I am going to become everything you hate. That is my life goal and you have helped me find my purpose.

[RabidRat]

Every time Hobz explains his hatred for Porsches, I half expect him to post the next day in the Latest Pics of My Whip thread.

"Surprise, GT3!"

So 3 cylinder in the Boxster, and a flat 4 turbo in the Mini, got it.

Agreed, that’s something hobz would totally do just to troll us.

[Badhobz]

I’ll buy one purely as an investment maybe. But I’ll likely Chris brown that fat ass bitch every time I see it sitting next to my other proper looking car.

Just start wailing on that piece of shit like a mad man. Fuck you beetle !!! God I hate everything about you.



Did I tell you guys I’m probably gonna buy a macan for the wife next year ?! I’m gonna fucking kill myself afterwards. Most loathsome car purchase of my life. Good luck with that jd power survey afterwards Porsche. I’m gonna give you the worst score possible.

I am loving this!

The gas one or the EV one?

[Badhobz]

Fuck no. Never a stinking EV. I might just get her a stupid turbo S or something ridiculous to troll her and in turn troll myself. Stupidest thing in the world to spend over 100k and then “save gas”. Shut the hell up. You ain’t saving shit. One battery replacement and all those years of gas savings is kaput.

[RabidRat]

"...guys I bought two Taycans, one for me and one for the wife.

Oh nono it's for investment only. I hate that it drives so good."

[bcrdukes]

I remember Badhobz taking out a Taycan in HK. He hated it so much, he was visually upset. I think he really will buy two.

[Badhobz]

FUCK THIS SHIT!


Drives a 20k corolla around in Uluru Oz and im smiling like a retard.


Or in Osaka JP.

Lousy ass porsches. PORCH's YES PORCH. FUCK YOU AND YOUR PORCH's.

[RabidRat]

Wow your scowl in the mirror lol.

What was so terrible about the Taycan though? Also being stuck in HK traffic seems like it would induce misery in any vehicle

[bcrdukes]

The emotions from the Corolla are nothing but a mirage.

The Taycan - he's upset that he isn't in the Ferrari in front of him in HK traffic.

[Badhobz]

its going to be a rough 2026 gents. the day I take delivery of her lame macan, if they even so much as hint sending me a "delivery experience" guy, I will fucking smash that piece of shit right through the dealership window and hopefully take out their gay ass GT3 in the process.

[bcrdukes]

European delivery experience in 2026?

Nothing! It's a great car, just like most of these modern PORCHs. It's powerful as a Nuremberg Hitler Rally due to its instant torque. All four tires goes up in smoke and it gives you mean whiplash. The interior is gorgeous (although too much piano black plastic), and the exterior, while looking like a bitch ass beetle, at least has four doors.

it doesn't mean I have to like it though! fuck you fancy beetle company.

(just like objectively there is nothing wrong with the 911... I just have an irrational hatred of them.)

Likely the only thing more satisfying than ranting about bitch ass stupid beetles, is doing to their faces in hometown Stuttgart. Preferably with a lot of people around.

[Badhobz]

^you mean how everyone was like at the recent beetle meat while I loudly walked around saying how stupid and ugly their cars are?

id go punch andy preuninger in the face if I could. FUCK YOU OLD MAN! just make a new chassis and styling! stop beating this dead horse.

[JDMDreams]

Why not cayenne, how are you gonna explain to the family you got the base model again. Dishonor

[Badhobz]

cuz my midget says shes tired of climbing into the RX due to how tall it is (also why the cayenne is out). I got her running boards and still not easy for her to shove her folks into the SUV.

The macan is the lowest SUV that they make and the turbo S is even lower.

edit: I just saw that you cant even opt for the turbo on the gasoline! WHAT THE FUCK!!!?!!!!? You call it a fucking turbo but its an EV only!?!?!? FUCK YOU PORSCHE!!! GOD I HATE YOU EVEN MORE. now I'm stuck with a GTS!?!?!!? A GT FUCKING S!?!?!!!

IM LOSING MY FUCKING SHIT HERE!

[bcrdukes]

Have you both seen and sat in the Macan?

[RabidRat]

Does the Cayenne have air suspension though? The R1T lowered 3" from default to kneeling mode (and 6" from offroad!), so when I combined that with running boards (rock rails w/ steps), that made it subsequently reasonable to climb in and out of.

It's a sign, man. Time for an EV. Embrace your Chinese heritage. Spend a lot to save a little.

Seriously though, there are some upsides:

• Your wife won't have to spend any more time at sketchy gas stations: just plug it in at home at the end of the day: just like her phone. Actually depending on avg trip length, it's even less often. My wife only plugs in once a week.
• No worries about warming up the car in the morning. Or feeling bad that to move it 5 feet for whatever reason, you turned on the engine only to shut it off 10 seconds later.
• No more breathing fumes in the morning before the cat's warmed up.
• A lot less time wasted going to the dealership: service intervals are basically never.
• Incomparably low cabin noise level: though an enthusiast would miss the motor / exhaust noise, for anyone else it's just harder to have a conversation. Her folks would probably have a better time.
• Usually more cabin roominess & cargo volume given the length of the vehicle, because of the packaging efficiency.

[bcrdukes]

I suggested to Badhobz offline to consider Acura. He just blocked me.

[whitev70r]

Why not a gently used Panamera Turismo ? Should be nice and low for wifey.

It's a good suggestion, but it's too low for her.
