Yup, or those 1990s Corollas...those cars just keep going forever and ever.

I have driven a CC when I was looking for a car...it was OK, more luxury than sport to me.

I just got caught up from last night to now....

turns out that we are all dicktards! Especially you newbs!
That's why I sold my 3G, cuz all you newbie dicktards are buying them.

S4/S5 vice 335i, not quite a fair comparison, same year S4/S5 is in the range of $5K+ more than a 335 xdrive. About $10K more than my 2wd car. I watched a Motor Trend comparison video of the S4/5 to a 335i. The S came out on top, but the car is significantly more than the 335i, the S should be compared to the M3 and the M will kick it's ass. New S4/5 is about $60K. 335i is about $48K nearly loaded. M3 is about $63...that would be a fair comparison the the Audi S. Just saying.

I've never owned anything but Japanese. Two Toyota trucks, a 98 Accord V6 Coupe, 99 Accord 4 cyl. 4 door, and the TL.

I like the luxury look of the cc.

You don't know what you're talking about Gary..

Toyota Corolla & Camry, Toyota Land Cruiser, Ford Crown Vic, old F150 and Rangers are also good contenders. If they break they cost a penny to fix and they can go a stupidly long way.

I've owned German (VW x 5, Opel, BMW), Swedish (Saab), French (yes a Peugeot for about 30 secs.), Japanese(Datsun x 3, Nissan x 2, Honda x 2, Acura x 3, Isuzu, Mitsubishi x 2, Toyota), and American (Olds, Pontiac, Dodge, Jeep). Without a doubt the Japanese make the most reliable cars. I owned 5 VWs in my life, they were most pretty good, the bugs and Dasher were great. The Rabbit, Scirocco, and Vanagon not so much. Not to the point of forcing me to change brands until the Vanagon. POS! VW lost their way.

Hopefully this 335i will be a good reliable car. (that I can use regular gas in).

Best previous vehicles were the Isuzu Trooper, a beast, my 280Z cars, Toyota Celica GTS, and the TL.

Anyway, I've owned a lot of cars.

All the love Gary <3

I don't think Audi offering is good enough to compete with what it should compete with, and hereby not a very popular choice. At $60K it's definitely not a cheap car, most people unless completely sold on the interior or the exterior are going to opt for a Mercedes or a BMW it seems.

Still like it whenever I see one, great car in all black.

Well I did start off as electrical engineering and then switched to computer science and then switched to bio med... Should've stopped being a little bitch and stuck with one of them.

The camera sub-forum's "exchange" was fun to read.

You want to write your own check right now, focus on platform security.

Well, I thought it was rather one-sided. But, those who know me may say I'm sorta biased.

GKinColo08TL

That's not the video I watched...I couldn't hardly understand a bit the British babe was saying. The one I watched was an MT video and it was from 2011 comparing the cars. But the Audi had significantly more HP and was significantly more expensive. I'm happy to see the Fifth Gear video, I thought she said the Audi V8 was 428 HP vice 300 HP for the 335i and the BMW beat the Audi. With a price tag that's $5K less than the starting price of the Audi.

And waddya mean I don't know what I'm talking about? Except for the BMW beating the Audi? Huh?

Majofo

You drive a very powerful machine

GKinColo08TL

Agreed, I have a buddy with a white S5...it is sweet looking...

Now I want to race him!

GKinColo08TL

Because racecar!

Get a juicebox first.. just as insurance.

Race him to the bingo hall!


Had a bit of WOT last night with a Civic Si & a Sonata messing around 75mph. Always fun.

GKinColo08TL

I would agree, the one thing I noticed with it was I felt like I had to duck my head to get into it more than with the TL or the BMW. Felt confining.

GKinColo08TL

No, to the 4:30 Country Buffet senior special!

I had some WOT with a 240SX on Sunday, he must have had a turbo or something in it...thought he could beat me. Might have though I had a 328i cuz I debadged it, it was no lo contendre.

Jamie's 08 TL

That British gal was handling business behind the wheel!

polobunny

Hahaha @ senior buffet special

No chance for the 240SX. Even with a SR20DET swap the 335 must have hurt his ego...

Fun cars those late 90ies/early 00s Nissan, I don't feel like we're ever going to see similar cheap & fun cars ever again.

Which reminds me around 2 weeks ago I saw a GT-R on a between 2 walls 45mph "highway" in Montreal. I kept messing around him in 3rd gear for him to open it up and he did eventually. I love the sound, best ass whooping!
Was surprised to see a GT-R in winter though, most people don't drive these... it was pretty dirty too.

thoiboi

Hey I had a 99 Accord too! Although it was a V6.. the transmission is surprisingly still alive, although it does shudder once in a while. Sitting right around 275K I believe..? original engine and transmission too!

I gave it to my sister after getting my 3G..

GKinColo08TL

I had an '03 350Z...it was a fun car to drive. Uncomfortable, the seats being quite firm. 287 HP and they don't weigh much, it was fun.

GT-Rs are popping up around here now, I've seen 2 in the last couple weeks...they sound awesome when WOT for sure! I was beside a GT-R at a light when I still had my TL...he took off...gone in 3 secs! My dick was hard!

polobunny

Which takes a lot, so it had to be something?

You leave yourself open to many jokes, good thing you're a good sport haha!


Just had some ribs with pilaf rice. If I ever get the death sentence I know what my last meal will be.

GKinColo08TL

I might have taken a Viagra...doubt it though cuz I was on my way to the golf course and it's difficult to play with that big protrusion!

I was pricing out Audis online about two years ago, and it stated they all came with the standard 4 year/80k warranty. They also didn't have an option to select an extended warranty, for X number of dollars, like pretty much every other manufacturer I've ever looked at.

I started looking through audi specific forums and everyone would say the same thing: "they're reliable as long as you maintain them". I had beef with that, because shit can always break on a car that isn't even a maintenance item. Am I supposed to pull all electronics every couple years and replace them? Doesn't make sense. I think many guys had newer Audis, so they may have not had issues, but talk to anyone driving a 5+ year old audi and you start sweating bullets.

I'd likely buy a Lexus with NO warranty, straight from a dealership, because they have the reliability locked down. BMW and Mercedes, although not great, are still better than audi, and as pointed out, even Benz has a 5 year warranty.

Maybe audi does offer it, but it wasn't visible on the website and it was enough to scare me away.

On another point, I always thought that the Audi S class was NO comparison for the BMW M class. As pointed out, it would likely be 335 vs S4 for comparable results, but the price gap is huge. Is this true?

What Gary likes to leave out is that he has a driver take him to bingo... And not a chauffeur driver. But a he's-too-damn-senile-to-drive-alone driver

GKinColo08TL

That is true...somewhere in the range of $8K. I priced '11 S4s when I bought my 335i, they were about 10K more for similar mileage. I got a killer deal tho.

Yeah, but my nurse/driver is 24 and wears tight sweaters over those puppies! Don't be jealous!

Majofo

You should really get a JB and up the boost. You can be pretty aggressive since you're at elevation.

btw.. on TFL, the GT-R is the only car to break 4 seconds 0-60 at elevation.. and those guys suck at launching cars, tracking them too. Beast Mode.

Wrong Ice Cream Man....where's the Van Halen version?

We should start a twitter acct with Steven's daily posts... Shit Steven posts..

Suge Knight just murdered a mfr.. with his car. Almost killed an actor as well. He'll probably serve < 1 yr.. if that.

GKinColo08TL

Shoot, I think I can get in plenty of trouble the way it is...

The GT-R....mmmm.

Question for you guys...I saw a video about the Koenigsegg One:1 supercar...Said it was like 1100 HP and premium gasoline and 1300+HP using E85. How can that be?

Edit, it was an article in C & D.
