Rxonmymind Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Audi RS7 in blue This would be my second choice behind Lexus. If Lexus doesn't get their head out of the sand and stop charging an extra $20k for two extra doors between models and stop neutering their V8's I'll look elsewhere to buy.

mustang guy Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) I will be getting a car in the next 6 months or so. Here is my short list: 2016 Jaguar XE 35T ... What I will likely own: I did a factory tour of Range Rovers last summer in Solihull, UK, and we popped in to the Jaguar XE facility. It was mid-afternoon, and there wasn't a soul to be found in the building and all of the machines and robots were stopped even though all the lights were brightly on. I expected there was some missing "just in time" part that had stopped production. What I found out was that they were having 'Tea Time'. LOL The tour guide said "we Brits take our tea time seriously". The actual truth is that they mandate breaks in Solihull and not even mechanics are allowed to work through them. The idea is that the productivity is increased, folks don't get burned out, less injuries, and better employee retention. Great idea tea time, isn't it?

oldtimer Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Great idea tea time, isn't it? Sure, just like the siesta. Just get shot of their crappy tea and disgusting sandwiches they eat with it and we are good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learning the balance of your car and handling it's weight was a GREAT experience. To the credit of today's youth some young kids were out their with their mega HP Hondas learning but that was few & far between. Kudos on them.

mustang guy Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 My oldest son was the one who liked working on cars and trucks. Having that skill gave him confidense he would never have had. He got very good at doing brake jobs for his friends. I think every kid at Parkersburg High School got a free brake job done by him. He in turn taught them and so on. His hot rod was a black 07 WRX Subaru (non-STI). Now he drives an Audi. Still a turbo car, still AWD, and still black. This new car, is a LOT nicer though. His new 2017 on the left and his old 2012 on the right: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Favog Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Oh, that's an old pic. I took off the Snakes (park use only) and put on some Kryptonics Red 70mm for transportation. There's a couple of bruises on the bottom from gravel and a few curbs that weren't straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
