OT: Cars

[Deckie007]

Italians do 2 things right:

Food and Cars.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Very nice.

Italians for style.
Germans for muscle.
Japanese to fetch groceries.

 

[Deckie007]

Nah...I'd give the wife a Journey or something for the groceries. Why spend so much on a soccermomobile?

 

[MindzEye]

If I was to go 4 door Exotic Car... I'd go with one of these (little out of my price range):

Quattroporte's are damn nice...I'll be test driving a few used Maserati's in the spring, a new one is still out of my range for a few years.

quattroporte is my "if I had infinity money, what would be the car in my multi-acre garage I drove to work" car. Simply fantastic in all the ways I want a car to excel.

so you're saying habsy doesnt make his living off the sweat of our brows and the clicks of our mouse fingers??

What clicks? I ponied up the last four months. Having no hockey hurts. People are slackers.

 

[Habsy]

If you paid attention you'd know Habsy runs this site at a loss.

Why start now?

 

[Habsy]

I don't know much about electric cars, but I heard that the battery requires replacement after 7 or so years which costs a small fortune.... something you might want to consider researching before buying

Tesla's offers battery replacement for life in case of failure and I only keep my classics longer than 7 years.

I'm sure this has been said before, but have you set up a paypal account for donations? I'll never remember to click the ads, but I love this site and would be happy to kick in a few bucks on a subscription basis even to a dirty Habs Fan

 

[Habsy]

Alittle boxy for me.

If I went German it would be BMW or Audi.

Used to have a 330i that I loved. Trying to get something nice and still be relatively practical.

I love Audi's too but if you're leasing I'd go with the RDX. No sense in spending the extra $2400-$3600 depending on lease length.

Italians do 2 things right:

Food and Cars.

and music.

and empires.

and fashion.

and movies.

and art.

and sports.

 

[zeke]

and crime.

 

[Habsy]

It's the only thing keeping me out of a C63 AMG really...I ****ing want one, but I'm terrified that it will be ridiculous to handle in the winter.

My buddy has a C63 AMG and an Audi R8 Spyder. He loves them both but lives in a tropical climate. If you aren't moving to Vegas as previously mentioned, get something AWD.

As a halfling Italian I do not share your Azzurri pride.

 

[Habsy]

and crime.

And modesty.

Dirty Habs fan? You guys were with GLG and I'm way cooler than that dude.

 

[Habsy]

Very nice.

And this car makes toast out of them all...

 

[Deckie007]

GLG? And don't take offense to the "Dirty Habs fan" comment. It's not just you. They're all dirty.

Thus the S5

I'm looking at going on international contract in ~18 months, so Vegas (or other warm weather climates) would be back into the discussion.

Wouldn't be bad at all...

 

[Habsy]

Yeah, in another scenario.

But right now my car is full of emaciated cheerios, muddy bootprints, and fookin' toys.

*sigh*

Choices.

Dude I've been living that life for over two decades. Loved it so much got another one 5 years ago. A trade off I'll do any day. A car won't remember you when you're gone.
