I was halfway convinced to buy a new S650. My 2015 GT I've had since the S550 launch had a lot of trouble. Valve cover oil leak causing smoke. Shifter was f'ed up. HVAC controls were halfway broken (I couldn't change defrost/dash/footwell vents - and it wasn't the servo motor, it was the stereo...

No. Trick of perspective.

I decided to keep my '15 GT for now. Despite a whole laundry list of problems, I decided to bring her back. I fixed the mechanical problems and AC + vent control problems. Replaced the valve covers and gaskets (they were loose, dripping on the exhaust manifold and smoking), replaced clutch and...

That's really good to know. A Blue Ember one with auto showed up about 20 miles from me. I will give that a try and see.

> But now you’re buying for him. It's a factor I think about. Would be lying if I said I didn't. We used to go to the shows and such all the time when he was little, so there's a nice nostalgia there. I guess I need to test drive all the options back to back. Only test drove the M2 so far...

Also, I cut out the reason for wanting the auto this time around. 1. It's faster. Unlike the old 6 speed auto back when, which you could arguably keep up with if your shifting was on point, the 10 speed just crushes the manual. 2. My wife can't drive stick, and never wanted to learn, and while...

Don't get me wrong, I am looking for a bit more premium this time around, but still this is a performance/fun buy with a side of premium, not the other way around. Most BMW M cars are too bougie for my taste - except the M2, which still seems to be a fun driver's car. I hate the C7 'vettes and...

I bought a basic 2015 GT 300A w/manual transmission and no options way back right when they came out. It's time to let her go. Last time around I was being super cheap, just getting the cheapest Mustang I could possibly find with a V8. Now, I'm doing a little better in life. I can basically...
