That's pretty funny.

 

Good bye Mini, hello LC.

 

Hell yes. Can’t be too many unsold LC’s left at this point.

Great score. I hope you like hanging out at the gas station.

 

wow. Just wow

 

Made some changes to my daily. The wife’s daily and a couple other fun toys too.

 

Seeing lots of RS6's here. My dealer just got their build guide for 2022 this week and I have the first allocation and placing my order in the next few days (though it sounds like production is still not happening until late fall).

A couple of changes, but only one that has me debating. The DRC suspension will be offered in the U.S. this year, but the build guide says delayed availability.

Curious if anyone here is in Europe and has driven both?

Thinking at this point, I'll probably stay with the air suspension anyway as the car will be the wife's daily and the road-trip car, and I have other cars for more dynamic driving, but curious if anyone has a DRC equipped car and thinks it works just fine as a daily (not too low or stiff)...probably the not too low is my greatest concern.

 

I was looking at some M/AMGs but ended up with this v90cc. And after living with it for a while have to say even if I have another m/amg/rs in the garage I'd still take it for 90% of my daily driving. Incredible combination of tech/comfort/fun/usability, great ergo/ux design & build quality/material is on par with porsche/mb. In the age of most vehicles are just a 3year(or shorter) lease & return. I'm glad I found a long term keeper.

 

 

2015 GT3

 

Needed a truck. Sold the Jeep.

 

I'm on my 2nd Tacoma and absolutely love them! They fit my needs perfectly and are the most dependable vehicles I've ever owned (GT3 ain't bad either)!

 

Had a Tacoma TRD Off road (not Pro), and didn't care for it. I know I'm in the minority as they sell well and resell well. The 3.5L is gutless. No torque. I don't know how anyone in CO or elevation tolerates it. The interior was full of hard plastic. The rear view mirror obstructs your view when trying to look forward in that direction. The headrest tilts too far forward (I like sitting upright), so I had to recline more than I wanted to not have it forcing my head forward. The roof rack leaked water into the cabin and had to be repaired. Clutch pedal didn't smoothly come off the floor in temps close to freezing (it would stick and then pop back out; had this same issue on the prior generation I leased too). Headlights sucked. Not the end of the world but no homelink. Did I mention the engine sucked.

 

I'll answer. I've had my '20 Civic Type R for a year now and 10k miles.

It feels like an event each time I drive it. It feels like driving a race car to work. The seats are great, albeit slightly less easy to get into compared to most cars. Not bad, though Very supportive.

The engine.... IMHO, not the best part of the car. It's great and all, but getting 300 hp out of 2.0L means not much torque until it gets some rpms. Has a buzzy quality. Almost reminds me of my E30 M3 in a way.

But... that suspension. Holy smokes. It turns like no other car I've driven (and I've had a few great cars... Cayman R, E36 M3, E30 M3, etc.) It shines in the turns.

Brakes are great, too. Very firm pedal. Floating rotors. Shifter has VERY short throw and it's very fun. Notchy, but in a good way.

The looks are growing on me. My wife was driving it behind me, and it looks menacing in my rear view mirror.

I say... "buy one". I could sell it for more than I paid for it a year ago.

 

Look what the hellcat dragged in ...

Picking her up when I get back home in a couple of weeks.
