Beware the engine rebuilds that seem common on NC miata, early Pentastar V6, and S model Porsche. | NC engine issues are only on the 2007/08. But you'd want to swap in a 2.5 anyways. It's crazy how close it gets to a S2000. Quote:

$10-!5K used ... I wonder if you can find a decent Toyota iM hatch or a decent low kms, Golf TSI | Pretty sure civic hybrids are $40-46K out the door, even base civics are close to $33-38K pre-tax.
Will check out the I3 + Prius Prime. Only concern is maintenance cost on the I3, most asians get spooked at even a $1K tyre bill

I’d honestly just go lease them a GTI. If they are still doing the same price as mine, that’s 500 bucks a month, zero down. It’s DSG only now….

They don't make RS money to justify $1k/month on a car.
- $560 Lease
- $250 Insurance
- $200 Gas
at 15% rule = $80K income, maybe you can justify, I think it's retarded

if they want something used, thats a lot of money upfront that they might need in case of emergencies.

Walking around in different neighborhoods the thing that always catches my eye is when people have vehicles sitting on a flat
Like as a car person or even just as not being a dirtball, just get the fucking tire off the ground bro

So a discount airline from Korea announced a new route today to Vancouver.
While playing around with the dates, found some one way flights from ICN to YVR with Air Canada that are coming up as $283 CAD. 
Plug into Google Flights YVR to ICN with September 13 as the depart date.
Select any of the $831 dates. Go through to the checkout and you'll see the Air Canada ticket as $283 one way for economy with free seat selection.
