What do you drive?

I bought a new car last week. It's a 2000 AUII Falcon S, manual. Basically the S-pack added better suspension (XR suspension, IRS was optional. I don't think mine has IRS) which made it sit lower and have better handling, body coloured grille, spoiler and S decal. The engine is the same as the Fortes and Futuras.

It's got a Tickford Momo steering wheel, a larger exhaust and after market alloys. I'm getting it converted to LPG at the end of this week. Petrol is too expensive for me.

When I can afford it I'll probably get an exhaust manifold put on to complement the exhaust. I also need to save up and get a new stereo and speakers. The CD player has crapped itself so I can only listen to the radio :(

Fiat panda 750. It's now in it's 23rd year, i recently had replace the vacuum cap for the ignition and i guess the rearbrake shoes need replacing. Still does 130/140 km on a flat road (can't be sure the needle trembles between the 2 numbers). For the rest only oil and tires in the 10 years i've got it. Cost me 500 euro.

my old car, and one of my favorite cars that I have owned, and the reason behind my screen name (sc302 = supercharged, 302 cubic inch engine, if you couldn't figure that out) (sold 2 years ago)

Black 95 Ford Mustang GT

Full power (doors, drivers seat, windows) yes this was all the power options in 95

Major Modifications:

Vortech Supercharger (10 psi)

GT40 heads

B303 cam

Holley Systemax Intake

30# injectors (starved the engine, needed 42's or 50's)

255lph Holley Forced Induction Fuel Pump

50 GPH Trex helper pump

3.73 final gear (now 4.10's)

spec stage 3 clutch

Man do I miss that car.

420 rwhp on a dynojet, guessing around 450-475bhp.

12.1 sec 1/4 mile time as of last year by the new owner

It was dirty when I took these, but you get the idea

My usual position at the car. 75 caddy eldorado, 500 ci, 472 ci heads, torquercam, dual edelbrock carbs, edelbrock inletmanifold, halfopen pipes. Tore straight up a mountain without noticing it.

Emptied the tank after 80 miles at full speed, which i really don't know because the gauge stopped at 110.

Drowned sadly in an underground carpark after a flood. 3 weeks later i managed to get it going after they drained the parking. Drove it out of the parking where it caught fire and died.

Why is it that Ford doesn't ever sell these things in the US. There are many very cool Fords made around the world that the States never get.

    • Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid by David Uzondu Instagram is finally rolling out the ability to customize your feed layout as you see fit by letting you reorder posts on your profile grid. This feature comes several months after the app introduced a tool that lets users rearrange photos and videos within a carousel post after it has already been published. To do that, people tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the post, select the edit option, and reorganize their slides. Now that Instagram has expanded the feature to your profile grid, you can organize your main page without deleting old uploads. To use the new system, you simply tap any picture on your grid and select the option to reorder. This action opens up a separate screen where you can freely drag your grid items around until you get your preferred aesthetic, and then you just hit the back button to save your changes. Instagram's Threads account posted that the system would reach accounts starting this week, so you might need to wait for the automatic update to hit your phone. https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DZVV_fyjjSW In other Instagram news, last week, people figured out that if you ask Meta's AI support assistant to hand over any Instagram account, the bot will actually hand it over (even if the victim's account had 2FA enabled). The security exploit involved the assistant accepting prompts from users and generating password reset links for unauthorized email addresses. Meta said that the issue has now been fixed, but this came after the issue affected several high-profile accounts, including @obamawhitehouse. Last month, the company finally rolled out paid subscription tiers for WhatsApp and other Meta social platforms after months of testing. WhatsApp Plus costs $2.99 a month and gives you custom themes, while Instagram Plus and Facebook Plus cost $3.99 a month for extra profile customization and story rewatch counters. Meta's also working on Meta One, a unified subscription service that contains options for heavy users of its servers who want more reach or advanced features. For instance, Meta One Essential ($14.99/mo) comes with a verified badge and impersonation protection. If you pay for Meta One Premium ($19.99/mo), you get deeper AI reasoning tools, whereas the Meta One Advanced ($49.99/mo) tier increases your search placement (on Facebook and Instagram) and visibility.

    • EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp by Hamid Ganji The European Commission has ordered Meta to restore third-party AI chatbots’ access to WhatsApp after the tech giant decided to block them from operating on the popular messaging platform. After Meta banned rival AI chatbots from operating on WhatsApp, the European Commission launched an antitrust investigation to determine whether the company had abused its market dominance. As a result of Meta’s decision, third-party AI chatbots, including Microsoft’s Copilot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, were prevented from operating on WhatsApp. At the time, Meta said it wanted to reserve the WhatsApp Business API for other types of businesses and did not allow rival chatbots to use it. This effectively prevented the WhatsApp ecosystem from being used to distribute rival chatbot services. However, the European Commission has now announced an interim measures decision requiring Meta to restore access to WhatsApp for rival general-purpose AI assistants on the same terms and conditions as before October 15, 2025. The Commission has also asked Meta to maintain that access until the antitrust investigation is concluded. The Commission argues that Meta has used its dominant market position to prevent rival AI chatbots from accessing the WhatsApp Business API. While Meta allowed rival services to return to WhatsApp by paying a fee, the European Commission still considers that arrangement to be a de facto access ban. According to EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera, the fees introduced by Meta are so high that using WhatsApp is no longer economically sustainable for competitors. “It seems that Meta expects to leverage the vast reach and likely dominance of WhatsApp to benefit its own AI assistant and to foreclose rivals,” Ribera said. “We cannot let large digital incumbents leverage their dominance of the past to dictate who in Europe gets to compete and who gets to innovate in AI.”
    • A few years ago walmart had the 512 models on clearance for $35. I bought 3 of them. I should have purchased more.
    • I'm fine with a little reasonable promotion of Edge, but the degree which they do it right now I consider extremely unreasonable.
