Now that the Disco is about to become a proper OL rig, she wants to stop DD’ing it. She is beholden to the comfortable seats of modern Volvos, I am swaying her to something a bit more luxurious and Asian. My recommendations Genesis Sedan 5.0 or Lexus GS350 F-Sport. (These will be used cars, but acutally the options are endless as we have ludicrously close ties to the Tennessee dealer auctions. In the process of checking some inventory at the dealer that is a child company of mi esposa’s company, I found this

(Disclaimer, not the actual car, the dealer photos are quite poorly)

Highlights:

2013

25K miles

No Microsoft Sync (thank you)

and it is already cheap as hell, meaning that when the dealer markup goes away and we only pay doc fees, it will be down right ridiculous.

Now, neither of us have driven it, but the wife actually liked it and didn;t mind the 6-speed because price/mpg/potential for fun/fold flat seats.

So the next step is to see if she likes how it drives. Although part of me wants to try to get something RWD.

I want her to let me buy this, and I am planning on going to see it this week.

Manual, 535i E34 from 89. How difficult could it be to DD this?

Genesis and GS are solid choices. If you can find one of those for a good price then do it.

Iam a FiST driver so I am biased towards her getting a FiST for DD fun, but if you have kiddos then the FoST will be 100x easier.

Barring either of those, the genesis coupe isn’t a bad choice but a used genesis R-spec would be baller.

Get her a FiST and make a jalop out of her. Get her out to the octane academy before they close miller motorsport park for good. That experience changed my life. No hyperbole. I roadtripped from west michigan out to utah and back in 4 days. Day #4 was a 22 hour drive. Something like 10 states, 3 time zones, and something like 1600 miles in that span. Still love mine to death. Still a road trip boss.

Honestly (I may be biased) as a die-hard RWD lover with AWD tendencies, the FoST does not feel like a typical FWD car. It’s on the oversteer side of neutral. The FWD only rears its head with the occasional (still pretty rare) torque steer and the loss of traction on hard acceleration.

I want to get the FoRS and can afford it but the esposa said not until some things are paid off. But she is flipping and wanting something, now. And the FoRS hasn’t been confirmed anywhere near me so, shit.
