What do you drive?


Recommended Posts

07 Hyundai Accent Hatch 5 Speed. 30 mpg city.

I don't have a picture of my actual car but here is the model. Also mine is white. :x All I added was a K&N air filter.

Future upgrades if I ever get some cash will be a single 10" sub from JL audio and a short shifter. Not looking to pour a insane amount of money into this little guy. Kinda pointless. If I did have the extra cash I would just upgrade to the Genesis.

Hyundai's quality is damn good.

The inside is plain and simple. I could care less for all the gadgets car's have now days.

Nice Camaro :D

oh, and the white volvo is also nice, I was looking for a 850R but it's so hard to find a well maintained one :(

Thank for you for your comment.

On a Volvo Forum there is some guys from Belgium who has just bought a used T5 pretty cheaply.

The "R" has more of a "special" thing going on but realistically its nothing more over a top spec T5 apart from the front valance, wheels and a 30-second overboost feature, slightly different seats etc...

Yeah the T5 is definitely the best engine for the Volvo estates out there.

Here's what I drive, shared. Not my picture :p

07 Reg (Early 2007)

1.6L Engine

Automatic (So easy to drive, I prefer Manuals though)

A while back when people were posting bike pictures I meant to post mine. I cleaned up a bit after an epic trip through Alberta/BC for a business meeting and snapped a few bug-free pictures.

Modifications include new pistons, rods, bigger-bore, valves/springs, port/polish/balance, ignition control unit, power commander, exhaust servo removal, quick shift kit, ohlins rear suspension, intake stacks/filters/etc, titanium exhaust from headers to tailpipe, full carbon fibre body/mirrors/fenders, magnesium rims, minor changes to gearing (3-5th are shorter than stock), -1/+1, -1/+2 and +2/-4 sprockets + chains (I'm running -1/+1 now), corsa 3s, and handful of things that don't actually make you go faster (lights, wind screen, etc). I also stripped a good 15-20kg of "useless" baggage that serves no purpose but to make you heaver. I make plenty of horse power but torque leaves a bit to be desired. On the street you can fake it by swapping sprockets and chain but on the highway/track I can tell it needs "a little something more".

I've got carbon fibre clutch/case cover and braided steal lines in the garage, I just haven't had the time or motivation to install them. I also need to remove the pillion pegs again: I had them on so my ex-girlfriend could ride on the back. I plan to toss on brembo rotors/master cylinders/callipers when this season's over and If I can find a good place to mount a bottle I might bolt nitrous on just to look cool in front of coffee shops. ;)

I can't justify the cost of a carbon fibre single-sided swing arm or the super sport front suspension right now.

Those are the only two changes I'd really like to make.

My commute to work is more-or-less a straight line. There's no really good left hand corners so I have a giant chicken stripe on the left side of my tire. I'm tempted to get down there with a wood-rasp so I don't look like a backward NASCAR refugee.

Edited by evn.
evn, are those rear foot rests stock or mods? Would love to know where you bought them.

Those are LighTech's World Super Bike rear sets. I ordered mine from another site (PM for details, I just don't want to spam) -- they were about $450 USD including next-day shipping. The rod that links clutch to the transmission is chrome so I just blacked it out with a couple coats of heat-proof paint.

Buy the fully adjustable ones: they're 10x more comfortable than the fixed ones that bikes come stock with.

    • Nvidia 610.62 driver lands with big bug fixes and Empulse support by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a new driver available for Nvidia GeForce hardware owners, and it's carrying a whole lot of bug fixes. The WHQL-certified 610.62 Game Ready driver is also adding support for Empulse. Empulse lands from 1047 Games. That may be familiar to first-person shooter fans, as this is the studio that has been behind Splitgate and the Splitgate: Arena Reloaded sequel.

    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
