Does Khalil's girl have a newer Corvette, or am I thinking of someone else?

I still can't get over that.

Listen, shit master. Just because it's a Honda doesn't make it a good suggestion.

You wanted, and I quote, "Sedan/wagon, must be manual, I want something quick, fun to drive, can carry 4 people comfortably, and a decent sized trunk."

Sedan- Check
Manual- Check
Quick- Check
Fun to drive- Check (Large cars that haul the mail and handle halfway decent)
Decent sized trunk- Check

What you should say is "Sedan, must be a manual because I'm not buying a brand new car, I want something fast even though I don't need it, must be RWD even though I don't need something RWD to drive around college in, can carry myself and all my camera gear, and I don't really have a point about a trunk, since all sedans have big trunks. It also must be a BMW, specifically an E39 5-series".

I had basically the same conversation with my buddy. He kept hounding me for advice on his next new car, but all he really wanted me to say was "get a BMW 5 series cause they are the only car ever made". He just sold his 6-spd e39, and kept saying he still loved e39's. Finally I just said stfu go get another e39 just like the damn one you just sold.

Last week he bought an 04 540.

Automatic.

Holy shit, I'm still laughing at the video Khalil posted this morning. No matter how many times I watch it, it's still hilarious.

1) Genesis coupes, as much as I **** to say it, suck balls. The car is much too large for a coupe, at least it feels that way. Sight lines are awful. The shifter is hot garbage. Pedal feel is the opposite of linear.

2) BRZs are a little more than FR-Ss. I prefer the BRZ for the interior and exterior differences; it just looks prettier.

3) Kielan, for a man who continually buys cars that end up being on the shittier side after a while, you sure are one picky motherfucker. FF is not the end of the god damned world; unless you're trying to be Ken Block or some shit. If you're keeping something for a year, buy a $800 shitbox and live with the fact that you will have a better car later rather than now. The more you dump in now, the less you'll have to go HAM later.

Although I guess if you buy something boring, you're bound to fall asleep in it.

4) Squishy, can I borrow a grand? I'll pay it back in June, when I get my freelancing T911 check. I'm tapped on cash and have 1 weekly paycheck left from FMU, which has to last me two weeks until my first W2C check. And if my pulleys shit out before I get paid again, I'm straight up hosed.

5) Squishy, give me a thousand dollars. You're the most beautiful brown man I've ever met. You make me not want to be a racist.

My E46 has a pathetic trunk. Not all sedans have big trunks. RWD because I prefer how it feels and drives. I carry a lot more than "my camera stuff" around, if that's all I was worried about I'd have a 2 door convertible, A back pack fits in most cars pretty easily. I never said it had to be a BMW, I'm open to AWD cars as well. I have certain affinity for BMWs because I am firm believer that had I not been in that E46 when I crashed and in my integra, I wouldn't be here today to tell the story. But I am open to pretty much anything that isn't FWD or a step "backwards" if you will.

How is a FWD car a "step backwards" for someone who only needs a car to commute in? You don't do anything besides slam a car on it's balls and drive around.

My vote is for a GC8 Subaru Impreza then, given your criteria. Cheap, reliable, AWD, enough room for plenty of shit.

Kelly's right in that FF and FR cars have different feelings when being driven -- the whole push versus pull dynamic. Personally, as long as it doesn't understeer like a pig, I'll enjoy it. That's why I threw a 22mm rear sway in the Civic. Killed almost all understeer above 8/10ths.

I enjoy spirited drives on the back roads around school and at home, I do go for longer drives where I do nothing but enjoy the car, and have as much fun as I can. I've driven older TLs and I fucking ***** it. Everything about it, the interior sucks, they're ugly, they're heavy, and they don't provide me with any enjoyment. That's a pretty big fucking step backwards if you ask me.

I didn't like how my Integra drove, and yes, I can definitely feel the difference especially when blasting around on back roads.

In regards to a GC8 I seriously considered one, but the trunk is comparable to that of a the E46, and that's not big enough.
