ehhh. i’ve met some 22 year olds that can handle a car WAY better then some 40 year olds.

also met some 40 year old that should be on the bus.

attitude is more of a factor then anything else.

I bought an 06 GTO for my 21st birthday present to myself. But who in their right mind buys a Honda for the price of a V8?

There’s no need to turn anyone away who wants to buy something from you, just get a deposit.

Oh, of course. But I’m talking about the kind of person that drives a Jetta expecting it to be a touring car.

Maybe they think you’re already too old for it.

Really, though, it’s probably the finance arm calling the shots here. Anyone who is even a slight credit risk is going to get massive rates. I have some former coworkers from Bancomer and they describe your retail banking system as much more akin to what’s called Payday Lending in the US.

Probably explains why Mexico is one of the most profitable markets for BBVA’s 15+ countries.

You know that guy who has to ask “the wife” before he upgrades the speakers in a car she’ll never drive? It’s him.

It is quite predatory. But even the Bancomer is not that bad.

Worst is Banco Azteca.

Anyway, I think it’s their way of having the all too common in the US dealer surcharges above msrp.

We get 18 year old Chinese and middle eastern kids coming in for and getting new C63's and E63's and such periodically. At least some of them have never driven before (yes, I’ve asked). Them and their parents both have more dollars than sense.

Whenever they come in for service ask them

“Did you carry out the break in procedure?”

Cry when they answer.

most of them don’t even know what an AMG is, just that they sound cool and are expensive. That’s all they care about.

Seems so.

also await and examine the curb-rashed rims that were plasti-dipped in matte black.

So you’re telling me it wasn’t irresponsible to get my M3 at 24?

bob and john > E90M3
02/20/2018 at 14:58

nah dude. if you can swing it and you have the mentality for it, by all fucking means.

I’ll admit, part of this reason is because I lust over a 1000CC sport bike at some point, preferably soon, and i dont want to be a hypocrite. but still.

E90M3 > bob and john
02/20/2018 at 15:01

I mean I had all of those, which is why I got it. It’s also a reason I encouraged OpposResidentLexusGuy to get an IS-F.

The Monaro episodes are my favorites. With the beach challenge and the drifters with Hammond.

Yes, the VXR Monaro used in top gear. There are actually 4 versions of the Pontiac GTO worldwide. The Holden Monaro (plus its HSV variations), the Vauxhall Monaro (plus VXR variations which is just HSV variations), and the Chevy Lumina SS.

I would’ve gotten a Chevy SS if it was sold here!

AfromanGTO > Spanfeller is a twat

I have another GTO and SS. The SS is a great car. I did the Holden conversion on it.

Shame it wasn’t sold here....

On the genesis, did the 3.8 ever give you trouble?

My car has the 3.3 and it’s the same block I think...

AfromanGTO > Spanfeller is a twat
02/20/2018 at 18:37

The 3.8 was a good engine, and I didn’t have any problems with it. It started to feel slightly weaker after 60,000 miles. I removed the second carbon filter next to the air filter, and put a cat back on it. No issues with the engine as long as you changed the oil. I had more issues with the ZF 6 speed auto. It started acting wonky whenever it got hot the last 6 months I had it. When I traded it in; I let it cool down at a gas station nearby for half hour before going to the dealer, and it set for another hour and half in the cold and rain before they test drove it. The car was cold so it wasn’t acting up. The car sold within a day of me trading it in.

Change the oil often... perfect!
mine runs factory twin turbos, so I am quite concerned with the seals because it is quite pressured (literally, turbos run high PSI!)

With your Stinger you should be ok as long as you don’t turn the boost up too much. My buddy had a 2.0T Gen Coupe and he had problems when he changed something out but it turned out to be a loose bolt.

I am not sure how Stingers respond to mods, but I assume they will do fine. They are basically a R spec Genesis sedan with the twin turbo 6.

I only really would bore the engine out a bit more and have more compression. I like compression. But that would be assuming I had the money, time, and proficiency to do it myself without severely damaging the car. Which I do not.

But the turbos are very high strung from factory, I am genuinely worried about that. Some forums say it runs 12 from factory but my gauge goes to an unbelievable 25!
