Life is short, and there's definitely an argument to be made about how tomorrow is never promised and all that... but just make sure you look before you leap. If owning a Type R will bring you substantial joy on a daily basis then that's a strong case for what it's "worth" to you, but you also...

It's a pretty safe statement to say Porsche GT car values will go up over time and I did touch on the investment angle earlier where I claimed there are many better ways for an individual to make money than buying and selling rare cars, but the GT4 has been dead for a year already. You haven't...

The $100k+ mark panders to an entirely different demographic. These are not engaging sports cars you're listing. They're luxury GT cars at best and overrated German muscle cars at worst. The M3/M4 arguably could be (mostly because it's available with a manual, sort of...), but the G8x generation...

Yeah there's definitely some unconscious bias on any forum. But there are at least a handful of folks here who can at least relate to owning "higher tier" cars and still being drawn to this platform. There are many wonderful things about owning a Porsche sports car and I'd be a liar if I said I...

It's not a question of which is the better car. That's clearly obvious. It's what's the better fit. Personally I find multiple cars that offer similar experiences redundant, and useless. At the very least, see if you can swap your GT4 for a Spyder. It at least offers a substantially different...

DE5 = Integra Type S. My bad for the faux pas- totally dropped an Acura chassis code on a Honda forum! I guess I could update that old thread that I'm quite pleased with my "downgrade". I enjoy this car more than the 718 in 90% of driving situations. The exceptions being a tight autocross...

^Yeah that's my thread that's referenced for the very same 718 I referenced ;). I didn't end up in an FL5, but I did end up in a DE5. There are distinct differences, I won't try to talk you out of an FL5 if that's what you're set on but a DE5 works better for me personally (it didn't exist at...

The FL5/DE5 is interesting because it is kind of in uncharted territory. It's supposed to be an "everyman's" sports car, but is priced out of most average enthusiasts' price range. Where it gets interesting though, is that as a sports car, it's actually a great value and objectively can hold its...

Thanks for this. Been eyeing these for a while.

My Integra Type S hit me with a lot of nostalgia the first couple drives I had in it, in a good way. I never owned an old STI/Evo, but have driven some on occasion and did own a 2015 STI. A little bit of turbo lag, smaller dimensions than some of the other modern cars I've gotten used to, and...

Never considered myself a track rat and technically counting just true "track days" on a circuit, I'm still in the 3-5 category... But counting autocross and trackcross, that figure jumps up significantly, where I've averaged ~4 events per year for the past 4-5 years. I'll probably continue at...

Fair question, but honestly probably a little too vague for people to really be too helpful. Personally, I think the vast majority of people on forums like this really don't know much beyond the casual person on the street who isn't even into cars. You combine that with an open forum where...

You're coming off as a bit defensive. Just a bit.

Looks and sounds promising, but it should be international law that exhaust videos are illegal without drive-by audio.

I have to say that now at 3500 miles, I don't notice it nearly as much anymore. Could be psychosis, could just be quieter. It is still there, I just have to actively think about it to notice it.

OOOf yeah you got ripped off @$1000 for filter changes. My dealer charged ~$330 for oil and filter, probably ~$500 if the air filter was thrown in. Yes, that's insane... but $1000 is flat out robbery at gunpoint. If your car was PDK they may have done a trans filter/service as well, at least...

Preach. I wasted so many thousands of dollars it's embarrassing to be specific, trying to figure out a one-size-fits-all solution to my enthusiast vehicle needs. I've had some great cars, don't get me wrong (10 of them since 2015...)- but with bills adding up trying to successfully guide two...

Part of why I love the Savagegeese channel is their self-awareness. They drive a ton of cars, put out a ton of videos, and they know that only the most hardcore Type R/Type S fans are going to make it through all of this one. But they did it anyway, and it is much appreciated. I think in the...

Yet another shining example of where we're at as a society. For some reason, people just love to tell everyone how much they don't like something.

What a fantastic gift. I love me a Casio. Very, very cool.
