Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

Only a little suspension and sound deadening away from being a 750 already. Luxury level is different though. XTS is much more like the Audi, but with a not quite yet refined enough dash. That should be firmware rip-able though.

Now if Cadillac would just release the Aviator competitor WITH an LS I'd know exactly what to buy too.

This could be easily modernized with some leather wrapping on the dash and a little glass in the console.

And this is sexy as it is:

Looks like a mid 90s eclipse GSI... Not sexy in the least IMO.

You've never seen one in person have you?

I've driven about 5 different ones. Best friends dad drove one for years too. Beautiful cars.

I've been driving by one for sale for nearly a year as I have a neighbor (~.5mi away on way to daycare) that has been selling one. Glad there wasn't a price on it as I just looked and they give them away now.

Drove some cars today

What was on today's menu?

In the last 36 hours:

BMW 750i MSport, Audi A8 TDI & 4.0TFSI, Jaguar XF & XJ S/C, MB S550 & C300 (lol), Hyundai Equus, Cadillac CTS & XTS Vsport, Infiniti FX50s & Q56, BMW X6 & X6 5.0, Jeep GC SRT8, Lexus LS460 F Sport, and I feel like I am leaving one out.

Any highlights?

I might buy another Stang tomorrow.  Drop top, needs an engine.  I have two and two donor cars.

The owner of a place I used to work owned one.  I got to sit in it, but never rode in it.  I LOVED that car.  So simple, yet elegant.

Another car you'll hate that I absolutely love

Can't tell you how many times I've almost bought one.

Had a weird day dream too. Bought a Bentley Continental with a blown motor and put an LS in it.

Awesome dreams.

750>XTS>A8>XJ>LS460>S550>XF>Equus

X6>FX50s>SRT8>X5

If TRD made a supercharger for the Lexus I'd buy one.

If the Jeep had a decent interior it'd move to the top of the ute list.*

*drove no M cars

The Audi TDI is fun from a go, but meh on the highway. For a smaller DD for most people though it will be a great powerplant. New Vsport powerplant is impressive and has the right amount of attitude in its mapping.

Buddies dad traded his 928 on the 8 series. My lust for both started WAY before I knew him though.

Ultimate layout of a car IMO. BIG doors and some space if you need person 3/4.

Those wheels look horrible on there.

I agree. Wheels suck. Was more speaking to the lines of the car.

The 928 was one of the coolest cars to me when I first saw then as a kid before I knew anything about cars.

You love the 928, but that isn't attractive?

I had better looking wheels too and slightly higher ride height.
