Nope. IS350 owner trumps the fanboi-powah over any other car-model owner.


But down the bong.

IS350 is the king.. I raced one on my way home from the dealership in the V. We did a dig and a 40 roll.. he put buslengths on me.

duh.. IS350s are the best. They require zero maintenance and their LCA bushings last forever If in doubt, ask the Lotus owner.

New C&D also did an article on the GS-F.. I didn't know they actually were going through with it. Anyways.. same powerplant as RC-F. It looks freaking nice. Same performance as the IS-F. MSRP is around $75k..

Performance cars really took a jump in price this generation. I'm surprised the NSX is only listed at $150k.

There's also a Q60 coming out for Infiniti.. Twin-turbo 3.0L sport coupe.. fuck yeah!

Don't care for the NA automotive magazines.
Because NA mags are a bunch of paid advertisement, probably. Like every other page is a full page ad for whatever car.
Also both the Dodge Ram and the Ford F150 are #1 JD POWER #1 C&D #1 errything in their category!

Lol, I don't drive a TLX. But hey, apparently I get shit on for being on a Honda forum, talking about Hondas and liking Hondas.

Makes more sense to drive a BRZ, be part of a Honda forum and shit all over it I guess

Might as well be.. how many here are running a different intake manifold or plenum or throttle body or heads from another J. Maybe even different cams.

That's good, usually $200+. Too bad I do nothing that warrants an action cam.

Not all of it...but, for sure...Rockies are just breath-taking. Vancouver is an absolutely gorgeous city.

+1. I like the Vancouver area. GTA looks like shit compared, and Montreal isn't much better if any.

Other cities don't really count.

I dunno, I've seen a lot of beautiful places in Canada. I think Toronto and Montreal are cool cities- there's just something fascinating about big cities... I wouldn't want to live there though.

Quebec City and Ottawa are really nice also.

You can essentially pass through Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta (save for Calgary.. it's a cool city to see for a day) in terms of cities, but there are some hidden gem scenic areas throughout the country. East coast has some interesting... uh... culture.

West coast takes the cake. Everyone wants to live there, hence why it's so damn expensive. Personally, I'm more of a fan of Victoria island- it's cheaper than the Vancouver area, and just a ferry ride away. Going to Tofino is pretty fun too.

Actually, edit that above comment: I'd love to live in Vancouver, but due to costs, it would be much more feasible to live on the island. Still close to the mainland though with tons to do on either side. If you lived in Van, I'd doubt you'd venture much out to the island. If you lived on the island, you'd likely venture to the mainland fairly frequently.

Dammit... the Sony Action Cam is $250 (on sale) here in Canada. I think I'll just wait for the next gen model- hoping it has some additional features.

Don't worry, it feels like GTA in GTA. Ex-mayor Rob Ford, number of sex workers, that sort of stuff... sure GTA5 is based in LA, but really, it should be Toronto.
