Oddly it was supposed to be more red ,it was even red or more red in the can,but after I sprayed it it was orange .I sent pics to TCP global where I ordered it from and they sent me another gallon of paint..but I lived with the orange due to how much work it is to redo. I could spray over it but then you have to color sand the whole car ,compound it all ,and buff up to shine..it's a ton of time.
I closed my garage door on a white van I had, with a TON of flake in the paint. Of course it wasnt the bottom of the garage door with the rubber and the padding, but it had to be a metal bracket. Gouged a good chunk off the trunk lid. I purchased 4 bottles of touch up directly from Honda. I sanded, primed, applied a white, then a flake, then clear coated. I forget how many times I sanded and attempted this, but I f***ed up every step of the way. It honestly would have been better if I used a bottle of White-Out.
I think the orange is sharp as f***
Is there actually a such thing as an SUV that is fun to drive under $85,000 (or at all, for that matter)?
I assume some of the Audi SUVs and Macan T would be fun to drive but to find one to test drive is hard in orlando where I live.
Yeah those are hard to find right now.
I was really pushing mine the other day on MA 2. Up near redline in 2nd going uphill, made a lot of noise. I. Regret. Nothing.
It's much, much faster. But if your primary measure of a car's enjoyment is straight-line speed, then honestly you are not really the target audience for a WRX in the first place.
This is where Teslas shine; they are exceptional daily drivers.
Biggest Genesis sedan you can find and afford, and when i say afford i mean reasonably. I’m much more conservative with these types of purchases though. Could i have doubled the price of my last car purchase? Sure. But i just don’t see the value in it.
If you're open to a sedan, the Audi S4 has a v6 with very good power, is AWD of course as well, so utilizes the power very well. (The rear sports differential make this a very agile sedan on the twisties)
This is actually a good bet.
...your post made me look up used R8's to get an idea of how expensive the absolutely GLORIOUS open-gated manual tranny versions are nowadays. I found several in the $85K range but none with the V10 unfortunately, only the V8.
I test drove the S5 and the X3 M40i, as well as some others. I ordered the 23 X3 M40i. I loved the versatility of the SUV and honestly the X3 delivered the power better than the S5. S5 felt laggy sometimes, X3 was glorious. Audi was much nicer on the inside and I liked the technology package better.
Tesla Model Y, best car and purchase I've ever made. I had a Model 3 for awhile but had a third kid so we got a third row Y. It's quick as heck, has enough space for everything we need, cheap as heck to drive (spent $150 to drive every day over the past month.) It handles well for a 3 Row SUV and will dust every on ramp you'll find.
Can you get those for $85,000? Just asking, I genuinely don't know.
No worries, Teslas buying system is pretty straight forward so their prices are pretty static as per the website (they can change down the line)
