my dads first brand new car... then later became my first car. i hated it then but miss it now.

now why would anyone go from m3 to z4 hahaha

the f80 has been pretty reliable


behold the f80 replacement... i hear toyotas awd is legendary in the overlanding community

i asked for the combo breaker :okay:

Tell me your old without telling me your old :badpokerface:

Congrats on the new car!

Curious what made you move from performance / sports cars to the Corolla Cross?

Is everything OK at home?

wtf... I went with my sister to test drive the Corolla Cross when she needed a new car, she was excited when I told her about it... but we were both totally dismayed with the shite interior and too small sizing.

Given how little it was to move up to the RAV-4 it was a no brainer, so she went that route instead.

Not sure what exactly you meant by 'combo breaker' but that's the common theme I saw in all your previous cars. Maybe that and a front lip? What is 'combo breaker'?

And how are you going to lower your Corolla Cross?

The Z is a 2 door

^ ... oh, I see ... 'spot the difference' game.

what spec of TE's to fit on the corolla-x?

Bro, you can DM me if you need someone to talk to. I still don't have a Golf, I know what despair is.

Don't suffer in silence.

then BOOM
White / Grey Toyota Cross

What's the biggest Pro that led to the upgrade from E55 to E63s?

The 3 big pros would be better sound, better cornering, and better build quality.

Although, it's no faster and the low end torque just isn't the same compared to the E55.

:fulloffuck:

due to ongoing (non life threatening) health issues my gf has moved back home to take care of her aging ESL parents. so until we find a more permanent solutions we've been in a semi long distance relationship. i racked up 35k km last year. these long trips back and forth in a lowered car with aggresive wheels and sticky tires really took a toll on me and the cars paint. at almost 100k km, it was a good time to get something more reliable and more forgiving with high km

at the time of ordering the wait for the rav4 was too long. the cross's size wasnt an issue. the price difference is like $7k, still a good chuck of money.


hopefuly a set of te37xt






all correct but wasnt the answer i was looking for

are the seats in it comfortable?

nvh??

used rx/nx or cx5 wasn’t viable?

If you haven't done so already, make sure you type in the comments how easy it is to export, or if your willing to help, etc

Badhob'z trip to SF
 

As you guys know, i wanted to take a "fun" car down to Oregon Coast/Norcal Coast and was gonna take the wife and the ratrolla but after reading all the crap about crime in the bay area and portland i decided i needed something more low key.

So i looked into renting and it wasnt really worth it. Also as 68style pointed out to me, there are limitations as to how long you can rent/how far you can go from YVR in the states. So i stole her dad's sc430. its 21 years old but it was the perfect companion on this trip.

The wife also had commitments last week so she bailed. Which in hindsight was for the best anyways as there was no way i could have piled on the miles with her in the car.

I did the entire trip leaving wednesday morning and coming back last night. 2100 miles in total (3379km) spending 389 USD/523CAD on gas. The sc430 was able to get 28mpg/10L/100km so it was quite economical.

I literally turned up the tunes, dropped the top and enjoyed myself for 3 days

I went through Aberdeen WA last time on the way to ocean shores and found it quite rustic and cute. The city turned into a crack den now with homelessness everywhere

This Becker building is the tallest building in Aberdeen and has an interesting history dating back 100 years. Its also completely closed down due to all the wackjobs infesting the surrounding area.

Astoria is beautiful as always. I love driving over this bridge

Not far from Astoria is the wreck of the peter iredale along the coast.

Cannon beach and the rest of Oregon coast was excellent. I really needed this to refill my batteries.

I stopped by the Marin Civic Center due to it being Frank Lloyd Wright's last designed building. It also was the set of my favorite movie of all time, GATTACA.

Ended it in SF with the typical shot

the seats are pretty comfortable, but i havent gone on a long drive yet.
nvh isnt great but its what youll expect from a $30k taxed in car.
at the time of ordering used car prices were still kinda high, so i was willing to wait and pay msrp .

My most recent (short-term) ride:
