          The new Volvo line-up is extremely impressive, IMO. Eric should check out the new S60 & V60 T8 Polestar.

            new volvo stuff is rad. I really appreciate how modest theyve stayed with their styling. I feel like newer volvos are pretty underrated. I drove a "polestar tuned" c30 and the thing freakin rips

              I ended up getting a 435i m sport a few months ago. It almost meets every requirement of the M2 and at less than half the price. also the m2 doesn't come in red so that's the impasse. all sports cars should come in red.

              i cant see spending that much for a used tesla. And I've autox against the original tesla and it was murdered by an automatic e30 convertible.

                        Agreed. Love it when the hills are nice and green.

                        I was actually trying to do a day trip to Sugar bowl or Boreal also cus it snowed like 3 feet in the last week. Unfortunately, my damned subaru needs a new turbo. Wastegate is no bueno. Who knew this car would cost more in maintenance than my Porsche?

                            I've definitely been happy for AWD the last couple days with the rain.

                                yup! not a ton though because I can't actually lock it. need to rebuild the lock cylinder and get central locking working from the trunk lock.
