11.8 mpg bro. seriously. i love the truck, as i only drive short distances---12k miles in 16 months of ownership. and the ride is a little rough, but the truck is unique and fun

For me it all depends on how the car puts the power down. Anything over 400hp here in Wisconsin, and you can't enjoy it for at least half the year, if it's rwd. I can still break the vette's tires loose at 80mph in late April. Fuck that noise. But the gtr? I can beat it like a red headed step child nearly all year round. I hate the thought of breaking parts on a car. I've found that most cars can tolerate 20% more power on average and be COMPLETELY reliable. That's the number I care about most. Any more that that, and you're risking breakage with spirited driving

Badass Can you imagine if the glass wasn't there? I'm afraid of lions, tigers, elephants, etc. I would be terrified of a gorilla. All that power and intelligent.

Hannalah montanalah is ok. Derek is better.

Get in to see my buddy Derek snook. You likely need surgery. Tell him Kirk sent you.

this. i'm not sure where i fit into the whole class discussion. i'm not the guy on the far right of that graph, but i live very comfortably. i've never felt held back by the 1% or .1% or whatever the guy on the far right is. i HAVE felt held back by the pile of deadbeat leeches that comprise the far left portion of the graph---assuming that is where much of the 40+% taxes i pay goes. i believe in hard work and sacrifice--and have done an enormous amount of each to get where i am. i work very hard. but then again, so does a washing machine. let me replay the following scenario i find extremely irritating, but have come to accept: random guy:: hey man, is that your GTR? awesome, what do you do for a living? me:: i'm a surgeon random guy:: damn, i knew i should have been a surgeon. me:: ?? seriously?? i'm not going to even go into what it took to get through school, med school, match into surgery, residency, match into fellowship, fellowship, practice---and be successful at it. its the american dream. it takes some good fortune, some family support, but 90% hard ass work and sacrifice. the previous generation knew all about it. this generation does not

this interview reminded me of a scene from "good will hunting" this guy sounds like a complete moron.

i never divulge info, until i get the car. i'm a poor, single father of three :lolguy:, so no lambo.

I'm visiting family in ohio in two weeks. Seems like a good time to buy a car.

Awesome. Thanks dude

Just like the title says, looking to see if anyone has any connections at MAG dealership in Dublin? Thanks Kirk

Loved contact. I'll have to check it out

Surprised to see Wisconsin middle of the pack.

Uh.....pics? Congrats

This. Looking good man. Keep it up. At 38, I've struggled with ups and downs of weight for almost 20 years. About two years ago I was 5'9" and almost 250lbs, unhappily married, and miserable. I got into running, ate sensibly, got my personal life in order, and started taking care of myself. I'm at 200-205lbs now and run 35 miles a week. It took at least 8 months to get here, and I haven't gone above 220lbs. I'd love to be at 195 now that it's racing season. I've found that not eating after 7pm is one key for me, so that I wake up hungry. On Saturday, I eat whatever I want. You have to have one day to break the rules. Good luck

Talk about an understanding wife. Wtf. "Hey honey, I went to buy a gun from crack-head Dave, and accidentally shot myself in the arm by a creek. Can you please come and get me from the creek and take me to the hospital?" Darwin takes one day off and look what the fuck happens.

Nobody "needs" a 350+ hp car. There's a huge difference between a 20 year old 500hp death trap that goes like a missile in a straight line (but overheats, has no a/c, radio, no creature comforts), and a 400hp daily driver that you can drive across the country in, take to a nice restaurant, take colleagues to lunch in, and not draw constant attention to yourself. I have a 10 mile round trip commute---if I had a 30 mile commute, I would never question the need for a fast daily.

Good to see you on here. Good luck with the business

"My s4 is just way too fast for me" ---said no one ever I vote to keep it for six months minimum. Summer is coming. Enjoy the car, or be prepared to get your shit pushed in real good on resale

Well done? Then you might as well get a steak at Applebee's. Lol. What's your budget? That will help guide the advice. You can spend $50 or $500, easily in Columbus

Ford failed when they didn't offer an automatic option for the gt500. Show me one gt500 that performs like it's hp would indicate and I'll show you 99 that don't run anywhere near what they should. Not a huge fan of plates like that.

hopefully they know not to put the doors back on crooked or weld shit directly to the engine block :lolguy:

old cars are not fun to drive. or maybe i'm just getting old. i hate driving my '85 GT. i smell like shit driving it, it rides like a tractor, and just isn't nearly as fast as my other cars. its fun to putz around in, and go to car shows, but i wouldn't daily it in a million years. i hate the smell of other peoples' farts, so i almost never buy a used car, when i can easily afford the new one. this may be a dick attitude to have, but if i can't afford to buy a car brand new, i feel like a poser driving it. that's just me, and there are definite exceptions to the rule. i tried to daily my 662hp GT500, but the car was a lemon, and i had to give it back to ford. my GTR is roughly 650-700 crank hp, and i drive the fuck out of it--daily. i drove it today, and we have 2" of ice/snow mix. zero fucks given. if i get a hellcat, i can assure you i will daily it--at least when the roads are safe. and i will beat the piss out of it, and let my kids eat all over the back seat.
