Feeling the purple!

And god damnit regarding the spelling, can't believe I fucked that up. I've been super tired all day! Forgive me?

I'd take a Legacy GT Spec B, my coworker had one, was willing to sell to me but I didn't take him up on his offer.

An Acura RL AWD would also be nice. I really like the toned down look.

An auto WRX would be nice too, think someone I know has a 2016 and gets like 27-28 MPG.

I'd rock a Spec B as a daily. If I were to go Acura though, I'd learn more towards a TSX sport wagon.

In other news... I'm hopelessly in love with this Detomaso Pantera-ish body kit on an Huracan

The TSX is a bit meh imho, nothing wrong with it at all, but Honda's suspension is a bit stiff riding while still being wallowy when pushed and the K24 doesn't really propel it in an exciting manor despite having vtec... I need to really flog it once before I sell it, probably in a year or two. But that's what having a car around for a decade does to your opinion of it.

fuu the more I step back the more I want to pick up an AMG wagon, it's a terrible fucking idea and I can't afford it, but I still want it.

They're my ideal daily driver or a similar sporty German wagon. Bit of a sleeper as well which I like. Would like to have a different color from your typical grayscale as I've gotten sick of having the same range of monochromatic colors for every car I've had, but that somehow doesn't feel right. It's like buying a Ferrari that's not red.

I get that, the bmw seems to work in pretty much any color, but the silver arrows seem to work better in muted colors with a few rare exceptions

I'm not exactly a super fan of wagons, I would just much rather have a wagon/hatch over a sedan. I am really satisfied with my 86 and it isn't going anywhere anytime soon, but any other cars I buy are either going to go one way or the other, racecars or more practical. SUV's are boring because you can't go drift/autox/track them, and sedans waste a bunch of space for no reason.

In terms of what I'd rather own
2-door>hatch/wagon>sedan>truck>suv>>>cuv

This blew my mind, there was one of these in my run group when I first went to Laguna Seca (maybe not a true Evo, but a mitsu wagon), didn't realize it could be fun until I saw this a few days ago.

They have been, and will be, quite busy seeing how many shareholder c*cks can fit in their mouths at once while simultaneously jerking off worthless politicians with both hands and screwing consumers.

There aren't many options anymore but I encourage people to see what is available in their area that is not the cable or phone company. In much of the Bay Area we've got more choices than most, like Sonic and Monkeybrains.

Personally I pay more for less speed (with Sonic) compared to Comcast, but in return I have no privacy concerns, no potential of throttling/blocked ports, no data cap, and included VPN and shell access.

I used to work in the industry and 20 years ago there were two dozen or more ISP's here...now there's maybe, what? Six? F*ckin' lame.


I won't deal with any of these assholes. Awhile ago I cancelled DirecTV (customer for ~10 years) solely because they are owned by AT&T now.
Vote with your dollars (if you even have the option)!
Suck it, Comcast:

For those who love food and specifically NYC / Jewish style delis like Katz in NYC.. I found a ridiculously good deli in San Jose that I thought the Bay Area wasn’t capable of having and somehow it’s been here way longer than the 6 years I’ve lived in the area.

It’s called Gunther’s.

I feel conflicted. On one hand it's not ridiculously oversized so you don't get that feeling of "man it was awesome that I ate so much". On the other hand it's not ridiculously oversized so you don't get that feeling of "man I feel sick because I ate so much".


It does look really tasty though.
