Buddy just bought a 16 maybe 17 srt charger...

Omfg!! He lowered it, wheels, tint, and exhaust. I couldn't get pics because it was at night, but that thing is a beast. The exhaust is so mean. When I took it on the freeway I opened it up. My eyes lit up and my penis got hard..

Don't wash it. Just let her be the dirty bitch she's supposed to be and all the color mismatch will start to mute.

This suggestion brought to you by us lazy MFers everywhere.

maybe so. But you won't have RWD or tire shredding horsepower and torque at your disposal.

While the accord is nice and a great value for what you get, it's definitely no muscle car.

I'd skip on the srt and settle on the 392 scat pack. Save some dough. Still a nice car. Still will haul ass.

Or... buy a one year old car. Still has new car smell. You'll save a bunch though. Not that you're looking to buy, I assume, but just saying.

I'll take better pics this week. Maybe start a thread. Just sucks I can't post pics if the rear end, unless I edit them, due to a certain creepy fuck who likes to dig up too much info on people

Those pics I posted yeterday were pretty brutal. I didn't realize the lighting was all messed up. I was in a rush to get outta there.

Nah, no new car over here. I'll keep the Accord for a long time. Just wanted to see how much that fool was spending on a vehicle.

I'd have a hard time paying that much too, but you gotta admit, they are badass cars.

How much is a new m3 in the US? 60k?

Hmm.. There's a remaining '15 Grand Cherokee High Altitude out here for 13k off MSRP.. I wonder what a lease would be on that.

If I were getting a charger or challenger, there's no way I'd be able to get anything less than an SRT. I could live without a hellcat, but that's crazy...a muscle car kinda needs muscle, right?
I mean, live the dream within your dreams and all but I'd rather have the accord all decked out best they have to offer than something less than the balls out srt.

I learned that early on...
maybe it stems from my hs buddy's always making fun of anyone with a suped-up 4 cylinder fox body.
Or my regretting settling on an LX and not an EX 1997 accord. I would see ex with leather and nicer exhaust and wheels and thought, I will never have trim level envy again.

The ONLY caveat is something like the hellcat which pushes a car into pricing territory that seems ridiculous. In that case, SRT is good enough for me although I'd still have envy when I'd see one, gotta know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em!

Buy a LX, install EX badges. Profit.
Buy a I4, add V6 badges. Double profit.
Buy a gas motor, add hybrid badges. Cry in a corner.
Buy an Accord, install RLX-SH badges. Get prescription for Viagra.

So I went to Pitbull concert Friday. Was fun. But you guys might like this. With the tix I got given parking in the Lexus luxury garage. So I park between a RCF and a GSF. Crappy pics but nice cars.

Red one is an RC430 F sport. Black was a GS 350 F sport. My bad on the naming. I was trying to be quick.

Interesting...apparently, a Canadian whiskey won the Whiskey of the Year according to booze-guru, Jim Murray...Crazy enough is that there was some stock at a local wine/spirits shop...Sold out pretty much everywhere though.

Still, a $40 Crown Royal...WotY...? Gonna try it shortly.

Toasting to my friends on AZ.


I'll say this...after a couple of sips over some chilled whiskey stones, this is actually darn good for a $40 bottle. And I'm not even letting the "hype" get to me...but, for what I paid, this could easily pass for something that sells for $200.
