What do you drive?


Recommended Posts

Wow, everyone here involved in computer/internet businesses? Sure got some nice vehicles, must be rich.

Me, I haven't had my licence for 20 years or so now. Had a couple impaired charges in my early 20's and never did bother getting my licence back.

I still drive other peoples vehicles the odd time though, without it, but if caught, it's only driving with an expired licence... maybe, lol.

Nope,

Not involved in any internet/computer business, although I do work on computers on the side. Otherwise, I'm 100% disabled and no longer can work.

Been there and done that on losing my license though. 3 dui's and 1 impaired back in the 80's. Took me 14 years and a ton of cash to get my license back, so it CAN be done. Helps that I no longer drink also. Got caught driving without a license once within those 14 years.

Yeah when I look back at my younger days I feel stupid that I did drink and drive so much.

Nice car by the way. My dad did up a 66 Malibu, nice car too.

Since a couple of months, my new car is a Peugeot 308 (I previously owned a Peugeot 207), 1.6 HDi, 110 HP, Premium Pack. Fantastic car, couldn't ask for more in this price range, low fuel consumption (about 6 liters/100Km on average), not lazy at all, good equipment & options, 6 + 1 gears, glass roof, etc. Here she is :) :

^ Such a nice looking car - if I had to get a car in that segment, Fusion 2.0L Ecoboost w/ AWD, nice looking cars and power to boot. If only they put the Taurus SHO's engine in the Fusion :woot:

Or the 5L V8 from a Mustang! The USA gets all the good fords. The Fusion over here is a very different animal :(.

Haven't contributed to this topic yet, so I thought I would.

1999 Dodge Dakota Sport

3.9L V-6 Magnum

201,000 miles

5 speed manual transmission

It's my old work truck, got it used, runs great, doesn't use oil, doesn't smoke or anything, gets me to work and back and my hound goes bananas every time I put him in the back to take him out in the woods. Only costs me about $25 a month for insurance. It's multi-colored because my wife's uncle had it before me, and he let somebody borrow it and they got T-Boned. They rebuilt it, got it licensed under a rebuilt title, and I ended up getting it for free after I did some work on it. Still need to get around to digging out some sandpaper and sanding off the rust spots and re-painting them.

The Ford Explorer beside it is also mine, but I pretty much gave it to my wife and I don't drive it unless the weather is bad and I need the 4 wheel drive.

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal by Sayan Sen SSDs and GPUs are incredibly hard to get nowadays due to high pricing. Discounts are quite rare which is why we report on them as soon as we spot a good deal. For example AMD's new 9070 GRE was finally up for sale at a very good price of just $500 thanks to a special coupon. Sadly that deal is gone but if you happen to be looking for a 4TB NVMe SSD and can spend around $400 there is a really good offer on sale that you should not miss out on as TeamGroup's 4TB G50 model is on sale for that that price which means you are only paying $100 per TB, a very good deal in the current market (purchase link under the specs table down below). The TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 drive and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. Since this is a 4TB drive you can use it for a gaming library to take advantage of things like DirectStorage. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. Get it at the link below: Team Group T-FORCE G50 4TB Internal SSD (TM8FFE004T0C129): $449.99 + $50 off w/ promo code SSF69668, limited offer => $39.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.
