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 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.

    • If it ain't broke, don't fix it. One Commander Free also available in the Store has been my goto Files Manager for years. It does what I need at a more than reasonable speed. I do occasionally use Files Explorer just because it is there and does what I need without any problems when I use it.
    • I think you missed his point. He wasn't saying that cloud storage isn't possible on GNU/Linux, clearly it is. He was pointing out that you are commenting about your dislike of Windows on an article about OneDrive (not Windows) for Mac (also not Windows). Its about as off topic as coming to an article about Sony improving something on the PlayStation and saying that you hate Sony TVs and prefer LG.
    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Nvidia has a fresh update for GeForce NOW subscribers today, bringing in more games to add to its ever-growing supported titles list. At the same time, the company announced the kick-off for its summer sale for the streaming subscription service, dropping the prices for both its premium packages for anyone looking to upgrade or join. The offer is for the 12-month membership options that the company offers. This drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. Next, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping prices by $70 from the original $199.99. "The Performance membership delivers smooth, high-quality cloud gaming across devices, with streaming up to 1080p at 60 frames per second (fps) and access to RTX-powered servers for supported games," says Nvidia, describing its tiers. "The Ultimate membership steps things up with RTX 4080‑ or 5080‑class performance in the cloud, supporting up to 4K and beyond on ultrawide displays, up to 120 fps, and advanced features like ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS and NVIDIA Reflex for a more responsive, visually rich experience." With the sales out of the way, here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: NBA THE RUN (New release on Steam, available on June 9) Witchspire (New release on Steam, available on June 10) SpaceCraft (New release on Steam, available on June 11) Duet Night Abyss (Launcher) DOOM Eternal (Epic Games Store) The Elder Scrolls Online (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Farever (Steam) World of Tanks: HEAT (Wargaming) Nvidia plans to add support for a bunch of more games during the rest of June. Find the full announcement from last week over here. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
    • It's actually shocking how logs filling disks has been a constant issue going back for decades, yet we see very little improvement over the years. Even in the server world, its actually shockingly common for a server to either go totally down, or have a critical alert raised due to logs filling disks.
    • YouTube has finally brought back its DMs feature, but only in these countries by David Uzondu Late last year, YouTube started testing a "new" way to share videos directly with friends, without having to leave the app. Now, the video giant has announced that is now rolling out a revamped direct messaging inbox, which lets you share videos, Shorts, and live streams and have conversations about them, directly on YouTube. The platform limits this feature to 18+ users who are signed in to a verified channel and use the latest mobile app version. Direct messaging on YouTube first became a thing back in 2017 inside the mobile app (later renamed to "Messages"), where users could chat one-on-one and share clips directly, but all that came to an end on September 18, 2019, when Google decided to shut it down after giving users a month to download a .zip file archive of their past chats. No one really knows why YouTube killed the feature, but users were encouraged to migrate to the public Comments section, on Community tab posts, and via YouTube Stories. The previous incarnation suffered from moderation challenges, prompting Google to implement stricter safety guidelines and age verifications for this new iteration. Here's a list of the countries where the re-launched feature is currently available, though note that Brand Accounts do not have access to it, at least for now: Countries American Samoa Austria Belgium Brazil Bulgaria Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Guam Hungary Iceland Ireland Italy Latvia Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Northern Mariana Islands Norway Poland Portugal Puerto Rico Romania Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden Switzerland U.S. Virgin Islands United Kingdom United States Before you can use the feature, you first have to send an invite link to your contact. Invite links expire exactly seven days after you create them. If the person on the other end accepts the invite, you can exchange videos directly and text back and forth inside the app. To delete a message, just long-press on the message and tap unsend to remove it for both users. You can also delete entire conversations by long-pressing the thread and selecting delete, but the other person will continue to see the chat history on their end. To make sure everything remains safe, YouTube monitors these messages to ensure they follow Community Guidelines.
