damn, a R32 costs like €43 000 here...

that's like $52 000

is that an '04 or a new one at that price? they sold just 5k of the '04 r32 here in the states (750 of those in the deep metallic blue) so value is actually hovering 'round 30k. also '04 the only year sold here. seen a few listed here going for asking price as high as $38,995. :o picked mein up for just under 30k with vw certified warranty til 2010/74k miles. i am very happy with it, but at 52k? :blink: that ain't workin. :no:

seeing that venture van..

do you guys remember when they made that chevy lumina van? and now they have that other van along with saturn and buick?

WHAT THE ****... WHAT THE **** WERE THEY THINKING WHEN THEY DECIDED TO BUILD THAT?

the venture is actually decent.. how do you go from absolute crap to something nice and then **** all over it?

the pics are waay too big to post on neowin. so i'm just going to give you links.. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as i enjoy driving this beauty

a 1979 Honda Hawk. I still drive the 1985 Buick Skyhawk as posted way earlier in this thread, although the body on it has got a lot worse since my pictures of it, I probably will be replacing the Skyhawk any month now.

So i have a motorcycle & a car :D

POS car. (just like the song...)

1986 Chrysler 5th Avenue Edition

5.2l V8 Engine

Windows work backwards... I push up on the drivers side and the passenger side window goes down. I push down on the passenger side and the driver side window goes up. Power locks don't work anymore. Antenna is frozen (happened a couple weeks ago randomly). The trunk floods with water when it rains. It gets like 10 miles per gallon. Its slow and sometimes it has trouble accelerating. I paid $$$$ to replace computer and lots of other junk.

I absolutely hate this car. Anyone want it? $900 OBO :)

I'd really rather have just about anything else ( thats a vertical/diagonal upgrade rather than horizontal )

took some pics to show the ground clearance of my car for another forum.. might as well share them here..

aint she a beauty :wub:

believe it or not.. 3 hours before these pictures were taken.. it was pouring RAIN.. where else in the world does it rain and then by 2pm you can drive to the beach to enjoy a nice sun and surf?

:happy:

Quite possibly the uglist vehicle nissan has ever come out with. The Back seat lacks any positive styling. Cheap materials used.

Whats with the little dome things over the instruments in the dash board? Makes it look like a last minue adjustment because they didnt know that the sun would affect the the vision of the driver.

They couldnt even have put on a miniscule detail such as a tailpipe tip, it looks dumb with out one, epecially when it protruded from under neath the rear bumper, which has a huge gap between that and the body of the car. Looks poorly put to geather to me.

the back seat? i didnt know back seats came in different positive styling.

cheap material? :laugh: for someone who rides in a GM (escalade) vehicle shouldn't be talking about cheap materials. thats rule #1.

the dome things? i believe those are what you call map lights and a compartment to carry your sunglasses.. i'm just guessing though.. :rolleyes: the sun affecting the driver.. i think thats what the sun visors are for.. they didn't put them there for looks, they're actually functional, you fold them down.. or open that little compartment next to the map light to pull out your sunglasses. :)

if the tail pipe bothered me so much i would've bought some chrome tips for $20... :sleep:

you don't want me to start talking about how the car you ride in is put to geather

especially at this time. :hmmm:

    • Snap Inc. launches new SPECS augmented reality glasses (for 'just' $2,195) by Aditya Tiwari Image: Snap Inc. Smartglasses powered by augmented reality are the latest fashion because the smartphone market is slowly reaching saturation. Snap Inc. announced its latest AR-powered smartglasses, called SPECS, that aim to strike a middle ground between underpowered AI glasses and heavy headsets you can't wear all the time. Available in two sizes, Snap SPECS are made from high-performance Swiss TR90 polymer and feature removable inserts to support prescription lenses. Its 47mm model weighs about 132g; the bigger 52mm model weighs 136g. Snap Inc has been spreading the word about the new glasses for a while now. Earlier this year, it even spun off its smart glasses team into a subsidiary called Specs Inc. Its proprietary LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) display delivers a 51-degree field of view and 16 million colors. Snap says the device gives the feel of a 24-inch desktop monitor when you're working, and of a 115-inch home cinema screen placed about 10 feet away when watching a movie. A pair of custom stereo speakers and 6x high-SNR MEMS microphones are built into the temples of the smartglasses to deliver open-ear audio while you cast a screen, stream content, open a whiteboard, or collaborate with others. Snap Inc. patted itself on the back, saying the smartglasses don't need tethering or a puck to connect to a computer. Under the hood, SPECS draw its power from two Snapdragon processors: one for computer vision and another for running Lenses. The device supports fast hand tracking, low latency, and responsive interactions that help digital content feel anchored in the real world, according to the company, which claims that SPECS can "deliver 7-millisecond motion-to-photon latency." The smartglasses offer up to four hours of battery life on a single charge while providing AI assistance, Bluetooth notifications, Lenses, audio/video playback, and more. The battery life could jump to 20 hours of mixed use when the charging case is included. Image: Snap Inc. You can view and interact with AR Lenses anchored directly to the physical world around you, and an on-board AI assistant uses the camera to see what's around to answer questions or provide real-time help with tasks. Snap Inc. noted that it filed more than 7,000 patents during the development of SPECS. It's trying to build the required digital ecosystem around the smartglasses, and said that developers have already published hundreds of Lenses for SPECS. Moreover, their electrochromic lenses use the same technology available in Boeing 787 Dreamliner windows, enabling them to shift from clear to tinted in just 10 seconds when you walk out of your house. Snap SPECS are now available for pre-order on the official website with a $2,195 price tag ($200 refundable deposit). The smartglasses are expected to ship in the US, UK, and France during the Fall this year.
    • Sound Booster 1.13 Build 575 by Razvan Serea Increase volume on your laptop. Boost the volume of even very quiet speakers. Raise volume above maximum. Letasoft Sound Booster can be used as an extra amplifier when the volume of the program you are listening to is too low for comfortable listening and you feel that your PC’s speakers can produce a louder sound. This can be the case when the audio or video has been recorded at the level below normal. Or, for example, when the other person’s microphone you are talking to on Skype, is not working properly. There can be a plenty of other reasons why the sound is being too quiet and there is not much you can do about it except buy external speakers. Sound of any application that is being played in the system can be amplified up to 500%. Letasoft Sound Booster can raise volume of programs like web browsers, on-line communication software (Teams, Discord, Zoom), any kind of media player or games. Simply put, volume of virtually any program that can play any sound in PC, can be boosted to a comfortable level with Letasoft Sound Booster. You can control current volume with the pop-up slider from the system tray. Alternatively, you can assign system-wide hot keys for increasing and decreasing, and use them when you need to adjust volume Letasoft Sound Booster constantly monitors current gain level and prevents samples from clipping, thus reducing all major sound distortions.

    • I own these and the normal QuietComfort ones from Bose. The QC are amazing and I want to love these, but for the life of me, I have a terrible time getting them attached to my ears.
