I am in the same situation and couldn't be happier with my car. It fits my life perfectly right now.

I'm torn for my future options. Go all in on something like a M3 in a couple years, or drive my G till the wheels fall off, but supplement it with a toy car, such as a 911 or V10 M6. Of course the maintenance of those concerns me. Somewhere in between would be a 5.0, ZL1, or mu wifes favorite, a SRT8 challenger.

It's a fun mental exercise, but for now, I'm immensely happy with the G, and am in no hurry to replace it.

 

I am happy with my G. Just would be happier with an Audi RS5 or RS7.... For the time being it's a great car and a blast to drive and mod.

 

Thanks to some input from Rochester the Cayman S is at the top of my "next car" list. I'm going to have to arrange for some seat time in one in the not too distant future. But like you guys, probably in the 3-4 year time frame.

 

In that same context, (where I'm thinking of a 3-4 year old Cayman S), a 3 year old Jaguar F-Type R Coupe might be equally awesome. Maybe even more so. Um, maybe 4-5 year old.

LOL

I love the look of the F-types and the reviews have been very good overall, but considering Porsche is at the very top of recent reliability rankings and Jags have always come up short in that regard that would weigh pretty heavy. I'm still licking the wounds from that BMW experience so if I go in w/ a 3 year old Cayman (or F-type) it would be on my dime in a pretty short time. I'd be on the verge of retirement (and the fixed income that goes along w/ that) just about the time I'd be out of warranty so it's a lot to consider.

 

I want to drive my G until it dies on me but I get tempted from time to time about getting a sportier car =\ my brothers Z06 is of no help either...

 

See... except for the BMW indigestion, I could have written that.

 

I have my eyes set on a Tesla Model S. Been researching it since college for my thesis before it even came out. Still too expensive for me but do have some stock in the company. Really happy with my G Sedan at the moment and it wont be going anywhere soon.

P.S. I finally switched out my stock 17" with Conners 18" Sport wheels and my god what a difference! Also switched out my stock HID to 6000k From Diode Dynamics with 6000k Parking lights and amber fog lights. I am in love with my car again (never hated it).

 

Nice! What tires are on the 18s?

 

nice, finally about time ! text me a picture of how it looks with the wheels and the new lights !

 

Pictures or it didn't happen!

I washed mine yesterday. She's a pretty b1tch when clean it turns out...

Ordered hardware kits for the brakes and as soon as I get the $4k in expenses I just submitted back I think I'm going to break down and get the calipers swapped out. And... You know... Since it'll be in the shop may as well give it a drop on Swifts and install the FTSB. Then, you know, that will be it. Until the next mod.

 

Akebonos are "out for delivery"! Every car modders favorite words. Hopefully I will have time to install them on Friday at some point.

 

I went out to pick up some lunch just now, and was driving home on a local road... 2 lanes of busy traffic each way, with a center lane and stoplights every few hundred feet. I noticed a black Mercedes in my rear view mirror, darting in and out of cars. He raced ahead of me, then cut in and hit the brakes. I mean, where was he going to go? Did he not see the a long line of cars stopped at the light?

So with my hands on the wheel, I gestured to myself palms out in a "what the heck?" manner. He must have been watching me, because out comes the arm and the one-finger salute. So I did my best "Lookout, we got a badazz!" happy hands, and BAM! out comes the finger again. Then another out the sunroof. It's like he was having an epileptic fit, LOL.

It made me laugh, partly because... well, srsly, what was he going to do? But mostly I laughed because if you want to be a badazz, then you need to come at me with something more worthy than a CLA 250.

 

What a *****! You should've just revved up your car so he could hear what a "real" car sounds like.

 

Yes, but... think about it. If he feels like King of the Road in a CLA 250, then he's really not smart enough about cars to appreciate the difference. If he were, and he wanted to drive it like a racecar, he'd have a CLA 45.

Just an entitled poser. And middle-aged, too, like me. Which was part of teh funny.
