Has anyone owned both? Love to know the pros and cons of both.
Thanks

Hi I am a 22 year old male who absolutely loves cars and I have a form of autism but I can still drive. I am a great driver and I’ve been driving for a couple of years now (since 2021 I think) and I have been through two cars. My first car was a 2000 Toyota Camry LE. It handled like a champ and I think it had over 200,000 miles on it or something like that and I had some issues with the car such as EGR valve issues, coolant and misfiring issues. I was able to fix the coolant and misfiring issue but I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with the EGR valve issue and I’ve tried to replace a few parts that could have caused that but it didn’t go away. After that, I then sold that one and got rid of it and I went to my second car which is currently a 2018 GMC Acadia SLT which used to be my grandparents car before they handed it over to me and got them a new one. I think it has around 65,000-70,000 miles on it and it has nothing wrong with it. I just have to replace some things like the tires and fix the ac or charge it. Even though there’s nothing wrong with it, I am considering about trading it in or maybe sell it and save the money for my first sports car. I also have a huge diecast model car collection that has over 730 cars in it and its value is worth around $9,000. I think my trade in/selling value on my current car is about $8K-$10K so I think I have $18,000-$20,000 in value all together right now? I’m thinking about selling my model car collection at the end of the year or early next year once the value of my collection starts growing a little more and I’m thinking about trading in or selling my current car and saving all of that money up towards my first sports car. I was curious to know what everyone on here thinks on what I should go for and save up for? My budget for my first sports car is around $25,000 at least and I want one with low mileage and that will last me forever before I can get another car. I’m thinking about getting one with a automatic transmission with paddle shifters for manual shifting because idk how to drive a manual with a clutch or work on one yet but I still want the fun of manual shifting. I also want one that’s super easy to work on and upgrade to add more power and such and sounds good too. I have been looking at Ford Mustang GT’s and Toyota GR86’s lately but I’m just not sure what I should consider on looking at. I’m also a big guy as well and I am around 360 lbs but I’m working on losing weight. I would like to see if there’s anything that I can possibly be able to fit in as well. I have driven a sports car before and I’ve drove a Lamborghini Huracan before and a Ford Mustang GT Fast Back and I was able to fit in them perfectly fine. I’m just searching for something to get a good feel for performance driving for the first time (well second time).

If I had a McLaren GTS, I had definitely take it to the hills for a weekend.
If you had a McLaren GTS for a weekend, where would you go?

I absolutely love my 2020 C63 Coupe because:

It sounds amazing (main reason)
It’s a stunner
It’s luxurious inside

Unfortunately I’ll be selling up because I’m moving to Houston,TX and from all accounts unless you have an oversized truck you are a second class citizen and have less constitutional rights.

Question: what is an alternative to the C63 that will tick the above boxes (especially engine sound) and still be suitable for Houston. Or should I just say f it and get the same car?

Anyone know the best way to get some methanol, i have a methanol injection e92 and wanna get a bunch for a good price not looking for industrial grade or anything.

Pick one car, any car, but it is the last and only car you can drive for the rest of your life.

Which car would win in a race on a highway or city, BMW M5 cs or AMG Gt63s e performance 4 door coupe?

I recently lost my Celica GTS(RIP Nova), it was totaled. It was my daily and first ever car. I’m damn near mourning it. The Celica market where I am (FL) isn’t great. I’ve got 5k and still I’m never fast enough to grab one off marketplace. Even surrounding states (I got desperate) aren’t good. So I’d like to look at some other options. I’m picky, I know that already but anyone would be after owning that beaut.

I’m looking for what the title says, gas mileage doesn’t have to be perfect but reliability and somewhat affordable are important factors to me. I have no problem doing regular maintenance but I don’t want a car that’ll turn into a project car.

Now the hard part, I want it to be sleek but not excessively round, I don’t like pop up headlights (Miata’s are mostly off the table) or the inset round headlights I see sometimes, I also won’t be getting a soft top.

I like 7th gen Celicas, but not the 6th because they have those inset headlights. The 3rd gen Honda Preludes look good as well despite the pop up headlights, I only like the sleek look but I wouldn’t get one due to the headlights. I also like third gen Eclipses.

I’d prefer something in the early to mid 2000s range. I’m not looking for something that’s too much older than that. Like I said I know I’m picky, but I’d love some options

Looking to spend around: 5-7k

yeah ik what you all are thinking, no I am not insane and what I'm saying is just my opinion . not every car has to look phenomenal and it is still pretty fast and decent interior too. I mean if I had the money I would buy it for a daily.

Looking to buy my first Porsche and would love some advice from owners.

My dream car has always been a 911, but I’m not there yet. I have $15–20k to spend, which would mainly be a fun/weekend car.

I’m considering a Boxster, 944, or whatever else makes sense in this price range.

For those who have owned multiple Porsches:

What would you recommend as a first Porsche?

Any specific years/models/engines to look for or avoid?

Would love to hear what you guys think!

Are these worth buying?

Am a french car enthusiast who especially enjoy 80s/90s cars. Own a e30 325i as a daily driver and only car that is now restored in nearly perfect condition.

Watching a lots of videos, especially restoration projects by shops, I have my lot of US cars content consumption.

It looks like everything there is dirt cheap and I'm interested to know if it's true.

In that regard, I'd like, if you live in the US, if you can share roughly what job/career you work on and what your car(s) are and what part of the budget they've been eating. The idea is not to speak in raw numbers as it doesn't means much one country to another.

I'll start for the comparison in France, I'm an pretty successful engineer, I am in the top 10% earners, no inheritence unfortunately, and my e30 have required around 3 years of putting money aside car+restoration all together (no loan, but with heavy budgeting). It eats, now, in fuel consumption + maintenance (which I do myself), around 10% of my net monthly income. My e30 is considered a relatively premium collectible in its current condition. Most of it is fuel consumption due to the high fuel prices in France.

I couldn't reasonnably afford a second cool car right now. And definitely not a modern sportscar, let alone a brand new one (taxes are crazy out there in new cars). Just saw a video of dudes accidentally buying a e34 540i 5 speed manual "accidentally" for a ridiculously low amount of money when in France that kind of deal would be virtually impossible and the price to pay would be easily 10x what they paid for. And this kind of youtube content is plentyful on the internet.

So what about you guys ? Is it true, as an example, that my ownership experience could be achieved with a regular 9 to 5 job and we're (the french) definitely fell off that much economically ? Or is it just youtube/social media sensationalism ?

anybody know a record 1/4 mile time for a 435i
looking to break it, but hard to find a solid answer on a record time

What’s the best garage combo for a couple in the northeast 150k or under? Just my wife and I, no kids. We can share a car but having two has benefits.

Already have a 718 gts 2.5 but am considering adding a 2018 macan turbo or 2018 Panamera turbo by winter. Or stay with just one car and do a 991 turbo or 991.2 gts for around 130-150k?

What do you think is the best one or two car combo for a couple in NJ? Sports car fun with some all season weather practicality balanced in. What would you do! Feel free to suggest any options I haven’t thought of!

I’m leaning towards keeping the 718 gts and adding a cpo 2018 Panamera turbo for 70k.

Mine

Curious to know what do you think is the better sounding car? Mazda RX7 FD or the Lexus LFA?
