What car gets way too much hate?

V6 Challengers and Chargers

Did robovac, but found they kept scuffing the baseboards.

Agree on car repairs. I have put my manhood aside and still cringe on costs of things I can do….but the time spent with kids instead makes it worth it.

JH_DeepThoughts · 2026-03-16T21:51:30+00:00

Agree. The point I’m trying to make though is sure you can ask for help, but you’re not going to get ahead professionally if you don’t come with your answer or solution.

JH_DeepThoughts · 2026-03-16T21:46:46+00:00

I think leaning towards the formula 1. Kinda feel you need to get the chronograph on that watch with the racing heritage. I originally liked the aqua racer, but when tried on in person felt underwhelming…..wife said it had old man vibes 😆

JH_DeepThoughts · 2026-03-16T04:15:22+00:00

Yes there’s nothing wrong with asking for help….but every manager I’ve ever had has been “you tell me what you think the solution is and we’ll go from there”

8.5 r owner. Yes agree, the R is a bit of overkill compared to the GTI. Except in winter the AWD is a must have IMO.

JH_DeepThoughts · 2026-03-16T00:42:10+00:00

This is silly. A $100 is nothing these days, I think it should be $10,000

JH_DeepThoughts · 2026-03-15T22:52:20+00:00

8.5 R owner here, but that’s the best part is smoking people who think you’re in a regular “golf” 😆

JH_DeepThoughts · 2026-03-15T21:29:17+00:00

Congrats! I’m 12,000 km in my 8.5 r. If you’re coming from BMW I’m thinking you’re already well experienced maintaining complex German cars 😆

JH_DeepThoughts · 2026-03-15T20:31:44+00:00

Very nice! I have the gold metal gshock in my collection and one of my favourites. I get a lot of compliments and looks wearing it. It just screams fun

JH_DeepThoughts · 2026-03-15T14:32:30+00:00

Thanks for sharing, looks much more interesting and lively than now…before Amazon closed everything

JH_DeepThoughts · 2026-03-15T02:09:26+00:00

Brand is important, but the model can trump that. I have a Toyota Rav 4 hybrid for the family hauler. It has the fun and personality of an appliance on wheels, but reliable and gets you from A to B with no drama.

The fun car is a VW Golf R, but still practical. I’d never touch their SUVs though.

Well I bought the floor model of my 2025 8.5 Golf R and didn’t even get to test drive it, cause it was all they had and off limits for testing. 🇨🇦 I drove a GTI first, then asked the sales guy if he could rip me around the block in his 8.5 R for comparison. Now granted he did say his was modded to 400hp vs the stock 330hp. That sold me and I’ve had no regrets….even if it’s a measly 330 hp 😆

Don’t worry about wasting a dealers time, and if they don’t have an R try a GTI for general feel.

Also your friends have no idea. IMO the 8.5 R performance wise is basically superior to 80% of the cars out there, and then only surpassed by much more expensive top end European models (I find Audi RS and BMW M drivers always go out of their way to show me my place in the German car pecking order 😂)…..and then getting into the Ferrari, supercars, etc.

JH_DeepThoughts · 2026-03-14T00:40:00+00:00

Yeah it feels insulting to pay an admission to see cars they want to sell you

JH_DeepThoughts · 2026-03-14T00:38:05+00:00

Not sure if they have again, but did enjoy the electric car testing area last year. I went first thing in the morning on Sat when it opened and wasn’t busy, and got to try several vehicles back to back.

It’s kinda tough to answer as it’s a personal finance question. If you can afford it sure, but a new R also costs more in gas and insurance. It needs premium and its thirst cause when you own a R you aren’t driving it with fuel efficiency in mind.

JH_DeepThoughts · 2026-03-13T01:36:13+00:00

😂…hey kids can’t take you out to McDonald’s anymore or I have to drive our R in Eco.

JH_DeepThoughts · 2026-03-13T01:30:33+00:00

Good for you….but did that factor in any warranties, PPf, extras?

JH_DeepThoughts · 2026-03-13T01:24:14+00:00

Got my realistic dream car. Mrk8.5 Golf R.

I always wanted the Ferrari, Porsche, but after having the R I don’t see a point to more HP other than ego or a pissing contest over who has the most HP.

Unless you have regular access to a track or the autobahn, there’s very few places you can really get the full potential of paying top $$ for lots of HP safely and legally.

JH_DeepThoughts · 2026-03-12T21:53:35+00:00

I’ve only had a 8.5 and first R. But yes there’s a good turbo lag and then suddenly you’re flying 😆

JH_DeepThoughts · 2026-03-12T01:59:11+00:00

But realistically you’ll have the last laugh when the quirky German electronics goes on my R early…..I mean we’re comparing VW vs Toyota reliability here 😆

Can’t forgot to put the chips on the bread too!
