The AM is sexy as hell in their commercial featuring the same color.
I'm quite fond of my GTI, but the Golf R would be nice for AWD.

BMW seems to be turning the corner out of blandness again, so I'm always liking the M3 coupes. They got real boring up to 2011 models.
I get to drive a lot of different vehicles, I just love seeing the quirks each manufacturers have (I detail cars at a company that makes automotive aftermarket part magazines).

Always been big on German vehicles, but Ford seems to be the first domestic company coming back with appealing designs to me. They just have to nuke the sync system.

Thing I don't get about BMW is that Top Gear comes out and says the 1M is one of the greatest cars they ever made and (as a result?) demand was gigantic but they quit making it. From what I understand, there was still a huge waiting list of people inquiring about it.

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

Probably a Ford GT. Maybe a 911.

 

[Bolt Vanderhuge]

I'm all about being hyped for your team's big win but I think the "Official Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl XLVII Champions Pet Bandana" is where I'm going to draw the line.

 

[BlackGhost]

Pet Bandana?

It was meant to be a limited production car. They didn't intend to manufacture it for longer than a year.




Excited for the Cleveland auto show. I go each year, nice to be able to get in most cars and get a sense of them.

Hopefully they'll bring it back....supposedly that line they made it on was converted into the X1 line. I know car companies don't make a whole lot of money on their sports cars but still...

 

[Fox318]

Probably a Ford GT. Maybe a 911.

I love the GT but it would suck to tour in.

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

Joey Flaccos, is your brother on the commercial on tv? Didn't really pay attention

Yeah, when they show fans celebrating, he's in front with a purple headband and boa. He's a dork.

He called me today to say when he was hammered the day after the game and bought a bunch of Ravens SB hats that were 75% off, but since he was drunk he didn't realize they were fitted or had sizes. They're all 8 3/8.

:me! what a goof

 

[Vyer]

You weren't kidding about that. I slowed down to switch lanes the other day (because good luck finding anything here) and this lady laid down on the horn until I was able to get over because I wasn't going speed limit +20. Then this other guy laid on the horn because I didn't immediately let him into the far right lane on a feeder road....traffic was at a dead halt anyway.

And then today I was turning right into a shopping center and the lady behind me couldn't wait the extra 2 seconds to slow down until I was done turning so she passed me in the left oncoming lane and damn near hit a big truck that was turning left out of another road.

These are just a few of the many, many stories I have and I've only been here for a few weeks.

lol. Drivers really suck here. Unfortunately there's so much traffic you have to spend a lot of time with them. How's the transition been?

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

That's a GTX1, not actually made by Ford.

 

[cajunator]

Neither is the GT.

Neither is the GT.

What? Yes it is...

Do we still talk about football in here?

Did we ever? I can't remember.

 

[jakncoke]

I still feel we talk about a lot of football in here. Its just sometimes we get distracted for a couple hours by other topics

 

[bionic77]

Do we still talk about football in here?

We all agreed to stop once the Ravens won it all.

Didn't you get the memo?

 

[Talon]

This is a safe place to discuss other topics without fearing some numbnut trotting in here trying to start an argument.

 

[Rorschach]

Do we still talk about football in here?

It's been this way since the move. This is how community threads are.

 

[eznark]

Do we still talk about football in here?

Are you asking because you're worried someone will bring up the Bucs?

 

[Alligatorjandro]

There isnt any football related things to talk about

 

[jakncoke]

There isnt any football related things to talk about

We could always talk about what happened on January 26, 1986, January 26, 1997, February 3, 2008, February 5, 2012

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Lets talk about how awful that new Jaguars logo is. :smh:

 

[Talon]

Better than the old logo with those weird smudges.

 

[jakncoke]

Gata how bad did this hurt your dad? I was going to say you but you were like 2 at the time

 

[BlackGhost]

I actually quite like this version of it

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Gata how bad did this hurt your dad? I was going to say you but you were like 2 at the time

I dont appreciate this.

 

[Tamanon]

Gata how bad did this hurt your dad? I was going to say you but you were like 2 at the time

I swear that game was the end of it all for us. It's like humiliating Marino in his last game just put us on the Football Gods' shit list.

 

[JABEE]

Jim Harbaugh prevented Ed Donatell from interviewing with the Eagles or the Saints for DC. He's being kind of a dick since those places would give him a promotion to defensive coordinator. I guess that's just the business.

 

[jakncoke]

I just realized I accused Gata of being a Dolphins fan instead of Jags. Mental derp.

You still seemed to have done the trick. lol.

Paging Mark Brunell.

At first, I thought you knew that Gata's father was a Dolphins fan. That would put his transition to the Dark Side make more sense. A rebellious teenage alligator looking to upset his suffering Dolphin father. Right into the arms of Tom Brady he went. He didn't even have the decency to pick a team outside of the AFC East like the Jaguars. It wouldn't cause enough conflict to satisfy Alligator's taste for human misery.

 

[bionic77]

Did any of you bastards manage to get a copy of Fire Emblem for 3DS?

I can't find a copy of this game anywhere.

Fucking Nintendo...

 

[jakncoke]

We started 5-3 that year and finished 6-10. Fucking Troy Edwards.

Why didn't Nintendo anticipate the sales success of this game? They should have delayed it.

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

The sports talk radio here in the Bay Area is still hilarious. It's now Thursday, and all the callers want to talk about is how they got "screwed," and my favorite, that there was an NFL conspiracy to get Ray Lewis a ring. Even the host said today, "People, I know we're still grieving, but it's about time we get to the last stage; acceptance"

Donatell doesn't seem to care:

“Nothing is better than this. I’d give up the years of advancement to be a part of this. There is so much that goes along with it. This is the highest high. This is why you coach,” Donatell said, via CSNBayArea.com.

All the new fans dont even know that ray got a ring back in 2000. Damn casuals

They played in the first double halftime game. 49ers had every opportunity!

 

[bionic77]

No, but it is definitely one of the best games I have ever played.

I am not GAF. I don't give a fuuuuuuuuuuuuck about sales. All I want is to be to play this fucking game. I might have to break down and download this shit if I can't find it by Sunday.

 

[JABEE]

My dad is also a Patriot fan.

There is still time to repent Gata.

Has the Fire Emblem franchise ever been that big of a seller?

Probably not, but shortages of this magnitude always seem to happen with Nintendo handheld games alone. Super Mario 3D Land last Christmas and Nintendogs when it first came out come to mind.
