LOL - You just paid cash for a suped-up Q50 - dont give me that 

Which was ~50K cheaper than a Model S 90D. :)

 

Could have almost bought 2 Q50's for that price.  LOL

 

In 4 or 5 years I'll probably get a Tesla.

Exactly, if I did that now - I wouldnt be able to do some other things and dont want to be "that person" - nice car, has to live in apartment & eat @ McDonalds.

We just ordered the 2017 Q60 and paid our slotting fee to reserve it so, I have leverage on my fiance to get something nice for myself.

Problem is, she is a doc & makes more than me :(



 

Tesla P90D would be nice, but it's not luxurious enough at the price I'd spec it out at. Same goes for the base Model S. I'd still love one, but I have no easy way to charge it, and there's no Supercharger station nearby. :(

Just got a $5400 bill from Infiniti - 

I put it in the shop to get the ECU flashed/updated & their diagnostics came up with $5400 worth of maintenance   LOL

There was so much BS in there I had to laugh ($150 for Mobil 1 oil change)   I pay $55 for Royal Purple @ wal-mart 

I picked the 4 things that were really important - and the bill went down to $700

I told them I was thinking about just buying a Q50 & they changed their tune.

But now my fiance wants to wait till the end of the year for the 2017 Q60 - so ... since I promised she will get a new car before me - looks like I will be babying the G37 for a while.

Here is the 2017 Q60 - I think it is absolutely beautiful and finally a worthy successor to the G35 & G37

3.0L twin turbo - 400hp is the top dog, the middle version which is 320hp is what she wants.  I dont have to say which version I want

i am not liking the naming scheme infiniti chose. :(   i liked it back when FX35 was a 3.5 liter engine.    

 

but, this car looks nice.   just the naming is lame.

I picked up my 2010 Audi S3 on Thursday and i'm loving it.

 

I put it in for a full fluid change and service as well as cambelt and waterpump straight away just to make sure everything is fresh.

 

Its completely standard now so only 265bhp.  It drives lovely though.

 

At the end of January I plan to upgrade a few bits such as the PCV system,  and diverter valve, add a Revo intake and get a stage 1 Map put on it, this will take it to about 310-320bhp for about £600-£700 total

 

In summer (May/June) I'm hoping to have saved enough for the TTE480 turbo and all of its supporting hardware which will take the car to 480bhp for about £5000.

 

I don't want to change it aesthetically I want it to look stock so its an understated sleeper, plus its immaculate inside and out as it is :-)

Will need to take pics, but took delivery of a '17 Civic Hatchback EX-L in White Orchard Pearl

I've never owned a CVT, but it's pretty damn smooth combined with the turbo (174 hp/162 lb-ft). Awesome MPG: 31 city, 40 highway), and very tech oriented car.

    • Genocide is intent to exterminate and both the Israeli government AND its people openly declare, even boast about their intent to exterminate Arabs. This society of sick psychopaths has even made songs about it. Zionist means believing Israel should exist as an religious ethno-state where only Jews have rights and everyone else is second class citizen. As for the blood libel thing, we already know zionists get off on killing children. We also know Israel is a safe heaven for all the pedophiles and rapists of the world. Honestly, after what we saw in the Epstein files, I wouldn't put anything past this depraved death cult. Of course all atrocities committed by tHe wOrLds mOsT mOrAl aRmY are always "unproven or taken out of context". Unfortunately for them, their soldiers are dumb enough to leave a trail of their war crimes all over social media. Then again, when you live in a society that's obsessed with death and destruction, posting videos of yourself in the act of ransacking homes and desecrating religious monuments earns you brownie points I guess. Israel is the only society in the world where people come out on the roads for the right to **** prisoners. Also claiming that the BBC said this and AP said that without so much as a link has gotten me curious. Are all zionists this dumb? I really hope you aren't getting paid for this because this is some low effort propaganda.
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac by Taras Buria Microsoft has announced a major update for the OneDrive client on macOS. Today, the company released version 26.098, promising significantly faster sync, optimized CPU usage, a smaller memory footprint, and better energy efficiency. In a newly published blog post, Microsoft acknowledged that changes implemented in OneDrive for Mac in 2022 brought some unwanted side effects. Due to architectural changes and the need to keep the OneDrive sync engine unchanged, Microsoft created a hidden cache folder. With time, it would cause reliability and performance issues for customers. Now, Microsoft is ditching the old engine for native sync, delivering a faster, more reliable experience. As a result of this change, OneDrive for Mac now integrates more deeply into the operating system, offers about two times faster sync performance, and uses fewer system resources. While the hidden folder still exists, the app only uses it to store files that have not been uploaded yet, link file types, and macOS-related packages. In total, even when holding hundreds of files, the temporary folder does not take more than a couple of megabytes on the drive. Besides optimizations, the new sync engine enables external drive support, allowing you to keep your OneDrive folder on a removable drive (it should meet all the requirements). Microsoft is now rolling out the updated OneDrive client for Microsoft 365 Insiders. To check if your Mac has the new sync engine, go to the About tab and check the app version. If it ends with something like 26H, you are on the new engine. If not, you are on the old one. Microsoft says it will take a few weeks to complete the rollout to Insiders, but it won't say when to expect the update in the stable channel. Big performance updates for OneDrive on Mac came right after Microsoft confirmed it would soon kill document editing in Office 2019 for Mac due to expiring certificates. This change will force users to look for alternatives or switch to Microsoft 365.
    • Sorry but that makes no sense. What does using the same laptop have to do with anything? 
    • Playground drops 30 minutes of Fable gameplay, shows off life sim and morality system by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Playground Games gave fantasy RPG fans a new look at its Fable reboot last Sunday at the Xbox Games Showcase. While that was a short cinematic trailer revealing the main villain of the storyline, played by Hayley Atwell, today, the development team released an entire gameplay demo to show off the game in action. There is some combat and action near the end of it, but most of the demo is focused on the game's NPC simulation, relationships, choices players can make, and the complex reputation system. The studio is touting over 1,000 hand-crafted NPCs who have jobs, homes, routines they follow in their villages and outskirts, and a memory of what is going on in the world and what actions the player has done. All of these are voiced by real people too. The demo begins with a short interaction with a butcher who wants to kill a talking pig named Colin. The protagonist chooses to save Colin by paying the butcher a bunch of gold for his troubles, giving the hero a rise in reputation for being shrewd, merciful, and virtuous. There were also options to simply let Colin get killed or even fight the butcher for the pig instead of paying him. How NPCs judge the player depends on how they interact with the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doV0yq4kAP0 Later, the demo shows off how purchasing and managing businesses work, where players can hire employees, change their wages, tweak the price of the shop items, and reap profits if they do well. Different NPCs react differently to each type of reputation the player is touting. One shop owner jacks up prices by 80% just because the player is rich and owns businesses. The demo even shows the player deciding to attack random villagers and causing a ruckus in the streets, turning the hero into a criminal. This is where the magic combat systems are shown off, where the player can teleport, turn enemies into chickens, sword-fight, and more. "This is how you’ll build an extraordinary life in Fable. It’s all about shades of grey – it’s not us or the game telling you what is good and what is bad," says Dan Greer, Lead Game Designer. "With the Living Population, it’s the NPCs themselves judging your actions." Fable is releasing across PC and Xbox Series X|S on February 23, 2027. Premium Edition owners will be able to play starting on February 18 instead. Xbox Game Pass subscribers will also be able to jump in at launch for no extra cost.
