I was told you people like explanations for the "-1" otherwise you get all pissy. Explanation: You're being a douche.

Hahaha well it will only be to the douchy posts..and once a day..tops..because a douche bitched and wined about it because his internet feelings got hurted...from a little "-1".

While it is a clear valid point, a better discussion can be had if one is to explain their thinking and who knows, maybe you will want to change from a down to an up vote based on the debate. Both have their point, I just like to better understand why people are thinking the way they do. My downvote explanations will all be the same though.. -1 "Because you're acting like a douche" I'm not sure how much discussion that will bring..lol

Made my own gun stand this past weekend. It isn't finished yet as I haven't taped or zip tied the foam down and I'd like to spray paint it just do you don't see all of the writing on the pipe. It's definitely a little long and I might cut it down some but it worked this past weekend great.

I genuinely feel bad for Mazda because they really are the best car that nobody's buying. Heck, I would have been in a CX-5 if the ones that were in my price range weren't the first gen with only the 155hp engine. I won't put myself in a 155hp cuv..no way. Yeah, the 5 isn't on their website as of now.

You get 5 fiesta 1.0T's. No, worse. 5 Focus 1.0T's. Enjoy.

Call me old school ccap, but I'd rather just tell em that.... lol I'd like to but I feel like that's more likely to result in a reprimand... Plus, it really rustles feathers when they receive a little red -1. Maybe I'll try your system and see how it works out. lol

Seriously? Where'd you read that? If so, absolutely bs.

I know the REAL AMGs are a completely reworked car, which is why I think slapping an AMG badge on an E550 with a sport package is a joke. I LOVE the AMG cars MB puts out. I've been a huge fan for quite awhile but I don't like abusing the brand image that the true AMG cars have built up.

But they put the damn AMG name on the title to a car that clearly isn't an AMG if it is just an E550 with a sport package. E550 + sport package = AMG now?

It is a brand correct? That brand once stood for something, correct? People see that brand and knew it had a meaning, correct? It was a symbol that meant something. Now, it means less because it is on lesser and lesser cars. They are inferior to the real AMG's though. Just like the bull$h! M-Sport crap. (see even this having to say "real AMGs" is ridiculous in my mind.) AMG and M once stood for the pinnacle of 4 door sedans and SUVs, yes, coupes as well. And within reason..let's be honest..we're not talking about 200,000 sedans unless you're talking about the S65 but that's just kind of it's own thing. Now, AMG is just a really quick "X" Class but not special. Also, the M and RS(Audi) at least haven't watered down their brands by putting it in the vehicle's title. You might buy some S-Line or M Sport package but at least it isn't in the name of the vehicle. I think that's what irks me the most and makes it feel watered down with "average".

Yeah it was still an E550 with an AMG Sport box to check. Now it will be an E43 AMG..minus the real AMG touches. It's essentially a Faux AMG. Sweet. Exactly what the badge snobs ordered, more expensive badges. Same underlying car? Like the same platform? AMG has an infinite number of models now that they are willing to slap a badge on everything that comes off the line. Who cares if it has a hand built engine and specifically tuned suspension and more torque than a freight train, throw a badge on it! You get an AMG! You get an AMG! You get an AMG! EVERYBODY GETS AMGs!!

I know this is a Model 3 thread but while reading on the Model X this little paragraph stood out to me, "We’ll stop right there for a second. Zero to 60 in 3.2 seconds makes this not only the fastest SUV we’ve ever tested but also puts the Model X in some pretty serious company. It’s 0.2 second quicker than a Ferrari Enzo to 60 mph. Any questions?" http://www.motortrend.com/news/2016-tesla-model-x-p90d-ludicrous-first-test-review/

Toys first. AMG GT: 4.0 Turbo 911 Turbo S: 3.8 Turbo(This is the first time I've considered a convertible.. I'm not sure if I'd go coupe or 'vert.) GT: 3.5 Turbo ATS-V Sedan: X5d: 3.0 Turbo diesel

^ That's a good idea. It actually gets some commitment and the best sample of who's actually willing to buy. What's Tesla giving?

Well, once I looked around it wasn't too tough at all to make a switch. First I saw the A7 was well within the price range and with every option I wanted it was just a tick under 83k(I would have had to change something but not a big deal). Then I thought..hey if the A7 is within price I bet the CLS is also..I wonder which car makes more power for under 83k??? CLS. V8. 333hp V6 vs 402hp V8 So I built one and it's less than $100 over the $82,265. Mine was $82,360. I'll walk past the car and scratch the paint somewhere to work out a $100 savings. lol CLS550 Blue paint, dark brown interior Entertainment & Convenience$4,200 Key Standard Features 14-way power front seats with memory Heated front seats harman/kardon LOGIC7® sound system with Dolby® Digital 5.1 Central controller and 8-inch freestanding display COMAND navigation No-charge navigation map updates for 3 years Bluetooth audio streaming SiriusXM Radio with 6-month All Access trial SiriusXM Traffic and Weather with 5 years of service Hands-free Bluetooth interface Multicolor ambient lighting Options Premium Package MULTIBEAM active full-LED headlamps Adaptive Highbeam Assist Ventilated front seats Rearview camera KEYLESS-GO Electronic trunk closer Power-folding side mirrors Power rear-window sunshade $4,200 Performance & Safety$2,800 Key Standard Features 4.7L biturbo V-8 engine ECO Start/Stop system 9-speed automatic transmission with shift paddles AIRMATIC® adaptive air suspension COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS ATTENTION ASSIST PRE-SAFE® Options Driver Assistance Package DISTRONIC PLUS® with Steering Assist BAS® PLUS with Cross-Traffic Assist PRE-SAFE® Brake with Pedestrian Recognition PRE-SAFE PLUS Active Blind Spot Assist Active Lane Keeping Assist This color and these wheels.

I have a friend of mine who graduated a few years ago with an engineering degree and has been rocking an older WRX and is deciding between a Model 3 or a Focus RS as his next car. He's about to be one of those 276,000 as of the other day. Not sure where he stands right now but I know I'd love to be the one making that decision. Model 3/RS..hmmm...

lol there aren't too many modern 7.0+ engines.. CAFE.. I really like the 7.3 Ford Diesel idea. Nice choice!

It is a very good looking car as-in.. I'll have to search around some but the Jag looks like a good choice this time. Most of these it's easy to go away from the "starter" vehicle. This one.. not as easy.

Cadillac has 3 VSports and 2 Vs (IIRC). Mercedes is going to have FORTY-EIGHT AMGs. Do you REALLY not see any difference? Well MB also has like ten thousand more vehicles than Cadillac so the % is probably about the same lol. Actually, it probably is if you "level off" by using the sprinters and work vehicles under the Mercedes name.

I'm not a fan of it. AMG models used to be known for their and built engines and signed by said builder and their bonkers amount of torque sent rearward..now AMG means waaaay less in my eyes. With this move they aren't that same brand they used to be. No more bonkers amount of power, no hand built engines, just three useless letters on cars not deserving of them. Yes it's a good financial and Mercedes brand move(not a good AMG brand move) but I don't think it is the greatest long-term decision as I think it will devalue the "real" AMGs from here on out. It might only be a small percentage but I think from here on out unless it is a AMG GT or S63/5 I think it'll bring down the overall value to the E63, C63, CLA45...and so on.

Ford conned 390 people this past month?? (look for the number and you'll understand)

I know this isn't directly related but... are these seriously this cheap used?!?!? http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?zip=62249&endYear=2017&vehicleStyleCodes=HYBEL&modelCode1=FOCUS&sortBy=derivedpriceASC&showcaseOwnerId=3251723&makeCode1=FORD&startYear=1981&firstRecord=0&searchRadius=0&showcaseListingId=418524756&mmt=%5BFORD%5BFOCUS%5B%5D%5D%5B%5D%5D&listingId=423315771&Log=0

I forget Mitsubishi still sells cars here in the US..

I wish I could afford a brand spankin new truck.
