The Car Thread

[flaccopoe]

Not even in the same class.. and NO, its not faster then the newest Veyron. I dont like either car that much.. but you could live with the Bug.Vey every day ( if you chose) ..the Aero is a skelton compared to the Bug. i like the performance of both, but the Veyronhas all the creature comforts and the interior is SICK.

The SSC Ultimate Aero TT used to hold the Guinness World Record for world's fastest production car.

Looks like I may be trading in my '07 Dodge Caliber for a '13 Dodge Avenger. Finally, all the kids are out of their car seats, I can get something that doesn't require me to seat six people in the backseat (car seats just keep getting bigger). And I can get something that isn't a four-cylinder. May just stick with the SE model, nothing on the SXT or R/T really scream "necessity" to me.

My first car was a '97 Dodge Avenger.

Also, for the BMW/Benz debate...

BMW= Drivers car, Lighter more rigid and a little rattley

Mercedez= Drives the car for you. Soft, plush and solid

both have plenty of electrical problems.

Benz has a more durable engine due to its lower revving, more TQ Vblocks

BMW, you have to wring that crap out of it to get good power ( unless its the i6TT)

Partial to Benz, I see

Anyone ever heard of the Bufori La Joya?

[SecretAgentMan]

Just hoping to get my Dad's BMW 535xi.... Hoping he saves up to get a Jaguar! Or a Porsche. He has the freaking money, I just want the BMW!

[flaccopoe]

The craziest street-legal car ever!

Might I suggest the Renault Dezir for him? One of the most beautiful coupes ever made- and it's electric!

He makes good money, just not that kind of money! He wants more of a Sedan...... We have a family of five so.. Yeah

It's in the same price range as a Jaguar! And it's electric, so it would be cheaper to maintain.

I still own my first car. 14 years later. Actually it'll be 14 years at the end of this month to be exact.

Pics or I dont believe you

[codizzle]

Yea gonna need pics on that one

[cobrajet]

Pics or I dont believe you

Ok I will prove it, but first you have to guide me on how to upload pics to the "Reply to this topic" section because I have no idea how you guys do it. I can click and type and even add a smiley face every once in a while but that is the extent of it. I will even post some pics of my other rides. The purple escort station wagon was my wife's grandfathers car and it was sentimental to her. When he died I bought it to keep it in the family and brought it back to Baltimore to use as my beater car to drive into the Northeastern District Stationhouse. Trust me, as a police officer, you don't want to drive anything super nice around the streets of Baltimore on a daily basis. Although, I have to admit, the city has been trying to improve that with operation "orange cone." But anyone who lives or works in Baltimore CIty and drives it daily knows that it can be hard on a vehicle. I put a lot of miles on that car!

My wife tells me the story of the day he bought it back in Pittsburgh. She went with him and he said to her, "What do you think of it?" and she replied, "But Pap, it's purple!" and she said his reply was "I know ain't it great!"

Upload it to Tinypic.com and then post the link.

I drive a Mazda 3 hatchie, AKA my mom car. I had a Smart before that. I miss it, but no room for a baby in that thing.

You have a permit or a license?

Permit because I waited a year after I was eligible to get a permit to get it, but I get my license over summer break from school

Safe driving, my friend!

Trust me I know lots of idiots on the road today even some of the smarter people I know are just horrendous when it comes to driving. My friend got a speeding ticket and a court date for going well over 100 at 3 AM on the way back from dropping someone of at the airport and to top it off he didn't have his license on him and he had his retainer in so it sounded as though he was slurring his words...
