Bought a brand new C 200 2013 and was not planning to have children any time soon. Fast forward to now and having two kids...
We can fit in the car almost fine. Thing is long trips are not really comfortable and storage room sucks. Planning to upgrade for a larger vehicle but anything around my price limit drives like ass compared to my car. I know I don't have the most luxuries car in the world, But man there is a difference.

If you want the same with more room, there are the T models.
If you are going 1/2/3 years older, then you might also find a nice E class T-model.
I need to take some proper pics still but I bought myself a Toyota 86 GT a couple weeks ago and since it's been mostly beautiful outside lately I'm really loving it. Going from a 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS to a 2018 car is quite a jump. I mean yeah there's plenty of cars with even more features and better screens and such but it's all new to me. The reviews for this car weren't kidding at all , it feels like I'm driving the piss out of it even going 60 clicks. Last summer on the old site I'd asked what people there thought of this car and got mostly positive impressions, I'm not sure how many came to era nor how many have stayed but I felt like sharing anyway. Curious how well I'll cope with winter driving with this thing but winter tires are 100% being purchased in probably about 3 months... and I've got a snow button ! what could go wrong lol
I keep on forgetting to watch that one.
Have you seen this before? He's a good friend of mine.
Very nice and congratulations! I did a similar thing recently going from a 2008 to a 2018 car and you are right, it is a whole new world. It took a couple of weeks just to get acclimated with the tech and safety features as well as learning to use the infotainment properly. Enjoy your 86!
:-D
I shared the wrong video. I think this is close to his fastest pass. 11.6@120
Sleepers are fun. :)
re' this weekend's rally finland
all good so far with one major issue.... fucking time zones! never thought about how most events are so far off of the US time zones to make watching live utterly impractical. Finland is +10 hours! hopefully i can catch up not quite live, but the "re-live" feature for old events is extremely limited, like 3 out of 22 stages can be rewatched. if i cant watch the "all live" content a few hours later, this is an utter bust.
EDIT: aaand just saw a facebook post that wrc is offering 30% off all year subs this weekend. FIN18. please work out, thats a great deal

I hear you, I would find it hard to go back to a FWD car though.
The new civics are very composed outta the box with way less body roll than I expected and a pretty stiff chassis.. No doubt the 86 had better handling, steering, and driving position but then again, its not fair to compare those two directly.
how did this get in my garage, boys
;-)
Wow, that's a nice catch! Grats!
The Brabham BT62 is looking and sounding amazing. Really wish I were at a point in my life to snatch one of these up. Did they ever mention where they sourced the engine from? I have a feeling it's a super customized Ford Aluminator XS / Voodoo / Coyote.
Edit: It is a Ford sourced engine.
Weighs less than 2150lbs
Has 700hp while being Naturally Aspirated.
Here it is running at Goodwood.
I wonder if Brabham will make a road going version of it or actually start making road going cars in general. It would be great to have such a powerful name in motor sports permanently join the super/hyper car giants.

They've hinted at the design having considerations for a road going version down the line, seems like they're just taking things one step at a time for now since they're still small.
Very impressive car, inside and out, though.

Good job. Coupe or roadster?
I need to start diversifying from M but am a creature of habit.
It's a really neat car, I saw one a couple of months back in person and it was quite unique. Mind if I ask your thought process in buying? There's some heavy competition in that space, with the NSX, GTR, Corvette ZR1, Audi R8, right?
Congrats! Had one for a day, fun car to cruise around in. The doors definitely get some attention lolhow did this get in my garage, boys
;-)
Wow, what prompted that change? You went from a dedicated RWD sports car to a sporty FWD hatch. Needed something with a little more space?

Oh wow, congrats! I hear those are amazing. Enjoy it!
Coupe
just really impressed with the look and feel of the vehicle. I've been with BMW for the last 15 years with nothing but good experiences so it felt right. Didn't really look at other brands this time.
Good to see another huge BMW fan. Now we have Destiny and BMW in common.
I have been driving my friends 2017 Civic Si for the past few days since he let me borrow it while my extended family is using my car for the week. I gotta say, I am getting really addicted to this car, it's not like it's a powerhouse or anything but my god it's just sooo much fun.
Strongly considering trading in my 2010 CRV and putting it towards a lease on an Si because it's gonna be haaard going back.

I've been thinking about getting rid of my e92 M3 and getting a Type R. M3 is getting up there in miles (90K) and I haven't done the rod bearings yet.
I say do it, assuming you can pick up a Type R at or near sticker. It's arguably the best performance car on the market at that pricepoint. I've made my peace with the looks and would drive one in a heartbeat if I was in the market.
I have found a couple up in Northern VA at what seems to be sticker price for a 2019. (35K)
It looks like the second gear grind has been eliminated on the 2019 models.

Looks like even the new 911 will take styling cues from the Mission E.
Fire. I need the damn 981 CS to depreciate it more dammit. The release of the 718 fucked my plans up big time.
The mish-mash of horizontal and vertical elements...it doesn't look good. :-/Looks like even the new 911 will take styling cues from the Mission E.

Not a fan of that ass =/
Like most cars it will definitely look better in person. I'm not a big fan of the horizontal light bar that Porsche is doing on all of its models now on the back end but it also is better in person than in pictures. The current 991.2 is already so good that I will be very interested to see what Porsche does with the 992 to make it worth the upgrade. I have it in my mind that a 911 of some sort will be in my garage someday (as a sports car guy and a Porsche fan I feel like it is an ownership experience that has to happen) but I really don't know if it will be a late model or one of the older ones. Either way it is something I will be keeping my eye on.
I pick up my Giulia Ti w/sport package today.
Gorgeous side profile on that, just stunning.
Anyone have any experience on here with a Jeep Grand Cherokee? Thinking of picking up a 2012 with 70k miles.
those wheels go just right with that carI pick up my Giulia Ti w/sport package today.

Beautiful! Best looking sport sedan on the market, in my opinion. I very strongly considered a Giulia Quadrifoglio before I purchased the TTRS. They just have so much more personality than most other sport sedans. Enjoy it!
Not much, no, but condition and maintenance can tell you a lot. Is it from a dealership or private party? Knowing if the scheduled maintenance has been performed on time can tell you if it was taken care of or neglected which would help to inform your decision.

welcome to the alfa club
are we the only ones in this forum who uses alfa's?
Here's the new to me Jeep Grand Cherokee. Fully loaded panoramic sunroof, nav, leather etc. Love it! Had it fully 3rd party inspected and it's all good. 70k miles drives like a dream got it for 15k. Like 4k under kbb. Insanity to me someone would buy this new for like $50k+. I guess if you just have the money to throw around but even if you did you could get the exact same experience for less than 1/4th the price. Completely detailed and it's like it's brand new. And you just eat the most rapid depreciation whereas used it's much slower. Like a 30k plus loss over 5 years vs 5k over 4. Honestly the deal I got I expect it to be at 12-15k value in 4 years.

Pretty. Sounds like you got an amazing deal. I've been eyeing one of these for a while.
Awesome. I like those, and they are pretty nice when loaded.Here's the new to me Jeep Grand Cherokee. Fully loaded panoramic sunroof, nav, leather etc. Love it!

I'm just going to leave this here. You can hate it or like it as you wish, I don't really care what you do with your life TBH
