For those who have watched White Collar you know that by the middle of the first season every time someone gets in a car it turns into a Ford Taurus advert.
Go Neal.

The first rule of posting on oppo is not talking about posting on oppo

Pretty much everyone is welcome here, really the only rule is to try not to be a jerk.
There's a lot to be learned from some of the people here, lots of talent really.

Have you noticed, though, that this last season is a big BMW ad? I think it's funny how they didn't just change sponsors, but they changed to a different car sponsor.

I tried to watch White Collar, I really did. But, when it came down to it if I had any time to watch TV I just ended up watching Top Gear reruns.

haha she tolerates my obsession, to put it kindly, she stopped actually listening like 2 years back. She likes nice cars to an extent though, and occasionally she will take a picture of a nice car or come to me with some kinda comment and I guess that is as much as I can really hope for at this point haha. And currently I'm in a transitional period, unfortunately driving a '99 CR-V that I share with my little brother. My baby, a '99 civic si, got t-boned about 7 months ago, but since I just got back from studying abroad in London for 4.5 months I'm finally starting to look for a new car. Which is actually why I wanted to post on oppo. I'm looking for a manual wagon that can be had for a decent and want to see what kinda options I have other than dropping a decent chunk of money for an '04 WRX (which is my ideal car, but not ideal price atm)

Is an urgent need to post a "pick my next car" thread sufficient reason for authorship?

Perhaps someone has not approved you yet, they could be asleep. I can't remember all the moderators but one should get to you sooner than later if they havent!

its not exactly urgent, ive been sitting on the decision for a few months, but I've been wanting to get involved for a while and also want some fellow enthusiasts views so it seemed like a good enough place to start

thanks again, oh and btw cause I came in completely off topic. White collar is such a great show, but yeah ever since the first season ive noticed the taurus thing. They seem to use primarily fords in that show, but i dont think its nearly as bad as when american idol used to do those stupid group singing numbers that would inevitably end up with them singing around or driving in whatever car ford was trying to sell at that time

You think that's bad, Warehouse 13 is being sponsored by the Toyota Prius, so every time they go somewhere they have to talk about how the Prius is the perfect vehicle for hunting down bad guys with magical artifacts or some shit like that. The truly ironic thing is that their go-to weapon in the show is the...
...wait for it...
...Tesla!
In the history of advertising, if ever there was a missed opportunity, this was it.

I think the BMW placement is even worse. Even the commercials have the White Collar characters. One or the other USA!

"Followed" just means you will have a featured discussion but can't post. I'm one of the mods and would love to give you authorship but I'm stuck on mobile and Kinja mobile sucks. I will alert the other mods and they will hook you up.
In regards to getting a new car...car shopping is kind of my thing. Feel free to drop me a line of you would like some help.

Haha I guess we just gotta take what we can get. Though she has been taking a lot of interest in nicer cars lately, like her moms s4, which I can get behind. Much better than when I started dating her like 4 years ago

Manual wagon? You'll have lots of friends here.
Depends on how much work you want to put into it. You can make something badass, or you can buy something badass. All it takes is time, money, and skill, pick two. WRX is definitely an option, you could look at some used Audi wagons (manuals would be harder to come by), Subaru Outback STi conversions are cool, BMW Touring 5 series or 3 series, a Toyota Cressida, or a few others that I can't recall off of the top of my head.

A lot of USA Network shows seem to be like this.
Burn Notice: Saab then Hyundai.
White Collar: Ford then BMW.
Royal Pains: Toyota
