(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I've noticed a lot of you guys here are very much into cars, but the threads where we get good discussions going always get closed; under the terms of "already posted." Well, I am your savior. Here is the thread where we can discuss anything that is related to cars. Things may include but are not limited to: your new ride, a dream car, a picture of a car you recently saw, advice on a car purchase or modification, a new upcoming car, a memory with a car, or just maybe a cool picture of a car you found. I imagine this could be a pretty active thread, as I see myself coming to post in it often.

I will report any and all flames. Let's just respect each other and different ideas.

Have at it! Smile

haha you're gonna go trade that 458 for the new M5. Orrrrr you could just keep the Ferrari because I know you'd never sell it and get the M5 too haha. That 458 is a beauty though man. The one down the street from me doesn't even compare to all the extras on yours, looks real clean.

I love all the carbon fiber, it goes so perfectly with the Titanium outside. Then the straight black interior with the light stitching. :love: The wheels, the sexy curves, damn. Cool Man (aka Tustin)

An M5 is a little outta the price range right now. :p Besides, if I ever buy a sedan to sit next to the Mistress, (458, LOL) it'll have to have 4WD for the winter. Maybe a Range Rover in about 3-4 years, I'm very happy with my garage at the moment, no new editions!!!!

M5 will be torched by the time I hook up the 458, even if it's already burned!! Talkin 2.7 to 60 roughly, while keepin' it naturally aspirated. It puts the power down so nicely.

I Cant imagine a $200,000+ Ferrari parked next to a '98 Expedition. If I were you, I'd get a nice new Jeep/Truck. Ofcourse, after you've saved up a bit, and if you ever get bored of you 458 Cool Man (aka Tustin)
Just some examples, ML350/500, GL450, Range Rover/Sport, Q7 etc

Looks good, if it wernt for the shit economic climate at the moment, and if it wernt stupidly expensive to run a car in England. That would be a brilliant next car for my dad. But at around £1.40 per litre, and that M5 averaging (By the time you drive it how you should) around 15-20Mpg. It costs to much to Insure, Use day to day, pay for petrol, keep maintenance etc.

I don't really want a posh city cruiser, I want something that's nice and great off-road. It would have to be the Range Rover, I really like the looks of them. Gotta be able to tow. The new one will come out in a few years, so that's what I'm banking on. 200,000+? More like 325,000+ Sad Awesome Expedition is still truckin on at 135,000 miles, can't beat that! Has never had a major problem. This truck is in such great condition, bought it from a friend who babied it.
