What do you drive?


Recommended Posts

1995 White Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 4 Door. Got it for $750, and it runs great!

:rofl:

Same boat as you. 1990 VW Jetta Carat 1.8 4 speed that looks like it has been driven though the sahara in a sandstorm. But hey, I paid $650 for it and it runs great too.

2003 Audi A4 1.8 Turbo Quattro.. Stick shift

Umm I wont list my specs hehe.. Just know all my internals are redone and different turbo.. Along with other minor engine work :)..

Wanna keep it lookin stock :)

Very nice, looking to get something similar myself but probably just in silver. How you finding it? Fuel consumption bearable?

It's awesome. I had to search all VW dealships within 300 miles to find this. Hard to find a 4 door. Fuel is ~21 city, 28 highway. Not bad the way I drive.

My Audi is now far sale. I put my Sensible head on and went to Merc, put my deposit down on a new C200 CDI Sport Triptronic with a few extra's in Metalic Black. Will post pictures when I collect the car.

Will miss my Audi but fueling a 3.0 Petrol engine on an AWD car and getting between 10 and 20 mpg just isnt viable for me anymore, the Merc felt well slow when i test drove it, but still really nice to drive.

I bought my first car this Saturday, and get it today! I am so excited, can't wait!

It's a 2000 Ford Mustang, Silver:

And yes, she's standard. It's the base model, but fully loaded (leather, sunroof). I can't afford the gas on the GT, I go back and fourth from school and home which is 200km quite a few times a year... So the V6 is good enough for me! :p Not only that, but she only had one owner before me, and it was never winter driven... I can't wait!

Nice! You'll like it.... It's just a start, one day a GT will call your feelings....

It already does... It's nothing like a V8, and I'm never going to feel like it is. My real dream is one of those Fox-body 5.0's, like in this Youtube video:

You can say all you want about how that car LOOKS, but close your eyes. There is no way in hell you can say it doesn't sound GOOD.

Regardless, I got the car yesterday, and it's awesome, and I'm really happy with the way it looks and handles. One thing's for sure, though - she's American. The way everything is - the way it shifts (gotta give 'er to the shifter), the rear wheel drive, the 3.8 V6 only pushing 190hp... I grew up on Ford's, and am totally happy with the car.

It cruises like a dream on the highway, which is important.

for me, to be honest, i dont see my self driving private cars, no mater how luxurious / expensive they are, to me it feel's , low, gentle, not in full control, and i feel uncomfortable in them, specialy the jap cars,.(without disrespecting at all, at all.) i think uropeans cars are better.

emm to give example of what i feel about those cars, even if i had the money, i wouldn't buy them, if let's say iv'e won somehow in bmw, or audi r8, i would test them, but, would have sell them, and buy tougher vehicle.(4x4)

i'm more of jeep like vehicless, like wrangler, land cruiser, pajero, offroads trasportation.

never felt more secure than in a cj6 jeep. very simple machinery, but grinding stones.

right now, till my new pajero arrives,(3.2 l, 200hp.) i'm on 4x4 toyota hilux 2003, not the strongest diesel engine, but after really good and deep care, it runs perfectly.

to all of you drivers/drifters, drive safe, and enjoy life. :)

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.
    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
