Want the new xbox, go buy the new xbox, the only entities I have to run my purchases by are me and my fidelity investment account. When I want a new wheel the determining factor will be money and whether the wheel is finally available in a relatively quality controlled version Some people manage to have a wife AND not have to run things by her. Its rare, but if you play the game just right from the start.... Ya get to keep your nu*z and not have to justify where you go or what you spend. Yes, its possible! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fryman Posted August 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2021 What is going on here? My wife told me I had to get more info on the S20 before she could consider me getting it and I am getting no help from you guys. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowers (delivered regularly) 2. Gin (with minimum quantities maintained) It's worked well so far, but I do need to keep supplying new wheel options for her to try too... I heard the made a slim version so no fat riders. So I guess that make the S20 a @Chrissis wheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissi Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 It's simple really have a spending limit! If you are okay to spend 3 or 4k without asking once a year can you complain if you partner does the same thing? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gon2fast Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 The Hustle - the main use of my wheels is centered around all of my in town errands, both personal and for the family. If I used one of my cars for these errands then there would be added cost with fuel and wear & tear, pollution, etc. Do I take the longest routes possible to and from these errands... no comment, but still a better solution LOL. My selling point to my better half is that I can get what is equivalent to a brand new car for only $3000 which is a minor tweak to the household budget. Sorry, can't help with the second and third new wheel as I always get my butt handed to me for those (usually takes a couple of months to notice though). On a side note, I saw on FB that a KS reseller was stating/speculating (not fact) that the S20 was 100V which makes me feel better about what is hopefully KS's flagship performance wheel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW... If you open an EUC shop, then you will NEED to have one of every model available for product testing and demo rides. Just saying... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the goofy doctor said my liver was getting big and I'd better stop drinking. (on second thought, are you suggesting I should have shared the gin? Not sure why I should have to share… perhaps that's why I need husband points 🤔) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul A Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Ewheels had a price of $3400 for the S20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_bike_kite Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 You wonder what sort of people would order a wheel knowing nothing about the thing other than just the price? Must admit though, knowing the price, I'm unlikely to get one 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it all depends on past experiences with the brand and the amount of disposable income.

I can't find any such info online, and when I happened to speak to Jason on the phone just last week he said he nothing more about the S20 than we do/was waiting for the teaser along with the rest of us. (Unless he's learned more just in the past few days and you've spoken to him since?) Edited August 18, 2021 by AtlasP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gon2fast Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Not enjoying the expected price, but if it is on par with the other wheels in the $3500 price range then it should not disappoint (knock on wood). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All things being equal, that in itself and the hints we have had that this will be something special, should translate into the S20 being ABOVE par with the other $3500 wheels IMHO (but I'll knock on wood too, just for good measure! ) Edited August 19, 2021 by fbhb 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
