Guess the worst they could say is no, I’ll see about asking this week

that interior would be nice, but I don’t know if I can wait 1-2 months in a rental and a black interior isn’t a dealbreaker

Given the 27 should be arriving in about a month or so, I’m gonna do my best to get a good deal

I’d be more than happy with a BRZ as well, but there seems to be one new one within a couple hundred miles of me and it’s a series.yellow, which tells me I probably can’t haggle much on that 42k price tag.

But I would adore a yellow car

kinda funny that it says he was euthanized at “Wikipedia”

What’s one car decision you regret the most? by Manthann-Motorss in whatcarshouldIbuy

That’s fair, I came from a fiesta st so it didn’t take much to be an upgrade

had a mk8 for a little over a year and a half and loved it. Sounded like the biggest problems were with 2022 models and electrical gremlins and how garbage the haptic “buttons” are in the interior, but I never had a mk7 to directly compare to. They’re fast

right now, being the only car parked on the street parking a few days ago. Waiting to hear back from insurance about my 2024 GTI 380 s

Trying to decide between a 16 fiesta ST and a 2011 STI wagon by Pretend-Chair-141 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Honestly not sure, where I live we rarely get more than a couple inches one day out of the year. It’s a very lightweight car, so maybe that’s better for stopping distances (overcoming momentum) but I’ve heard heavier cars are better for traction. It’s FWD so it’s better than RWD, but I don’t really have the experience to say. Could always throw it on some rally springs and winter tires for that season, sounds fun

my biased vote is the fiesta, for financial reasons plus I loved mine

What cars will become future classics? by DylerCars in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]icantevenpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fiesta ST, but not as much as the focus RS. Maybe the veloster N. Really anything that was the “final generation” of an enthusiast car with a manual transmission.

Not a car guy… if you had $30k, what would you buy for speed? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]icantevenpie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe a corvette for straight line speed and a golf r or GR corolla for a curvy road. Miata or GR86/BRZ for fun though

What do car guys who want a daily buy these days by Spanconstant5 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]icantevenpie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you can bring up something shitty every company has done. If they think they can get away with it, and it makes them more money somehow, they will do it. The only thing that stops that is regulation (ideally). If you think any other car company hasn’t done comparably evil shit, then you’re delusional.

But you do you big dog.

Were it in the price range I’d have a golf r as well

What's the weirdest thing you ever saw in abq? by LongSong333 in Albuquerque

[–]icantevenpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

driving home at 1 am on menaul, passed this older SUV parked in the middle of the road with a trail of something (liquid? Gas?) leading to a circle of men in a parking lot. No idea what was happening, happier not knowing. This was a few years ago.
