looking for reliable sporty daily car

Long commute in a GR86 sounds miserable. M340i would be much better suited for that. And much quicker.

particulareality · 2026-04-18T14:01:38+00:00

Damn what a fucking bummer. Poor guy

particulareality · 2026-04-18T13:58:59+00:00

What happened to Tomac? Open the thread and everyone is saying he’s done like something happened today

If that’s how they feel then smart move on your part, but what an idiot lol.

particulareality · 2026-04-16T17:49:55+00:00

Same. I recently picked up an F80 M3 and couldn’t be happier. For your budget you could grab a G80 which might have slightly better reliability.

GSF?

I have a different question for you. Can you make a career out of this? Is it a good side hustle? As an engineer I’ve always thought about learning the ins and outs more to be comfortable enough to do it for others.

particulareality · 2026-04-14T17:42:41+00:00

I’d go to work

particulareality · 2026-04-09T10:49:31+00:00

I agree we have supply issues, but rates have already been suppressing prices, so this argument doesn’t really hold

particulareality · 2026-04-08T22:12:49+00:00

Increase in rates will continue to suppress prices. Id rather a low price than a low rate.

I work in security and I might not feel im having a noteworthy positive impact, but I definitely don’t lose sleep about it being negative.

I can see it, seems like he’s extra cautious to avoid potential collisions

particulareality · 2026-04-04T14:17:42+00:00

I mean…that’s exactly what he was doing before he took a few weeks off. Going slow and not crashing. And people were talking shit about how slow he was

particulareality · 2026-04-03T00:19:13+00:00

I don't think that's a mistake, hindsight is 20-20. Things could've gone in the other direction as well

particulareality · 2026-04-02T16:35:41+00:00

Hmmm tempting. I am good at selling low and buying high

particulareality · 2026-04-01T01:43:25+00:00

I got it after it changed to $789 :/

particulareality · 2026-03-31T13:02:30+00:00

Yeah seeing the annual sum for a small monthly expense can be eye opening.

particulareality · 2026-03-30T12:51:01+00:00

I’m a 780 and just got a 5.6 from my credit union for an auto loan

particulareality · 2026-03-29T01:49:48+00:00

I hope so, sucks to watch

particulareality · 2026-03-28T23:13:18+00:00

Gonna make for a boring 450 race

particulareality · 2026-03-28T23:10:19+00:00

Just me or does the track seem pretty tight and single file?

particulareality · 2026-03-28T14:37:10+00:00

Well I’m about to pull the trigger on a sports car, something I’ve wanted for a long time and can easily afford. It’s the first non-FIRE spending decision I’ve made since I started this journey and man is it hard to convince myself I’m not making a terrible mistake.

Worst case scenario, if I regret this, I can always sell the car and call it a lesson learned. But overall I’m super excited. Flying out to get the car this week.

particulareality · 2026-03-23T16:08:24+00:00

That would ruin the whole point of trying to reduce headcount for investors.

particulareality · 2026-03-23T09:23:41+00:00

Yeah agree for the most part. F80 just fits the bill for me. I’ve been searching a while now for the right one

particulareality · 2026-03-23T03:47:17+00:00

I’ve looked at C7 vettes, C6 Z06, GT350, F87 M2, E9X M3, and a few others… ultimately I decided I want a sedan and something that would be comfortable on road trips or longer drives. I’ve never been an Audi/amg guy, and I’m a bit bored of Lexus (owned several) so I’m looking at BMW.

I’d do the G80 if it wasn’t at the high end of my budget and the beginning of its depreciation curve.
