Real men drive late 80s/early 90s Hondas with 5 speed manuals, not Audis

I kid you not, some douche in a GLA250 was hogging up the passing lane.
So I pass on the right.. can you guess what he does?

Fuck this asshole, I smashed on him. Passed him easy but he wants to play games.
I usually don't participate because if an asshole wants to kill himself. Let him.

But it was pretty clear. Let's play.
I must say.. the little 250 has some juice.
But he has a speed governor.. booo... sad face cry now cry later

What I hate the most aside from some aesthetics and interior bits.. is it's optioned like a Porsche.
Base price is low 50s.. okay.. but if you want pretty much standard luxuries you'd expect from a Merc or any brand.. it's +15/20k
Fuck that.. Hell to the nah!

You'd have no problems with that if you owned a GLA.

I'd drive an A45, but have much less interest in the GLA45.
Inching myself closer to joining German-zine, need to try to see how deep the discounts run on them

Not for sale in US.. GLA is the closest you'll get. (just give it a drop)

You have so many options for a hot hatch / sedan nowadays ... I'm envious.

Looking forward to your next "The [Insert Car here] needed new air fresheners so .." thread.

After hanging around with a local VW group for the last year or so ... I'm becoming more and more drawn to GTIs / Golf Rs.

Harsh crowd in here... seems everyone is extremely negative on the Focus RS. It's amazing to hear such differences - I know plenty of people that daily drive their RS with no problems or comfort issues at all.

My ST has been an amazing daily driver. Over 70,000 trouble-free miles with tons of low-end torque to play with while having a comfortable ride with amazing seats and an interior that has everything I need while looking good too.

Anyway, who knows what the next few years will entail. My next purchase won't be for me but for the wife who is due a new car to get out of her old Civic. Will most likely be a CR-V Touring. She said if we get her that then I can get whatever I want after that with no budgetary restraints. She keeps mentioning something luxury-performance, and referencing M... but it has to be four doors. She's really into the idea of an M3, and I'm down with that in 6MT. But when the time comes things could be different. We'll see what happens.

Different strokes. I found the RS to be supremely uncomfortable. Great car and if the interior, seats, and ride was better I'd have one right now but it's just too #becauseracecar than I want.

Unfortunately I think it'll be a while before I'm back. My project is done (going through launch approval now ) and I'm moving on to the next one so unless SHTF, it'll be a while before I need to be back down there. Unless vacation that is...
