It's car time!

[TheRabbit]

So we got the approval from Capital One this morning and we officially start looking for a car today. I'm pretty dead set on the Audi, but we are also looking at Ford, Lincoln and ...I hate to even type this...Subaru. My wife likes them and this will be her car.

Best of all!!!!!!! The Durango is not going to be my problem anymore!!!!! I hate that fucking car!

I love my Subaru. Other cars I've driven fishtail. Subaru AWD hugs the roads.

VW Sportwagen is introducing AWD (they're calling it Alltrack) in its 2017 models.

Kias are cheap, so I hear.

I had a good season last year. Paid off the wife's car (year 3 of the 6 year finance) bought my son a newer used truck, and financed my new ride. I understand exactly how you are feeling.

Just the feeling that you are getting out from under the money pit and uncertainty of the old vehicle......

Even though I'm a Ford man, I would go with a Subaru. The Forrester is really nice.

[TheRabbit]

Drove this one. The wife liked it too.

Not sure I want a white one though. I like the black Audis..They are sharp. Still going to do some more looking tomorrow.

Plus 1 on the Forrester. The 3lt boxer 6 is the best engine option as its chain and not belt driven so no expensive servicing.
Plus the ground clearance isnt overly high but not low either so makes it a good height for a female.
There Awd system is only second to audi.

What will you do when you get EMP'ed?

[TheRabbit]

Same thing as everyone else, except I have a year of food and supplies in my basement. Probably just become a raider after that.

[TheRabbit]

Negotiating on a Q5 in Rochester right now. Fucker is clean. We are going back and forth over 800 fucking dollars. Greedy bastards.

[dudeman]

Split the difference.

[TheRabbit]

They wanted 18,900
I wanted 17,200
They are sitting at 18,500
I'll buy it at 18 if they come down to it.
