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 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.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
