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.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design.

Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
