1) Thank you for the kind words, sir.
2) You deserve 'em.
3) Kona-DeepThroat Blue. Hahahaha. I'm definitely telling people that's the color code from now on.

I'm loving this thing so far, MPG's not the best, but also not much worse than my old G37. Plus, the stock exhaust with a muffler delete is to die for. Snap, crackels and pops everywhere on command!

Thanks, man...very much.
Well, congrats...
My bud had a 2013 with flowmasters...holy loud...but very intoxicating! I think you did VERY well with that car! I swear, as much as I would love the CTS-V muscle car...I have to own a Mustang 5.0 at one point to get it out of my system. Mileage...meh...he would text me pics showing 28 mpg on the highway! NOT BAD!

Thanks Steven!!!! We fell in love with it last year and bought it!!! So easy and we look so festive

That inflatable is pretty cool too!

D's Up

J, we need our daily dose of banana yellow ap2 action. Where you at bruh

Holy hell, really?
LOL...drove the TL today!
Actually, she's on stands right now...getting new tires mounted!

D's Up

I gotta ask, how's it feel going back forth between the two? Does the TL still do it for you?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Funny you should ask...
it absolutely does.
Inevitably...every time I'm in the S...I see a modified TL, and I'm like...BRUHHH WE BROSS I HAVE ONE TOO!!! FOR REALL>>>IS TRUE!!! I PROMISE!
I'm such a dork.

and vice versa too!

Well here it is...the TL is MUCH nicer to be in when it's raining and I don't feel like bare knuckling it...and for space, hauling anything including the kid...has bass and a sound system...and there seems to be SOME torque...more refined...so when I drive the TL, I'm happy as fuck...but then, within a day or two...I am like...I would love to drive a roadster...wind in my hair, sound of the exhaust...smell of the smog...oh shit...I have one! Then I'm antsy to fire up the S and drive that.

So it's literally a circle of absolute joy where I'm never bored and I'm never really longing for something else.

D's Up

You lucky son of a gun. You've got the perfect match at your finger tips at all times! Do Zoe and Betty even get any love or do you give it all to your cars. hahahaha

Funny you ask that too...today, I changed my facebook profile picture to a pic of my wife holding the baby with our tree in the background and posted my "3 favorite things"...

which made me realize that I love them more than anything.
That said...at 5pm today Betty drove, I had a tire on my lap and we shoved 4 wheels and 4 tires into her car to get the TL some new rubber...2.5 year old tires were slippin and sliding all over the place so I had to do it...I also went back to 235, which has the correct load bearing for the TL's weight...

safety first!

Thanks, man...can't believe you would say such nice things after reading your own experience with the 5.0. Oddly enough, I feel like I'd be just as happy with the 2014 body style too...I love the look of them too! And could score one pretty cheap. Now, just to convince B that 1 guy DOES need 3 cars...

D's Up

That's a beautiful thing, you guys sound like one big happy family. And you found a lady that is accepting of your car addiction?! Hell yeah you hit the jackpot. Haha. I'm sure you can convince her that one more car won't make thaaaat much of a difference, right?

Plus that way I'll have something to drive if I'm ever out in your neck of the woods.

The 12-14 Coyotes are definitely coming down in price big time. I think if I were to own any one domestic it would have to be a coyote 'stang, whether the 12-14 or the 15 and up. At least a 2012 coyote will soon be under 20 grand with low-ish mileage here in Canuckistan...

I was considering that too but after seeing D's...and a few others around my area...there's something about that new fastback style that's winning.

And yes sir, I certainly did hit the jackpot! She's a cool lady.

Been keeping up on the baby on FB but not on your cars! So congrats again on your beautiful princess..

So, late Christmas with the fam and a house full of sickies made for a solo trip...
decided to bring the camera and make the most of it after a nice wash and coating of Wolfgang's Deep Gloss Sealant 3.0.

Car is an absolute blast to drive...especially at night when it's not hot out.
Ran into another Rio driver...we gave each other a high five from a distance



and
my cousin gave me this for Christmas...

Man, one day I'm afraid I'm going to read a news article that starts, "Florida man run over on highway while trying to take pictures of his..." And I'm gonna know who it is.

Majofo

and or.. falls 50 feet after standing on highway barrier...

iTrader: (6)

You guys...
well, you already know Joe and Kevin get the TL...
Justin, Johnny, FJ, D'sUp and Austin get the S...

In case I fall or get nailed by a car. It was somewhat hairy but I stayed close to the barricade so if I did get nailed it wouldn't be from texting/driving...it would be that hey were trying to kill me!

Steven Bell

Dude, you should have had the cop get a picture of you WITH the car!





I like the "Wrong Way" picture the best!

On serious note. No shot is worth your life Jeremy, you're a father now so you have more priorities than just Betty.

You don't even care about my cars!
Just kidding...
Jonathan gets dibs on the S also... Him and Johnny can fight over who keeps it.

I know you're right, man...

Thanks for all the compliments, guys...some of that last set were my favorite I've taken of the car and NONE of the ones I really love were the risky ones. I mean, it was really wide shoulders and an on ramp from one highway to another where there were a few seconds between single cars so it wasn't THAT bad.
