Supra GTS
Mustang R Spec

Yep. I'm 90K ahead in my home loan repayments. Too many restrictions to post more in this thread, sadly.

I'm no mechanic but I'm assuming "bagged" suspension as when it's parked it's literally an inch off the road but somehow it suits the car. It raises significantly when driving.

Not saying a good idea etc (or others like it) but seeing a large new sports sedan that low catches my eye I guess and in black looks tough

Someone here locally has one of these too, I've crossed paths a few times with them on the road and at the servo - they're wicked looking cars.

They look mint in two colours:

Black:

White:

https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...8228970/?Cr=15

White for me because I'm too much of a slob to look after cars properly

Not huge on black wheels though, would change for OE finish silver/alloy type wheel.

The core version is stripped out of all the electronic crap, no more fancy adjustable suspension, just Bilstein units and an Alpine stereo rather than the super dooper 19 speaker thing.

Less **** to go wrong, its a Chrysler remember lol

Genesis GV80.

Anyway, given I'm keeping the FG2 - the next daily needs to be a 2 door. Already got a 4 door I want to keep. Something better than the VW 1600 SuperBug I owned previously, the only other 2 door I've owned.

Corvette looks good? If RHD ever gets made.

Of course many of us would put the 100K into the mortgage than cars! Perfectly understandable.

Nah not my money - I can barely afford a 10K Caravan (hence my Towing thread) so no 100K cars on my radar......ha

Not over thinking just tried to make a fun thread about cars not what is sensible financially etc.

Do I "have to" to allow a buffer of 10 to 15 grand?

No............but good idea so yes mate I'll allow it!! (delete Mustang as Ford)

It's still a too restricted thread, sorry, I'd prefer to save for something desirable. 190K I'm pretty sure I'd cave and pull the money out - 100K nah, you've got nothing for me.

Ok mate no worries!

There's lots of new cars out there so if too restricted I'm sorry, but its just a casual thread etc

I see the person who designed the steering wheel at Hyundai took their inspiration from this:

I'll try and get a pic for you next time. (car is suburb next to me and doesn't seem driven much)

It's black (Yeah I know......my R36 is black and looks great (just imo) when polished up then 5 minutes later in wind, dust etc looks dirty!!)

Not sure on wheels for this 300 - gunmetal colour and deep dish type so I'll have to look closer.

Yeah I knew that I'm suspension so he/she must have modded it as it literally sits so low impossible to drive - no idea who does it but must be kits out there for it.

It's not casual when you pipe-in and close down the discussion, mentioning the OP.

You're on a Ford Australia forum, the cars still in use are no longer being made, but their replacement with something better is on topic.

South Korean? Stinger? I've thought about it. But it's still a 4 door car that doesn't excite many here. Or instill passion?

I'll casually say, limiting it to 100K for a new car, and shutting down discussion for anything else is being very restrictive. Hardly casual.

[MercuryT]

It's a shame Wagons (I know many think daggy etc) have basically stopped selling here.

All good as people should buy what they want, but I think wagons instead of SUVs are underrated in Aust.

I guess a changing world but as Franco posted, I'd love a 300C (can't afford it anyway) but simply can't happen as kids and big dogs don't mix in a back seat!

Mate I did the OP?

Pipe-in? Close down the discussion? Ok.

You seem a bit edgy which is fine but yes it's a casual, fun thread mate just to have a discussion outside Ford's!

Beautiful car

[JasonACT]

I'm really not at all edgy about what car you can't afford to buy, it's just the amount of over-steer you seem to be applying that has me thinking... Thinking I've got nothing much else to add here. Oh well, I still like the Corvette. I hope they make it in RHD.

That's unfair. He didn't do anything wrong and the spirit of the post was to see what people would answer within the constructs of the post.

Don't like it? move on to another post.

MercuryT said nothing wrong here.

Seriously mate ease up! I never said I could afford (you're right I can't) nor said anything about anyone's choices.

[JasonACT]

How is it both casual, yet at the same time limited, by the numerous comments by the OP that some remarks/replies don't somehow count?

I've got 90K, I win 100K - what car do I buy? If it were truly casual, he wouldn't comment on other's replies.

Looks suitably threatening for the work car park by day and right at home parked out the dodgy venues on the south end of King Street on a Friday night, would match my silly work attire of collared shirt, dress pants + 1320video flexfit baseball cap perfectly.

P.S - I'm not a drug dealer, I just like looking like one

I like them especially a SRT but in my opinion a V8 Commodore or Falcon are better car overall.
