Just a shame they can't be ridden for a four/five month period around here. If the roads aren't icy they are salty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I see a lot of Mercedes G-Wagons around where I live, a lot of tasteless rich people. I really don't like how they look, it's a cross between a Mercedes and a Jeep and I very much dislike Jeeps. I get a WW2 era Mercedes vibe from it as well, as if it were originally designed for Wermacht officers to scoot around the battlefield, because it looks appropriate for dodging artillery shells. A truly hideous vehicle for the tasteless noveau rich that has a bizarre cult following Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I am very rarely impressed by cars, I see them as a tool whether it be for racing, commuting, work, hauling, etc. I often see people drive expensive sports cars, for what purpose? To drive to and home from work? A waste of time and money, imagine buying a jackhammer to hit a nail into a floorboard. You have a $200,000 bentley? That is nice, I'm sure it fills no other purpose for you than what a used Honda Accord, except you'd have to got a speciality mechanic who'd charge you an arm and a leg for maintenance. The diminishing returns are real, the quality of a $10,000 car and a $30,000 car would be a greater difference than $30,000 and $100,000 They act proud and smug about their vehicle as well as if they were the engineer that designed it, or they even know the first thing about it's maintenance.

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted January 5, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted January 5, 2021 Ive been looking at buying a fairweather car for a little bit now and I think ive finally settled on one. Just gonna keep an eye on the listings for a bit before pulling the trigger as they arent super super common. 2008 Ford mustang bullit. basically a GT with a few extra ascetics and callbacks to the old movie. I basically wanted something with a v8 and stick so mustang was naturally one of the few choices I had in the 00's but I really did like the throwback look of the 05-10s and the prices are somewhat reasonable.

I don't have much faith in that with them bringing the ban forward ..sure they will let us drive them short term with some outrageous tax for the privilege but how long before they tighten the noose??

They're only banning the sale of petrol and diesel cars. If the majority of cars beyond that point are electric, I'm sure the carbon offset will be enough to still allow enthusiasts to drive older cars, at a cost. Being a car enthusiast is already an expensive af hobby so nothing really changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They acceleration on them is insane but nothing beats the sound of your turbo spooling up and then whining when you release the accelerator.

DeadLinesman Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I drove a P85D a couple of years back. Fuck the sound, that thing accelerated like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with all of this tbh. It’s also a bit weird accelerating and not hearing a noise like you’d expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted February 1, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted February 1, 2021 So busy weekend but long story short I ended up picking up my toy. 2013 Mustang GT 5L 6 speed stick.

Rab Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I bought this pretty blindly a few weeks ago. Turns out is a 1/738 colour making it worth around 2x what I paid for it, maybe more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
