Car Love Thread

[superdog]

Figured I’d start a new one for today. If you are so inclined, please post some pics of your own. A little story is always fun too. Pickups, SUV’s, classics, exotics, muscle etc. love for all cars.

As evidenced through my tenure here, I’m a big car lover. I’ve had a hell of a car journey. I’d like to believe I’ve finally got my perfect set up.

On top of that, I started GS Motor Club as a bit of a hobby. It’s been a lot of fun. So these cars I’m posting essentially revolve around that.

Sure, maybe a bit of flex going on. Hard to deny that. But really it’s just a sharing of my hobby and my passion for cars. I enjoy looking at, reading about, and learning from others more so than I do my own. Hence one of the reasons to start this new thread.

Brabus G550 - to haul gear to and from shows. Heck of a show car.
Cayanne Turbo - the daily. Just getting new wheels and tints and maybe a black skirt along the bottom. More pics when I get her back.
AMG GTR - the track car. The hammer.
Porsche 992 Turbo S Cab - the other daily. The scalpel. So fast. So precise.

Beautiful cars

I have had a few



My first Mercedes, great little car, hated to part with it.


My first BMW, this one was fun and relatively few problems, made the mistake of moving up



My last BMW, total nightmare and will never own the brand again



Went back to Mercedes, car was flawless, only traded it because I could



My current car and she is a dream

Seth, great lineup there! My Dad is a serious car nut so growing up I was around a mix of classics, exotics and luxury. I actually learned to drive stick on '91 Testarossa, man I wish he had kept that car.

I'm more of a practical guy; Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Highlander and a '95 Jeep YJ Sahara for the weekends.

Big by some standards, small by others, alright by me, 2018 A5. Love this car and it fits me like a glove.

Hey Seth - collection is becoming epic. As they say...find something you like and you won't work a day in your life. So happy you're living the best you.
Gonna be a lot of content in this thread and I'll be happy to add to it later.
Granted...it's all fun and games until FastMD shows up and drops the mic.......

[huncho]

i really like the 992, think they did a great job making it look wider and more aggressive, and i think the turbo especially looks amazing

surprised you got rid of the lambo, you had the evo right? any plans to add a lambo/ferrari back in the future? your collections always have all the dream cars lol

It was your love of Mercedes that brought me back to the brand. Glad it did. Loving their cars. Thinking about adding the GT sedan at some point in the future.

Love their cars. Great tech. Reliable. And ooze quality.

Love it. Love the color too!

Was just thinking we needed something like this!

I've said it before, but I've never been a car guy in the past. Picked up a BMW 135i for fun last summer and it turned me on to things a bit speedier. Seeing the C8 in pictures was enough to say "that's the one!". We got rid of the 135i and are impatiently waiting for the C8, which will be here in Sept (hopefully).

Current family movers are an Audi A6 and an Infiniti QX60. Those won't change for awhile.

Ha. Yes!!! On all that.

And need to reach out to the good doctor. I miss him.

saw a few C8s in the wild finally and they legitimately look like supercars. crazy bang for the buck

This is my third Mercedes and I'm never going to switch to another maker. Several years ago I purchased a Porsche Macan-S and it was a nightmare right out of the gate. Dumped it within 3 months, went back to Mercedes again and could not be happier.

I’m in love with the 992. It’s truly an incredible car. The looks, the performance. Everything.

I don’t miss the evo. That car was epic. Truly epic. The sound the drive. Everything. But it was soooo much attention. Too much. Clearly I don’t mind attention. But this was another level. Dangerously so.

It also had zero space. And was very uncomfortable.

I’ll go back to exotic someday I think. But that’s a big maybe. I rented a McLaren 600lt for a weekend in Miami. Wasn’t a fan.

I’d likely do a Ferrari Roma or something.

While the 992 is rocket ship fast and blows the doors off most any car, including exotic, bring the fastest isn’t my biggest priority. I enjoy the drive. The twists and turns and the feeling a car inspires. I like to be on the road for long drives. A lot of exotics fail in that.

I think Ferrari more than anything wins in that category and likely the next one. Hopefully not for a long time. I’m exhausted. Lmao.

My Wrangler that I bought new in 2012. Took me everywhere I needed her to. All 180,000+ miles. Did all the maintenance and repairs myself.

Was planning on keeping her forever but age and ruthless off-roading caught up to her. Upkeep was starting to take up a lot of time and money. I also take care of mom and she was having a hard time getting in. It was a hard decision to make but I sold her. Thankfully, Jeep’s retain value really well and I almost got what I paid for her.



Here’s the current daily driver. My first Subaru and what a great car! After breaking her in, I decided I could squeeze a lot more performance out of her for relatively cheap. After a few days work, she now runs on ethanol. Planning on doing auto cross in the fall.

Also finally cleaned up the 3rd bay in the garage and planning on picking up a weekend car for myself. Undecided but it’s between a 718GTS, 992 GT3, or stay Japanese and go NSX. Will likely be asking you for advice on the above Seth!

I sold my wife’s macan S after a few months did t like it one bit. My cfo has a Macan gts and I love it.

Macan is a great vehicle. The S too. Just depends on a lot. Porsche in general is imo the pinnacle of cad making. On pretty much every level.

Hoping you and your wife are doing well
All the best,

Oh, and the newest MB for the missus
Nicest we’ve ever had

i could definitely see the attention being cool at first but getting annoying. i feel like the 992 turbo s is probably the best all around car from what everyone is saying. insanely fast but also a very good daily and not too flashy

Thanks and completely agree. Yes the GT is still on my list, perhaps in the future

All three of my Mercedes have been flawless

My daily drivers!

I saw a gunmetal grey looking AMG GTR when I was out on Woodward yesterday. Tried snapping a pic(he was at the stop light while I was filling up) wasn't quick enough to snap it unfortunately! But my first thought was of you and to get a pic to post it on one of the car threads. Such a cool car

Aww I liked your 135, I hope the c8 is all you dreamed of and more!

Wow, some absolutely super cars on display, keep em coming, I love looking at the pics. I got a new Mini Countryman last month, absolutely love it. The colour is called "Enigmatic black," sometimes it looks deep black, others, like in the photo it looks deep blue.
