What Would You Buy Instead: BMW M4 Competition Edition
Challenger Hellcat, with every option except stripes (won't let you do black hood and stripes and the hood is more expensive haha) and including the extra cost Ivor pearly paint. it is 74,850, I will add some Mopar floormats or something to bring it on up haha. Hard choice though as I LOVE the ATS-V too.

New Sentra SR Turbo Quick Drive
I noticed yesterday that they have really cut down their available models for 17. I am aiming for at least 150k with the Beetle haha. The 1.8T seems to be a pretty stout little engine though. I almost wish I had gotten a 1.8T Beetle, but then I wouldn't have gotten the better rear suspension setup.

New Sentra SR Turbo Quick Drive
I am wondering how this will compare with the the Elantra Sport and the Jetta 1.8T (or GLI even).

I wish Toyota would have based the reborn FJ more closely on this. It would have been a hit and stole some serious sales from the Wrangler. Me too. i love those little buggers, just wish they would offer something more inspiring under the hood.

Ultimate Dream Car Garage: Road Trip Edition
My on road list. New: Challenger Scat Pack with the only option being the 8 speed auto. 40,490, but there should be no issue getting at least 500 off the sticker. I figure she is big enough to give pleny of room to lounge in with a comfy ride, and still with good enough handling to be entertaining on the twisties Used: This 2012 Mustang complete with the brembo brake package. http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?endYear=2017&zip=41501&maxPrice=20000&showcaseListingId=426981070&trim1=MUST|GT&mmt=[FORD[MUST[MUST%7CGT^MUST%7CGT%2BPremium]][]]&trim2=MUST|GT+Premium&modelCode1=MUST&makeCode2=FORD&modelCode2=MUST&showcaseOwnerId=67968&startYear=2011&makeCode1=FORD&firstRecord=0&searchRadius=300&listingId=435899778&Log=0

The closest thing we have now to those older smaller off-roaders are the Jeep Trailhawks, but still they can't match these older buggers in outright off-road prowess and in modability.

There is actually a huge following for Trackers too. there is actually someone around here trying to sell and utterly and completely modified one with an LS1 swap. haha. Wants like 20k for it. Honestly, if I was rich........

Ok, maybe not the one with the huge tires, but these are definitely some very nice and maneuverable off-roaders.

Random Thoughts Thread
Was off-roading this weekend in the Dakota and went through and area that was so tight trees were literally 1 to 2 inches maximum from the mirrors. Anyway, it got me thinking, why must manufacturers insist on making their off-road beasts as big and as wide as possible????

Ultimate Dream Garage: Special Edition er....Edition
There are 2 dferent Willys, the basic which has AC as an option and doesn't offer the power group and the Willys W which comes with AC standard and opens up a few more options. What got me thinking about it is a guy here at work apparently traded his focus for a black 2 door Wills over the weekend. Very sharp, though I would still rather have it in graphite

What Would You Buy Instead: Volvo S90 AWD Edition
Very much. Grays can either look dowdy or drop dead sexy and this is definitely the latter!

I LOVE that color!

What Would You Buy Instead: Volvo S90 AWD Edition
Charger Hellcat barely misses the top amount. I am torn actually, an almost loaded SRT 392 which is around 56 the way i want it or an ATS-V or a CTS 3.6 AWD for 4 season capability. I cannot decide.

2012 Beetle Turbo 3 weeks in.
A tune is very tempting. Possibly once the powertrain warranty is out . As much fun as it used to be punking people at the track in a 13 second Grand Prix, imagine how shocked they would be at a 13 second Beetle

Rip Off or Compliment?
The Celica and the Continental are fine I believe since overall style and setup gives them a different feel, I see no resemblance between the 300Z and 944 except color and pop-up headlights, The kia simply doesn't look like the Mercedes to me except they both have round headlights and chrome grilles. The Chinese though, WOW! They have gotten even better at ripping other cars of because before they would look almost identical except the proportions would somehow be off, now they are almost completely mimicking except for very few design details.

Ultimate Dream Garage: 2017 MY Edition
Almost, here is the revision and reasoning: Jeep GC Trailhawk: Good comfortable daily with great off-road abilities Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2 door less daily friendly, but more capable than the GC and gets to serve as my convertible Challenger SRT Hellcat widebody (supposed to be a 17, right?) Great comfy cruiser with lots of power and a fun one to take to the 1/4 mile track Porsche 911 Turbo S when it is all about twisty fun, huge power, AWD handling and grip, and a comfortable and well laid out interior. After thinking is just beat out the 1LE Ram Rebel 4x4 Hemi Work rig, love the air suspension for ease of loading and unloading plus the ride. Still has some off-road chops, and is not rated for any less MPG than any other Hemi Ram.
