Midlife crisis style...new car time

Really? We just got $10k (or more) over sticker for the last one we sold.

Seriously. I can't leave my house and go anywhere without seeing at least five of them. They're typically white or black and extended cab versions. I guess the crew cabs are too pricey. :laughing

The night I bought my F-150, Mossy Ford sold not one, not two, but three Raptors in only 30 minutes. I was amazed. The last guy came all the way down from Orange county to buy it. All but the last buyer wrote a check for the entire amount according to my salesman. Apparently Mossy moves a lot of Raptors according to him. It's one of their more popular sales. :wtf

I actually doubt there's all that many gay Miata drivers. Most Miatas I see are driven by age 45+ guys who track them and are past that phase of worrying what other people think.

It's funny how people here always shit on Harleys for being too heavy, but then they drive 3,800 lb Mustangs/Camaros that can't be tossed around. Those types of cars are simply too big and ponderous to have much fun on a tight mountain road or residential area. You can't see the 4 corners, you can't see the lane markers, you've got no feel in the steering, you can't tell when the tires are about to lose grip, and when they do they do it suddenly.

People always say "oh but the skidpad is 0.9G" even though that's on a wide open lot with no penalty for error.

I shit on Harleys cuz they make all that noise and don't go anywhere. Yes they're also big and heavy, if I wanted that I'd buy a fuckin car.

As for Miatas, dude they have like 100 horse power and look like a go cart. If I wanted something that small with so little power I'd buy a motorcycle and keep the 2000lb weight savings.

I have what I consider to be a decent paying job but I don't see where I would get the cash to buy one of those.

I guess the average person is more willing to go into debt than I am.
 
:thumbup I totally forgot about Subaru's part in it, but you're right. If OP is looking for a fun sporty car, that's practical, I really think this might be his best bet. As others have said (and OP confirmed), he's not looking for the sterotypical "midlife crisis" car.

i like you ^^^unlike what others said it's not an over priced toyota. it's pretty much designed by subaru. toyota came up with the concept and some aspects and subaru executed it. its like the rich friend who pays you to build their dream bike, they try to take all the credit but the people who know, know exactly who built it.

Which is the entire reason ill never own a fox, kbb says that bitch is worth 1200 bux, I ain't paying you 4500 for one.

KBB is pretty far off when it comes to stuff older than even 15 years. Or if there's a certain "cache" demand to a particular car. Look up a '87 GNX on There and see if they're even remotely close to what one actually sells for.

Audi Fox? My dad would have given you his after it ate it's 3rd fuel pump, but he traded it in for a 4 door Tercel hatchback in 1983. :laughing

No. Hell no. He means the "Fox" body Mustang. Most synonymous with the "five point oh" Mustangs.
 
not my fault he isn't specific :twofinger

I would only own a fox body mustang if I lived back in the land of no smog, that way it would be game on.

how about one of them Fiat 500 Abarths, in red with a rag top.

Those are neat. I mostly like it for the Scorpion emblem though so that's not of a reason to really buy a car. Much rather do the Mini Cooper in that class of car.

Plus the Fiat is pretty cramped. I'm almost 6'4" and the top of my head had to come through the sunroof. Last Cooper I sat in I had plenty of room.

Well he likes going fast in a straight line and lives life a quarter mile at a time.

Those old Fox bodies make for a great start to cheaply get a car that can turn 1/4 mile times in the 10's.
