Which totally negates all your reasoning for why you were gonna sell to begin with!
Uhh...dammit...you're reinforcing my theory on once you supercharge you end up selling. Still not sure why...
Actually i've even been thinking about real big & comfy like 7 Series-like cars, problem is the only Jap that big and comfy is the Lexus LS 460 but it might be toooo big. Even thought about the RL but it actually isn't big at all.
It was nice meeting you the other day, hopefully you don't end up getting rid of the tl after all that work you put into it. Here is a couple pictures I took the other day.
You'd be surprised at the crazy things we convince ourselves to do. With age, comes experience and experience eventually turns to wisdom...and with wisdom comes the foresight to know how the outcome of something you're considering doing before you do it and have to feel any regret.
Not saying that a new Lexus won't be awesome...and that the TL hasn't been thoroughly enjoyed. I always thought the supercharger was the nail in the coffin because people were disappointed with the power and the fact that they craved more or a platform better suited...now I'm starting to realize that once you make the car pretty and sexxy...last thing to do is make it fast. Once you do that you end up feeling like it's "done" and the journey is complete. Since you do all your own work...that leaves a void you eventually want to fill.
Trust me...I found a list of cars I was considering 2.5 years ago...and a week before I sold the S2000 I considered selling the TL and buying a truck, then I think I want a mustang, then I think I want a classic car, then I think I want something good on gas.
Then I end up happy I still have my TL and I wash the car and take new pictures and just STFU about it.
I finally got a buddy of mine (fellow Ridgeline owner as well) to take a quick video. Sorry the video is so short, we're gonna try to make a better one in a couple weeks.
Yeah, of course I do. I also sometimes consider eating a whole pizza, having intercourse with vida guerra, selling the house to buy a lambo, getting a prince albert, quitting my job.
All cool ideas in theory...but in the end, will I feel fulfilled?
Nawwww...I'm good...I'll enjoy watching you supercharge...until I find a used set up for a reasonable price (read that: cheap)...it's not even a real possibility for me.
OK gents, after careful consideration I have made my decision. I will be selling my car ASAP and its all because of Rockstar's theory of Supercharger Depression.
I have been swaying back and forth with the decision for a very long time but it all became very clear once Rockstar mentioned his theory of Supercharger Depression for the 114th time. For the past year or so things have just not been right with me. I hadn't expressed this on my thread because i'm a very private person but about the time i installed the supercharger my life has taken a turn for the worst and i finally realized why. I'm currently at least 50 lbs over weight. Drugs, Spam and Milwaukee's Best are all i consume on a daily basis. Taylor Swift is the only artist in playlist. The View and Dr. Phil are the only shows in my DVR. I even noticed that out of my last 50 likes on Facebook, 43 were for Dustin Diamond from Saved by the Bell. All along i thought the increased acceleration and the supercharger whine were making me happy but they were just creating a void that i have not been able to fill. I want to thank Rockstar for opening my eyes to the true source of the problem.
Anyways, you will not be seeing my car on the AZ Blackmarket. I have decided to post it for sale exclusively on the Kia Forums. I figure those guys could use a little help and this is my way of giving back.
Damn man, I feel like I've been going through the same thing you've been going through, but then I keep ended up at the same conclusion as J.
I'm fairly certain that this is the longest I've ever owned a car, currently at about 3 years 2 months. The problem is that I feel like I want my next car to be something special. I went and test drove a 2007 Audi S8 for fun. Was a beautiful car and fantastic to drive. And while they are actually proven to be more reliable than many people realize, I couldn't get myself comfortable with the fact that I might end up with a few big repair bills that would have me missing my trouble-free TL in a big way.
In reality I see myself as a 2-car kind of guy as well, but I'm just not in a situation that allows two cars right now. Maybe when that time comes, I'll consider getting something besides the TL as my daily. Until then, i'll probably just keeping washing it again and realizing how much I still like it.
That was probably the most well thought out and funniest thing you've ever posted, Marco. I just always like to know why someone makes a certain decision...like, their train of thought. To me, to have made such a great looking car that is also supercharged and 4 door and reliable...getting rid of it just doesn't compute to me.
Haha, I completely understand. Just don't have the free cash flow to put extra money into another vehicle right now.
I think the reason I consider getting rid of the TL is because it's doesn't seem like a second car, especially the way mine is now. If I had something special as a weekend car, I'd probably put the TL to stock, and if it was just a plain old TL again, I'd probably be tempted to sell it for something different.
No skin off my back, no matter your reason. I don't care how you slice, dice or explain it. I have noticed that when people supercharge their car, they sell it pretty soon afterward.
