Hyde Park can be had for under $100 for two depending on your entree if you're not buying alcohol

I know but Hyundai's have some of the best warranties along with Kia 5 year/basic, 10 year/powertrain so a used 2015 would be fine

Lol. Still trying to impress her. It never stops

:lolguy:

The interior looks considerably better than the exterior lol

Sweet man! I will let you know

There are other outside factors that don't really have anything to do with the car itself. It's honestly a great car and well put together and the clutch is strong, but it's overkill IMO which creates issues driving in traffic (dublin area). If I were to keep the car, I would go this route and swap the clutch. It's essentially a brand new clutch that goes for like $1200 new, so I could probably get solid $ out of it after it was pulled. Honestly, I had talked myself into getting back into something fast and "fun" so much that I kind of overhyped it. I was really into it more when I was younger and could be a little more carefree and do the whole street racing thing. I have to be more conservative now with my job and driving a company vehicle, if I were to ever get caught doing anything like that, my job is gone. Track? Yeah, I thought about that. Never been a huge fan to be honest and every time I go something breaks and it's usually not cheap. I honestly just want some reliability in my life and lower the stress. Essentially I want to simplify my life and save money to do some traveling and what not. I will get another nice performance car (Shelby Cobra kit car :grin2:) someday but right now I'd just like more stability. Considered the GTI. I could always go give one a test drive, but my experience with VWs, especially the smaller ones is that I don't fit well in them and they become extremely uncomfortable after about 30-45 minutes. Who knows, maybe the newer ones are better designed for bigger guys.

Yeah I was a bit confused looking it up. Looks like it'll be the 2018 model? I mean $25k might be in my range with a lease. I do really like the interior pics I saw of the new Civic. The extended warranty on a used car is also a possibility but are extended warranties legit or would I be getting the run around if any mechanical issues occurred? I've heard some bad things about those companies and how it's pretty much a scam because of the 'fine print' but I could be wrong

That limo thing ad was exhausting to read

Do they react well to a tune? I'd imagine so given the stock power adder. I looked at some, they are right on the cusp of my budget. I'll probably need to drive one because comfort is definitely important. The ATS-Vs are so sick but way out of my range haha. I would consider the Civic SI for sure. I feel like it's going to be more expensive than the Focus ST but with less performance but I may be wrong. I couldn't find a price point, but I'm guessing around $25kish? The interior that I saw on Honda's site did look pretty sweet though. The Mazdaspeed3 is discontinued, right? I really like the most recent body style, but it misses the one big criteria I have, warranty.

Not really into the Dodge's honestly. Too much bulk. I think I'm really leaning towards the Focus ST, just not sure if leasing or buying certified pre-owned would be better? Does anyone know if simple bolt ons like catback, intake, tune would void the warranty? And I think the Corvette sensed my idea and it sounds like a lifter collapsed today :fuuuu:

The Fiesta isn't bad but a little too small for me. I'm not a huge guy 6'2 210lbs but that cat is more suitable for an average size female I think. The Focus doesn't cost much more to justify the Fiesta IMO. The WRX, BRZs are a good option to look into

So I know I just bought the Vette but honestly, I think the thought leading up to owning ended up being a lot better than actually owning it. I don't regret buying it but I don't see this working out long term. I don't think I enjoy racing like I used to and the twin disc clutch kills the enjoyment of driving it around town and becomes more of a chore than anything. I'm getting a company truck soon so I'll be able to drive it to and from work along with some short errands here and there. My other (daily) car is a 2004 Acura TL (150k Miles) and over the past year it's been falling apart. Averaging maintenance cost around $300-500 every 3 months or so just from shit breaking. I've spent my whole adulthood fixing cars that seem to constantly break, so while the payments may be cheap, the overall cost to own is high. Because of this, I've considered selling both and buying/leasing a cool DD that's at least kinda quick/fun to drive that I can drive all year around and that's under warranty. This car won't be a commuter to and from work (company truck) but I'd still like something comfortable, with at least decent interior features that can still manage to drive in somewhat bad weather from time to time without many issues. I'm keeping as many options open but some of my preferences are... Manual Average to good MPGs Sporty Nice interior (almost anything newer will be nice to me) Under $20k or under $300/month lease payments Still under warranty for at least 2+ years Some of the cars I've considered... Focus ST Genesis coupe Mustang or Camaro (4cyl turbo)

What about the next obstacle?

Pointy elbows, weird sunglasses. 3/10, would not bang. Wait, too late

Yeah regardless of rental car next time I plan to rent a Polaris or something for a half a day or a day instead of doing the Pink Jeep Tour Next time for sure! We didn't visit Glendale but did explore Scottsdale a little bit. I could definitely see myself living there

I'm sorry that I don't exactly trust an article that states a budget cut of $8.25 million will effect "millions" of people

These writers are getting so lazy. Literally grasping for any straw they can now. Pathetic http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-budget-2018-state-department-cut-office-global-womens-issues-oxfam-ivanka-a7701631.html

I've had good luck with Credit Unions but those were for used. I think I remember Chase having a pretty good interest rate assuming you have good credit

Don't you know dumb people pay more for everything? Geeez, you're so insensitive

Ban fast cars

What the hell is a hoonigan

What about the Florida Keys?

My parents trust fund isn't big enough for me to attend these types of events.

Neat little roadster. Interested in the final product :thumbup:
