With 103K and my current cars- I'd trade my wife's Rav4 in on a new Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and pay if off- that uses 50K. So I now have 53K left. I'd take 3K of that and buy wheels for my GTI, and do Eurodyne tune. Down to 50K. I'd take 8K of that and buy a new Ducati Scrambler Icon. With the remainder, I'd buy the nicest, lowest mile 997 C2S 6MT Coupe I could find. So- 53K, Idk. Prolly do the same thing with the Grand Cherokee, and trade my GTI in on a new R.

I have nothing good to say about any of those choices. Not sure what you're looking to spend, but on the new side, I'd recommend the Mazda CX-5 or Subaru Forester. Maybe check the new Jeep Compass coming out?
-
I hate to add to the questions, but I'm assuming these are our only cars? Like, we have 0 vehicles before spending the cash?

Chevrolet News:Callaway's AeroWagon, Now In the Flesh
Frisky Dingo replied to William Maley's topic in Chevrolet
That is ugly as fuck. -
That gen uses the sweet 3.0 supercharged V6. My wife has wanted one for a few years now, but values have recently come down greatly.
-
B8 S4 values fell through the floor! Hmmmm......
-
There should be. I doubt the driver cared enough to bother looking for it.

MB's system is full-time afaik.

So where do you draw the line?? How do you help them, exactly? You try to set up a democratic government, and you're accused of forcing your system on other nations. You arm rebel groups, and they fall into the wrong hands, or they're later used against you by those same people. The Middle East is the birthplace of civilization and a hots pot for religious fanaticism. They have been at war for millenia, and they will have fighting until the end of the human race. At some point, you have to consider it a lost cause and wash your hands of it. Pull out, stop funding, stop arming, stop sleeping with the Saudis and Isrealis. Get out and stay out. The problem will solve itself, or it won't.

I put on my dress clothes, I go to work, and I contribute to society. I give clothes and donations to foundations and organizations to help the needy. I give money to homeless people when I can. I donate to school programs to help children in families that have trouble buying supplies. I help people when I can. I used to volunteer for Big Brother/Big Sisters. I buy from local businesses as much as I can. I pull my weight. But I don't subscribe to the idea that we're just supposed to welcome anyone who wants to here with open arms and give them assistance while we let fellow Americans struggle and prevent them from being able to obtain the 'American Dream' these people from other nations come for in the first place. If you just let yourself be overrun by immigrants, it devolves into a bad situation for everyone involved. It's stupid. We need to cease all operations in the Middle East and let them sort it out. And if I see someone burning a flag, I'm punching them in the fuck ing face. And if someone is standing in the road preventing me from getting where I need to go, I'm running their ass over. You're right to an extent, a lot of people are wussies. They're too worried about being politically correct and hurting somebody's feelings. I have no tolerance for such individuals. They are a cancer.

Says to stop the name calling. Calls Americans wussies. More sound logic.
-
So we're supposed to just everyone come here until we face the same problems that they fled their home country because of??? Pretty sound logic there.

Don't be absurd. Of course I don't find that funny. I don't know any reasonable person even amongst Trump supporters who would find that funny. What IS funny is the liberal pansies who are in an uproar over everything and cry like little petulant children. If they took a fraction of the effort they put into making signs, burning flags, standing in roadways, breaking windows, inciting non-peaceful protests, and being insufferable little pu$$ies towards anyone who doesn't agree with them 100%, and redirected that towards actually doing shit to better things, they might actually get the progress they want. But it's a whole lot easier to just bitch and moan about things instead of taking meaningful action. It's comical, and the irony is just rich. As for the immigration thing, people who have been in the country for extended periods of time and are productive members of society should be allowed to stay here. Beyond that, there needs to be extremely extensive vetting for anyone wanting to come here. And if you're a lone military-aged male, I have trouble making a case for you. Instead of running from their country's problems, they need to be fighting for them. It's not America's place to just take anyone in who wants to live here when we have our problems that need solving. Our schools, veterans, crumbling infrastructure, defense programs, etc are all much higher priority than bringing in thousands of people from overseas and giving them welcome packages and benefits. Sorry, but them's the breaks.

Current Equinox--anyone have experience with one?
Frisky Dingo replied to Robert Hall's topic in The Lounge
You can't even get dual-zone climate in them. Or rear seat vents. It's a joke. -
They aren't teammates. Two different teams. But I still don't think it was deliberate. It was ultimately the #5 that turned into him. Also, I don't believe there are any other 24hr races in the Weathertech Series. I would like to see Gordon do more sports car racing, though. As for GTLM, I think you're right. Pilet pushed to get around the GT so hard his tires fell off. He probably should have waited for an opportunity with traffic. But, he went for broke, so I give it to him for that. Can't wait for the rest of this year's endurance races.

This. Virtually every CUV out there is better. The gap between it and the best of the segment is a gulf. And I didn't say they were all the same. I said they all sucked. -
Yeah, because Autocar is such a reliable source.

I was hoping Taylor wouldn't catch a penalty. Not because I was particularly rooting for him- though that team did deserve it, and I like Jeff Gordon- but because I fell like it was a fair move. The #5 left an opening that #10 went for. Then he closed the door to defend with 1/3 of the other car inside already. Just as much his fault. That's racing. Was really hoping Pillet in the works 911 would get by the GT for the GTLM win, but at least he held off the Ferrari. Prototype Challenge was a shit show. That class is a joke.

Watched several hours of it, including start and finish. Great race. The end was racing at it's best.

Mediocre ride. Lifeless, overboosted, non-linear steering. Ponderous handling. Lots of body movement. Poor acceleration in I4 form. Along with thrashy feel and sound. Idles like a diesel. Wheel/tire combo doesn't matter. I've literally driven them all. Early ones, late ones, I4 ones, V6 ones, LS ones, LTZ ones, Denali ones, 17" ones, 20" ones. They all suck. -
