What are those running? I'm going to be on the market for a new car soon. Getting bored of my current car.
What vehicle do you drive?

We're looking at around $65-$70k for an M3/M4. Options can add up to $15k because of the DCT and Carbon brakes, among other things. Having a very similar discussion on a car forum I'm part of; New M, versus new Mustang. Same power, same weight, both with good suspensions, $30k price difference between them. All about priorities and if you JUST want the performance.

Bro wouldn't be cool with that. It's a '98 C2S. My dad actually had the exact same car, he sold it to my uncle five or six years ago for 60k or whatever. Bro managed to find another identical one a year or two ago,boughtit for about the same price. Pretty rare that a car will hold it's value or appreciate, but Porsche fans seem to fucking love them 993's. My dad still has his '96 Turbo, which is holding it's value similarly.
If you commute long distances, diesel is where it's at. Hands down. Europeans have known it for years. Laws here keep the American manufacturers happy (read: they don't make diesel cars) and keep diesel more expensive than gasoline when diesel is cheaper to refine. They're coming around though. Checkthisout, 71MPG.
Now, if only I can find a AWD SUV diesel that isn't ridiculously priced. The Jeep Grand Cherokee was supposed to come out with one, but damn that price.
The 2012+ Focus is a good car.

There is a 3rd gen Grand Cherokee that has a diesel, it was the only one they made of that generation that was worth the time of day- the current generations are awesome, but yes- the diesel is even more than the regulars...but they are nice AND capable SUVs

2014 Toyota Rav4. If you are thinking of buying this car, DO NOT get the navigation system. It is fucking pathetic. Just go aftermarket or just buy a tablet or something. Everything about the car is great except for the NAV. My previous NAV was in a 2004 Acura TSX. Somehow a 10 year old NAV system is more accurate and gives more timely directions and has better functionality then this new POS NAV. My wife has even nicknamed our NAV "that dumb bitch".

I'm just giving you shit.. dont take me too serious! Nice classic Porsche there. I got to drive a 2013 Carerra S. It was an experience to say the least. I never got why people would pay that much for something so small. It honestly takes driving one to understand. It was the first sports car that I have ever driven where pushing a "Sport" button of any sortactuallyfelt like it did anything.. and in this case, signifcantly so!! It was a great day out. Unfortunately, I have far better things to spend $100k+ on.

Back when I was given some cash for my first car by my grand parents I wanted to borrow more to buy this 1969 fastback mustang that was on the corner- it was 8500 on the sign, pops said it was too much and they are just work and money pits.
Few years later, some dudeboughta 1969 v6 coupe from an old lady for his grandson, while the fatherboughthim a new one- the kid chose the new one and he was selling the old one.. 9k, again pops gave me the same shit etc etc.
At least a few times a month I bitch at him an mention how much the 69 mustangs are, a crap body no insides fastback regularly fetches 10k+ and restored number matching etc are over 100k... either one of those cars I had a chance at would be worth well over doubble...
I would love to do something like this on a 2013 style
