What do you drive?


Recommended Posts

Looks in great shape for a 2004.   I love my F150 (posted a couple pages back)  I can definitely see my next vehicle (in 5 years or so) being another F150 solid truck, solid drive, and definitely dependable.

yours is nice.

I'm the same, i can't see ever going back to a normal car, or another truck brand. f150 is solid.

My next will hopefully be much newer, although there is nothing wrong with this one.

I just hate the idea of owing so much, these beasts are expensive.

I live out in the country, can get very muddy and dirty, so having a truck really helps.

I have put side step bars on, and changed the radio out so far.

I dont know if its being in the south, being in the US, or being in Texas, or just appreciating the rugged workhorse...  but I just love F150s.

I had one years ago, thought it was great.  Since I take mass transit to work - it seems silly to spend a bunch of money on a car, so when I get rid of my car next year - I might get an F150 instead of something obnoxious crazy less practical

2008 Evo X + Cobb Stage 2 Tune

 

1997 AM General Hummer H1 HMCS 6.5 Turbo Diesel

Always liked the H1  - there are only a couple around here and those guys only drive them on weekends... sometime.

I dont care for the H2, in fact I find those to be obnoxious - these things are purpose built.

(saw 2 old people in an H1 in Moab going over rocks and up a mountain nobody else would dare... they were probably in their 70s or 80s)

I drive a 2006 Honda Civic iCDTI recently had the ECU remapped to stage I on a rolling road, so the 2.2turbo is now pushing just over 206BHP :D lots of grunt.

Can match/beat the Type-r equivalent model now with the stage I upgrade.

The only external mod is the all silver reflective grill/glass replaced with a black/chrome Type S type grill.

 

Goes like stink, I love it :) can drive like a boy racer and still hit 55MPG+ 

 

Picture of it up in Skye last year :)

Not a picture of my actual car but.. picked up one of these just before christmas last year. Absolutely loving it!

I spent a bit of time doing research prior to buying and couldn't find a bad word said against it anywhere. I now know why. Really punches well above it's weight in so many ways. Great car. 

I miss my last two cars:

 

2011 BMW 335xi Coupe M-Sport Package (6SP Manual with the BMW factory ECU update) - I miss this one the most

2013 BMW X1 - Not so much

 

Traded the X1 for a 2013 VW Jetta TDI 6SP Premium Package

 

Besides the 335... this is my favorite car... ever.

Just got a BMW F30 (2013 3 Series).

I wanted a 5 series/F10 but wife complaining about mileage and age for the same price. Hell its not like were talking 100,000 miles here, only like 45K miles on the 5er vs 10K on the 3 series. Then again the 3 is newer vs 2011 on the 5. Still the 5 was loaded with pretty much all the options available. :cry:

In any case, happy wife, happy life so 3 series it is .... I will buy a 535 maybe next year so there's that... shhhh don't tell her! :devil:

Congrats. I just sold my F30 335i yesterday :cry: The 3 is much more fun to drive than the 5, because of the weight. Mine was also fairly loaded - loved all the technology features - especially the HUD!

Right now I drive the following:

 

2013 Chevy Malibu LTZ

2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R (636)

 

The day I got the car (you can see my GTO, which I traded in, behind it)

After putting the Yoshi R77 pipe and link pipe on my bike.  Major differences now is I have new levers and red 90 degree valve stems

My family's lease car at the moment is a 2014 (64-reg) Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.

I like it; much better to drive than the 2012 Mercedes B180 CDI SE we had before, got that nice futuristic electric motor noise and extremely better fuel economy - lucky to get 40mpg out of the B-Class; I'm regularly hitting over 100mpg in this (don't know the exact figure, as it stops at 99.9mpg). The Mercedes had a better entertainment system, though (unlike MMCS, it could actually pick up the track information of what was playing from my phone).

My daily driver is a 2006 2.2 CDTI Ex just turned 60k miles and had a stage 1 ECU remap.

 

20140806_171308_zpsof5krnno.jpg

 

EX trim spec inc dual sunshine glass roof, Honda audio upgrade inc door tweeters.

Sadly doesn't have the Bluetooth/Sat nav option.

 

Everything stock apart from air intake upgrade and a stage 1 ECU remap to hit 200BHP on rolling road.

Best

    • The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...
    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
