I bet that's gonna be a bit out of my price range for a while...

But it's amazing to see this tech actually happening at long last...
We have been teased with the prospect of hover vehicles for as long as iv known... But im young..

I wonder if we will all be higher soon...

Eh, I'm still in college so the high MPG while still having a slight bit of power was a deciding factor for me when purchasing my car (that I still haven't posted a pic of... one of these days)

But yeah, that thing is sweet and will definitely move but it's bulky af.

Im a disabled almost 50 yr old with a 5 yr old so. A bigger family car minus an 8 cyl. Probably go for a more economical car. Although the sho isnt out of the race. Found another Taurus minus the bad ass motor and awd for mor than half off the sho. So.
Poor & disabled

But thanks for some good info...

Mine claims 32mpg but the reality is more like 23mpg. You will be able to find out the real mpg on a forum or something. A good rule of thumb is add 15% to any claimed mileage to get a more real world figure.

Mostly in love with the twinn turbo AWD just seems like a great way to get the power to the ground.
My Chevy just died at 240k and would still be running if i hadn't abused her.

I used to drive a Liberty GT turbo & it was a brilliant drive. Plenty of AWD grip & you can get all the power down. The hoon in me says get the AWD twin turbo but keeping shit real 80k is the age where expensive parts like turbos can go suddenly & are expensive to fix.

Realistically your best bet would be to buy a NA 6 cylinder RWD popular family car with a full service history/log books.


I am seriously fucking over Renault Australia. Now I have to take my car back in two weeks for them to remove the spoiler & provide photographic evidence to head office the spoiler is faulty. Regardless of what happens resolution wise I will be sending a strongly worded email to their key Australian staff explaining why they will never get a new car sale from me or anyone I can influence. This recall business has really fucked me off.

Fuck reality, make yourself happy, only one life....

@Stevenski I'm surprised at the trouble your getting from a new car sale, they should be looking after you better...

Not gonna get my bike this weekend, as I have to wait for it's ceramic coat to be applied...

Is it sad that I'm now having trouble sleeping because of the excitement????
Its kind of annoying... I'm tired...
It's all a bit stressful, when I should be enjoying this time...

It is not exactly new as it is 2 years old now & the service was done at a different dealer network. Still a shitty situation & entirely avoidable with rudimentary QC when it was getting repaired.

The anticipation is always stressful when getting a new toy but it is worth the wait.

Damn those crotch rockets... hot hot!
My friend finally got me to go a super bike race in NJ after 30 years.
We met his all time idol Wayne Rainey I think . Wayne was in a super high tech wheel chair which he whipped around and took a picture with my friend.
Boy my friend was over the moon!
Racing guys are super cool off the track.

He was probably doing between 170 & 180 mph when he went down.
He was an absolute mad man. Thats why he was the world champ.

@Stevenski thanks bro its a 08 chevy eqinox

Nice ride dude, just picked up a brand new 1500 outdoorsman in silver (crewcab) with the black 20" rims. Holy shit what an upgrade over my hyundai elantra! lol But the fuel economy is more than twice as bad! lol Worth it!

Past rides:
Hyundai Elantra GLS (170hp 6spd)
Hyundai Genesis 6 spd (turbo modded 275hp)
Mazda MX6 (88 5 spd and a 93 atx)

LOVE sports cars, and the Genny had tonnes of room, but i'm 6'3 and 41yo now and require the space and comfort of a truck now! Since it's the HEMI, it blows most sporty cars on the road anyway. Also got the bench seat up front for extracurricular activities! Giggity!

Well, out with the "old" and in with the new! Due to changing circumstances I was kinda forced to trade in the truck in order to get "tax savings" on a new ride so I wouldn't lose money. Long storey, but basically went down to just the truck to share with the girlfriend, but that didn't work out (the sharing of one ride not the g/f! haha) so she got a new SUV and I went with my new all time favourite ride: 2017 Subaru WRX!!! This baby destroys any ride i've ever had and what a blast do drive with the 6 spd manual! Went with the top trim Sport Tech to boot!

And my summer tires/rims I just put on (these are stock):

And the awesome WRX STI I was able to test drive that made me fall in love! If the stars align later this year I will be financially sound enough to get the STI! And redesigns are coming for 2020! POW!

LOVE 4 cylinder turbos! :rockon: And the Subaru quality is so sweeeeet!:drool:

Congratulations @biohacker that's a brilliant car..
I'm a huge subaru fan...

Can't go wrong with a Subaru, they are built mechanically solid, and the boxer engine is amazing.. not to mention the chassis, the mechanical grip alone is impressive on all Subarus..

I need another scooby....
