Thread: Pretty good day

So you gonna order a Regal or buy one off the lot ?

Congrats man... Freakin awesome really!

Just a little rain on your parade, sorry... But have you considered that you will OWE taxes on the gift as it will be considered income... Approx 33% or 12 grand? Unless of course you itemize and have deductions to cover it?

just giving ya a heads up for what's around the corner comin at ya'.

He said he gets a percentage back after he buys the car so im guessing that is for taxes ?

In for pics/vids of said Regal. Congrats man!

Ryan is correct, I will get 40% of what I spend on a car...

So, if I spend 35k, then I will receive a check for 14k

It'll be interesting on how this works out with your taxes though. Get your cpa involved like you mentioned. And answer my ? You ordering a Regal or buying one off the lot?

New car + taxes handled and some space cash? Do i hear...mods...

No COPO, no care.

Congrats man im sure its well deserved! On a side note because of this thread I just realized that the GS is still alive (I know im an idiot) and it gave me chills when I saw it on the Regal site. That new version is Le Sex! Cant wait to see you build one up!

congrats yo, im assuming ur getting a 2012 regal gs?

A new Regal GS is far from a glorified econobox...lolololol, you kids and your drugs.

SOOOOO....I have a couple options to choose from as of today....two depending on the price...


1.) 2013 Focus ST- $$31,9XX tax, title out the door.

A great car all around. Ford really did good with this car in styling and performance. This is one car I see a lot of potential in already and I would be able to make this do great things. And the good thing with the price starting at 29,825...There is plenty of room before 35k for extra upgrades and such. The problem is finding one with the equipment package I want and in the color selection I would like.

2.) 2012 Buick Regal GS- Hopefully $$35 out the door.

Definitely back to Buicks roots for Luxury and Performance. The GS practically shares the same drive train as the Cobalt SS/TC except it has the GM stage 1 tune done to bump it to 270hp/295 lbft. The car moves out pretty quick and is a literal blast to drive. The magnetic ride control makes it extra special to take into the corners at higher speeds and not be afraid to do it in a "luxury sedan". To get a dealer to work with me on getting this for the 35k limit, I am going to have to sacrifice the Navigation touch screen and the 20" wheels...which doesn't bother me because 1) the GP doesn't have NAV...so why do I need it now?...and 2) the 20" wheels have summer performance Pirellis on it that I already found out, don't like the cold..let alone snow.

3.) 2012-2013 Subaru Impreza WRX STi- hoping to find a 12' so I can swing the 35k

Amazing car and sooooooo much fun to drive. If I can find a 12', then I know I can get closer to the 35k mark....In reality though, to get a NEW car, I may have to get a WRX...which, after playing with my friends intercooled/DP and tune 12' WRX..it was definitely faster than the STi I drove this morning. So, I am sure there would be no regrets on getting the WRX.


Questions, comments, concerns.....GO

Option #2 or #3. I just can't see paying that much for a Focus. I would go with either the Subie or Regal cant go wrong with either. Being that its a new vehicle won't you still get the factory warranty?...so I guess you'll wait to mod the subie?

I vote for the regal. I do like the focus but I'm sure the regal is nicer and probably bigger. WRX will cost more in the long run for maintenance and such i'm sure.

Actually... From the dealer I drove the sti at today... Modding them isn't much of a problem.

I <3 sti

i hearted the fvck out of it today

I <3 salesperson who nearly died.

haha i could hear his heart when i let off at a buck 20 haha
