J.. I really think you should sell all your cars and drive a piece of shit beater that gets you from A to B reliably (TL)

Save your pennies.. then a year from now, get something newish. Just one car.
That one car being all that you want and more. Could be an AMG GT-R for all we care.
Don't fucking talk about cars to anyone though (especially to lil j), not even here (we already have Flip for that) during that time

But damn if I ever met someone with nice rides who always wanted to put their cock in other rides.
Let me give you my perspective... I check out other cars, talk about them, but I thirst to drive the V.
I think about it while I sit in my cube. I can't wait to tear out of here and I do.

I love to turn her on and hear that lob exhaust. I let it settle and lay down rubber with the window down and tunes up.
She's a cruiser and a bruiser, puts a grin on my face guaranteed. Best way to start the day and end the day.
If you can't say the same (don't convince yourself that you do), move on already.

Yes. I'm here to talk about cars and getting new ones.....


J, I seriously think you're just trying to convince yourself.... I think you really want an S5 deep down.....

Tis' why I'm keeping my beater. Drive that shit for 2-3 more years while I stake some monies, then in 2020 I should be breaking into the 100k a year range.

We convince ourselves we need something bigger and better and that's not necessarily the case. Look at me now...having the V, a dream car, S2000 too...taking it for granted and looking for the next thing.
Probably why I'm divorced. Probably.


Valid points. Although your issue is different...you have the V, a dream cuck, and S2k....but you want your TL back.

You're divorced because you couldn't keep your hands off Austin. Also a different issue

Think I just realized the right answer:
3G TL and Z06 6MT.

Frantz, you live in the city right? Short commute?
I'd get a V or x63 AMG thing cuh

That torque and hellacious power slide is where it's at
It'll reinvent your commute
You'll find turns that start your day

You can drive them in the snow too, just need a winter setup
But as you know, not ideal
I'm a tad south of the city now so the commute is doable but the roads are trash and between the rock chips, potholes, and crappy drivers, idk fam.

That torque is what I'm after, I think. The TL is still fun to drive and whatnot but I think I'm just craving a little more. And by a little, I mean at least double the TL's output.

Winter is a concern which is why I'm not opposed to keeping the TL and getting a weekend/spring/summer ride. Z06 I would do

LOVE the E63S but it's out of my range right now. Plus the maintenance - that's what scared me out of getting that S63 a few years back.

Edit: The promotion put me at 84k.....

So if I bump up two more positions, I'll be at 125k a year.... Which, if I keep eating managers vaginas I'll get there in 2 years.

If I was private sector, I'd be making more though. Damn gubermint......

If only we could get salary increases like that.

We have to go by gubermint codes and shit.. Usually once a year you get 5% until you max out in your classification.

I have friends like, "We getting our annual bonuses." Man, fuck y'all, we don't get that kind of shit.
