Get ready for huge long pages of numbers to take longer to load on your phone. Just like with lots of pictures, these long lists for the ButtKicker Challenge work the same way.

I asked before and I'll bring it up again for discussion. Why can't there be a separate topic just for the season challenges? We know there will always be one so it's not like keeping it in the main thread for ease of availability isn't really an argument. We all know there is a whole forum section for SNAIL. We can spread out a bit. Already have for a real racing thread and a media thread, might as well for contests too.

This is one of those "because I said so" answers your parents gave you.

Attention all car loving Snails. I'm looking for some advice / feedback / suggestions. Sorry it's kind of a long post.

Here is my situation. As many of you know, I own a 2003 Nissan 350z. I love the car a lot and it's great to drive in the summerish months (Mid March - Late October). The other months of the year and during the summer sometimes I drive my other car, a 2014 Chrysler Town & Country. It's good for transportimg people, stuff, etc but not much fun for driving. Only positives are heated seats, heated steering wheel and remote start :)

I talked with the wife and she gave me the go ahead to look for something else, with one caveat. The new car will replace both the van and the 350z so I could drive it year round. I figure I can sell the 350z in the $5k range, with just a couple thousand of equity in the van to get one car I will enjoy. As an aside, my wife drives a 2008 Pontiac Vibe which our oldest son will inherit later this year as he turns 16 in July. She'll be getting a new car as well (leaning towards a Subaru Impreza hatchback or Mazda 3 hatchback).

Max price:
$30,000 (before cash from 350z and van trade in)

Uses:
Autocross
Rare track day
Daily driving - I'm not afraid of a stiff ride (insert childish comment here)

Requirements:
Manual
4 seats
Fun to drive

Preferences:
Rear wheel drive
Newer (2012-)

Absolutely not:
Convertible

Cars I'm considering, in no particular order:
Scion FR-S - But not the BRZ
Hyundai Genesis Coupe
Hyundai Veloster Turbo
Infiniti G37 Coupe - Similar to 370z, but weighs nearly 2 ton.
Volkswagen Golf GTI
Ford Focus ST
Ford Mustang - Not really a fan, but I'll consider it
Chevrolet Camaro - Not really a fan, but I'll consider it
BMW 3 series - Not sure I want to be a BMW owner
Mini Cooper S JCW - Too small?


Cars I'm not considering:
Ford Focus RS - Price
Volkswagen Golf R - Price
Subaru WRX/STi - I'm not completed against these, but they aren't on my short list
Mazda RX-8 - Not big on the rotary and wouldn't want one pre-2010. 2012 is last year.


I'm looking for feedback, both personal and observatory in nature. Please be specific if you can to your pro's and con's. Thanks!

There would be far more time saved if we had a seperate DP "discussion/complaint/random question" thread.

Oh shut up with your constant hating of me actually having a voice. I know most people are joking around but I can tell you just don't like me. I have a valid argument here but I'll cut my own balls off and let it die since that makes everyone else happy. And life is about making everyone else happy, right?

Ok. Here's the real answer, but I'm pretty sure even this might not satisfy you.

The reason we are even able to do this event is because ButtKicker donates their product to us to give away, FOR FREE. They get their return on investment (ROI) by advertising in our thread title and throughout the picking process. Now, let's say we move this to a separate thread where it is a lot less traffic and the only people who would visit it are the select few who already have a vested interest. Would this be a better sponsorship opportunity or worse for ButtKicker?

So, I would say for the couple days that this number picking process makes it a little harder for your phone to load the thread is well worth it to the person who wins this contest. Furthermore, ButtKicker is much more likely to continue to give away free products to us because of the amount of publicity they receive in our thread and from others who buy their product because of the exposure they received here.

Now that I've given you the complete explanation, does this make sense? But to be honest, I don't care if it does. Because I said so.

It does and I thank you. I enjoy the planning and "how" process of things. It brings a load of clarity to any situation.
