Bye Car

[RicardoObviouso]

sweet deal

...most of the time.

 

 

my favorite quote to use is "rome wasn't built in a day." there's a lot of dreamers out there, and i come face to face with them on a daily basis.

[ecnarf]

nope. can't blame porsche, just the douhebags who drive cayennes.

Question: who the hell needs or even wants 400 horsepower in an suv? all that power is wasted by the heavy chassis and gooey automatic transmission.

[RicardoObviouso]

"dude, it's got a hemi."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...thats why.

[ecnarf]

But it's not a hemi! The Cayenne S is a turbocharged four-cylinder!

[RicardoObviouso]

the cayanne s is a naurally aspirated 4.5L V8 rated at 340 horsepower

 

and the hemi i was reffering to was in regards to the jeep.

 

 

 

where the hell are you getting your information from?

damnit, those fucking trucks are on a 6 month back order and there's only 250 coming to canada.

I'd never wanna drive that nice or expensive of a car. My older brother got one, and in weeks before he could get the garage cleaned out, he lost sleep on most nights thinking someone was going to steal it or do something to it while it was in the driveway. Periodically, he would ask me to make sure it's still there. That's pretty stupid I think, the car is not really much more practical than mine (aside from being a 4-door and thus roomier) but it cost more than twice as much. But I've never had to worry about parking it somewhere and coming back to find an empty spot.

[RicardoObviouso]

status symbol, my friend. cars are cool. some people say others drive fucking expensive cars to over compensate for something else (usually the insult is a small penis), and usually the only insult you can use on a guy who's got a car worth more than most people make in a year is the tiny dick joke. unless he's bald.

 

 

 

 

 

but going back to the status symbol...its just like having a really really sexy girlfriend. you know, the kind that any guy with a little bit of confidence and a few drinks in him would take a stab at.... and leaving her alone at a nightclub.

Makes it seem even less worth it, if it earns some kind of resentment.

[RicardoObviouso]

it never does.

[HoboFactory]

I think it does. Even I sometimes feel a little resentment towards rich douchebags in expensive cars. Although I understand it's not (always) them trying to compensate for deficiency in manhood or hair, to me it seems like they've misguided aspirations; they're often times just materialists, and I've difficulty respecting that.

I agree completly with that statement...well said

[RicardoObviouso]

well, it sure makes driving to work in the morning fun.

Porsche ads?

 

I must be thinking of the Cayenne Turbo.

[RicardoObviouso]

the cayenne turbo has the same engine as the S, with forced induction. producing 450 horsepower.

 

 

no current model porsche is powered by anything less than a 6 cyl.

Then my memory is more faulty than a 1993 Hyundai.

 

The 450 bhp engine is the one I was thinking of. I had thought I read somewhere in a Porsche ad that the things are powered by a hand-crafted four-cylinder blown engine. I really do remember that.

 

I saw a Cayenne today at school. Very rich neighbourhood, don't you know. I then evaluated if it was a proper SUV or a station wagon as Satty suggested. It's more of a low-slung SUV than a station wagon, which is probably done to keep people away from, say, the BMW X5, which is a hell of a lot stockier.

 

My opinion: Infiniti FX45 way before a Cayenne. The sound that comes out of those things is fucking unreal.

[RicardoObviouso]

its true... just a little on the ugly side.

[ecnarf]

 

 

Okay, so the hood line looks a bit awkward, but other than that, I think it's quite well-designed. The rear fascia is the taker.

i can't wait until the SUV fad ends... my dad has an acura mdx and i kinda resent the fact that he bought into the whole "white collar professional must have an SUV" trend.

 

it's just a glorified honda crv

[Shiri]

I don't like SUVs.

[Azalroth]

Give me a standard truck anyday over a SUV. Abeit those dont' look to bad above

[RicardoObviouso]

all acuras are glorified hondas.

Why bother?

 

do you have a reason to have a truck?

[ecnarf]

Pilot. The CRV is much smaller than the MDX/Pilot, which are both built on the same platform.

 

Fact: I once had to take a short ride in a CRV. Never again. Those things are awful.

Not right now, but I know for a fact that trucks always come in handy...that and I'm used to them.
