/o/, do you stop to assist people whose car has broken down? Why/why not? Do you keep shit in your car for these occasions? Tell me your stories, your reasoning, your toolkits.

As for me, I almost always will. I usually find I'm not able to help much, but I'll still stop and try to assist, or at least diagnose the problem. I don't keep anything in my vehicle currently, but I intend to have a small toolbox in my truck before too long with useful shit.

In ohio, where I assume you're from, I was okay with paying $50 extra for a custom plate but then I found out it costs an extra $50 a year just to keep it. Even my historical vehicle plate, which doesn't even require yearly sticker updates would have me being billed $50 every year or they would invalidate the plate. Fuck that.

Has anyone else completely lost interest in "fast cars" after discovering motorcycles? I can appreciate them for being comfortable but I can't help but cringe when I watch these $100,000+ super car POV vids on YouTube and see them have to shift into second at only 50mph. It's pretty pathetic. I wanted to pick up a GT-R or maybe build a Supra but I feel like I will be underwhelmed by the end. What is even the point?

Piloting two tons of steel, plastic and glass is very different from piloting an engine on two wheels with you strapped on top. Generally bikes are faster in a straight line (because of their superior power to weight ratio) but cars have more cornering grip.

I'm looking for an objective response. Please leave the V6 meme out of this.

The older GT pretty much makes the same power as the newer V6. It makes sense to me to buy the newer car with fewer miles and cheaper tires. What are the pros and cons of each?

2010 GT or 2011-14 V6 Performance Pack.

05-09 GTs are too fucking outdated, IMO. Wouldn't bother with one unless it was a Shelby GT500. The newer cars are just a fucking quantum leap all around (not just engines, but chassis/suspension/brakes and interior)
