I don't think you should exactly build a machine, but buying low and adding parts is 99% a bad idea Cheep machines use cheep power supplies.

It would kill it at the mall and whole foods! NEVER. Fucking hate Lexus. Ugly, shitty interiors, and no Android Auto. X4 is the same chassis so the swoopy makes it smaller. Non-driveable for me. x6 is too big. ...wondering if the Macan has a decent back seat.

The SRT is the Hemi version!! But the V6 in the summit is plenty powerful. I cant say 0% interest and lifetime warranty suck either. I would think they might as well be considered a European company at this point. lol I saw a X3 yesterday and damn that thing is ugly for a beamer. SRT is regrettably too big and probably unwieldy for my wife. She wants as small as possible but with a back seat. If I wasn't 6'7" it wouldn't be so hard.

October 15, 20177 yr I also want a car for me that she drives. Then when we go anywhere together I will drive it. Also will personally use it for errands when she is home. If I can free up the Escalade for purely recreational use I can turn the wick up a bit more.
October 15, 20177 yr Don't have an extra garage stall for a toy atm...and hate driving her X3 with the whole family.

As in I might like that more than a cayenne, if you take out the right foot.

So I have to lean into need and not want. Also you know the whole rest of my life. I just need to get around for a few months without the weight of that 550 on my back. So stuck in the bottom levels of BMWs line up....

October 15, 20177 yr The 2017 seems like it would be pretty good. I doubt I'll be looking at '18s. I think I will be happier with a slow X3 than a slow 3 sedan. :-/ I'm going to be annoyed. At least it will all be less annoyed and safer than Helga.

I can speak from experience and tell you, it will quickly eat at you and you will begin to see your "economy" choice as the wrong choice.

I know. I'm kind of in a weird situation where I cannot have what I would like. Maybe I can just really really work my tongue and snatch a delux sport 335, x4, or x5. The 2017 x3 looks ok. Even with the 4cyl. I just have to remember it's basically a free car....
October 15, 20177 yr I still have the crotch rocket. I'll spend winter fucking with that and sell or make it comfy enough to be on. Maybe really sink deep into 911 research, find the right year and trim, then find that car.
October 15, 20177 yr Your experiences have taught me much Ryan. From watching you I am going to just tell myself that this is the DD.... And the sports car is in the shop. I don't know who's shop, but I'm sure they are getting her ready for me. Lol

The 6 with the sport package is nice, the 4 somewhat a toaster.
