LOL - You just paid cash for a suped-up Q50 - dont give me that 

Which was ~50K cheaper than a Model S 90D. :)

 

Could have almost bought 2 Q50's for that price.  LOL

 

In 4 or 5 years I'll probably get a Tesla.

Exactly, if I did that now - I wouldnt be able to do some other things and dont want to be "that person" - nice car, has to live in apartment & eat @ McDonalds.

We just ordered the 2017 Q60 and paid our slotting fee to reserve it so, I have leverage on my fiance to get something nice for myself.

Problem is, she is a doc & makes more than me :(



 

Tesla P90D would be nice, but it's not luxurious enough at the price I'd spec it out at. Same goes for the base Model S. I'd still love one, but I have no easy way to charge it, and there's no Supercharger station nearby. :(

Just got a $5400 bill from Infiniti - 

I put it in the shop to get the ECU flashed/updated & their diagnostics came up with $5400 worth of maintenance   LOL

There was so much BS in there I had to laugh ($150 for Mobil 1 oil change)   I pay $55 for Royal Purple @ wal-mart 

I picked the 4 things that were really important - and the bill went down to $700

I told them I was thinking about just buying a Q50 & they changed their tune.

But now my fiance wants to wait till the end of the year for the 2017 Q60 - so ... since I promised she will get a new car before me - looks like I will be babying the G37 for a while.

Here is the 2017 Q60 - I think it is absolutely beautiful and finally a worthy successor to the G35 & G37

3.0L twin turbo - 400hp is the top dog, the middle version which is 320hp is what she wants.  I dont have to say which version I want

i am not liking the naming scheme infiniti chose. :(   i liked it back when FX35 was a 3.5 liter engine.    

 

but, this car looks nice.   just the naming is lame.

I picked up my 2010 Audi S3 on Thursday and i'm loving it.

 

I put it in for a full fluid change and service as well as cambelt and waterpump straight away just to make sure everything is fresh.

 

Its completely standard now so only 265bhp.  It drives lovely though.

 

At the end of January I plan to upgrade a few bits such as the PCV system,  and diverter valve, add a Revo intake and get a stage 1 Map put on it, this will take it to about 310-320bhp for about £600-£700 total

 

In summer (May/June) I'm hoping to have saved enough for the TTE480 turbo and all of its supporting hardware which will take the car to 480bhp for about £5000.

 

I don't want to change it aesthetically I want it to look stock so its an understated sleeper, plus its immaculate inside and out as it is :-)

Will need to take pics, but took delivery of a '17 Civic Hatchback EX-L in White Orchard Pearl

I've never owned a CVT, but it's pretty damn smooth combined with the turbo (174 hp/162 lb-ft). Awesome MPG: 31 city, 40 highway), and very tech oriented car.

    • I totally disagree. Very little good comes out of governments all around the world manipulating everything they can and usually the people are not the benefactors. What you say about being restricted and expensive sounds almost like the arguments against firearms and why banning them will protect people as if making something illegal somehow will prevent the criminals from having and using them. AI being far less mainstream could simply mean the average person will not benefit, but "big brother" and the corporations will benefit, which is almost for sure NOT a good thing.

    • "connect with audiences" is the most obvious corporate speak you can think of. I only bought Need for Speed from EA because it was the only racing game with cops in existence and I dig that. Now that they killed off NFS franchise, I have nothing to spend money on. EA is officially dead for me, just like Ubisoft which I've been boycotting for some 20 years now...
