[tribal pulsar]

it'll be more useful that wau

[hardy osprey]

I have to drive 40min 1 way to college every day

[tribal pulsar]

1 way?

[hardy osprey]

I put a lot of miles and I wanted a toyota

I do like 75+km/day

[tribal pulsar]

I mean why didn't you just get a regular camry or somethin'?

[hardy osprey]

Because I wanted a 2 door

[tribal pulsar]

why?

[hardy osprey]

And the solara had more equipement

[tribal pulsar]

why 2-door though?

It's impractical

[hardy osprey]

I was looking for a convertible at first

Either the solara or the G6

The G6 has a hardtop convert

[tribal pulsar]

should've gone G6, it looks nicer

[hardy osprey]

But it was too expensive

Ik

[tribal pulsar]

ahh

[hardy osprey]

Also, mechanic, toyota is better

More parts from all the camrys

[tribal pulsar]

Yeah

well, i have to go finish replacing an engine

[hardy osprey]

Neat

(well, not neat if it costs you lots of money for broken shit XD)

But neat you can do it yourself

[tribal pulsar]

it's a lawnmower engine

19.0hp

600cc (i think)

single-piston

[hardy osprey]

Ooh XD

[graceful cape]

@merry shadow I don't know of any good alternatives, as most SUVs these days lack interior space because of way too thick side walls and weird rear light placements.

But if I would buy a new SUV right now I would probably look into Volvo or VW.

[merry shadow]

True, but its needed, cuz suvs can be rolled easily

[graceful cape]

I don't know. Looks to me they use those side walls for thicker sound dampening, speakers, wood, and other nonsense.

[merry shadow]

Yeah i guess the xe90 and tuareg are kinda good

[graceful cape]

Yup, esepcially the 90.

The thing is, if I buy an SUV then I want to be able to get something into the back and not be limited by the rear opening.

[merry shadow]

Sure, i dont need to hear the tire roar. All gor dampening

For*

More luxurious feel

Aaa more of a pickup type

[graceful cape]

Sure, but SUVs aren't luxury sedans.

[merry shadow]

I see

[graceful cape]

I don't drive a pickup, but I'd probably like to have one.

[merry shadow]

Mercs and bmws are, 150k $

[graceful cape]

Well, they're making luxury SUVs out of them.

And people buy SUVs so they can look good in their big cars.

Not because they're actually using them.

[merry shadow]

Dont even get me started with bugaty or lambo

[tribal pulsar]

*bugatti

[merry shadow]

Such overexpensive suvs... way over the top

[graceful cape]

I'm not a fan of those cars either.

[merry shadow]

Who would by those

Buy*

[graceful cape]

The rich people of course.

[tribal pulsar]

arabian princes

[graceful cape]

I mean if you have millions lying aroung - why not? :P

[merry shadow]

I guess :))

[graceful cape]

There is still more point behind that than buying an Audi Q7 so they can drive their grandma around.

[tribal pulsar]

What if i want a v12 turbo diesel in my q7

because torque

https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2009-audi-q7-v12-tdi-diesel-review

[graceful cape]

lol

What a joke.

[tribal pulsar]

but.... 738 lb.ft of torque

[graceful cape]

I've never seen anyone even close to a dust of dirt with their Q7.

[tribal pulsar]

i have

[graceful cape]

The Q7 is tiny anyway. It has less leg room for the rear passengers than a C-class mercedes.

[tribal pulsar]

yeah lol

But people are buying SUV's more than sedans/coupes

[graceful cape]

Yeah, cause they like to drive big cars and sit in high positions.

[tribal pulsar]

Ye

I still think sport-sedans are the best

[graceful cape]

My dad owned a V10 Touareg a long time ago, but he was at least using it properly.

[tribal pulsar]

lol

those things were powerful

[graceful cape]

Yup. Love those things.

[tribal pulsar]

I would like to have one, just to fight all the rednecks in my area who think they're the shit with their lifted duramaxs and hemi diesels

[graceful cape]

He used to work on a lot of building sites so he often had to carry large machines and materials.

Hah

That would be fun!

[tribal pulsar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k62gW3Se5e0

this is the best

[graceful cape]

That Chevy has awd, right?

[tribal pulsar]

4wd

[graceful cape]

Yeah or that.

[tribal pulsar]

there is a difference

[graceful cape]

I know, can't remember.

[tribal pulsar]

same

but i know it's 4wd not awd

lol

[graceful cape]

I think 4wd means you can disable it and awd you can't disable or something like that.

[tribal pulsar]

yeah, i think that's it

[graceful cape]

I would love to do the same, but with an Audi Quattro.

That would pull the whole truck apart.

[tribal pulsar]

Q7 with a v12

[graceful cape]

I love Audi, but they can keep their Q lineup.

[tribal pulsar]

i like audis and Vw's

[graceful cape]

I drive a 20 year old Audi :)

[tribal pulsar]

i would love an s4

[graceful cape]

Yeah, the S4 is nice, but I'm more of a fan of the old ones.

[tribal pulsar]

they do look nice

my dad had a 1999.5 a4

but like, problems with money and stuff

and a shitty service centre caused him to trade it in

[graceful cape]

That's the successor to the one I drive!

[tribal pulsar]

it was nice

[graceful cape]

They are insanely reliable cars!

[tribal pulsar]

and now he won't klet me get an audi

His wasn't

and premium gas is expensive

[graceful cape]

Oh yeah right - you guys have premium gas.

[tribal pulsar]

yeah

unless i get an audi TDI

[graceful cape]

In 20 years of ownership there was never a single problem with the Audi I have.

[tribal pulsar]

but like, i want decent acceleration XD

he took his car to a cheap mechanic and it kinda ruined a bunch of stuff

[graceful cape]

http://images.car.bauercdn.com/pagefiles/23531/audiquattro01.jpg

[tribal pulsar]

Oh yeah

[graceful cape]

My dream car..

[tribal pulsar]

Group B rally right?

[graceful cape]

Yeah.

[tribal pulsar]

Group B was so crazy

but it brought us the best cars

[graceful cape]

The original Audi Quattro.
The Urquattro as we call it in Germany.

[tribal pulsar]

it's a beautiful car

[graceful cape]

Not only beatiful, but also a real monster.

[tribal pulsar]

yeah lol

but expensive

[graceful cape]

0-100 4.5s

[tribal pulsar]

Kmh right?

[graceful cape]

Yeah

[tribal pulsar]

Owo

[graceful cape]

So that's 0-60mph

[tribal pulsar]

*62

[graceful cape]

Yeah, 62....

q.q

[tribal pulsar]

that 2 is VERY IMPORTANT

[graceful cape]

Okay okay!

[tribal pulsar]

that's two more miles you can go in an hour

[graceful cape]

That's for the normal Audi Sport Quattro

Not the Group B one

[tribal pulsar]

Owo

[graceful cape]

It's 33 years old!

Imagine having that car 33 years ago and going head on with Ferraris and Lamborghinis at the time.

[tribal pulsar]

the GMC typhoon could do that

and it was an suv

[graceful cape]

Yeah I've seen that thing.

Insane SUV for the time.

[tribal pulsar]

it's fast af

[graceful cape]

The Quattro Sport S1 (Group B Rally) did 0 - 100 in 2.9s.

[tribal pulsar]

Nani

that's R35 GTR territory

[graceful cape]

And 0 - 100 in 3.2 on I think you call it a "broken rock" road?

I don't know, tried to translate "Schotter".

Yeah, I want one so bad! >.<

[tribal pulsar]

start a gofundme

[graceful cape]

One of those costs more than 100k €

[tribal pulsar]

start an indiegogo

[graceful cape]

But I would love to see all the confused Porsche drivers on the Autobahn.

Maybe a kickstarter? :P

[tribal pulsar]

lol

in their base 911

[graceful cape]

Yeah x)

[tribal pulsar]

and then there's the one guy in the GT2RS

there's always ONE guy

[graceful cape]

Well, that's why the numbers I was talking about are only from the 560hp version. The Pike's Peek E2 has 720hp.

[tribal pulsar]

wo

[graceful cape]

Trying to find numbers for that one.

Oh wait. The E2 is the 560hp version and the S1 is the Pike's Peek 720hp monster.

[tribal pulsar]

Owo

720hp

[graceful cape]

0 - 100 in 2.5s.

[tribal pulsar]

and how much does it weigh

Wo

[graceful cape]

Holy fuck

[tribal pulsar]

tesla roadster base in 1.9

[graceful cape]

1085 - 1195 kg.

So about 1.1 to 1.2 tons

[tribal pulsar]

wo

[graceful cape]

Today you would say: Yeah that's pretty damn good for a car made in 2017/18.
But for a car made 33 years ago?!

[tribal pulsar]

"pretty damn good"?? More like GREAT

~500hp/ton

that doesn't seem right

nvm, it is

[graceful cape]

😀

[tribal pulsar]

😃

your emote looks like it's surpressing dark desires

[graceful cape]

Alrighty!

[tribal pulsar]

lol

it does doesn't it?

[graceful cape]

I don't think it does.
I'm suddenly not so sure anymore.

[tribal pulsar]

XD

[graceful cape]

See, there is a bit of a language barrier here. I think I kind of know what you mean, but you could mean something completly different.

[tribal pulsar]

Maybe

[graceful cape]

Don't make this even more confusing by writing "maybe". <.<

[tribal pulsar]

Lool

what do you think it means?

[graceful cape]

I went with the most literal meaning.

[tribal pulsar]

i meant it that way i think

[graceful cape]

Oh good.

I guess..

[tribal pulsar]

lol

i gtg

[graceful cape]

Seeya!

[buoyant latch]

Turns out my tools here are not that great. off to bunnings @dusty girder

[heady ridge]

lol why bunnings @buoyant latch should do super cheap for good tools

[buoyant latch]

cant take them on the plane home

[heady ridge]

lol just get the free battery service done

[buoyant latch]

whats a battery service?

[heady ridge]

super cheap test them and that

that looks like its over due for a clean or replacement

[buoyant latch]

Yeah im just going to have to clean it

I'd rather chuck it out tbh but cash is a bit tight

If I was home i'd just put in a spare one

[heady ridge]

just get some baking soda and water into a paste and clean

[dusty girder]

Lol

That's what I said haha

[fallow ridge]

to make sure your battery works drop a wrench between the two terminals

[heady ridge]

dont do what they just suggested

<@&375453001902718976> can we get a bad idea claen up?

[civic spoke]

You can sorta do that to see if it has any charge at all. But it's a silly idea. Best way is to just use a cheap multimeter. That you can literally get for free at some places.

Or for super cheap.

As someone who has withnessed someone short a battery between a wrench, it's not the best idea. Since the amperage is stupid high.

[civic spoke]

A dead short can be literal thousands of amps.

So umm, don't play around with it.

[dense valve]

the bus that i came with home was sliding all over the place 😄

[civic spoke]

It sure feels different to drive a car that doesn't have ABS or traction control.

[tribal pulsar]

Stingray, z06. grand sport

[fathom socket]

[brittle niche]

[fathom socket]

it cant turn

[tribal pulsar]

the z06?

[brittle niche]

For me it's just that they have always seemed to have a lower quality standard compared to many of the European cars.

[brittle niche]

z06 is nice

[tribal pulsar]

they have a working test prototype out in the wild

[fathom socket]

[brittle niche]

panameras are cooler with the new wing design

[tribal pulsar]

r35 is too expensive compared to the r32-r34

[fathom socket]

[tribal pulsar]

The tesla roadster 2 isn't a lotus

[brittle niche]

old roadster

[civic spoke]

And the Venom F5 is also silly. Because people are saying that it's the fastest car ever.

[brittle niche]

[civic spoke]

When there isn't even production cars yet.

[fathom socket]

it wont even be able to put its "power" down

[brittle niche]

[fathom socket]

Mclaren 720s

[tribal pulsar]

Hurracan performante > 488GTB

[fathom socket]

Aston Martin DB11

[tribal pulsar]

That m3 in the back @civic spoke

[fathom socket]

or should i take the plunge on an aventador

[tribal pulsar]

No

They're so big

needlessly big

[fathom socket]

im used to big cars

[civic spoke]

Both of those BMW's are track prepped. btw

[tribal pulsar]

Hurracan > aventador

[fathom socket]

ik

around the nurnburgring

but that v12 OMG

[tribal pulsar]

what about waiting for Porsche's next supper/hypercar

But.... v10

[civic spoke]

The E36 has the S54 engine (E46 M3)

[tribal pulsar]

Owo

[fathom socket]

btw all these cars will not be running stock exhausts

[brittle niche]

sls amg

[fathom socket]

nah

[tribal pulsar]

nah

[brittle niche]

ok

[tribal pulsar]

E63S if anything

[fathom socket]

nah if your buying a merc

[civic spoke]

I would want a go in the new M5.

[fathom socket]

get a c63 amg

[tribal pulsar]

e63 is faster and more practical

[fathom socket]

dont care

[tribal pulsar]

and don't go c63 coupe tho

it's ugly

[brittle niche]

i like doug de muro's wagon

[tribal pulsar]

Ye

[fathom socket]

so

[tribal pulsar]

E63s wagon

[fathom socket]

final verdict

what should i go for

[tribal pulsar]

Porsche's next super car

the 918 successor

[fathom socket]

thats years away

[tribal pulsar]

tru tru

[fathom socket]

im buying in the next 3 months

[civic spoke]

BMW Alpina would be amazing, especially as a wagon.

[tribal pulsar]

Hurracan performante

[brittle niche]

bmw needs an m series wagon

[fathom socket]

tbh ill either go hurucan or 720s

[tribal pulsar]

Oh hmm

that's hard

[fathom socket]

thats what i need help deciding between

[brittle niche]

id buy that

[tribal pulsar]

v10 > v8

[fathom socket]

yeah but turbos

[tribal pulsar]

but... those headlights

[brittle niche]

quad turbo w16 how about that

[fathom socket]

cant afford that

[tribal pulsar]

Not a chiron

[brittle niche]

too expensive

[fathom socket]

tbh i dont even have the space for a bugatti

also people spit on them

[tribal pulsar]

I would say hurracan, because i like the look of them. But the 720s is really nice

[civic spoke]

Get me this car, and I'm happy. https://www.alpina-automobiles.com/fileadmin/_processed_/csm_2017_03_BMW_ALPINA_B5_BITURBO_04_ab056758b3.jpg

[tribal pulsar]

Test drive both and see which one you like more

[civic spoke]

Alpina B5 wagon.

[brittle niche]

if i had the money fror a bugatti id buy a house and a rolls soyce

[fathom socket]

i like both equally

[tribal pulsar]

then get both

[fathom socket]

thats the problem

[tribal pulsar]

lol

hmmm

[fathom socket]

both look awesome

[tribal pulsar]

which do you think sounds better?

[fathom socket]

both sound amazing

dont know

[tribal pulsar]

The hurracan will depreciate less

[fathom socket]

ill be straight piping

[tribal pulsar]

Owo

I would say go Hurracan'

[fathom socket]

if im fucking the ozone

[civic spoke]

Ferrari will depreciate less?

[fathom socket]

im doing it in style

488GTB will depreciate alot

[tribal pulsar]

Yeah lol

[brittle niche]

for cheaper sports cars: Ford Focus RS

[fathom socket]

FXX K tho

that will not

that will just keep appreciating

[tribal pulsar]

of course not

[civic spoke]

I'm fairly sure that Lamborgini drops more in value over time.

[fathom socket]

over short term

but then retains

[tribal pulsar]

the hurracan has been keeping it's value

[fathom socket]

ferraris keep losing value

they stagnate at 100k here

so if i bought a 488GTB at retail

which here is 550k drive away

i would lose about 45k a year on the car

[tribal pulsar]

Yeah

hurracan performante is what 300k?

[fathom socket]

500k

[tribal pulsar]

2018 Lamborghini Huracan Performante/MSRP
From $274,390

[brittle niche]

get a performantre not the gtb

[fathom socket]

thats what happens when your from austrlaia

*australia

[tribal pulsar]

Rip

yeah, go hurracan

[fathom socket]

Taxes hit you like a truck

[tribal pulsar]

630hp v10

[brittle niche]

australia gets the short end of the stick on all cool cars

[fathom socket]

yep

[civic spoke]

The Performante is the one that is much more limited. Ferrari doesn't have anything that compares, really.

[fathom socket]

but we get the best roads

[tribal pulsar]

488gtb is only 30 more hp

[civic spoke]

It would be any future 488 Speciale.

[fathom socket]

yep its official ill go into the dealership tommorow

[tribal pulsar]

Hurracan?

[fathom socket]

yep

[brittle niche]

also have seen the regular huracan, looks really nice, especially in red

[fathom socket]

aventadors cost 1mil here

[brittle niche]

jeez

[tribal pulsar]

I saw a yellow hurracan

Oh rip

[brittle niche]

thats evil

[tribal pulsar]

It looked so nice tbh

[civic spoke]

You can get Huracan's for under $200k used.

[fathom socket]

and now to decide my options

[brittle niche]

ive seen a red and a blue huracan

[civic spoke]

Which I'm fairly certain isn't the case with the 488GTB

[fathom socket]

hmm color

the hardest part

[brittle niche]

blue, orange gallardo too

[tribal pulsar]

Matte grey

Grigio titans

[brittle niche]

people who live around me are insanely rich

[fathom socket]

i dont like matte paint tbh

[tribal pulsar]

Verde mantis

[fathom socket]

Grigio nimbus?

[brittle niche]

yes

[tribal pulsar]

Yes

White looks really good too

[brittle niche]

Vehicle Virgins lambo

[fathom socket]

thats a really nice silver

i hate green cars

sorry im gonna put that out there

[brittle niche]

ok

[tribal pulsar]

same

Grigio lynx?

[civic spoke]

I'd probably take a Mclaren 570GT over a Huracan.

[fathom socket]

too dark

[tribal pulsar]

the nimbus does look nice

[fathom socket]

nimbus it is

[tribal pulsar]

go with the nimbus

[fathom socket]

good god there is so many rims to choose from

[tribal pulsar]

Narvi forged shiny black

[fathom socket]

i like them all equally thats the problem

[tribal pulsar]

Lol

[fathom socket]

like i do track race

[fathom socket]

so maybe center locks would be a good idea

[tribal pulsar]

That's narvi

They're all centre lock i think

[fathom socket]

nope

only the loge is

[tribal pulsar]

then Loge Forged with the red bolt

[fathom socket]

thats what i was thinking

[tribal pulsar]

It goes nice with the paint

and the calipers

[brittle niche]

my laptop's background is a red huracan

[tribal pulsar]

Owo

Mine,... is not

[fathom socket]

what im looking at rn

[brittle niche]

i took this picture btw

[tribal pulsar]

Shiny black style package?

[fathom socket]

yep

no stickers

cause shits tacky

[tribal pulsar]

yeah lol

[civic spoke]

Am I being silly for wanting the 18 inch rims with the BMW M3. Instead of the 19/20 inch rims?

[fathom socket]

no

[tribal pulsar]

no

it's generally a better idea to have smoler wheels

[civic spoke]

Yeah.

Especially for track use.

[fathom socket]

okay there we go exterior specing is done

[civic spoke]

More sidewall.

[brittle niche]

opinions on bmw's m series x6 and x5

[tribal pulsar]

Why?

[meager grove]

That thing looks boring

[tribal pulsar]

But it looks nice

[civic spoke]

Don't like the X6. The X5 is sorta okay. Don't really like SUV's in general.

[brittle niche]

i think they are really bad, especially the x6

[tribal pulsar]

the x6 is just ugly

[brittle niche]

the x5 i dont mind

[meager grove]

X5 drives very well for an SUV

[brittle niche]

^^

[fathom socket]

i like the x5

[tribal pulsar]

go amg if you want suv

[brittle niche]

true

[fathom socket]

wouldnt own one my self

[tribal pulsar]

the x5 does look nice

[meager grove]

no lol

the x5 is better than a gle

[tribal pulsar]

Cause the GLE is like the x6

[brittle niche]

bentayga is better too, just way overpriced

[meager grove]

no the gle coupe is like an x6

[tribal pulsar]

Ahh

[meager grove]

the gle is like an x5

[brittle niche]

and the urus

[meager grove]

you're saying amg's aren't expensive?

[tribal pulsar]

No

[fathom socket]

so what do you guys think of that spec

[tribal pulsar]

Dope

[brittle niche]

there is an amg g wagon in white fro sale near me for $137,000

[meager grove]

cool but a bit boring on the color

g wagons are shite imo

[tribal pulsar]

Yeah

[brittle niche]

color isnt great on the performante

[meager grove]

only a status vehicle

[fathom socket]

i dont like bright colors floris

[tribal pulsar]

the 6x6 tho

[meager grove]

Go for a dark red

[brittle niche]

yes, 6x6

[fathom socket]

thats not available on the perfomante

[meager grove]

reeeee

[brittle niche]

a pickup truck i really like besides the ford raptor

[fathom socket]

besides i dont like red cars

[tribal pulsar]

6x6 is like a mil tho

the raptor isn't

[fathom socket]

and the color i would want they dont do for hurucan perfomantes

[tribal pulsar]

you could ask

[brittle niche]

wasnt it supposed to be 600k at frst for the 6x6

[tribal pulsar]

i don;t see why they wouldn't

Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6 For Sale In Florida: $975,000. If you've always wanted your very own insaneballs six-wheel-drive AMG-powered pickup, now's your chance. One of the vanishingly rare Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6s is for sale in Florida for just under a cool million. That's right—$975,000.Feb 5, 2015

[meager grove]

6x6 is a collectors item

[brittle niche]

do a yellow performante

[tribal pulsar]

No bright colours

[meager grove]

so lame that audi and porsche have paint to sample but lamborghini doesn't

[tribal pulsar]

Yeah

[brittle niche]

i know someone who owns a 4x4 squared

[tribal pulsar]

Owo

That's really dope for off-road

[brittle niche]

doug demuro's video on it os funny

[tribal pulsar]

and that's about it

Daddy doug

[civic spoke]

You can PTS with Lambo. You just have to throw enough money at them.

[brittle niche]

yes

[fathom socket]

Interior speccing

[tribal pulsar]

Hmm, all matte black?

[brittle niche]

wrap the lambo

[meager grove]

dude are you colorblind or something

all black and grey

[brittle niche]

do something cool like dde did

[fathom socket]

its only available in alcantara

[meager grove]

I mean it looks nice but so boring

[fathom socket]

like legit

trust me i want leather seats

but i want a perfomante

so

yeah

[meager grove]

don't buy a performante expecting comfort lmao

[fathom socket]

i know

im not dumb

[meager grove]

your ass is gonna fall off after a few minutes of driving

[civic spoke]

If I had to specc an M3. Then I would keep it fairly simple. 18 inch rims, cloth seats, Comp package.

[fathom socket]

its not a gt3 car

[civic spoke]

And that's pretty much it.

[fathom socket]

lets be fair

[meager grove]

it gets pretty close

It's like what the gt3 is to the 911

[brittle niche]

thoughts on salomondrin's ford raptor?

[civic spoke]

The GT3 Touring Pack looks so damn nice.

[fathom socket]

also i live in a country where the roads are good

and hot

so i always have sticky tyres

[tribal pulsar]

Who's salomondrin?

[brittle niche]

youtuber

[civic spoke]

Has a bunch of super cars.

[tribal pulsar]

Hate StreetSpeed717

[brittle niche]

ss717 is cool all around

[tribal pulsar]

[tribal pulsar]

[fathom socket]

*huracan

[meager grove]

Why not buy a real daily?

[brittle niche]

really want to see what he will do for the corrado build

[meager grove]

Like a bmw or a porsche panamera

[fathom socket]

because my job needs one thing

a laptop

thats it

[tribal pulsar]

he's such a stereotypical southern american. it triggers me

[fathom socket]

who?

[tribal pulsar]

Streetspeed717

[fathom socket]

ah

yep im just not a fan of the bright interiors

there i said it

[tribal pulsar]

Same

[meager grove]

I'm aiming for a Panamera Sport Turismo in the coming years

[fathom socket]

brightest color on my gaming setup is a mellow pink

[tribal pulsar]

Why not the hybrid panamera?

[fathom socket]

like comeon

[meager grove]

Once those things get a bit cheaper

[tribal pulsar]

Brightest on mine is my rgb mouse

[meager grove]

Idk if the sport turismo can be a hybrid

the one with 700 hp seems interesting

Also probably cheaper than a reg panamera turbo

[tribal pulsar]

[meager grove]

Yeah dude that would be my dream car

[civic spoke]

Yeah, it's the fastest Panamera.

[tribal pulsar]

"from $ 188,400.00*"

[meager grove]

One of the best allrounders probably

[tribal pulsar]

I think so yeah

[tribal pulsar]

Looks dope

I expect pics when it arrives

in like 3 months

[fathom socket]

months away

[civic spoke]

If I had all the money in the world, then I would probably use a GTC4Lusso as a daily.

[fathom socket]

nope wait time is more than 3 months

[tribal pulsar]

ooh

Oh lol

7 years

[meager grove]

gtc4lusso has a shit range though

[fathom socket]

its closer to 9 months

if i remember correctly

[tribal pulsar]

It does look good though

[civic spoke]

https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/iPnFV5nzadbg/v0/800x-1.jpg

[fathom socket]

it actually might be 18 months

[tribal pulsar]

ehhh

If it was a 4-door

[meager grove]

doens't look that good to me

[tribal pulsar]

^

[meager grove]

yeah exactly

4 door would be amazing

[tribal pulsar]

ye

[fathom socket]

it looks like it has a disease

[tribal pulsar]

lol yeah

That's not a gtc4lusso is it?

[fathom socket]

its got that quasimodo vibe

[meager grove]

it is

[tribal pulsar]

this is a 4-door gtc4lusso

[meager grove]

look at the rear lights

[tribal pulsar]

Yeah

A 4-door gtc4 looks SO MUCH BETTER

[fathom socket]

well im going to take a nap

[red cape]

Anybody in to kit cars like a Caterham?

[fathom socket]

its currently 6am and i havnt slept

[meager grove]

Looking at a Donkervoort atm

[fathom socket]

so you guys have a good one

[meager grove]

cya bud

[tribal pulsar]

bvyer

[red cape]

Later

[fathom socket]

i will send pics of it when i get my hands on it

trust me

[meager grove]

Donkervoort D8 gto is a kitcar on steroids, but the prices are insane

[fathom socket]

i will never shut up about it

[meager grove]

https://puu.sh/z3IiB/35724b811e.png

Don't think you can buy those as a kit though 😄

[red cape]

380 BHP? That's quite a bit for a car that weighs under 700kg

I wonder why I haven't heard of this before?

[meager grove]

Probably because the manufacturer is really small and bespoke

[red cape]

Oh, wait... isn't this in CSR Racing?

[meager grove]

idk lol

http://www.donkervoort.com/en/cars/donkervoort-d8-gto-rs/

Also an RS model in the above link

Used D8 GTO's go for EUR 140k+

[red cape]

Well, I suppose performance comes at a cost

[meager grove]

Yup

[civic spoke]

@meager grove That car is basically a Caterham.

[random widget]

So im looking to buy my first car soon and do you guys think a 1970 buick gsx is a good first car?

I'm getting it for 2 grand from my uncle

[civic spoke]

Can't honestly say that it's a great first car. Since it has almost 50 years on it.

You won't have any of the newer safety and security that comes with a newer car.

[fathom socket]

eh screw safety

[civic spoke]

But if the car is in decent condition, then it should be worth the money.

[fathom socket]

safety equipment isnt fun

[civic spoke]

Just know that there might be heaps of things that you might have to fix with the car.

[fathom socket]

thats the big one

make sure you either know what your doing if youll do the work yourself or take it to someone who knows the vehicle well

trust me would have helped alot when i shredded the apex seals on my rx7

[civic spoke]

Eyy. The classic apex seals on the rotary.

[fathom socket]

yep

tri rotor

tri turbo

one per rotor RWD

low boost

because apex seals

and the fact i was doing skids

also good news

new car is ordered

now ive just got to wait 2 years

[civic spoke]

What are you getting?

Oh, wait. The Huracan?

[fathom socket]

mhmm

[civic spoke]

Best of luck with that.

[fathom socket]

trust me my bank account is crying

the bad part about lambos

they send you progress pictures

like fuck please dont

i want it to be a surprise

i want the phone to ring and hear the words you car is here

[civic spoke]

@random widget If that Buick GSX is in any kind of decent condition. Then you can just put it back up on sale and make bank on it.

[random widget]

nah. I like that car alot. Ever since I was a kid.

[civic spoke]

Then as I said above. It won't be a great first car. Since it won't have any modern creature comforts. But it will be a car.

And it might have a lot of issues to it, because of its age.

Just worn items because of their age.

Dried up tires, bushings, etc.

[random widget]

But idc about "modern Creature comforts" I want a nice ride. The seats have been replaced sadly with modern racing seats and the stero was revamped as well

[civic spoke]

And insuranse might be kinda high, since it is kind of a classic muscle car.

[random widget]

yeah. But it's a good thing I have a decent paying job so i'd be fine with insurance

[civic spoke]

I can't say that it is a great first car. Because really, it's not. But if you're capable with a wrench, then it might be for you.

And the price is great. If it is in a somewhat decent condition.

[hearty sierra]

Anyone have the new Ford Mustang?

[polar crest]

Yes

[red cape]

🤔

[polar crest]

Sick isn't it?

[red cape]

No doors? How do you get in?

[tribal pulsar]

It's autonomous

[red cape]

oooooh so you sit on top

[tribal pulsar]

No, you sit in the trunk

[fallow ridge]

Lightest mustang in existence

[tribal pulsar]

rekt

That's actually pretty funny
