That got dark real quick

every autonomous car in the us just sets their destination to the local burger king and pins the throttle at 100%

It's getting cooler here and I have to drive somewhat more carefully.  Cold roads and cold tires mix poorly with cold air into the engine.  Lots more torque and no grip.  But with that in mind: the cars are two completely different things.  I loved the ZR1: it made me giggle like a stupid little school boy every time I stomped on the loud pedal.  The Z06 is that to a much larger degree.

 

The interior, comfort, amenities, etc, etc are just immensely different and substantially better in the Z06.

 

The real test will be next spring when I get it out on the track for the first time.

Ah I see. The ZR1 is one of my favorite cars. Really like that color of your Z06

It's the GTS...

 

You can as much power as an M5 E60, for 10 times the price. Legit.

(4 cylinders less, 2 seats less, 2 turbos more, less weight, more rollcage, more downforce and more brakes  Oh and less noise)

Its a "Lightweight" M4 that still weighs 1.5 tonnes. And doesn't have anything special going for it 

And its in fucking Lamborghini Huracan territory.

Yeah but that price is just hilarious. 

If i had that much money to spend i would've walked into a bmw dealer for a laugh and then gone straight to dodge. Two hellcats? Yes please. And a fucking boat

Nope. Scratch that. One hellcat and this freaking Murray Peterson schooner

Even parts are starting to get really expensive compared to where they were a couple years back. Really need to get into doing a few investments soon if I want to keep this hobby forever

The schooner i edited into the post you quoted would be a sound investment

Only looking to invest at most 4 or 5K USD, which I mean is a decent start, but not the best

Debatable.

 

The people who I know who currently own a M4 GTS all did European delivery at the factory, which is technically still cheaper after flights and the fact that they spent 2 weeks touring across Europe (so hotels + food)

Yeah but the GTS doesn't make sense to me at all..

A schooner outfitted with sixteen guns however..

Boats are a money pit, so are sandrails, and snowmobiles.

 

Source: We have all of them on the property and they all constantly have issues.

 

Although the snowmobiles may be being sold soon to add onto the driveway, take out a few trees, and add a roofed enclosure off the side of the garage for another car (Saab :D) or two maybe

They're definitely fun to own and use, but your wallet will hate you

We have a fishing boat (Nothing crazy really just run of the mill) and a cousin of mine has a really nice pontoon, the pontoon I much prefer, only thing I'd take over one of those if it was my choice would be a 1JZ powered boat

Put a 2j in the pontoon boat

One boat i've wanted for a long time is a Pt-boat. Too bad they are almost impossible to find and probably waaay out of my pay grade..
