Man, I should have consulted everyone else before deciding to buy my car. Since I'm a total human being with poo poo taste, I guess I'll surrender my car to one of you purists who knows what is good.

It's the 2015, and these are the stripes



I happen to think they look great. It's an understated white SUV, which is the point, and I think the small stripes just add a little something. Anyway, I'm excited.

I'm thinking of selling my S2000 because we got a tiny, smelly, drooly roommate recently. Been eyeing those but I can't decide if the lack of manual transmission is a deal killer or not. You like it?

GramCracker posted:

What up, S3 buddy. How are you liking your car?

I can't speak versus the S2000 having never driven one, but I am quite happy with it overall. I do have some minor annoyances, but that's true for all cars in their own ways. You'd want to make sure the trunk and back seat are big enough for your baby/dog's stuff. It's perfectly serviceable for my purposes though, and it's obviously a hoot to drive which is the point. People around here love domestics - mustangs, camaros, etc so it's also fun to have something different but not super flashy, especially with the winter wheels on.

Those new plates look a lot better than the old ones that were around when I was a kid.

Is there even an Audi dealer in PEI or do you have to go for a jaunt across the bridge?

You can get a Goose, Trout, Lady Slipper :gay:, Fox, or Blue Jay. And yeah, I have to go to Moncton for an Audi dealer, which I generally need to anyway a couple times a year costco. I always enjoy the drive.

I'm fine with M stripes on an M car, it's suv's I hate and trying to make them look sporty is just lipstick on a pig. It'd be like putting the Gulf livery on a Macan.

All that needs to be completely over-the-top badass is some knobby tires, and some suspension to match.

Instead, it's the fat, smelly kid from high school wearing the varsity quarterback's letterman jacket.

This is equally applicable to the M5. It's too... pavement. SUV's don't do pavement.

I'm noticing a correlation between posters who typically enjoy stanced cars and people who like stripes on SUV's. Maybe the next step for that X5 is some wacky camber.

The car is hardly a piece of poo poo and runs fast even on a track or at the drag strip. I was simply giving our friend here some good-natured poo poo about tarting up his $100k SUV with $800 in dealer-applied Pep Boys vinyl before the shitstorm above started.

Thank you, 655321, for being the guy to buy/lease and take the depreciation hit on the car that could be a good replacement for our E70 X5M in a few years.
