Don't tell your problems to people. 80% of people don't care and 20% are glad you have them.

I believe Range Rovers come with an array of free tennis skirts.

It should be something canned and consistent, as we will be saying it frequently.
I guess, maybe try this; "Well, at least it is not a Ford."
That won't work. RR is the only vehicle that makes a Ford look awesome.
Give me some time, this will be difficult...

TEXASBGE2018 said:Maybe a Good Friday night topic but.... I have a while but I’m thinking about buying an American muscle car. I can’t get a demon or shelby or ZL1 so don’t recommend some 80,000-90,000 track car. I plan on keeping my existing 4Runner and driving it into the ground. Whatever muscle car I get will be a fun, rub it with a cloth diaper weekend car Eventually when I retire decades from now maybe show it around. I will keep it for the rest of my life. Which would you buy if you had your choice of the following:
Dodge Challenger R/T
Ford Mustang GT
Chevy Camaro SS
Used Corvette Stingray
I am the happy owner of a Mustang GT with track pack. It’s definitely a fun ride.
Last weekend, a friend let me test pilot his Challenger HellCat. 707hp and around 650ft-lbs of torque stock. Quite the animal indeed!! -

Doesn’t much matter... I predict driving by humans will be outlawed by the time the automated self-driving tech is good enough. Statistically much too dangerous. -

My dream car is a 1996 Impala SS. The 96 came with floor shift transmissions. That of course would be switched out with a 6 speed manual transmission. Just need to win the lottery to buy the car and do the transmission swap!"The pig is an amazing animal. You feed a pig an apple and it makes bacon. Let's see Michael Phelps do that" - Jim Gaffigan

Having grown up in the era of '60s muscle, my heart yearns for some old Detroit iron. I had a '67 Firebird back in the day. That said, compared to modern performance cars, my 'Bird was anemic and handled a lot like a lumber truck. Modern American muscle (Camaro, Mustang, etc.) are really heavy and underpowered unless you spend the big bucks for the jacked up V8s.
If you want affordable fun, take a look at a Subaru WRX or STI. I had a 2011 WRX sedan I drove for almost four years. They are stupid fast and handle like a rally car (they are rally cars). They hold corners so tight they'll throw you out of the seat if you're not strapped in tight. They will absolutely smoke most anything coming out of Detroit today. The only downside was punk kids wanting to race.Michiana, South of the border. -
As far as fun cars I had a 72 Buick GS convertible and a 93 Mustang GT. Both fun cars at the time and I thought they were both fairly quick when I had them. Pretty sure they’d both be spanked by a current Honda Oddesey. Once my kids are done with college, 6 years from now, I will be buying a Mustang GT...most likely a ragtop.Large Big Green Egg in a nest. North Shore of Boston.

Any idea what age declining motor skill and reaction time intersects with increasing knowledge, experience and judgement? There has to be a sweet spot there for driving the shjt out of a high performance car.

GrillSgt said:You need to go sport instead of muscle. Putting a BMW ‘76 2002tii through some turns around 60 mph that you would have to do 35 in a muscle will rejuvenate you.
Dad had a 2002tii restored and painted a factory orange in Alaska. He sold it a couple years back to a Hollywood camera man if I remember right, that guy drove it 1,000 miles across alaska loaded it on a barge and rode with it to “the lower 48”. He sends dad photos of his car with famous people every now and then. I can still smell that leather.South of Columbus, Ohio. -

Not mine but my wife's car. She always wanted a Mustang so she got one for her 65th birthday. A 2017 GT Premium and it is a beast and fun to drive.
