Oh I fucking agree about that. Although it's north america overall that can't park. Usually seems to get slightly better as you go west.
It's not only parking though, it goes for driving as well. First snow here everybody is freaking the fuck out slamming on the breaks and driving 50mph even though they've seen the same shit the year before. The hell man??
Head into Automotive News, dude. Plenty of hate for the look of the GT-R by people.
I don't see how the car is ugly.
But, then again, many think my FX50 looks ugly as sin...so, what do I know?
They're just jealous, methinks. It's the epitome of Japanese styling if you ask me. Sure if your thing is 'murican oversized V8s then the refined V6 'zilla might not be your thing.
FX50's alright, it's basically a bigger FX35. One of the bosses here drives one an FX35, I just think it's a weird luxury SUV. Can't put anything too big in the back, although from the outside you'd think you could.
But who am I to talk anyway, got a freaking TL with a nearly unusable trunk. Got a snow broom in there, my gym bag, a backpack, a roll of shop towels and it's 50% full...
I'm glad I was a positive influence on you when you were growing up. How's your mom doin' these days, by the way?
Well, she's definitely a fat pig, that's for sure. Some guys find beauty in any size though
Fat pig? At 3800lbs, that's a 4th gen TL you're looking at. It's fat compared to most sports cars that try to have 3500lbs and under, but definitely not a mack truck. Also it has backseats, for the kids.

Why are you comparing an all out, twin turbo sports car to a family sedan? Talk about comparing apples to non-apples. The TL isn't even close to being a sports car and weighs what other similarly sized sedans do. Like you said, godzilla is a fatty compared to its brethren.
And sure it has a back seat... but the only way anyone, even kids, are sitting back there is if you cut their legs off. No idea why they put a backseat there. Unless you sit 1" away from the steering wheel, it's completely useless.

I'm comparing it to any car, not the TL in itself but rather the 3G TL to the 4G TL.
300 pounds fatter than other similar cars is equal to less than 10% added weight. And still, all while being so fat, it beats any other car in the price range by a long range.
If I ever had $100K burning in my pocket, it would go there.
Right, so a bunch of short, skinny asians, with the driver sitting 1" from the steering wheel.
A friend of mine bought a GTR soon after they came up and I got to take a good look through the entire car at his detail shop. Looking inside, the first thing I noticed was how stupid it was to have a back seat back there and he concurred.
Look, the passenger seat is several inches in its entire slide forward and there is NO leg room. If someone was sitting back there, the back seat would be trapping them with their legs locked in. How long do you think you could sit like that?
Or how about this, I found on a car review site:
"This car is a 4 seater, not a 5. In the center area you have some of the Bose speakers. It’s pretty uncomfortable in the back. It’s more of a seat for kids, or for your enemies.
The front seats, when slid all the way back, will literally press against the front of the rear seats where your legs would go. Zero leg room. None. Nada. Zilch. If you slide your front seats forward a bit (which is where I’d comfortably be sitting), there is a little bit of leg room in the back."
How about this picture?
That's a back seat? What a bunch of unnecessary weight back there. In fact, looking through google, there were no pics of adults sitting in the back, or anyone older than maybe 7.
By the way, not a single one of those guys is 240. I weigh 225 and I'm 6'7" and I look heavier than anyone of those guys. I also call bullshit on their heights. Yes, even the front passenger.
Margie, once you outgrow your size 28x28 pants, come talk.
PS- while your back there with your baby brother, you can fight over who gets the single cup holder
You can also fit a dozen clowns in a fiat. Doesn't mean it's practical or anyone in their right mind would ever do that.

Didn't you say.. but the only way anyone, even kids, are sitting back there is if you cut their legs off. I show you proof and you're still acting like a little ninny I looked through google and didn't see any pics.. are you fucking kidding me.. I posted a fucking pic.
I also posted a very logical video of why weight is important and you're still on this weight trip. FFS. It's a fucking tactical missile on the track and you're trying to redneck engineer it.
And the front passenger isn't in the trio pic.. comprehension eh? Hmm.. there's Xou, two guys in the back, obviously his compadres in the trio pic, and some other dude... ah ha! lol.. Front passenger is Xou's chubby pasty legal adviser who traveled down with them.. and don't let the shants fool you, they're not tall, but they're not midgets.
Btw.. I drove in Xou's seating position. Even did some donuts in the Planet Fitness parking lot (just for you justn). I'm 6'1 in pumps, 230 after I take a shit.
You ask how long can they sit like that.. like I said.. From the middle of Texas to Vegas and then up to the tundra.. Anchorage to be exact (that's in Alaska pal). Should have spent less time partying in school.

awesome, just plain awesome!
He sold it.. said he wanted to use the money to invest. Btw.. he said he was a computer operator (I was like, wtf does that mean).. it means day trader.
Xou said he's interested in buying the next gen GT-R whenever that is.. maybe we'll have Ebay saga 2.0, hopefully at a dealer nearby.
Yeah, I'm dying to catch it. Hopefully sometime during my Xmas vacation coming up if it is still in the theaters.
It's not getting a lot of marketing but it should. I'm thinking it will with just the kiddos generating revenue over the break. Movie is pretty emotional though. Whole theater was bawling.

Hey, you're the one who took an extremely generalized comment "cut legs off in backseat" and then started posting pics of all your boyfriends. Sorry, from now I will say 156% accurate, no chance of questioning in any single way, comments especially on a forum all I was implying is that backseat is pretty fucking useless for 99.9% of people in 99.9% of scenarios. Who's the one who had to be a smart ass?
Because you know, you NEVER say bullshit comments
Again, you can fit a dozen clowns in a fiat. Doesn't mean anyone in their right minds would do it. I have a friend that crammed his 6'6" frame and his gf in, along with two weeks worth of camping gear and clothes into an NSX and did a 5000km drive. Does that mean all NSXs are perfect substitutes for SUVs? Give your head a shake. He did it for the stories and photos, just like your buddies.
And what's wrong with looking on google for photos? Because you know, I keep pictures of GTR back seats on my computer all the time for fuck sakes Margie, relax a bit.
And yes, I know where Texas and Alaska are, my friend. But hey, if you're insecurities require you to try and take low blows, by all means
I'm done with this topic
By the way, the GTR being a tactical missile? Take those drivers aids off and put an average driver in and let's see how it fairs.
GT-R is engineered well for good balance and traction. It doesn't rely on heavy traction control to keep it where you want it. I relies on weight and aerodynamics to keep it planted. An average driver can drive it near the limit safely unlike others, which is why it's brilliant. You put tweedle dumb in a C6 Z06 and he'll have lost in the first turn, whereas tweedle dee put down a hot lap in the GT-R. Do some research before you post.. mmkay.
