Avenger, a man of your stature should not bother with a car pretending to be someone else. Get the real thing --> Porsche Macan. You could pick up a MY15 for a tick over $100k

Definitely. Need to replace the Dualis by January/February. It's been a good car, a little small, very reliable but reminds me of a disposable razor blade. Just does it's job.

PS Never get a CVT gearbox, sounds like a whiny lawnmower.

Nice!

I had a CVT in my Honda Jazz way back in 2003. It was awesome.

Then I had one in my Lancer in 2008. It sucked.

Now I'm thinking of getting a Subaru Outback, and they are fitted with a CVT.

Car is for my wife. I have a company car. But yes, that Porsche is amazing.

barry might like that one more too - it turns things grey with an orange hue

tbh I don't think I'd ever want to spend $100K for a car ... $40-50K tops .... I just don't see the point throwing so much coin at a car

Some people spend all their life accumulating wealth but never get to enjoy it. What's the point of working your ring off if you can't enjoy the fruits of your labour ?

Pretty weird. I would have figured that most of what I've posted in this thread is pretty clearly an attempt to be a voice of moderation. Oh well. Doesn't matter.

Must be Poo's fault.

Teslas go for almost $100k themselves...

 

[Gronk]

I see that Tesla merkin will be selling his batteries to us next year. He reckons that you'll be able to store youe solar generated power at home and pretty much not need to rely on the grid.

Poor coal.

Probably. It will remain an eternal mystery, given that Avenger managed to read a post that never existed. Bermuda Triangle has nothing on this. Or maybe Pou has hired a secret team of hackers.

 

[Bigfella]

It's just one of those mysteries like how Bart could always respond to pou's posts despite having him on ignore.

Or how phantom came back to the forum at exactly the same time as Bart after exactly the same period of absence.

Or how Ryan Morgan continues to get selected in first grade.

Or maybe you edited your own post and overwrote the original one that Avenger read.

Not everything is Pou's fault - just most things.

Tesla? I wonder where he is from?

Not sure that could have happened in this case. The vanishing post was a reply to #2097, and I only made post #2099 to note the disappearance of the other one.

I love my Outback.

Two lasses have a car @ Bathurst this weekend. Is that a first ? Good luck to them anyway.

So with Ford and Holden basically being imported yank tanks or some Opel derivative in 2016/17, do Ford and Holden fans still hold their loyalties and continue to give a crap ?

The brunette goes OK.

A lot of people do it for their kids.

My bro has an $8M home and a $4M holiday home (which he paid both for in cash) on top of a huge share portfolio. He still works his butt off and I asked him why doesnt he take it easy and enjoy life a bit more.

He said it is all for his kids.

BTW, he drives a golf gti. However, his wife has a Audi TTs and a BMW 5 series as a family car.

If I spent a lot more time in my car, I'd own a better one.

Maybe if he'd doing it all for his kids he should just sell half his shit and give it to them now.

What's the point of waiting until he 80 when he dies and then they get it ?
