Man I set that shit to 79 and never budged. LOVE the cruise control btw. It's so precise and the pause/resume functions are slick.
There are tons of little things that don't even get touted as features that are awesome.
I still haven't figured out how to find what MPG I'm getting. Lol. I rocked "Auto" drive mode all the way home but I've been doing Dynamic around town. It's amazing how it changes the driving dynamics.

I hate cars. All of them.
I wanted a Mustang so bad. And now I don't. I see them everywhere. The GTs are the equivalent of the Dodge Neon. No, not that they're junk (
), but that anywhere you look, even up in the sky, you're likely to see 56 of them. And the GT350? Oh my, do I like that car- but then spending 75k on a Mustang just doesn't seem like a smart idea.
The 370z Nismo tickles my fancy... but only 350hp NA V6... If Nissan kills off the 370z, okay, I don't mind it then. I mean, I really like the looks and the performance isn't bad and they look siiiick on 10" wheels, from the back... but if they come out with a FI version for the next gen, I will totally regret buying the current NA version. Why? Because I can spend 2k in engine mods on the NA, and get to 350 whp, or I can chip an FI version, and make 450hp. You can see where I'm going with this.
Then there's the s5... same problem as the 370z... well.. kind of. It's just old, all around. Plus, it's German. Maybe Audis are getting better... but I'm still not entirely convinced.
New Cadillacs are super nice and sporty.. but their pricing is beyond ridiculous. They make BMWs look like the cheaper alternative these days. Previous gen CTS-V is a possibility... but they're incredibly hard to find here in 6MT form.
So basically, all I'm doing is whining and being a major wiener. For my next car, I'm just going to buy a bus pass and be done with it.

That's funny, because I know of this Japanese company that utilizes a giant "A" as their badge, that'll release a 6 page newspaper add (amongst other venues) to tell you the guy in accounting- the very bottom level guy in accounting- just took a pee break. They'll do the same for the cup holders... and the 0.01hp their 20 year old V6 engine has gained.. and the...
Have you seen the new A/S5 design that just came out last week? Shit is ugly as fuck.
My car will be just like the 3G TL when it's a decade old car. Everyone will want this body style.

Because it sounds like you just need a R1 or a Hayabusa or something.

culo wants you dead. 
Every time I do all that anal ysis you just did, Adam. I come back to the TL-S.
I haven't seen the new Audi, but I'd be shocked if I didn't think it looks nice. Most new cars look great.

And I don't want Adumb dead.
Either of those would be fine in the summer.
In the winter too if he invested in some studded tires (tyres?).
If I moved to the great white north, I'd for sure buy a bigger bike; probably a Hayabusa, and slap a sidecar on it for great hoonage.
