If I ever win the lotto I'll walk into a Ferrari dealership dressed like I normally dress, in trackies etc

If they act like cocks and lose the sale, I'll drive past in my new lambo and give em a wave

When I was looking I was ready to buy drove an hour to the only dealership in victoria with a black GS, leather, auto, premo sound, I was looking at the car for about 25 minutes waiting for the first guy to actually bother asking me how I'm going and talk about the car unlike the rest of them that would of thought I was a time waster.. that guy was a young bloke too and guess what, he got the sale.

Negotiation was pretty funny, this is late 2011 for a 2011 plated car and he came back with like $250 off the price just laughed and ended up getting 2.5k off instead I think from memory because we stood up and started walking outside the door.

Does anyone get any use out of their credit card award points? I have a feeling its all a con unless you use your CC for business use, pretty hard to rack up enough points for anything good :/

Got a Commbank Awards creditcard but might change to a low interest creditcard instead...i guess less interest would be better than any bs points....

Some credit cards offer qantas freq flyer points but usually its $1 = 0.5freq points. With that logic, i would need to spend at least $20,000 on the credit card to get 10,000points...

Cashed my points in for $230

Considering I'd never paid a cent of interest at that point, it wasn't a bad deal

Not bad, just checked mine. I can get about $150 cashback. However its taken probably 6yrs to get enough points to get such a claim lol

F*** Amex, they rape suppliers on usage charges and consequently a lot won't accept it.

Hey Pat do you remember a chocolate bar called Take 5? It was a chocolate bar with Malteser type balls in it, sitting in a row.

Edit: wasn't Take 5...but it was "something" 5.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
