What do you drive?


Recommended Posts

The waiting list is several months (years?) long.....

Yes, but I've been first on my dealer's waiting list for a long time now. The dealership owner of course is putting himself before all his customers, so, technically, I am second. However, his is already in the production process and mine should be there soon (estimated production week in mid-April). Of course, until I have an actual date in my hands, which I am expecting this week or next, only time will tell.

Very nice bike you have there abysal. (Y) Im thinking of getting either an R6 or a CBR600 in the near future.

Thanks dude.

I really fell for the styling for the R6. The CBR is a better street bike, has more torque throughout the mid range. Personally I ride pretty slow and don't race , so the R6 has plenty power in low to mid range for me. On the track though, I hear the R6 is a beast, maybe one day with more experience I'll unleash it :)

I also hear the CBR600 is more comfortable as well, you sit a little more up right so your neck and wrists won't ache as much.

Either way you can't go wrong; CBR600 or R6.

Between the two I preferred riding the R6 on the street: I found brake feel to be a little nicer and it felt more stable in corners (talking about '07 models). A friend of mine, and much better rider, used to race a CBR and ride an R6 until a pair of unfortunate accidents: one involving an illegal left turn by a minivan and the other involving racing slicks on a city road at 6 AM and -1 degree weather.

Middle-weight sport bikes are so good these days that it really doesn't matter what you're on.

A set of adjustable risers and rear sets fixes the seating position for just about any bike.

For what it's worth: the most comfortable sport-bike I've been on is Triumph Daytona 675. Pulls like real hard on the track, feels substantially lighter than it is, and the engine sounds incredible. To me it also feels much more narrow than other bikes which really gives you a sense of confidence. If I were going to buy a new 600-class sport bike I think that'd be the one I'd go with and I encourage everybody to try one.

To stay on topic: here's a crappy cell-phone shot from the garage last summer.

I haven't got any recent pictures of my bike and it's not terribly pretty: but it's fast. I should dig out my SLR and get some "before shots" for this season.

Hoping to get the final performance modifications done this year so I can get paint done this winter.

And I thought I posted mine in this thread :blink:

1998 Honda Civic Si/US Ex 5speed

Everything is stock, except the side mirrors. It has a little over 153,000km now which is very low for a 6th gen so this car should last quite a while. The only issue at the moment is the body. It's in great shape for a 11 year old car that has never been rustproofed but I'm taking care of small rust spots that are slowly appearing one by one.

Yeah I know, the car is in desperate need of rims :rofl: But I won't spend money for aesthetic mods.

Hey all,

I mostly read only, but I just got my new car a week ago and thought I'd post. I bought a Graphite Lancer ES CVT '09. Still getting used to how it drives...it feels way bigger than the old Lancer '06.

these pics I got from websites and are the ones I liked the most...I'll post pics of my own unit once I wash it...there was a storm today.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
    • It saddens me when cars are such dull colours now. Mine is bright metallic blue and I absolutely adore it for standing out in contrast to that depressing backdrop of traffic.
