Rethinking my relationship with cars.

[12,000 RPM]

I pick up my daughter from day care so a big back seat is key. Something as big as the G inside is the minimum

I have landed on my pick.... a very interesting one that wouldn't even have crossed my mind if a YT review hadn't popped up in my subscriptions today

I knew it! A Nissan Rogue Sport.

Stinger?

[Raza]

It's one Civic Del Sol towing another Del Sol.

Stinger?

I wish

[CALL_911]

Hm how about an old LS460?

Hm how about an old LS460?

I was literally going to look at one this morning but Jack talked me out of it. No Bluetooth! Worse gas mileage than the G. Not super quick. Kind of cramped inside. Damn if they don't look good though.

At a dealership now.

[CALL_911]

Fuck Jack Baruth

LS460 kinda cramped?  The fuck?

[Lebowski]

Avalon.

Fuck Jack Baruth

Also this.


Make your own damn decisions, sporty.

Why not just fix the G out of pocket

[r0tor]

It's a Buick enclave... I know it

[Xer0]

If its Jack, its a last generation Toyota Camera SE with summer tires.

[Morris Minor]

Sporty, how many seconds elapsed between the "oh shit" after crunching the G, and starting mental analysis & evaluation of its replacement candidates?

Multiple estimates came in for more than what I paid for it

Thousands... as Jack said I went through the 5 stages of grief. I knew whatever replaced it couldn't be as enticing or exciting so there was no joy in that decision process.

Welp... here it is:



savageese posted a review of the Stinger and it got the gears turning. Obviously not the G but it's as nice inside for sure. Pretty sure they gave me a tank of 87 which sucks but I drove some other ones and it does OK. It's just enough power wise. Panoramic roof, vented seats... very cool. The wheel gap does bother me but other than that I'll leave it alone.

Side note, it seems like every black person I know who lives in the South, drives an upper-level Kia.





Also, the Optima is a pretty sedan. Good Choice!


What next for the G?

[12,000 RPM]

The one of the phones in the BT list of one I drove was "DeQuanna's Iphone".... my car has a Drake CD in it... you may be right

G is going to whichever of LQK or Copart gives me a bigger offer. Pulling the wheels + my personal effects and sending it off.

Craigslist it, it's got a clean title. Bet you can get $5000, minimum.

[MexicoCityM3]

Kia Optima is one of the better looking sedans IMO.

[CALL_911]

Is it a turbo?

[12,000 RPM]

Is it a turbo?

Of course

[CALL_911]

Sweet. How many miles/what year, what kind of options? Post some pics dude

[12,000 RPM]

2013, 78K, fully loaded... heated/cooled seats, panoramic roof, nav etc. etc.

Needs some detailing before I post exterior pics

Lol. look at the depression behind the driver's door. How bad are the nail scratches? Do the wear patterns in the floor mat say "high heels," (smallish and often cut-through), or sneakers (rubbing over a large area, bit no cuts).

Nothing like looking at these things to bring out your inner Sherlock.

Nice car.

They're assembled in West Point GA. so def a Southern car.
Congrats, Sporty - good choice.

[AutobahnSHO]

Handsome.

My in-laws bought their second Sorrento last year and it is LOADED with cool stuff. Hope you love yours as much as they do theirs.

[Payman]

Thumbs up from me.    I hope it proves to be a good choice.
