I mean it's a car, they're going to require maintenance at some point, you can't avoid that. Everyone always says "Oh it's German and it's going to cost an arm and a leg to fix" Yes. It will. However, if you don't run the car into the ground and keep it well maintained (which assuming you would because, well, you're probably a car guy being on a forum such as this one), the car will perform day in and day out. I thoroughly enjoy the car, much more than I did with the FX even after the mods. I really plan on keeping it for as long as I can.

 

Do it, love that car!

 

Well, that's the thing, even with routine maintenance, as a rule...German cars will be harder to work on, and will require a much more expensive part (when compared with an american/jap one).

That's what's kept me away...I would love one, one day...but I've been warned by my very handy self working on german engineering high school friend...to be prepared. He's the same guy that steered me from buying his E46 M3 from him.

That said, don't get defensive about it...people say it because it's true, that doesn't mean that your car sucks. Quite the opposite...I wish you many years of maintenance free enjoyment!

 

Exactly. You really have to go into purchasing a German car with the mindset of "it will be a pain in the ass to work on if something goes wrong. If you think it'll be cheap to fix then nothing but disappointment will come from repair bills.

Oh and

 

any other updates for us?

 

Soon.

 

Too soon, Junior.
Want me to spill dems beans?

 

No. Also update your siggy.

 

 

BRBDYING!

 

Oh Tyler, you...Tyler. YOU!

Nawww...for sentimental value I'll keep the siggy. Also, new pics in TL thread. Fk that, love the one you're with.

 

I just also got a hell of a steal on some parts I didn't plan on getting so...yeah.

 

So.

 

OMG...the slow unveiling. Shoot me.

 

When is the stuff that shipped this week due in?

 

probably early next week.

 

so he'll show us around Christmas time.

 

One fraction of a piece at a time and string us along for weeks!

 

Soon. Very soon.

Y'all know me just so well.

 

oh shit! JDM mirror on your Mercedez?

 

This is the automotie equivalent of just the tip.

GIVE US THE WHOLE SHAFT ALREADY!!

 

Unfortunately for Tyler (and pretty shocking since he's 7 feet tall)...that WAS the whole shaft! Must've dug the ruler in when he read us his measurement.

 

Fixed.

Not even close, Jeromey.

 

J

He's not 7' tall.

And I forget that this vehickel revs in Germish, so Schaft is the proper spelling.

 

Schafft Rider!

 

since i was the first one who guessed your new car correctly. Let me try this again.

 

 

Quit stalkin me!

 

Look at that wheel gap!

 

Lol

 

Yeah, addressing ride height is now priority!

 

Why don't you two split air ride for me then?

 

What would we do with half of an air ride setup?

 

Good sh*t Morgan...

I personally wouldn't pay for it becae you're far dumber and more yolo with your money than me

 

Give it to me.

Please don't use yolo in reference to me. But thanks for the kind words J.

 

Why not? You only lost one...

 

Yeah but half doesn't work all the way, so I need a full set!

 

I didn't even get the reference...
was thinking...
FX, CL, now this...Jet Ski, pretty sick set of Oakleys...yeah, you're pretty Yolo!
haha...

If I was ballin like that, I'd be glad to buy you a sack suspension for your car.

 

It's more of a "saving my money for things I want" than "yolo."

 

Hey, you know your finances better than anyone else, that's for sure!
