What's shakalaka's next car MEGA Thread

[rage2]

Sorry for putting you on the spot shakalaka but I reading the latest purchased thread, it looks like you're getting yet another car swap? I think we all find entertainment in you throwing money away like you do, with your car ADHD problems, your pain is our gain haha.

Anyways, trying to keep track of your swaps right now. If I'm not mistaken, you've currently got the AMG GT and the AR Giulia?

Going to try to make this a running game, since we'll be playing another one next month. Want to confirm you're getting another swap, and if so, give us some hints, let's see who can figure out WTF you're doing next haha.

I'm assuming the Giulia isn't getting replaced, so it must be the AMG GT that's going. Am I on the right track?

What a bold assumption that you think he isn’t already trading the car he just got :rofl:

Fair assessment haha. How long did he have that charger for?

[killramos]

I think it was a challenger. But it was so fleeting I can understand your mistake.

[Sentry]

Like a week it seems like lol.

Put an exhaust on it and was like , eh, this sucks.

[shakalaka]

Hahah. Oh man. Rage is on the right track as I am enjoying the Giulia so far so that’s not getting replaced. I will drop a hint a little bit later today - just gotta think of a hint that wouldn’t completely give it away. :rofl:

[Masked Bandit]

I'll take the long shot, Shak is swearing off Earth killing four wheeled transportation devices, he's dropped $9K on a top end bicycle.

[jwslam]

Doesn't this happen so often it needs its own subforum?

Not surprised, every "performance" exhaust I've ever heard on those V6s sounds like garbage.


Has Shak ever owned a Tesla or other sporty EV?

[shakalaka]

Okay here's a hint...I think this is going to be pretty obvious.

[ercchry]

An electric razor?

Only Porsche's vast option list includes an integrated electric razor in the gear shifter, easy peasy.

Merc got beatern by a Honda so the obvious answer here is a CRV. :poosie:

yessssss

[diamondedge]

Remember when rage2 teased with the super obscure barely visible vent picture before he got his AMG black? Gotta find something like that. Hecking obscure detail.

Congrats on the P-Car.

This also definitely needs to be a M E G A

No but he loves wasting money on cars, so I figured I could get a good price :angel:

Sick shak, everyday I love P cars more and morrrre

Congratulations! You'll fucking love it.

The good news is, even if you do shak-flip it in a few months, you'll make money... Though - call me crazy - for some reason I think this one might stick around longer than usual.

He had a Ram too…

He's earned my respect by being so relentlessly positive. He's a great guy and living his best life. I fully support.

Congrats, looks like a missile man. The red calipers really pop behind those gloss black wheels. Will be interesting to hear your thoughts - wasn't it just this summer when you wrote that you didn't really have a thing for P-cars? Haha

[vengie]

Real talk.

Did you trade in the AMG GT for this or will the Porsche be the daily?!

[shakalaka]

Haha I know. I've repeatedly stated that I don't like 911's due to the similarity with Beetle's cosmetically but everything I read and review I've watched states that every car enthusiast must at least try a 911 once so I said fuck it.

I will be trading the AMG for it. I am still keeping the Alfa as a daily and the 911 though will get winter tires, I will use on as desired basis.

[XylathaneGTR]

Interesting, as much as I love a C4S, I feel like that would be a bit of a "downgrade" from the AMG GT.

[bjstare]

I agree, except it becomes a 340 day/year usable car instead of a 150 day/year usable car. That's gotta count for something.

Spoiler alert Porsche wins.

I can't remember all of Shak's various cars but this is probably my favorite one. P Car for the win. I'll gladly take it off your hands when you're done with it in 3 months!

[shakalaka]

I think it's a subjective thing. I have been getting majority of people saying it's an upgrade brand wise as well car itself wise and some people saying it's a downgrade looks wise/performance wise. Either way I am excited for it...though delivery got delayed from tonight to later in the week due to shit weather and the winter tires also got delayed. I have yet to drive a 911 so not sure what to expect and ultimately I will draw my comparisons between this one vs AMG GTS vs Aston Martin Vantage.

[npham]

I've only driven a 991.2 but it's stupid fun. Too bad you couldn't do a Euro delivery because the roads (highways/country) /museum in Stuttgart is amazing. Mercedes has an even better museum there as well.

For a track car, sure, but I don't think Shak lives on the track ya know? From an ADD daily driver / autobahn burner / smiles-per-mile perspective, I was thinking the AMG GT would have the edge.
BUT, I definitely hear that "340 day/year usability vs. 150 day/year usability" argument. Definitely carries some weight with the average person...but has Shak held onto a sports car long enough to even benefit from that?


Edit: Curious as you cycle through cars, why haven't given a Jag F-Type a go? I feel like it would press at least a few of your buttons.

[killramos]

340 day usability seems like an odd argument when you just bought a winter car that you are keeping a hold of.

I don’t think you read the article regarding why the Porsche won……. It wasn’t a track shootout.

[XylathaneGTR]

haha, guilty as charged. Stopped reading when the headline said "chasing apexes"
Went back and actually read it. Seems like both would be great but having driving neither, I'll still stand by my comment that I think the C4S is in a slightly different place than the GT. Interesting to see if it's enough to satisfy Shak's disease.

[bjstare]

Interesting to see if it's enough to satisfy Shak's disease.

I can tell you right now, it won't be. I'll be surprised if it lasts until summer. Heck, I'll bet you $50 it doesn't last through Jan 1, 2023.

[shakalaka]

Nothing is going to be enough to satisfy my disease. Eventually I am going to buy a complete POS beater and keep that as an only vehicle because if the nicer ones don't cut it, then might as well save a lot of dough.

[killramos]

No you wont

[npham]

I think Shak will have met his match with this 911 4S... it's that good. And if it doesn't last for a year, then I propose we Beyond group buy it, to be split evenly across the week. I call dibs for Fridays.
