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.

    • Edifier's popular R1280Ts bookshelf speaker can be a nice upgrade for your PC desktop audio by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a very nice discount on Sony's high-resolution SS-CS5M2 speakers, which are currently on sale for just $178. It packs the rather rare super tweeter that offers an additional level of clarity and "airy"-ness which a tweeter cannot provide. It's a passive speaker though which means it will require external amplification, which will cost extra. Let's say though that you have a budget of under $150 but still want a decent-sounding speaker that's active. The Edifier 1280Ts can help in this regard, as the unit is currently at a decent price of $130 (purchase link under the specs table down below). While you will not get deep sub-bass from the 1280Ts, you should get clearer vocals and highs like cymbals than a cheaper satellite-based 2.1 system. Obviously the soundstage and imaging will also improve due to the better reproduction of highs. As mentioned above, the Edifier R1280Ts is active and so does not need a separate amplifier, as it's a powered system with its own amplification. A great thing about this model is that you can add a separate active subwoofer to it too using the "sub out" option, which essentially acts like an LFE. This way, you can add in the missing deep bass. The technical specifications of the Edifier R1280Ts are given in the table below: Specification Value Total Output Power 42W RMS (21W + 21W) Driver Units 4-inch mid-range/bass driver + 0.5-inch silk diaphragm treble driver Frequency Response 52Hz – 20kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) ≥85dBA Input Sensitivity Line In1: R/L: 500±50mV Line In2: R/L: 700±50mV Inputs Dual RCA inputs Outputs Sub Out port for external subwoofer Get it at the link below: Edifier R1280Ts Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Stereo Active Near Field Monitors with Subwoofer Line Out: $129.99 (Sold by Edifier Online Store, Shipped by Amazon US) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Appreciate the focus on UI performance, but this is going the wrong way. Instead of optimizing performance, coding to lower latency, etc. this is just throwing horsepower. This is lazy.
    • I agree, but that's the popular online opinion about them, so I followed it. I do think they have their point, no matter how combative they sound most of the time.
    • M$ can bring whatever the hell it wants, and then guess what's not installed in my Mac.
