Someone is a true baller. I wanna see what a baller car can do against my bottom of the line C class (couldn't afford the E class). Let me know when you get one of those high roller cars so we can go head to head.

Next time I'll make sure to keep any extraneous info to myself. And for the record, regarding a Z or an Odyssey not being in the cards for you, nowhere did it state that our opinions were supposed to influence you buying one of these. Looks like a generic "what would you buy if you had the money" kind of post. If you're going to put stipulations on what replies you're hoping to see, share some of your own great info with the rest of us or be prepared to get answers outside of what you're looking for. You asked what we'd buy. I answered that I wouldn't choose any of 'em. Live with it.

If I sound like a dickbag in this post, it's because I'm returning the favor of the tone of yours.
have fun with your Z and odyssey. i'm sure they're a real blast to drive. can you add those two options to the poll? i'll check the junk yards for them. thanks for the advise. now i can mod a Z! so cool.

Since when has winning a race ever been proof of real-world usefulness? The Audi S1 has one a scad of races but is pretty much completely useless. I mean, with enough factory backing my Silverado could compete in the Trans-Siberian rally. Everyone knows that 20" wheels and shoe string tires get the same traction has Converse High-Tops, and that the vehicle is barely long enough to haul a 4'x4' sheet of drywall comfortably. Surely, you'd need to fold the rear seats down. Oh but then again since you're posting "Ho-hum, I don't know which stupid expensive, self-indulgent piece of German douchebaggery to buy" it's probably safe to assume you wouldn't know a hammer from a monkey wrench. Winning a ******* race would be an excellent selling point for a vehicle if you actually plan to race it, you wiener.

That argument is like endorsing a Ford Taurus as a race-proven vehicle with exceptional credentials and capabilities because some redneck successfully campaigned one in NASCAR. Like Pat said, a factory-backed race vehicle bears little relationship to the capabilities of the stock production vehicle in the showroom.

Bigger issue here - why start this bullshit in the first place? It was a legit answer to a post with effectively zero boundaries. There's no need to be an unprovoked, snobby dick in reply

You should just buy all three, that's what I did. I also bought an H1 to go get my mail in. That's all I use it for.

Of course before I make any important purchase like this I always like to make a thread in the off topic section of a car forum. Then I act like a dick to the moderators, kick a puppy, and spit in a nun's face. It's pretty much my pre-car purchase ritual.

Now can we stop the shenanigans? We all know you're going to go buy an electric Razor scooter instead anyway.

Just to add to the douchebagery, WTF does your other 2 choices have anything to do with this statement then?

Also, in the end, none of your choices will help grow your dick any bigger, contrary to popular belief...
