Damn wish I got a chance to go! Next year! But too bad the engines wont sound as good


On a happier note, I reached my first step in achieving my goal of getting a GTI in a years time! I got a job

Well obviously me buying the car will kinda of be determined by my financial situation at that time.

I'm moving to sacramento though Wonder whats up there...

Majofo

No job is worth moving to Sactown..

speedemon90

I'll see how it is. I've been in socal pretty much all my life. But I'm probably going to be doing a bit of traveling anyway. Plus its a great opportunity and I also have nothing else lined up for when I graduate. That or be unemployed.

Sacramento!?

Man! You will miss LA!

I did a 1 year home stay program when I first came to the States back in 2001 at Sacramento. There's like nothing there.

But anyway, congrats on the job man. Fight on!

Costco

man

Yeah, the town I'm in is way better than Sactown but I still preferred LA, minus the traffic and all.

speedemon90

Thanks guys

Yea I know I'm moving away from a good location. But its not something super permanent in my mind. After a couple years I'll be trying to move back down here, either within the company or I'll find a new job haha. Hopefully the former though.

Costco

Yeah, you have to realize it's only short term. But you can learn a lot from moving away from home, and it will make you appreciate where you came from and the people in your life that much more.

Who knows, you might even like Sacramento more than Socal

that was amazing.

M6 is nearly as long as the E63 Wagon?

6-series is insanely long.

speedemon90

Man, the SLS black is one of the most sinister cars out there. I think it may be one of my favorite cars... I just love it for some reason.

ttribe

Yeah, the 6 is a BIG car. It's really a GT coupe, not a small performance coupe.

Watch this.

No problem.

So last night, my aunt pulls up in a brand new Audi A7. Man, what a beautiful car.

I didn't get to drive it though, I have a major head cold and didn't want to touch the car

charliemike

Why? It would have cured you.

charliemike

Fuck yes. F-Type Coupe. Sounds amazing. Probably $100k but gawdamn.

srika

damn nice, you gotta tell us about the interior and experience riding / driving it when you get the chance -
Jaguar is doing some great things these days - what a gorgeous car. And, $100k for a Jag with 500hp that does the quarter in 12.0 @ 120 (!!!) is not too shabby IMO. I could mention this car in the same breath as Aston Martin, and look at the cost of their offerings and how much grunt you get. Compare it to the V8 Vantage roadster, that is $150k, and it does 12.9 @ 112 in the 1/4. Quick, but not QUICK like the Jag. Ok there's my dialogue about that.

chill_dog

That Jag is gorgeous!

Yumcha

Sure. But, I'd still take an Aston Martin Vantage over a Jag.

The interior of the Aston Martin is just perfect. Don't care about the slight performance improvement from the cat car.

savage

I believe that the M6 Grand Coupe is even longer than the E63 wagon. It's huge...

charliemike

$50k is $50k though. Though no one is making payments on a $100k car so they probably have enough to justify the extra money anyway.

Majofo

I heard Jag is only producing a handful of these F-types to our shores.. why the huge marketing blitz? brand recognition?

Majofo

I have mine on layaway

also.. used AM > new Jag

charliemike

Maybe to sell the F-Type cabriolets ...

Thanks to it's good looks, the M6GC can get away with anything

srika

112 vs 120 mph in the 1/4 is not "slight" ... the Jag will walk away from the Aston.

I know performance isn't everything with these cars, but that does stand out to me - along with the price difference -

and, I think the Jag's interior looks a lot better - the Aston's is looking dated already.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

I like the Aston's interior more. It seems to flow better and doesn't look as chunky

srika

oh I think I forgot a "IMO" above

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

No worries, I know it was implied

Though I must admit, pictures of the F-Type do the car no justice. It's gorgeous in person.

srika

that is good to hear

I have yet to see one

srika

and you're right, it is implied

ttribe

IMO F-type Roadster > Coupe.






But I'd still take the Aston over either.

RPhilMan1

Hmm, I really like that Jag. I think I like the interior over the AM as well...

Does it have a black headliner?

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

This one showed up to the May C&C in Charlotte.

srika

and you'll need $50k extra to do that

srika

I would never say the Jag is a "better" car than the Aston - I mean class-wise, the Aston is clearly a step above. My thoughts here mainly come from a 'bang for the buck' viewpoint.

Sarlacc

Then they must all be in LA...because they are not rare out here at all...but they are sexy as hell.
