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.

    • 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.
    • <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...
    • ive always been fascinated by old software this is an old video player for windows from apple
    • In the way that you framed it incorrectly. You wrote: "The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install" There's no "constant need to close all browser sessions". That's factually incorrect. The browser downloads its updates in the background and installs them when you open it again. Silently. And there's no "wait for a new version to install", updates are small and take 2-3 extra seconds AT MOST, if any. If you have an SSD, there's zero extra time. Also, every mainstream browser operates this way. Firefox, the FOSS go-to browser, the default on almost every Linux distro, does exactly the same. Also, you don't need to constantly restart Edge for updates to install, you can completely ignore them and it doesn't even ask you to handle them, it's all silent and automatic. So I don't understand what else do you want.
