They don't send those here. Chances are the entire company could be too beta to send them here.

Not too sure about El Mech's choices. All the nice cars seem to be beta, the ugly ones alpha.
The Jag looks awesome, very impressive and will stand out everywhere.
Pure alpha in my book.

Well 30 years of working on them tells me that every single one of them had beta owners. Not just regular betas 10th degree black belt betas.

The only time someone normal has one is someone who likes the car and puts V8 power in it to make it a reliable driver with some resale value.

Thoughts on what I should get mech? MPG is important.

Get the 300 with a V8. If mileage is that important get a eco-beater and a weekend car. I'm not down with the 3 series except M3 just that stupid key alone is enough to piss me off

Mech what would YOU get with 9-10g's?

My dad was a mechanic and had nothing whatsoever good to say about Jags.... They do look sweet though.

I still think the Cobalt ss is a pretty good car.

I drove a rented ont once..and thought it was great.
I would be downgrading from driving Ford rangers, suburban sport, Grand cherokee.

If i had the money I would love a nice series BMW
Years down the road when my JC finally bites the dust.. Ill probably have a little more money fora better upgrade.

But personally..I think the cobalt is a good car for the style/money

I can be dropping 70 dollars a fill up at my pay grade all the time

(yes, I like convertibles)

I think those are both beta and this is why. I work on them or did. Every single person who drives one is in beta denial. I had to stop listening to them cry like a bitches when they find out what it takes to fix them. Then they go online and try to order shit as cheap as possible but when it comes to cosmetics they spend.

I would go as far as to call them "beta compensation mobiles"

Too bad.

How about:

Anything Tesla
Corvette

Well maybe 30 years ago it was a ride for rich, old guys but if driven by a young dude, I think the car would look cool.

Your FJ is so clean and sparkly!

Mine is caked in mud, salt, dirt and grime. Rock chips across the windshield. The interior is splattered with mud.

The wheel alignment is all fucked up because I've been in the ditch so many times and hauling shit sideways (long story).

I've only had it for 5 months.

This is a solid utility vehicle. Enjoy it.

I'm not sure yet..I have a bunch of cars for sale and when I collect I'll have at least that to spend on something. I like the C55 benz so far. The problem is I like to make money off everything I drive and finding one of those broken is hard.
