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.

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. :)

    • 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
