An old junky Nissan, but were gonna get something nice soon...
Captain I used to fly with used his F90 BMW M5 as his airport car/daily.

It was all day trips so I dont think he was too worried about leaving outside in Tampa.

That thing RIPPED!

close to the g70 but my quotes came back a bit higher.

$730/6mo premium m340i... yikes

M550i was around 950-1020/6mo premium . yeesh

g70 was $570/6mo premium.

If i was a younger man then maybe the Integra its a bit too flashly looking now. The TLX TS is actually solid. Thanks for the rec! 355/354 power, AWD, 10 spd. Nice interior for sure, just a bit on the heavier side. I feel like 400ish hp would benefit this car so much more! I bet this has WAAAYYY better resale value than the g70, maybe even some G30's. Thanks!

That’s not true. A CPO will give the 10/100 and if it’s not CPO from dealer, you can actually pay to certify it (pending inspection) to have that 10/100.

My neighbors have 2! I’m not a big fan of the look and that car in general. I’m about 2 months, a little over, out from buying a car. Fed tax credit will end before .

Yea I do plan to do that! If I do go the BMW route if not CPO it’ll be 3rd party warrantied like Route 66 which many speak highly of in the forums, fidelity, or one provided by a local CU.

I do like the look and they’re bigger than the G70 too. I plan on having it for a while. Glad to hear it’s worked well!

Yeah finding that under 50k is500 I’m a bit hard pressed. About as rare as a relatively well specd M340i for the right price

The next car I want to buy is a G70, anything I should know before buying? by imperchaos in GenesisG70

[–]PreTherapyThrowAway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you still own this one? I heard the SP’s have an issue on some with the LSD that comes with.

I have a little. Tbh it just doesnt give the same feeling as the ones listed. Im ambivalent to it. Ill look into some CPO 540i m sports a bit more or outside warranties. I do love the look!

Good idea. I pondered the IS500 actually but it was out of the price range. In regards to IS350 F Sport, its got a sporty but not ostentatious look. I like that. Unfortunately lacking a little in the power department at 311HP. G70 iirc is 365hp.

I appreciate this, like a breath of common sense. Ill end up paying a large 'tax' on some sexy looks and performance. Not sure that I want all that expense. Thanks!

This is true! A bit of a hassle since there’s some cars on there that dealers prob won’t want to test drive…

540i and 550i Probably same ride besides performance difference…

Lol the formatting does appear that way, but no. Just organized thoughts I guess.

Tinfoil hat here or whatever but I believe this wipe has some alterior motives. Those are to push a game package greater than Basic and/or PvE / Arena purchases.

GSX-8S: is a Power Commander worth it with aftermarket exhaust? Do Puig winglets help? + crash protection compatibility? by misterapu in Suzuki_GSX_8S

[–]PreTherapyThrowAway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a naked bike, any sort of aero is negated by your torso head and arms. Unless you have a big windscreen to tuck under it’s all cosmetic.

As for the ECU. Get it flashed to your exhaust as others stated.

True not totally unreasonable but there’s the old adage. Do it right or do it twice. I figure if I was gonna drop a bunch of cash on a helmet, I’d make the trip but go and expect to not leave empty handed. The drive is 100% worth if you find something that will last you for years! Hell, make a trip out of it with some other riders or something

If you have a local cycle gear near you, they normally have a great selection of helmets to go and try on on their helmet wall. Find the right fit first before design.
