..8:30pm Pacific.. Awesome.. 10:30pm my time.

When is this dang Model 3 supposed to be shown off today?!?!

lol I'm just running behind... Also, I've noticed most dream cars are sub 7.0 liters..I mean I could have 5 supercars or race cars..Not exactly sure what I'd drive daily.

Yeah even from the beginning I always thought the Enzo was kind of on the ugly side, especially considering the price and ability. Even though the Aventador is probably the superior car in every regard I just can't get on board with Lambos. Fantastic cars. I just don't like the image. The little bit of ugly for functionality of the Enzo is kind of cool in my opinion. The insane front overhang is just ridiculous lol.

This one is easy for me.. Always been a Ferrari fan and hate the "stereotypes" around Lamborghini(rappers, athletes, less actual "car guys/girls").

What about everything else? C Class? CLK? S? SL? ML? GL? GLK? CLS? And all of the wagon and coupe variations that go with all of those.. have those all only grown 4 inches in 25 years? I would wager good money that isn't the case.. ML/GLE(whatever you want to refer to it as): 1997: 180.6 inches long 2016: 189.1 inches long GLK/GLC 2009(first year it was made): 178.2 inches long 2016: 183.3 inches long

*Except the S Class which is god*

But how big do these cars get? Does a CTS or CT5 become the size of a Chrysler 300? Does the ATS become the size of Infiniti Q50 or Acura TLX? BMW is just as guilty, they have had some bad size creep on the 3 and 5-series as of late. I don't get the notion of forcing low end cars up market such as was done with CTS. Making the car bigger could hurt sales, not help. Even Chevy and Ford are doing it. The Cruze is way bigger than a Cobalt was, the Malibu has grown, pretty soon the Impala will be pushed out. Ford is making the Focus larger, the Fusion longer, killing the Taurus. These brands are killing the nameplates of their larger, more profitable vehicles to push low end models up. In Chevy's example, they shoudl drop the Spark name plate, make the subcompact the Sonic, what is currently the Sonic becomes the Cruze, the Cruze becomes Malibu and the current Malibu/Impala merge into one car that is an Accord/Camry fighter. This lets Chevy sella $17,000 Malibu which seems like incredible value, but really it is the same car a $16,000 Cruze would be, yet GM pockets $1,000. Mercedes does the exact same thing. They pushed up the C Class to be able put out the sub $30k CLA for example. As a matter of fact, all companies do this. I hate this but it's so true. I think the best example is the Honda Civic. It isn't a compact car in my eyes any more. The Malibu has grown so much since 2000, C Class, 3 Series, all half ton trucks, Mid-size trucks.. everything. There are only a couple cars that come to mind that haven't blown up and that's the '16 Camaro and Miata. The Mustang is huge compared to the 99-04 gen that I've owned. Those had useless back seats, if either driver or passenger were larger than myself at 5'8" 180lbs then only one person gets the arm rest in the middle..the bigger guy..

" But the ratings above don’t paint the entire picture. IIHS is scoring every possible headlight combination that is available on the cars, so different trims of the same car can vary widely in lighting performance. While the Prius v comes available with different headlight options, it specifically earns a “Good” rating when equipped with LED lights and high beam assist. To get this equipment, drivers must opt for the advanced tech package. When equipped with regular halogen lights and no high beam assist, the Prius v actually gets a “Poor” rating. " This is what I was wondering as I started reading. My Escape is an example of this. The base model has your standard halogen bulbs and then option up to the HIDs with the cornering lights that come on as you turn the steering wheel. I'm glad it is actually acknowledged that cars come with different lighting packages as you option them up so just saying "Prius" scored the highest is vague and not telling of the full story.

Just looked it up because I was curious... The SVR can tow up to 6614lbs. I think that would be adequate for anything I'd need, like hauling any of the 3 toys, just not all at once! After checking out the Sierra Denali with the 5.3's towing capabilities While definitely lower in the SVR after lowding the Denali to the gills it would be right around 9000lbs towing for itself. Significant difference but both will do the job I'd ask of them. I's just prefer another toy over another family-hauler-sized vehicle... considering I don't have kids.

Not referring to you. There are some who don't even post here anymore that just pop in to see what they can down vote and then they are gone. No comments, no posts, no contributions to this site whatsoever other than to troll posts of people they don't like. They use that one down vote for the day and POOF, they are gone again. That is what I am talking about. Seriously..? See that would grab one of my "you're a douche" votes. lol I don't understand how you could have that much anger/hatred towards somebody via the internet ALONE. Never met, Never heard each other's voices, don't even know what they look like, yet there is that much hatred. Blows my mind. Good lord man. Stop overdramatizing what I am talking about. It's a simple observation of what the trolls around here were doing. You and I both know that is what has been going on in some of these cases. I am not being a douche at all and if you think that is "you're being a douche" vote then the problem is with you and your perceptions. In this case, your perception about me is wrong here. Again, there is no anger, no hatred. It is an observation that can actually be backed up with facts (this has been discussed before). I'm just tired of the children. If you confusing that with hatred or anger, then I don't know what else to tell you. Don't vote all you want if you continue to feel something about me that isn't there. That's all I'm going to say about it because it's taking away from the topic. Hey man, I sent you a pm. I really didn't clarify what I meant by that. Sorry about that.

I'll openly admit I down vote people who say super douchy $h! and there's just no debating with some people so they get a little click of "you're a douche" and I go on with my day. For the most part that's how I use it. I don't "down vote" I say "you're being a douche". When I disagree with somebody I usually just type something up on why I think one thing or another and they do the same, agreeing or disagreeing.

My daily(s)... Range Rover Sport SVR, CLS 63, Sierra Denali 1500(yes, it can be had with a 5.3) Now for some toys! GT350/R and a Ford GT. Mmmmm Hmmmm.. However... I'm not sure how much the truck would get driven so I think I'd swap that out for what I saw somebody else post, SLR Mclaren. I've always LOVED those cars! Plus, if I wanted to tow any toys around I'm sure the SVR could tow enough. (^ who blacks out their car like this w/o tinting the windows????)

^ That's a good list Frisky!

Go Diesel if you do end up with a Canyonado, they are pretty darn efficient. Otherwise look at EV or Hybrid, there are plenty of choices that are pretty amazing. There are EV or hybrid small trucks for sale?!?!

How much extra did you pay for nitrogen? Nitrogen I question on as it just does not seem to make any noticeable difference. Yes I probably monitor and keep my tires in better shape than most so I never experience the following of why they say nitrogen is better. Benefits of Nitrogen: Slower pressure loss Reduced corrosion Improved Tire Life What do others think, does Nitrogen make a difference? lol funny enough, I was going to ask him how much he paid to allow a rape to happen. Absolute rip off in a consumer vehicle. For how much you pay, never. Ever car has TPMS now so there is no reason other than laziness to not just use "air". If your tires go low, MAGIC, a little light will tell you to check them. They also don't give you longer tread life if you check your tires once a month anyway, heck, most can check once every 2 months and be just fine. The only reason you will get "longer tread life" is if you regularly allow your tires to become under inflated. which, if the average consumer still never checks their tire pressures this will happen to a nitrogen filled tire as well, it will just take longer. If you're racing and you want a more consistent pressure for consistency, yes, maybe..

How much extra did you pay for nitrogen?

lol I really like the "small" truck choices between the Taco and Canyonado. I just can't justify the cost and fuel cost because I know damn well I won't be utilizing it for what it is made for.

Agreed. The S V6/AWD is a top contender for my next vehicle along with the Cherokee Trailhawk and Colorado Z71. Hey now, i named a few things lol. It is a really good car though. Haha just messin, I really do like the looks of the 200 and it sounds like when it is mated to the v6 the 9spd is a great combination as well. Are you looking to buy for yourself soon? I dig the Cherokee, it just wasn't in my price range when I was buying. They were a too new still. It really sucks our brothers Audi is a hunk of $h!.. It sounds like a really frustrating situation to be dealing with. I know I would be willing to part ways with it as quick as I could.

I went through that a couple of months back as well.. luckily mine was nearly dead center and easily repairable. Hopefully yours is as well.

Fun Fact: 95% of all students would ask for extra homework and abstinence education over a Mitsubishi Mirage. Hahahaha I love it! People buy Mitsubishis..?

Check out this recovery and detour the Vette took at Sebring!

I watched this video yesterday, I thought it was really interesting. They did a fantastic job with the whole package.

A little late but I think I got my list.. I just went with brand new, except my Terminator, for simplicity's sake. 03-04 Mustang Cobra - 4.6L C63 S - 4.0L (I might get the coupe as I'd already have the RS7 and X5 for more room) RS7 - 4.0L AMG GT - 4.0L X5 xDrive50i(terrible name to try and say) - 4.4L
