Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

Just drove a Tundra, 4Runner & an Escalade. Thought maybe a $15k get my by could stretch/delay the inevitable. Not so amusingly the craptastic GM drove BY FAR the best of the lot. The Tundra is a fucking boat. Thought it would at least feel Japanese, but nope.

  

The TRD 5.7 Supercharger though is appealing...otherwise I wouldn't have gone. Since I was there I thought wth I'll tool a 4runner as they can be had cheap. Poop.

Might handle a shit ton better with a rear sway bar added on.

I want the supercharger and sway bar for mine. The bar will come after christmas, supercharger some point in the future.

Top: Halo Triton with variable voltage battery.

 

Middle: Halo G6 with mini tank.

 

Bottom; Halo G6 with standard cartomizer. It is about the same size as a regular 100 cigarette.

 

The big ass Triton is getting a special dabs globe. It is actually really nice compared to the e-cigs. The flavor is so much more full and unhindered. I was rather surprised, actually. I was surprised to find out how just changing the voltage of the battery (on the Triton) affects the flavor of the vapor. You can turn it up too far, so it takes a little playing, but it is fucking badass.

So you quit or it's too early to tell?

 

I still have urges, but it is not terribly bad. I have not had a cig in 11 days. That isn't bad considering I smoked just shy of 2 packs a day.

Handles WAY worse than the Cadillac which shocked me completely. I figured it'd be an upgrade across the board. Sway bar is not the problem either. Calibration and ride height of the suspension are.

Of course car shopping got me into trailer shopping and that sucks too. Enclosed and < 83" isn't so easy.

Buy a Porsche already. You keep looking for a truck that handles like a car or a car with the utility of truck. You are going to have to compromise somewhere. Just buy a Panamera and a cheap truck to tow with. Problem solved.

Nope, too cheap for the Panamera. Can't find one for less than $80k. sad.png Two vehicles means one outside or I build another garage stall....which if I were staying here isn't out of hte question.

This is interesting:

Oh come on Ryan...  Sean only wants a race car that holds car seats and a tow rating of 10,000 lbs.  :P

I actually am to the point where I sort of just want this done.

At this point there is an 80% chance the Porsche is off the list.

That would change if one would pop up in the right price range that was meticulous, but I've seen shit.

Well that sucks that you can't find anything.  You will once you buy a Cadillac though.

Of course. That speaks to Infiniti as I can give it to my wife.

I think you are gonna grit your teeth and buy the Japanese vehicle and be happily surprised you don't hate it, or you will harden your soul and bear through it knowing next time you might get whatcha want.

Or a mint CPO CCT in the style you like will show up at the buzzer.

CPO CTT doesn't work since I can't afford newer than 08

The 70 year old mother of the area manager I am standing in for just picked up one of those Infinitys.

She took her old one in for a full service, and just decided to trade it in.
