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.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
