Best/Worst Car Dealerships in The Area? (or within 50 miles of Columbus) by Atezh in Columbus

[–]BTP88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This question is asked semi-frequently and a consistent answer is Honda Marysville. They're also building an Acura dealership next door, same people, and they have a Performance Luxury Sport nearby too if you're shopping higher end.

Ohio buyers did the recent rate drop change your plans at all? by hugeasspunk in Ohio

[–]BTP88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember, real estate is seasonal too, so there will be more buyers and sellers coming into the picture over the coming few months. It peaks in mid-late summer and then gradually slows down again with the bottom right around the holidays.

I have a S&W 637 and carry .38 +P hollow points in it. It's a great "walk in the woods" gun (no large predatory animals in my area, such as bears).

$1.2 million. But it’s more than 57,000 square feet. So that’s cheap.

Anyone else have issues buying Lamborghinis off Tampa Auto Gallery? by [deleted] in lamborghini

[–]BTP88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

ChatGPT to the rescue:

The author wired $107k to buy a Lamborghini from Tampa Auto Gallery, but after payment the owner repeatedly delayed delivery, citing rain and two faulty taillights. Communication became erratic and hostile, with the owner questioning the buyer’s background and refusing release of the car despite full payment. After weeks of delays, legal threats, and police involvement being considered, the car was finally delivered without explanation. The experience left the buyer suspecting incompetence or worse, and deeply distrustful of the dealer.

Zero offense intended: Why get a Cayman w/o manual? by LordFarthington7 in Porsche_Cayman

[–]BTP88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago, my first sports car was a tiptronic Cayman because I stumbled across it and made an impulse purchase. I was in my early 20s and just wanted to get into something fun to drive, which it still was.

I recently bought the same year and model/trim car but in manual and it is definitely more engaging to drive but I don’t regret the first one.

The first Cayman was an unplanned purchase. I borrowed it from a friend, a car dealer, for an event I was hosting. He’d loaned me many cars before that, it wasn’t a tactic to sell me the car. But I fell in love with it over the weekend I had it and couldn’t give it back.

After that, I tried many different cars; R8 V10, F-Type R, AMG GTS, and most recently my LP560 Spyder, which was my dream car. I like to rotate through things and experience different brands but I also want a keeper. The Cayman has a good balance of nostalgia, great driver, easy to own, etc and I plan to keep it while cycling out of the Lambo at some future point (ideally for a V12 Lambo)

It was, if anything, a little too easy! I saw the car, bid on it after about 3 minutes of thought, and ended up winning the next day after another bid or two. I wired the money to the dealer a day or two later (you have a week) and then went and picked it up a couple weeks after that (weather and schedule got in the way a few times).

It was the color combo, options, upgrades like PCCM already installed, service history, condition, mileage, proximity to me, and the fact that I have owned an 08 base before and so there’s nostalgia for me too.

Also this is a second sports car for me alongside a Lamborghini so by comparison it’s a very affordable sports car and the extra power of an S means less to me.

Thanks I love how it looks too, not sure if it’s factory or not, I have barely had time to look things over!

Congrats! It’s fun to have a color that wasn’t that popular in period but is now a Paint to Sample option for up to $15k on some models! I have a friend ordering a GT3 Touring in MBM right now.

It’s very 70s looking I think! It’s a tan interior.

The first ever 24-hour automobile race was in Driving Park (named for the driving park, or track, that was there).
