Welcome to Discuss My Ride Dot-Org

[Samurai Waki]

Nice ride Wakizachi! How are the new GTs? The retro styling is great and all but how does it handle?

...eh. I mean its got enough horsepower, so you can speed past slow traffic like it was standing still (which is saying a lot on the LA Freeway). But it doesn't handle like a dream at all, it's a little tight going around corners. And Overall, I'm not vastly impressed, plus if I was ever driving it to someplace nice, its kind of a Dorky Car that screams Mid Life Crisis. Even though I'm only 22.

For the same Price I should've bought a Lexus.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

If you wanted a car that was built to, you know, handle, and turn corners and stuff, you probably shouldn't have bought American. I don't know why you'd want a Lexus though, most boring cars on the planet.

I used to have a 2003 Jaguar XK, but it was in the shop 1/3rd of the time I had it. If I ever bought an export I'd forgoe anything Euro (because there is a huge lack of Mechanical Support that doesn't Cost an Arm and a Leg) on the West Coast. And Probably end up buying a Japanese Car, and my only problem with Japanese Cars is that the largest engine any manufacturers make is a V6. Not that I would mind a V6 if I was terribly worried about gas mileage, but if I was buying a car with fuel mileage in mind, I'd just as soon have a 4 Cylinder and forget about the hp altogether.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

The V6 isn't too much of a barrier to engine power-the most powerful Mitsubishi Evo IX clocks in at 360 Bhp, and it's only a 2.0! One of those things would absolutely blitz pretty much any other road car you could think of.

As an aside-how the heck can you afford cars like this if you're only twenty two?!

...well, I was willed a large inheiritance(sp?) after my father's death.

enough to say, never really having to worry about money for the rest of my life, and god willing if I don't go overboard, enough for my Children's Children to never have to worry about it either.

DON'T tell anybody you don't trust where you live. You may have people like me driving there with our 99 Dodge Avenger ES's begging for a "loan". By the way, did you know that cars can go bald like people. Except it's with paint and not hair (but I do live in da hood so it's a better theft deturant than a car alarm )

Hmm, is the poor spelling humorous or embarassing?

[naut]

I downgraded my '95 GMC H1 to something a little more Child Friendly about 3 months back. And the Gas Mileage is a little better.

You lucky sod!

[KukriKhan]

'85 Honda Civic, get-to-work-and-back car.

It has a smog test due in January, that I'm sure it will fail without spending more than the car is worth. So, I'm looking for a cheap replacement, and probably donate the Civic to some charity in December (for the $500 tax deduction).

Or maybe a bicycle (it's only 2.5 miles to work).

[drone]

Still driving my 1995 Acura Integra. Not sure how much life it has left in it, I have not been kind to it (it's starting to burn oil ). Hopefully it can go a few more years without needing anything major done to it. Very reliable considering the abuse, it's never stranded me before.

[Moros]

Why does it say in the frontroom that Ser Clegane has posted this topic? ~:s

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

He must have changed the thread-starter with his admin powers. I've told him before about doing it, but he has such an ego. Just won't accept he hasn't started a thread.

[Adrian II]

Probably to compensate for that sissy car he posted above. I mean, come on...

I agree with you, BKS, real men ride bikes!

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Recently exchanged my car for a new one:



Whatcha think?

[Samurai Waki]

Deloreans suck.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Deloreans suck.

Any car with giant flames coming out of the back is cool

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

Deloreans suck.

Hah, as soon as I saw that pic I went for the quick reply button to post exactly that. They really are awful cars.

Sasaki-are you sure you have enough plutonium for your flux capacitor?

They are mine - they are all mine

[Aenlic]

I don't own one. I want one though. I had one in high school.

I want a '70 Olds 442 Convertible (W-30 or W-29 option) with a nice rebuilt 455 F block, stock quadrajet carb and a nice TH400 trans. The one I had in high school in '76-77 was blue.

There's a sweet cherry red one in a pic I found here:

[Sigurd]

I drive a Venom 1000.

It's a 2006 model and black...fortunately I have it unbadged.

What I like to do is pull up in the wet...rev my Venom “gently” and look over at the young punk on his Bullet bike or whatever...usually I make sure its one that can go really fast.

Once the young punk has taken the bait, then its "good night Charlie"!!

The light goes green and my V10 8.55 ltr twin turbo 1000 bhp Venom just annihilates him!!

With a modest 1000 hp and 1491 Nm it's nothing much......

It's just my little bit of fun I have every now and then while being a responsible citizen.

That's a gross overpimpfication on wheels you have there mia muca, any chance you can adopt me?

But it doesn't float, mi dushi! What you are looking for is something like this:

[Fragony]

Awesomeness! But that sail is way to small for that size

[Adrian II]

Let alone for Branson's ego. For it is he, SRB, steering that car.

... I don't have it yet.

I will someday though when I am as old as AdrianII or was it Kukri?
It was just a funny reply to the Audi/Yamaha R1 series.

It is the car of my dreams... not sure which tuner I will hire to sup it up. Hennesey is top of the list right now.

[The Stranger]

hehehehe Hilarious... FRAGONY, i want to adopt you!

[The Stranger]

OMG He like actually changed the poster name of the thread... Ser Clegane... you naughty little... :inquisitive...

[The Stranger]

My ride.



Yep, as sexy as beige Fruit of the Looms. But, it's ours, it's clean, it works, it's paid for, it holds all the kids and tons of stuff, and is very comfortable.



I'm so old...

DADDY!

well... uhm... it's like this

I like have a date on.. ehm... sunday... and...

ehm... I was wondering... if ehm...

icouldtakeyourcar

no?...ah... oke... because?...

because I already crashed your last car...

yeah... i'll go upstairs...

[Adrian II]

If I know Daddy Beirut, you are not going to go upstairs. You are going to go into the back of his work van and cut logs along with the regulars, no matter how long it takes and no matter if your hands and ears start bleeding -- until you have paid off the damage on that car, right down to the last dime. Only then can you go upstairs and cry in your pillow, if you still have the energy for it...

Erasing the past...
