I’m completely stock and I’m not too far off from some of the big boys, and sometimes I’m ahead of them.

Yeah, people sleep on the Stingers. They're over 300hp & pretty light on their feet. I think if Kia lowered the MSRP on em just a tad they wouldn't be able to produce them fast enough.

Stinger looks hella good in its front end, but man that new G70 refresh is too fuego. Interior is nicer than the Stinger’s as well which ive never been a fan of.

I like that these last couple of pages show appreciation to Hyundai/Kia. Somewhere the Hemi Hang and M Bois crowd are laughing, but I like it.

Yup, plenty of hp to have fun & get into trouble with theAnd the 300hp is the 4-cylinder model. The GT is 365hp in the 3.3 tt v6.

I, for one, support & like Hyundai/Kia. That Palisade is a beautiful truck

Dear god no, Palisade looks atrocious. Telluride is a million times better in every way.

Maybe not so much in the SE or SEL trim but the Limited & Calligraphy(top of the line) trims, it's a gorgeous truck imo. Premium feel to the interior, seats about 8 I think, great ground clearance, 26mpg hgwy, nice bulky styling. Oh & no question, the Telluride is better in every way. I love the Telluride. Given the market, the Telluride is a $75k+ truck right now. The grey & especially the midnight edition is

Im just not a fan of the Palisade exterior at all, shape is meh, doesnt know if it wants to be boxy or rounder, headlights suck, tail lights suck. Errythang sucks. New Pathfinder even looks better.

Everything you dislike about it is what makes it so great to me. It's shape is boxy with rounded edges & gives it it's behemoth size with a grill to match. Headlights are sleek & the placement of the foglamps & drl's fill in the extra space in the front fascia. Tail lights have the Tellurides design language which is wonderful. New Pathfinder is another bulky boxy truck with road presence so I like that too.
Oh & the diamond mesh design on the interior door inserts is a nice touch. I don't like white cars much but this in white looks great to me.

Sunday was basically the last event for the season, and it was AWESOME!!! Cars & Coffee of Wilmington Delaware had their annual Toys for Tots run to Nemours Children's Hospital. Over $40K in toys in 3 big Amazon vans and over 70 cars, with most being exotics, having a police escort with I-95 closed for us for a unimpeded cruise to the hospital. It was awesome!
I had planned to just take my Mustang down there and take pics, and drop off my donation then my wife wanted to go so she took her Gallardo and we signed up for the drive. So glad we did. Here are some pics of some of the cars and I'll post a video someone took as well.
This video is great. All the cars getting on the ramp to 95N. And the stupid R8 driver directly behind my wife's Gallardo, who spun out!
Even though it was DANG cold out, it was a great event to help give kids who are in the hospital a brighter Christmas.
Love the pics man. So many beauties. Modern Lambos are nice but the older ones were some special. White one is a Diablo? Looks perfect. Love the plum GTR too. Your wife's Gallardo lookin
as always.

My boy got the new Civic and it had a $5k markup as well. With his lease numbers though I think he got away without paying for it. Still insane though.

Rental car for the week (PHX -> LA) . booked a full size car & they offered a free upgrade to the challenger 
These American cars are just great cruisers, decent stab for a V6 & feel like I'm sitting on a sofa. Definitely see why people are driving ignorant in these...

Finally got my slow turtle back after 1 month being down. I found a used transmission for $525, which total $830 after shipping and paid $1100 for labor but she’s back running.
Now time for me to read back on all I miss in this thread lol.

God damn pricks!
I'll chime in since, you all know, I sold Fords for over 23 years. I hate ADMs. Every Shelby I sold, with the exception of one (a 2016 that I had to buy from another dealer AT MSRP and had to add a little to it, to make it worth us getting, have been sold at list! Every GT500 I sold and GT350. Even a 2020 GT350 Heritage Edition! Bleep markups!Now that said, this dealer is full of ****! There is no Vehicle shortage for GT500s as they don't make a whole lot of them! Yes the huge stores get a good handful based on sales of prior Shelby and Muatangs, but most normal dealers get 1 or 2 units a model year (your guaranteed a car when you pay for the Shelby program, which when I left was I believe $2,000 to be able to sell them). Now this is a track pack car, so most places do it on this car with that package, but there are more places than people think that will sell one at sticker. Take the deal and run instead of letting it sit and pay floorplan interest.
The Maverick, now this dealer should be ashamed of themselves. The Maverick is supposed to be an affordable truck. This "Vehicle Shortage" markup basically negates that. And what the bleep is a "Millennium Package" and what crap do they include in the "Protection Package"?!! $1,200 worth of stuff? Yeah, don't think so. Probably about $200 worth of crap, that's what these packages include.
I drove a Maverick. Ecoboost one a few months ago. My lease is up in a few months but Ford has been offering 12 month extensions since getting cars is next to impossible. Plus Ford cut off the retail orders for the Hybrid (which is what I have now, a Plug-in Fusion Energi, and I LOVE the mileage from gas only) back in mid November, and I didn't know so I couldn't get an order in. So I'm hoping to get the extension to order a 2023 the 1st day they become available.
For the month, the Maverick will be a game changer. It truly will be. Rides like a Fusion but loads of room, plenty of visibility, and perfect utilitarian for many things (I plan on getting racks for kayaks and a sliding tonneau). But these dealers keep doing this crap, no one wants to deal with them. Most places are selling cars at list anyway. Just be happy for that dealer people! Don't gouge, as it looks bad!
Oh, and the price of that GT500 was $116k or so. As someone who loves Mustangs, loves my 2006 GT, and was "The Mustang Guy" at the dealer, where I sold cars all over the country because of my love for them...even I won't pay that for a Mustang. Too many other cars to buy for $116K! You may ask, what would I buy for the money? Easy answer! Lotus Evora GT! May not have 760 hp, but it's mid engined, with a Toyota motor that will go forever, unique, rare, hand built and frankly exotic! And you don't see them. Plus it's LIGHT! Like under 3,200 lbs! GT500?!! Just under 4,200!! The Shelby will pull away in the straights, but it won't catch the Lotus in the Twisties (and it is good for how heavy it is).
That's just my choice. Other choices, used C7 Z06, or a Cayman GT4. But I'll take the Evora GT! My attainable dream car. And as soon as I get off disability and go back to work (not selling cars) I'll be saving every freaking penny for one!

Dope upgrade! They're excellent for long trips. The seats are very well bolstered & wrap around you. Hella cushiony as well. I wouldn't mind having a V6 Challenger as a dailyRental car for the week (PHX -> LA) . booked a full size car & they offered a free upgrade to the challenger
