Very likely has no A/C problems. Also, likely no A/C. Still clearly the best car.

Wait are you shopping for a new ride for your wife, or are you shopping for a ride to get you a new wife...because by those cars it looks like the latter, LOL.

Pick this one. It has a flower so you know it's feminine, because cars are gendered like that.

She rolled her eyes when I said I liked it. She wouldn't be caught dead in a Fox body.

I told her that I want the GT-R. She asked if it would fit the kids. I said yes, but there would be no room for her.

Texas Direct Auto. Look up their inventory. They have one '74 FJ in the lobby, another outside. We're sitting next to a murdered out '14 Stingray (auto, bleck) right now while we negotiate.

Shopping for my wife. Drooling over the cars that I want. I think we just came to terms on a 2011 Expedition Limited.

And I'm a salesperson's worst nightmare. I got an A in Advanced Negotiations.

YUP. Although I'm still high on the GT-R. The one here is a '13. Daddy Likes.

The mom mobiles are outside. The cars for us are inside.

I will admit that the Bronco is the only car out of all of these example that made me drop my negotiation/poker face.

Too bad they don't negotiate at that place... I've tried it

It's basically Carmax, but with nice cars

A used ACR is surprisingly affordable.

It pays to know people high up in the food chain (owner).

I'd prefer a car without racing slicks.

After reviewing the title I put on this post, I realize that it could be misconstrued.

Glad it still floats your boat.

Holy crap!! They have a massive inventory. Their prices aren't bad either. Now I know where to look for a Viper, ya know, when I decide to blow my life savings on a Viper.

And why have I never heard of this place? Nice showroom. Knowing the owner.... Does it get you test drives?

They're the largest internet dealer in the country. And yes, much selection.

I worry we would become the poster boys for GT-R fan clubs.

I'd rather dip my nuts in lava than have that happen.

It's a cool car, don't get me wrong. But I don't stop and take pics when I see one on the street.

What happened to the V-Sport?


Kinja'd!!! PatBateman > Deputy Kovacs

It's still on my radar. Now that my wife has an Expedition (purchased yesterday) I'm good to buy it (or a similar performance sedan). Just waiting on a couple of deals to go through. Maybe later this year.

Or I might get greedy and wait for the actual V to come out. Decisions.

CTS-V would be cool... I don't think it's due out for at least another year though. I'm sure there will be a tune on the V-Sport to give it a healthy boost in the near future, too.

Haha, Make sure that you've got a radar detector.
