1995 Nissan Maxima - Gave me trouble about every 2 to 5 months. I had it for about 5 years got it when it had 50k miles on it. The dealer gave me more than I thought they would, still amazed lol.

2007 Ford Mustang - Just bought it on Tuesday, its amazing, I love it to pieces.

My first car was a 1996 Ford Fairmont. Big hulking tank of a thing that cost me more in petrol than the repayments on the loan.

Had auto everything in it, was a decent car to drive, just cost me too much in fuel.

Big Aussie Ford! 4 Litre inline 6 cylinder engine.

The rest - in chronological order:

1977 Triumph TR-7 (my 2nd favorite car)

1976 Honda Civic CVCC Hatchback

1980 Toyota Tercel 4-door

1986 Toyota Celica GT (not the GT-S)

1986 Isuzu Impulse (my favorite car)

On a more serious note, first car i drove was a Jaguar XJ6 Mark II, with a leather roof, 4.2l straight 6 and first time i drove it was reversing up a hill and round a corner, all at the same time. was some experience for my first time ever in a car.... it didn't go well :p

First car i was given was an old ford fiesta barely worth a mention, though all credit to it, it got me from A to B and only ever had problems when breaking hard going round a long right hand bend, seemed to starve the engine of fuel and it would cut out :)

    • Those persons has complete control over the internet right now. They do see everything what we do regardless.
    • Everyone and every country who doesn't support Israel's aggression, terrorism and hypocrisy is their immediate enemy. You can definitely see how many innocent people they are killing almost everyday. In fact they're the actual Neo-Nazi who holds Hitler's ideology.
    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.
