Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Still don't understand why the interiors are so shitty in so many cars.

Ford used to do exceptional work on a budget. Wonderful looking and to use for the cost. If they used finer materials they would have whooped ass on the german equivalents.

My expy with the EB but wrapped in leather and stitched like a pro. Omg sexy. It would basically be a current Massaratti. (Sp) Maybe even better if they used really nice materials. When I get into a new audi and am impressed with the interior I always get a hint of late 90s ford.

Ralph Guilles said that it only costs ~15 bucks more to do the interior on a Ferrari vs their other vehicles.

Not tooooooo surprised. Unless it is some unique leather. I actually think Ferrari has goofy interior. Maybe if I raced a track I would like it more.

Lambo, Audi, Masarati, and to a lesser degree the AMG benz, specifically the big ones, and the some of the BMWs.

Porsche and Bimmer are so similar in their interiors to me. Either they fucking NAIL it, or its a complete fucking zoo. Sometimes I feel like they phoned it in.

VW has also done a great job on a smaller budget. Early 2000's they were pretty solid.

I actually liked the GTS just as much as the turbo or turbo S I drove....

Maybe it was the price difference and the cool sporty yet leathery interior or the GTS and a manny tranny.

New one isn't affordable. Pricing is pissing me off.

I know it isn't on your list now, I more meant could you give a comparison? I habe never been in or test drove the ML 63

ML dances on the GTS face. WAY faster. Feels as potent in the corners although sloppier and not as car like. Interior is nicer in the Pcar IMO.

And then you get in a 2007 Explorer and get sick to your stomach.

I have a hard time looking at any car with a non-leather dash.

I was going to get a GTS until the AMG came around.

I know a guy that knows a guy with a 2000 vette for sale

Can it tow a 6800lb boat?

[///M5 2,833]

And does it have 66mm of Xmax?

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

Gots a uhaul class one hitch. Magnetic ride adjustable shocks for the xmax and magnesium wheels for extra brake cooling.

I hate modern vettes. Maybe if I got familiar it would really blow my hair back, but I really hate the interior.

Interesting! I would have guessed faster. When I test drove the GTS the dealer guy said he sold one to a guy who takes it around Tonka on sled trails looking to fuck with people.

S klasse with a hitch on it.

Idk how much if could tow though.

And  you haven't seen my driveway

[S.DeYoung 968]

nice slope to it?

[topgun 262]

Its a very special driveway.

phone's battery doesn't want to keep a charge so I got a burner phone for half the price of a new battery

 

gotta love SIM cards

Yep, when we used to order pizza every other time in the winter I 'got' to dig the dumb fuck out. My wives friends are notorious for putting their fwd cars into the snowbank trying to go up. Help, I'm slipping and spinning. I'll keep it pinned and let the torque steer throw me into the snow. Ugh.

My neighbors shit when I come barreling in with the snowmobile trailer at 20mph.

My scooter made it!

I buy Chinese batteries most of the time. I actually keep my phone insured though. 4-5 bucks a month protects a fucking 600-800 dollar device. And has a stolen rate of $150 or so.

Love it.

I wish I had this when I went through phones every 6 months.

[dem beats 1,223]

Shortest I ever had a phone was < a weekend.

Got an SDA on Thursday or something like that. Then got an MDA the on Monday or whenever it dropped.

[///M5 2,833]

Ugh. Seriously hate car shopping. It's ruining my week literally.

Really wish Ford would have put a mod in the new X.

If I shop with my interior perspective so far only ze Germans win. Then I include my pocketbook and compromise. I really don't want a Jeep.

Convinced myself I could live with another GM beast and then drove the Escalade. No push button start, no telescoping wheel, shitty seats, NO headroom. I don't really want something that big though, but getting >450hp in a smaller truck isn't really easy. Aargh.

[///M5 2,833]

Back to where I started I think:

X6

X5M

SRT8 JGC

Pooptastic, waste of a good week of work to I've been so distracted.

[///M5 2,833]

If the Lincoln/Ford had the aftermarket bolt on offering of the GMT900 or GMT360 trucks it'd be a different story. Still going to drive the Saab, but my expectations are that a chassis from 2001 no matter the wrapping won't do me right.
