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?

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:

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.
    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
