What do you drive?

2002 BMW X5 4.6is, fully loaded, blue with black leather :D

But it might be going soon, the gas consumption is quite horrid, and I can see myself replacing it with a 2-door coupe or a 4-door saloon. I like the E39 5-series but its a heavy car, so it's not going to help the gas bill much.

2009 Infiniti G37 sedan. 328 horsepower...0-60 in 5 seconds. Navigation, rear view camera, 9.1gb hard drive, iPod interface, leather heated seats, cool lights...love the body. Very fun to drive.

My 2001 Ford Explorer Sport. Yep, still have it and will not get rid of it. Has a 215hp engine, goes 0-60 in ... well whenever it gets there ... been a good vehicle with only a few minor issues. Pioneer radio with 2 10inch subs (does "thump" a lot better than the Infiniti Bose system), Garmin Nuvi GPS, turn key ignition, cruise control (not working due to recall), iPod interface (which sucks)...but yea...it is a good vehicle.

It hasn't been washed in a loooong time. New tires though. :)

2008 Ford Mustang. It may be a only V6 with all the V8 GT options--however, it does it's job. A very beautiful car (at least I think so). I had a 1998 Pontiac Firebird/Formula until someone ran a stop sign. I was saving up for the 2010 Camaro, but I needed something to get me back and forth. I spent too much on the Firebird to even think about buying another used one.

Dealer pictures (I haven't gotten around to taking pictures to the snow!):

Here's what I drive. :D Not really. Just what I ride when I go to "The Rave" (concert hall), or get around downtown.

No need for a car being a college student and parking being $80-$100 /month in a parking structure.

When I graduate and can start knocking off my $100k+ of debt, I hope to get an Infinity G35 Coupe.

^They seem to have a show a few times a week. www.therave.com

I just saw Disturbed and Skindred a few weeks ago at The Rave. The place was absolutely packed.

Matisyahu with the Flobots would have been awesome. They both put on a great show at Summerfest this past summer. :D

I bought a GOLF I GTI yesterday:

100 % original inside and outside (except rims and suspension)

there's a stain of rust at the rear right wheel

196 000 km

july 1983

The engine needs a lot work (I hope to drive it this summer)

Plans: getting the engine fixed, maybe some BBS rims and inox exhaust, chrome mirrors, new front and rear bumper

A Toyota Corolla 2009, best car ever IMO. Just got 25,000 km and no problems.

I hope Toyota changed out all that cheapo plastic that plagued the 08 Corolla. I remember seeing Graeme Fletcher on Motoring 08 shake the hell out of the front bumper. "Flimsy fisher price crap" :laugh:

Ahh the good old Florida, always can tell just by looking at a picture, knew it before saw your info :)

Nice car though..

Thanks.

Yeah, Florida is nice during the winter months, but starting right about now and going until about November, it is absolutely miserable with the heat and high humidity. You will break into a sweat just going down to the mailbox to get your mail. I don't plan to live in Florida much longer. 20 years is long enough.

I hope Toyota changed out all that cheapo plastic that plagued the 08 Corolla. I remember seeing Graeme Fletcher on Motoring 08 shake the hell out of the front bumper. "Flimsy fisher price crap" :laugh:

I was in a car accident a couple years ago in my friend's 07 Corolla. It totaled a Hyundai. Then hit a VW head on in the same night. (long story lol)

It held up well, believe me.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
