If you're going to spend that much you should get a raptor. Great looking truck.

Raptor was discontinued .. but I am considering the replacement which is the Fx4 off road .. which look baller as **** but I think would be a bit embarrassed to use as a daily vehicle .. you'd spend $4k/year on tires wearing down on the pavement.. it is also not the smoothest ride quality on pavement
Wow, I had no idea they were discontinued. I see one a day where I am. I would have gotten one if I could justify spending that much. Plus, I loved the grill. First time I've ever used that as a justification to like an automobile (even more).
Yeah its one of my personal favorites too ! I would rank it up there for best looking vehicle of all time.. although not very practical , which I suppose is sort of similar to a Lambo.
Anybody here into trucks? Whether its for offroading , hauling toys, campers, or just for the badass factor .. I would argue they are much more practical use of money .. but that may be just cause I am currently saving up for one of the new aluminum f150 , lariat 3.5L twin turbo , will cost $50k which I would argue is way better spend than a new Mercedes or BMW .. once you buy your boats, atv, or camper .. you going to tow that with your sports car ?
Where is the logical fallacy?Comparing the cost of a new car with the cost of a used car in order to make an overpriced car sound like a better deal...I feel like there is a logical fallacy in there somewhere.
Theres going to be a 2016 Raptor....
As far as jumper cables just grab the smallest gauge you can stand. I think Ive seen some $20 ones that were 6 gauge. Its like needle sizes, the thicker the cable the faster they will work.
Buy whatever you want! So many people are judgy here. "Oh my god you bought a 100k car what a idiot" like we work at Taco bell lol We work hard to get where we are at. As long as you have a nice 401k going you're good. Like most of us I work my ass off for my money. No chance in hell i'm rolling in a little cheap **** car. To each its own. First priority always loan (you're good on that) and 401k. Outside of that everything is everyone's opinion.I'm currently looking into buying a 2nd fun car like a rear wheel drive sports car with a manual transmission. Maybe a BMW 1/2 Series or Porsche Cayman. Any other suggestions? Don't worry, I've already paid off my student loans, mortgage, and car loans, and am saving >$50k/yr between 401k, Roth and taxable.

Also i'd go with the Porsche vs 1/2 series. If you can and are feeling selfish look into the M4. Try leasing it. M5 and m6 get a little pricey but the M4 has a nice price point.

LOL. All of these people that think a Porsche is a sports car are hilarious.

Yeah only BMW's worth it are the M3-M6. Especially the new models coming out in 18' that will be pushing over 600 poniesIt's obviously not an American muscle/pony car but it's a great car. I really like the 911. The ones to laugh at are the BMW people if you ask me; 40k gets you a mean 4 cylinder 180 HP and if you walk onto any college campus all you will see are 10 year old BMWs.
Do not get a Cayman.
Haha. I'm thinking of ditching my current ride and getting a 991 GT3 or R8 v10+911 GT3 RS or gtfo
If 911 is not a sports car, then what is?
A sports car is any car that at factory specs can reliably outperform the local police pursuit vehicle. 911 definitely qualifies anywhere but Japan (they field Fairladys and 3000GT for TMP and KPP).
I've always kind of wanted a Mercedes Benz G-Class SUV.
I'd always thought they ran around $80k.
I'm due for a new car relatively soon, so I took a peek last week at the list price: $122,400
So I am going to have to not get that.
I like this thread...it's not related to pharmacy
1994 Toyota Land Cruiser for overlanding/camping. It's stock at this point, but it will become a proper gig eventually.
2014 Subaru Outback for going to work, Costco, etc.
What's everybody's dream car? Mine is a Land Rover Defender 90/110.
Brilliant Future's Benz FriendsI was zippin' through the city and I don't give a f***
1994 Toyota Land Cruiser because
That b**** ain't never broke down on me, why would I do that to her?
Simple is it, symbolism, I'll pull up at a club
And might not never buy a new car again, if I can help it
Cause if I buy one they gon sell ten, then what I'm left with?
Throw a **** one on the strength, then we might could talk
Til then, I'mma ride my f***in' bike, or walk

No, thats pretty bad ass. How much are they going to go for?Am I the only one that thinks the new Jeep Hellcat is sick? 707 hp, 650lb torque.... yes please. 2 diff concepts below.
Unsure about the red/black but I'd still drive that sucker, I'd like to see it completely blacked out.
Yes the Cayman starts at $54k but then they add $1,050 delivery fee, $640 for metallic paint, $1,970 for 19" wheels, $185 for colored logos on the wheels (seriously) and $3,200 if you want the PDK auto, so really you're looking at over $60k + sales tax and registration. Plus the new 718 has a turbo 4 cyl which doesn't sound as good as the NA 6 cyl on 2016 and prior models.I didn't realize that the 718 Cayman only starts at 54k brand new. That and the new Corvette both look so good in my opinion despite being different in every way.

Personally I was never really attracted to American cars like the Corvette, Camaro and Mustang, but they do look like good value.
Nah I don't like that color. My BMW is Le Mans Blue$640 for metallic paint? More like $2,580 for Miami Blue. Don't skimp on your dreams.
