Remi Gillard is amazing  

maybe with tinted windows they are good .. but meh ... dont like cold seats in the winter and dont like hot seats in the summer .... its bad enough as it is with black seats  

The cold seats I don't need to worry about, but I've got a tan interior, so it could be worse for sure

She wants to get rid of it and get a fun car. She's been thinking BMW, Z33, Chevy SS, Evo, stuff like that

but lemme guess, not enough funds? or what's holding her back?

i don't know why people hate cold leather seats in winter. i actually kinda don't mind it. and besides, some cars have heated leather seats, so it's nice. but i don't see much an issue with cold leather seats.

For some reason a Honda Odyssey owner decided to slam his mini van. Kinda funny to see tbh.

I kinda like slammed minivans, SUVs, and wagons.

 

 

Something about long, low vehicles just seems so right

i honestly wanna take a newer minivan, put some 19 inch rotiforms, and airbag it. there's this account on instagram with @ vankulture and it's actually full of pretty nice minivans.

 

Boom, it's done. It's his wife's van and she's surprisingly okay with it haha. Pretty sure Vankulture shared my post on their page as well.

She's looking, but she's not gonna settle for anything other than near perfect after the issues she's had with the Impala. Really hope she doesn't go Z33, would be torture to see one in the driveway everyday with how badly I want one

so i just saw this on instagram and i kinda chuckled.

Ew those rims are gaudy as hell. Yet again I dont like Honda in general and would only own one of their cars.

Actually really like it, usually I don't like wheels like that, but on a bagged white whale, I like it, a lot

Well they raise it when driving, I'd never drive a car that low static anywhere but a track. Just unsafe for street use

if your avg winter was around -10C to -20C ... you wouldnt like cold seats either ...

She's looking at them, but she has a soft spot for BMWs. She really wants me to get a straight piped E36 as a project let me remind you. But she's keeping an open mind when it comes to this next car.

That works too. Just sketchy

e90 m3 sedan? screaming v8, roomy, another sedan you can get in a manual, and they are comfy, being a bmw. the only downside would be the price for one i assume. still around 30 grand on the low end.

Yeah I highly doubt she's going to be dropping 30K on a car. Let alone a second hand one

 

I mean, the only way she'd daily it year round is if she went the AWD route (Evo or similar) so I know she won't be dropping 30K on a 3 season car

Oh I thought we were past caring about the van being sketchy, lol.

but you said your mom was potentially looking at the new chevy ss, but that costs north of 40 grand. so i'm sure an e90 m3 isn't foo far of a reach. if you're lucky, you might find one or two for under 30 grand. but for 30 grand you get something like this http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/5842733108.html like under 70k miles, manual, clean title, all stock, perfect base for a couple bolt ons.

Family owns a dealership and would be willing to give her a good deal on a used SS. She got her Impala (2009 model, in 2011) as it was for $6500. With 60K, granted it had issues, but still. She got one hell of a deal and would again on another Chevy at the family dealer

[chaozbandit]

Good news! AMG GT3s are finally entering the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship in 2017! They are being run by Riley Motorsports, which means Riley are no longer going to run their old #33 Viper GT3R (sadly).

 

@MEC-777

 

In case that #33 livery looks familiar - yes, it's the same guys that ran the #33 911 GT3R who ragequit because the GTD Porsches were incredibly hard to drive and had bad BOP. MacNeil and Jeanette have since reported positive feedback from testing the AMG GT3s at Hockenheim in the off-season.

hmm, maybe camaro ss? granted, it's not a sedan, but it's chevy, and it's probably a blast to drive.

She wants a 4 door quite badly, but doesn't have her heart set on one. We'll just have to see how things play out
