Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Does better in the city than on the highway?

Some cars are poorly geared. 

Like the golf i used to own. 3100rpm on the highway at 110km/h

Ok, my father wants to replace the Mondeo with an E65 730d...

 

The expenses of maintaining the E60 appear to not be enough to him (it still needs a new flywheel)... For fuck's sake...

 

We've been in one, and I got to say, the 500Nm of torque are pretty scary...

i mean the 7 series is pretty luxurious, so I don't see the problem here, other than maintenance costs.

Probably going to be going to the local Cars and Coffee next month. Never been to one before and I really want to. Hopefully I get that day off, because i'll have to be out of the house by 6:45AM to make it to Cars and Coffee and have a good spot

Well a women in a sub almost side swiped me on the highway. Hate drivers who can't stay in their own lane going around a turn. What made it worse was it was a right bend and I was in the right lane and the road was banked right and she still steered into my lane almost mashing her car against mine. So I did what any sane person would do. Lay on the horn then after passing give her the finger.

Never buy a brand new car. Get something a year or two old with around 10K miles on it. Also, USD?

R35 GTR, R8 (V8) stuff like that would be a good place to start your search

I'm partial to the ZL1 as well. Its got decent boot space on top of being a real quick car.

But look around a bit more. A 70K budget gives you quite a few options.

Where do you find fairly new GTRs and R8s for under 70K?
