Car dealerships are seemingly still screwed for supply around here, wife and I visited a couple over the weekend.
Ford dealership was pretty sad and only had a single example but completely the wrong trim for what we wanted to take a seat in. Ram dealership had more salesmen outside in the sun than vehicles to sell.

rivian recalling everything
Everybody in EU land is talking a pending recession with already big slow down in consumer spending. If this continues there must be some kind of leveling in the demand for chips.
What're you guys after?
He's right and well worth a follow on the twitters.
This is just getting silly now.

With how far they took the aero, it's not surprising. It's a huge difference from the regular GT3. This RS has no frunk, it's just vanes and aero shit to control front downforce. It's all about track time and it's not going to be a daily driver, it's a tow-to-the-track-car that you can drive to a car meet too, but it's too far removed from road drive-ability to be exciting or interesting IMO.
I'm willing to bet I'll see at least two of the new RS a weekend driving past my house going to the canyons, all with some form of a Nuremburg sticker on the quarter window. I think the most I've seen on a given weekend was a baker's dozen, all in different colors so it's not just 1 guy.
I don't think my spine would approve of daily driving the new RS, but they're decently popular around these parts, the poverty spec GT3 is insanely popular as a DD.

Given it's a "road" car and no longer has the frunk, at least you can bungee your luggage or shopping to the rear wing.
No, you can't, because when you slow down, the wing actuators cause two parts to "open up" and would drop it out the back. When you go fast, it locks down and closes.
You don't have a back seat, just toss shit back there.
Roll cage is blocking all that area I'm sure
I can fit my backpack into a pretty small space. You don't need any more luggage than that.Roll cage is blocking all that area I'm sure
I've stuffed a weekend bag in the back seat area of a 2010 GT3RS before, jam it right through the cage. If the roads are smooth it's a reasonably practical car, even gets moderately un-terrible millage.

Need to grab some winter tires for the blue box, as clearly I'm not purchasing a car this winter.
Looks like I can get something like Nokian Nordman 7, GT Radial Icepro 3 and others around the $148 per tire mark.
Or splurge on Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5's, at $183 per tire. There's a $75 rebate available, which when received would bring them down to only a $35 premium (not taking into account that there are probably rebates for the others as well).
Worth it? @Toshi

Must be nice, studded tires are illegal here, unless you are from way up north. Though with how the winter temps fluctuate up and down here, they aren't really needed. You'd be driving on pavement half the time.
I think I'll go for the Nokians. The Pirelli winters I had before were pretty good, so it'll be nice to see if there is any difference.
@Toshi what's the wear been like on them? My only hesitation is buying these and then getting a new car. I'll probably have a hard time selling them, as they are "tiny" 195/65r15's
Maybe I should just forget about a new car and see how long this thing will go for. It's like the energizer bunny..

I'm getting Nokians for the Sprinter this week, but probably won't put them on until week three of November.Studded tires are illegal here, unless you are from way up north.

Yeah, we haven't hit the wall yet, but we will sometime soon, maybe next month. We did have a bit of snow and a cold morning a few days back, which tends to freeze on the ground, but it didn't last long. Later on in the season, we'll get black ice due to the high pressure, cold temps and ground temp being so much cooler than air. You can "see" it if you know what you are looking for and it's not too much of a mystery like my parents use to threaten. Then there's the snow that will just get impacted and turn into ice over time...not to mention if we get freezing rain, but the snow will eventually create an ice layer on everything and apart from the treated highway, it'll be varying degrees of frozen surfaces. I agree if you aren't going to be driving on ice, studs aren't very necessary, no difference if you are driving on snow. IDK if it's a conspiracy or something, but nearly every comparo I see has studded tires against studless on snow, where it doesn't matter.Must be nice, studded tires are illegal here, unless you are from way up north.

Mainly, the low sun angle creates long shadows and snow/ice doesn't "burn off" the ground. We gotta get back to late February to get that working for us again.
