off, it’s a one ton truck so it totes lots of stuff and it goes anywhere regardless if there’s a road or not.

Sweet ride. Great color. The twin turbo BMW flat six in a car that Light would seriously move.

If they really do go all-new and aren't just copying the Everest then it stands a chance. I'm hoping it competes with the Wrangler and has a removable top

As am I. I’m not going Stage 2, so hopefully I don’t run into any DSG or engine problems. You can make a mk7 GTI just as quick if not faster than my S3 from a roll without doing much. Pretty amazing

Wait these Z4’s came with an N54 option? I assumed it was only available with the N55! I suppose that make sense though considering the 335is came with the N54.

With the GTI I'm more concerned with electrical Gremlins. They're already chopping roofs to fix the sunroof and it's not even a fix lol. I also hate that I have to get an SE for the LSD. No reason they can't offer it as an option in the base

The SE is the performance pack right? Which gets you the LSD, an extra 10hp up to 220, better brakes, exterior trim, etc? Worth it imo
