Exactly the situation I wanted to avoid lol

Plenty of cheaper options, but none that appear to match quality & performance of the tritons.

Plus the safety aspect of having reliable and more visible turn signals.

Thanks!

Recall which washer you used? Or how far you had the bulb screwed into the base part? Fine tuning the universal mounting seems to be the toughest part of install...

so quick question to my sedan family...


if you had $65k to spend on a car would you:
A) buy a used GTR (low mileage, most likely from a dealer)
B) buy a brand new car (S4, Q50, etc)

How often do you use your back seat? Back seat usability ? - GT-R Ownership - GT-R Life

Are those your only options? Lease the S4 and call it a day.

Then I vote GTR. The S4 is too practical for a single guy who doesn't really need a sedan and has more money than brains.

Plus, the GTR is way more attractive and impressive. Get the GTR. Live it up.

considered it but GTR has been a dream car for a while. Plus I looked at one while shopping for the S4 at the Merc dealership next door wasn't too fond of the interior to be honest

If I had the garage space, and a gun to my head forcing me to part with $65K in return for an automobile... pretty sure I'd spend $50k on a fine luxury car, and $15k on a classic toy.

My inner finance voice says I'd rather invest the money in my retirement than a diminishing asset.

But, you can't take it with you, so if you can swing it, go for it. I'll be having the same debate in a few years when it's time to replace my G and I don't have a nanny and preschool in my budget anymore.

I hear where you guys are coming from but my retirement is well in the works.


Believe me I crunched some numbers and sure the $65k would be nice to add into the retirement fund, but I am comfortable giving it up for something I would truly enjoy now.


Plus I ll be finishing up school and my loan from USAA will be done in less than a year.

I don't know what the prices are like there, but what about an R8 if they're priced in that range?
