I think Badhobz uses Costco 87 octane exclusively on his LC.

Track season is coming up around the corner. My wallet is going to be in a world of pain with tuition coming up.

I will admit, I've never even sat in a Miata. And I know it's universally seen as a great drivers car. But I already have an FL5 that I'm planning to keep, and looking for a higher end convertible to have as a fair weather weekender.

I have test driven a 718 Spyder. Normal sports seats were ok, and suspension hasn't too harsh. But I will say the early 2010's interior was a bit of a let down. Analog, yes. Cigarette ashtray and CD player, meh. LC interior wins hands down for sure

porsche interiors are all clinical and uninspired. Their new-er interior is like a plastic trash bin full of piano black and lazy aesthetic choices (screens everywhere).

I think their peak interior was probably 997.2 where its mostly buttons and analogue gauges. If you can find one with the full leather interior package thats NOT boring ass black, it looks quite good on the 997.2

Get the LC! why am i the only retard who has one ?!?!?! herrow?! herrow? i might have just answered my own question.

997 had trash materials though. That era of Germans all had trash materials.

its still all trash materials. But at least the 997.2 looks better than the modern stuff.

The only German marque I like is BMW. They know their products are an unreliable, butt fuck ugly mess, and they don't care. It still drives amazingly, and is decently priced. Bang-to-buck ratio is high.

Agreed with this my friend has a FK8 for the track and a 996 GT3 also for the track and he's like wtf am i gonna do with two track cars LOL

He ended up getting a Model 3 for a daily and he's so much happier than trying to dual duty either.

I also don't daily my FK8 anymore. It's too much car for the street. Did it when I had to, don't have to anymore so I don't LOL

I'm confused. Hondas are meant to be daily driven!

I was looking at panamera, taycans lately, and yes they have super boring interiors, all black on black, black plastic, a lot of them are poverty spec with blank buttons, no buttons in the back, for similar money you can get BMW m cars with way more colour, design, same with S63 a lot of them is just everything black interior + black carbon trim

they arent making anymore. all allocation's are spoken for and gone so you cant even get a new one if you tried. Plus the MSRP ballooned from 130k (when i bought it) to now 150k in the 4 years since i owned mine. what the hell!? 20k more just cuz you tacked on an ugly screen?

There was a recent article on The Autopian calling out some car hoarding:

https://www.theautopian.com/a-lotus-...members-rides/

Highlights:
-Hoard spans everything from a beaten up Chevy S10 to a Ferrari FF.
-Bought the E63 AMG sight unseen.
-Bought the Exige sight unseen.
-Picked up an STI as a "compliance car": unspoken rule in their neighborhood that you must drive a Subaru.
-Bought a GT3 because it was the "logical" thing to do.
