The 296 crashed hard. They made too many, the prices were too high out of the gate, and there is a lot of questioning the hybrid tech. You can get a new, delivery mile for 20-25% off from a franchise dealer. Shame because it’s a fantastic car. Losing a quarter million on a car is disgusting.

Shit, that must be nice. I'm done being a serial shopper/owner. With the way things are going, I think I will need a lot more in savings and investments the next 16 years.

Thanks. It did take a while to find a fun color on a car that wasn't beat to hell with 7 owners. This one is sometimes red and sometimes orange, depending on the light. Sort of a relief to be done too. Like looking for a house, its a stressful process and when its over I don't want to think...

Not gonna lie, looking like a Gen one Mustang would be badass. The lack of sound would be eerie though.

In the last 55 years the number of houses on the market is increased 2x. In the same time period the volume of money in America has increased 30x. Houses are 15 times more costly than 55 years ago.

It is. Sold the 720s and wanted a better experience. The 675 is slower, but much more special. It won’t make it here for 3 weeks or so as Cannonball Garage gives it a refresh. I think I’m done for a while. 3 cars, all very different and rare.

They have definitely taken a massive dive in the last 2 decades. There are still holdouts, but slim pickings. Subaru brought nothing to the table. Their most recent WRX had the same 270 HP that the 2009 model had. And, they continued to get uglier and uglier with the plastic cladding and shit...

So is the shit my dog just took.

675LT

All of them are, because money

They did that in the UK nearly a decade ago. Dead brand if you ask me, same as Mitsubishi.

As far as I can tell, it’s the car moving, not playing music.

People still care about consoles?

I didn’t click it because there were spelling errors in the title 🤷‍♂️

big fucking yawn.

You’re right, I deserve that. Forgot what thread I was in. In my defense, I think that’s the first time in 27 years.

I dunno man. My other cars that cost more don't rattle or make annoying noises. I expected a quiet car to be quiet. I get what you're saying though, its all mass-produced, modular, and to the lowest cost these days.

Make the appointment now. Lock it in.

Well, looks like I'll need to do proper research if we end up needing more insulation. I've been thinking this whole time its something loose and rattling around in the front left speaker or the heads-up display mechanism.

I think we have a decent shop like that nearby. I’m definitely not opposed to it because if it’s not fixed, I’ll replace the car. It’s not acceptable to me.

I've always liked wagons. Don't know why. I'm 95% satisfied with it. There are rattles and buzzes in the dash at 6,000 miles that need to be addressed (which the dealer couldn't fix the first time) but otherwise its great. I use it to drive to Dallas and Austin all the time for work (from...

Yup. 2025 in Ascari blue.

Carb but adding boost? Not sure I've heard that combo for a few decades. You doing a blower on top?

I was reading the Politics thread just now. I thought of something important and profound to write. I said to myself “let me just finish this page and then I’ll post”. Well, fuck me, I forgot what I wanted to say. God damn it.

Welcome

In the last few years, I've been buying older and older cars. So have all my friends. New shit sucks. Its too heavy, too complicated, too invasive, and too costly for what you get. I'd rather spend the same amount of money on something 10-50 years old that has style, substance, emotion, and a...

Hahahahahaha.

Man, it happens. I go through the same thing occasionally. Houses need repairs and that’s typical too. Think of this as a chance to redo the bathroom and make it more interesting or modern or just refreshed. This isn’t a crisis, it’s a chance for change and improvement.

Too much red meat and soda?

One month ago, $65 to fill the gas tank. Today, $91.

Proof?

OK, well....you can disown him, I guess?

Sorry man, you’re brother might be retarded.

I couldn’t figure that out as a kid
