I hate Peter Read.

 

I just got some Volvo S60R wheels with Pirelli snow tires for winter. What do I inflate them to? My summers were 36psi. Now, I am not sure what I follow. The car or the tires?

 

The 'ole snow/tread path discussion. I think it's tire specific, so whatever Pirelli recommends. I'm guessing a few psi over.

 

Thanks. I usually have just run an all-season.

 

x2 on following the tire recommendations. That's what I do.

Also... is it just me or are these cars surprisingly cheap now? Genesis sedans for under $14k:

It's cheap because it has 86k miles.

 

That car should do 2x that easily. What a steal.

 

Yeah, but having a bunch of years and miles left on the warranty sure makes you feel warm and cozy.

I'll take this one

2012 Gen 5.0 R-spec 6k miles - $30k

 

Wow. Crazy depreciation.

 

^Yeah. It doesn't help that dealers practically give them away at model year-end. If you buy a $40k car for $25k, you don't mind selling it for $15k a few years later.

 

2012 SRT8's with only a handful of miles can be got for ~$30k

 

Adjust to your liking. I typically run 34-36 in my snows.

 

Thanks!

 

Just picked up a 2014 Mazda 6 Touring w/Tech package. Black friday sales do translate over into car dealers...

 

<strike>Tits</strike>, err, pics or GTFO!

Congrats! Gorgeous car.

 

Congrats! That'll probably be my next car as well.

 

Awesome Moosey!

 

Congrats! AT? MT?

 

Congrats MM! Let's see some photos!!

 

 

Congrats MM!

 

Congrats!!

Upon Paul Walkers death, one of my friends knows i like to drive spiritedly told me. At least you drive a corolla, so it will be safe

I dunno what crash test ratings area at, but shitty tires, brakes, handling dont account to being safe for me haha

That being said, I dont drive nearly as spiritedly in the corolla as I did in the acura. Car inspires no confidence for reasons listed above.

 

I'm sure the Corolla's a great car for other reasons, but it was the least interesting or entertaining car I've ever driven.

That's what I should've asked instead.

 

It is an appliance. A Kenmore electric range. It is supposed to just work every day forever until it doesn't. And the owner is fine with it because the car has done its job.

But I could never bring myself to own a car like the Corolla.

 

Neither could I, my parents do... I would never buy one. I'm just glad I have a car because of them, at this point.

 

So wait... what ended up happening to the TL? Does your dad drive that now?

 

Yup he drives it now. He doesn't need to drive it much thats why.

I believe I'll be taking the corolla up to Sacramento. Can't wait till I buy a new car and be done with driving this car.

This is my everyday car with a baby due in march. I WILL BE A FATHER TO MY SON!!!! (I'm pretty excited, it is our first).

I may be securing the funds to pick up a high mileage S2k for shits n giggles to not have my forum/man card revoked for going with an automatic transmission.

Car is great, navigation blows, and I can't believe a 27k msrp car with a "tech" package doesn't have seat warmers. Other than those few gripes it is awesome. Oh, the wind noise issue, it is real, very very real. Sounds like the windows are cracked at all times. Car is very light on it's feet and loves the twisties, if it had about 50-70 more hp it would be the best car one could purchase new under 30k, hands down.

Tinting tomorrow (12/2), intake and sway bar on order, might be securing some exhaust (axle back) and may look into sound insulation to get rid of the wind noise. We will see what the future holds, I used to own a 1996 Mazda 626 V6 that was sweet, I had to get back into the family.

Wife wants me to start saving for the NSX, I think I may skip the S2k and go with her advice...

This is also the first car I purchased brand new for myself. Bought the wife a 2012 CRV EX-L which was brand new at the time.

 

Congrats on both accounts!! Mazda 6 is def a looker

 

Looks good Moose.. your first mod should be scraping that Rick Case emblem off.

 

I hate it when dealerships put their damn emblem/logos on the cars they sell. I refuse to buy a car from any dealership that does so. LOL

 

wait wtf... since when did dealers do that?! I've never seen that before.

 

For a while. Depends on the dealer, but a lot do. I find it ballsy as hell to think they have a right to use my car as free advertising.

 

Thats because its more a mid-west/east coast thing...you don't see that in LA...rarely. They just try and stick a license plate frame on the car.

 

Rick Case....HORRIBLE dealer reputation.

 

Yea I guess so. I've never seen it down here.

That sounds horrible though, I would never ever want that.

 

Yeah, I have some goo gone around somewhere I will do it and take better non-cell phone pictures tomorrow after I get the windows tinted.

After 3900 for my trade in and nothing else down. I took the 6 with Tech package for a little over 21k, gap insurance included, paid cash for the all weather mats.

 

They've done out in those parts for decades.
