What do you drive?


Recommended Posts

Insurance is too expensive in the UK so I use public transport :D.

Mate, i grew up in East London, lived there and done that, Central Line was my daily transportation, i mean getting around London whilst driving a car its a bloody nightmare. I didn't have to worry about finding a parking space or insurance rubbish, thats the best thing about public transportation.

2009 Mitsubishi Outlander XLS

huuuuge step up from the Cobalt.

EDIT: It just occurred to me how everyone else has a ridiculously clean vehicle, while mine looks like I put it through a rallyx stage.... maybe I should find a better picture.

2004 BMW X5 4.4i

315hp

18"

Auxiliary input from BMW (1 week before the official iPod hookup came out sad.gif )

You can retrofit those easily. I had the same car with Nav. I had all kinds of mods on it. Not too hard to do.

Just search out IBUS X5 IPOD. Your vehicle uses an I-bus for communication.

I do miss that car. I now have the newer X5 that is hard to make mods to.

Something like this:

It's a 2011, Ford Focus Titanium X 2.0 Diesel (automatic)

I will admit that it is my company car and my own personal Car is a 2003 Pugeot 307 that I will be looking to get rid of soon as i think it may be on its way to the big car park in the sky soon!

My 2012 Trek road bike, it gets infinity to the gallon :) It has over a 1000 miles and its a well built and great riding bike! Oh, I forgot, I drive a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe and its an excellent suv (not MPG wise) :laugh:

Currently an '92 Mercedes 230CE but I think I'm going to switch to an Audi A8 as it's more spacious, more comfortable and a tad newer. Why I mention spacious is because I'm almost 2m tall and the CE is a bit small for me since I can't regulate the steering wheel height :(

My new car (since March) is a 2013 Mazda 3 R.

In Chile the SkyActiv engine is not available yet (only in the CX-5 and the New Mazda 6), so it has the traditional 150 HP 2.0L 5-speed with paddle shift. Not a economic car, but very fun to drive...

Nice! That's a rareish car these days. My friend drives a 300CE, great car

Silver 2013 Kia Rio.

Nothing fancy, but gets fantastic (~35mpg) gas mileage and really fun to drive with the autostick.

Stock audio is awful though... gotta do something about that. :)

    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug by Taras Buria Forza Horizon 6 was launched last month to critical acclaim (check out our review here), and it became a smash hit in an instant. Now, weeks into the launch, with die-hard fans clocking hundreds of hours, Forza Horizon 6 is facing a serious issue: save wipes. After multiple complaints on Reddit and social media, the studio issued a statement. The problem with missing saves came shortly after Playground Games promised the initial batch of gameplay tweaks and improvements. Unfortunately, there seems to be no temporary fixes for those affected by unexpected save wipes. However, the studio published a new support document with a few important steps users should try. First, affected gamers should open a support ticket immediately (go here to file one) so that the support team can try recovering the lost progress by reverting to an earlier save. Playground Games says this should be done the same day the issue occurs. Meanwhile, gamers are urged not to start new play sessions or create new saves. The studio also published a few things gamers should try to avoid to prevent potential progress loss: Ensure your Gaming Services app on PC or XBOX Series X|S console is fully up to date. On XBOX Series X|S consoles, disable Quick Resume for Forza Horizon 6: To disable Forza Horizon 6 from using Quick Resume, highlight the game box art anywhere in the console experience (Home, My Games & Apps, Pins, etc) and then press the Menu button, then go to Manage game and add-ons > Quick Resume settings > Disable Quick Resume. Ensure you are online when ‘quitting’ the game. Give your saved time to sync to the cloud before powering off or switching devices. Do not force quit the game during save screens. Do not power off the device during gameplay. Always "Quit" (console) or "Exit to desktop" (PC) once you've finished your play session, ensuring the save icon is not visible when you’re closing the game. Before turning off your console, shutting down your PC, or force-closing the Steam app, give your devices or clients at least a few minutes to ensure your latest progress has been synchronized with the cloud. This will reduce the risk of progress reversions as you switch between different platforms. XBOX Series X|S consoles, Steam, and the XBOX app on PC all include game save indicators that confirm your progress has been synced. You can read more about the bug in the official support document here. Forza Horizon 6 is currently available on PC (Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass. The game is also coming to PlayStation 5 later this year.
    • If only Windows would have a toggle switch labeled "Get the latest updates as soon as possible" inside Windows Update settings... But nah, let's hide the new stuff inside a controlled feature rollout, even if the user is explicitly asking for the new stuff as soon as possible. Awesome idea!
