Literally my exact setup. 750whp built full size long bed Duramax with 3 very unreliable track cars.

I needed a good tow vehicle to tow all my broken cars from shop to shop :P

Yes. I prefer mine 100% over driving any of my cars. No worries about potholes, curbs, driveways, etc

​​​​​​​I have my wifes Traverse Redline AWD for practicality. Shes usually parked at the end of the driveway so its always more convenient to take hers for regular travels. I guess it can tow 5k so may have to put that to use at some point.

Considering he said "weekend car", this seems to fit. Being in PNW, Id love to have a "non-****ty-weather" car.

Solid car Marc! There's definitely a part of me that misses my old 135i. Just be sure to dump it before the warranty is up haha JK

She arrived last night! I think I did very well, unknown to the Ford dealer apparently, it has the "executive package" and a full PPF on the front and mirrors etc. Plus a weather tech mat on the trunk floor.

I think its a keeper. Sans the 2023 M2, these cars are a dying breed. Manual, rear drive, twin turbo petrol car... And the new M2 is 300 lbs heavier and I dont think the giant screen will age well for the new model.

Given my average mileage per year, this thing should last me until 2144.

Same exact spec for sale on BAT right now with 3k more miles. Will be watching to see where the market goes from here on out.

This thread doesn't belong here... but I cant help feel like this is winning. Granted I'm an old guy (turn 40 this year), but it none the less feels good to see these 4 girls (one is a dog)in one shot.

Nice pick up. I was looking at the same car before the Supra but decided I wanted to try a car not based from an economy car for the first time in my life, so I went Supra.

It’s funny all the evo die hards are moving to bmw’s now.

They also AutoX and track super well too. Nothing wrong with having a backup when the Evo inevitably breaks

Yeah this thing is torquey and the brakes are massive. Can see with some weight reduction, track tires, and supporting mods it could be a monster.
