THE MANLY CAR THREAD

[Spectere]

See, I really wouldn't want an S7 because driving it down the street in areas that have cold winters because it wouldn't last long.

If I lived in Florida, SoCal, whatever, HELL yeah.  But not up here.

Very good point. I'd have to keep it someplace in the winter.

And the summer.  The road crews can only do so much to fix winter road rot.  Segments of the road can also rise and sink slightly, not to mention that bridges typically aren't level with the rest of the road (which is why you sometimes get that "weightless" feeling when you cross off of a bridge while driving at freeway speeds).  Most cars have a relatively loose suspension so you really don't feel that sort of thing very much.  A high-end exotic like the S7, however, would have an extremely tight suspension to handle fast turns and the like, so all you'd wind up doing is bottoming out.

:/

Which reminds me of the beating a friend put his suspension on his car. Sometimes snowmobilers will make these sections on the side of the road that are really bumpy (basically, they look like /\/\/\/\/\, just more rounded) and we drove right them, lol. The car actually bottomed out once. I can only wonder at how his suspension could survive such a beating. That car was a piece of crap (he manually welded the drive shaft back together twice, before the whole thing died.

Indeed, you would have to live in a nicer southern area with that thing.

I would quite literally kill someone for a car like that.

My friend sent me that video and said the EXACT same thing, minus the "no, not really".
