Let's talk about cars

I want this one but have no way to justify it other than to pis*s off cargo.

Hey, cargo, it's a 2005 fossil with 88k miles - the kind of car you wouldn't be caught dead in. I just like collecting old junky cars so with this one I will have three.

Is it convertible?

Yes, it is.

I used to have one like this and sold it two years ago. Had it for 9 years and put about 100k miles on it. Now I want it back...but with more colors. Mine was silver on black.

The convertible is in a class of its own, but is is just an old car.

...and I am an old man who likes real wood. I can't stand chrome and plastic pretending to be aluminum.

He drives one of these.............

HooT !

From dailymail:

Driverless cars may need GENDER SETTINGS after study shows women are better than men at taking control of the vehicle when required to respond to hazards

Now, just for a second, imagine what would happen to a study and the suicidal maniacs who would actually conduct it if that study would prove that men are better drivers than women.

Like it needed to be proven...

My new car has an active cruise control. I am delighted with it, makes driving a lot safer, even in Poland.

It's a good idea on paper. Like all the other tech gizmos, they relieve the driver from paying attention. The ultimate being self-driving cars. The question is who goes to jail when that car kills somebody. The guy who wrote the software?

It looks like brand new now.. KBB has it listed for $18K. I did very well and its not salvaged as I have a clean title.

Make up all the lies you want, it doesnt bother me. I have the facts on my side and your are the forum clown, nothing has changed around here.

I see youre still on PF around the clock every single day. No job, no money , no life. Good for you! HOOT!

Hey Mazur I just bought 15 miles 2022 GX 460 dark blue loaded 78k with tax and fee etc,the other silver RX is 2018 is my sons what a great ride man I tell you.Only problem is to enter exit my garage with folded side mirrors.

Why do you buy such big cars in this America. Does everyone have 5 kids?

Obesity.

One (over)big car for four fatties?

Yes.

That and historically cheap petrol, the same cheap petrol that led to mile after mile of suburbs and poor public transport.

Oh boy, are they going to get a shock....

Sour grapes?

I drive a truck and it feels good to have a steel frame under me in case someone plows into me.
Those cheap tin can Euron clown cars would be squashed if a 3/4 ton pickup truck t-boned them.
That's why.

I have a Ram 1500 6cyl and really not that bad on gas.


Gas used to be cheap before the tyrannical Biden took over.

I drive 44 years tin can Euron clown cars ( even my only one American car Ford Probe was tiny) and thanks God never had an accident.

If one spends so much on a car who cares about gas.


Nope,its called safety,luxury and affordability.

@Cargo pants
And I thought it was only a delusion of grandeur.

Today? In some neighborhoods, every other car is a Lexus. BFD! The rest are Beemers and Mercs.

Yesterday, I went to test drive an RC350. Nice car except for the bolsters. Who and why decides that if a car is "sporty" that car must have the most uncomfortable seats ever is still a mystery.

Just to be sure that I am not overlooking the point of bolsters, I often ask what that crap is for beyond making 90% of Americans swear and walk away. So far, nobody was able to explain why a daily car needs those damn bolsters except "to corner faster". My comment that anybody who corners that fast should be in prison for reckless driving ends the conversation.

Those bolsters, hard like plywood seats, straight pipes as mufflers, hard suspension, 20-inch rubber bands pretending to be tires prove that men are just as stupid as women on 5-inch heels.

Fiat 126 has just celebrated its 50th birthday. It was my first car. Happy Birthday maluch, bambino, centoventisei, niki, bombel etc.🥂

Man dont those cars are uncomfortable to get in and out?The country I was born in(India), most people sit on floor but is not for me esp the cars I have foot boards.I just found out my car has unlimited wifi hotspot lol and gives me a comfort feeling(hard on) with ventilated seats when I go to gym in morning in shorts.Guess you like fast cars and I like luxury.

My car insurance(Travellers insurance) will give me 15% off if we all members on the policy download there app(intellidrive) that monitors our driving and 25% next year.is it new in the US as we didnt change insurance and I shopped around and they were charging double.Fu*cking even luring us to get controlled.

I got a text saying that I brake too hard etc.Biatch ass sent me this in email after a week,plus about all my trips.

  Damn no privacy.
  

It drives me crazy...I have the money and the desire to buy another car but no good reason.

No matter how hard I try to justify it I can't because the one I have is so fu*cking perfect. Runs, feels, and looks like new. Because of the age (car, not me) and the mileage, cargo wouldn't be caught dead in it, but I am not cargo with my Germanic school of economics.

Yes, I know I can't take it with me...

@Novichok
Breakups are always hard.

Hey Mazur what kind of mouse you have in your RX?I hate the freaking laptop type mouse in mine,still prefer the old ones they had with a knob.I already put 1000 miles,freaking runs so smooth on these crappy American roads.I love the unlimited wifi for 5 gadgets so I can use my Polish cell all the time..

I test drove the new crappy Bronco today,felt like the old Bronco laid an egg,so small.I would prefer the old one in which OJ led the cops.

I just went somewhere with a Pole in his car and saw the same small pillow like thing,in Poland also they use to wipe there windscreen with it when it gets fogged,I have seen Poles in Poland also have a rag and always wondered why they use that,just found out that dumb guys dont know how to use the defroster button.The guy has been driving in the States for over 30 years and didnt know it,I think even the Maluchs have it.LOL something new to teach them in Poland when I get back.Now I finally got my answer why they didnt use the defogger,lol
