Joking about the sea cucumber.

Looking to get back into a car-car...with AWD, of course. Loving the E-Class Estate or the A7.

But, still at least 2-3 years out.

Hopefully buying something German of that ilk removes the ridicule some of you meanies have thrown at me since I've owned my FX.

Jerks.



Call my car a sea cucumber stung more than getting banned. SRSLY.

Keep the sea cucumber..
I actually think it's a great ride.. plenty of power and space for a small fam. I like the looks..

Hence why another 2-3 years...after that, I'll likely get too bored and itchy (for a new car)...

And I'm kidding about what people generally think about the Sea Cucumber. I buy what I like. And tell the haters to stomp on LEGO bricks.

I wish. Probably a smaller engine. My mid-life crisis car is not yet here...I'm guessing it'll probably be a Boxster or Cayman when I hit the five-o or something.

One thing I really like about the FX - There may be no better sounding stock exhaust on a car.

I think that's the first and only nice thing you've ever said about my Sea Cucumber.







I'm bookmarking this post. And never moving it to another thread.









































And you may repost it as much as you want. I will allow it.

That's one thing that the V lacks.. nice exhaust grunt. The whine is intoxicating but I want that hot rod sound. There are some catback options but not into spending so much coin for not a great sounding exhaust. Thinking of going old school and just dropping the mufflers. Go / No-Go?

No-go on the muffler delete.

1 - I think it would drive you nuts after a while.

2 - It sounds too much like that rusted out Chevelle sitting on four flats in the hillbilly's yard, surrounded by 15 barking dogs, and only ever started to wake up the hillbilly's hillbilly friends who passed out in the front yard from drinking too much moonshine.

You don't know me T..
I'm a delinquent

I'm serious though.. the V exhaust is super tame. Might as well be a Tesla.
It does have a nice startup though.

Go with Flowmaster Super 44 mufflers and get rid of the resonators.
