I had assumed we follow posted speed limits in Car Talk

 

Speed limits are one thing, but nobody specified how I can get up to speed.

I don't mean shredding tires all the time, but I think most car enthusiasts enjoy an occasional row through the gears.

 

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I was suggesting transplanting the GT500 motor into the Falcon for a 4-door rocket.

 

What ??? You traded your M car for hyundai? When? Why? And Why?

 

Family. And he got a nice Genesis sedan out of it. Could be worse. Could have traded a nice B6 S4 for a Mazda3 like I stupidly did.

 

Start here and read to the end of the thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/showpos...&postcount=509

 

thats very sad my friend but you did it right

 

HA, I came in the thread to say the same thing. Saw a red one and caught my eye.

 

i wish i had a manual

i swear when i drive i'm very inconsistent. Its like a pregnant woman's hormones. Constantly changing. Sometimes fast, slow, normal, and the extremes

 

Im always in "get the fuck out of my way" mode, but thats just the New Yorker in me

 

Might explain your axles

 

I dont like you right now.

 

No problem man, and yes I agree, that would be a great sleeper. would rip silly M5's to shreds

 

And probably be substantially less expensive to maintain as well.

 

x2. weird looking.

 

2600+ FR-Ss sold in June and Scion was up 134% YoY =o

 

one of my uncles is in the market for a new car.

He is basically in between the G37 and A4. I'm trying to get him to get the A4 but he says he doesnt see how he can pay so much and get a 4 cylinder haha. He hasnt driven it yet. BUt maybe when he does he will understand that the tsi is no slouch. I'm gonna go test drive with him hopefully i'll get to drive it too.

 

Tell him it is the wave of the future

 

Demon, tell him to get an S4 then. Although I don't think Audis are really known for their bang-for-buck factor.

Looking for a beater to run around in and not put too much money into.

Olds Aurora? I saw one today that's got a ton of features, and my last GM car went 8 years with nothing more than regular maintenance.

Or should I just get a Civic and call it a day? Only worry is theft, I don't live in the greatest neighborhood anyways.

 

This is what I deal with.......forward to the 1:45 mark. Note the limit of 50 & the fact the light changed when I turned & there were zero cars behind me.

 

^Happens all the time to me. Even better are the ones pulling out that pull out in front of you causing you to slam the brakes, and then proceed to dawdle, when they could've pulled out behind you as no one was there.

 

wow really... nice dash cam btw.

But next time pop the car in neutral and scare the living shit out of him

 

yea audi's are a ltl expensive and haha i'm sure the S4 is out of his budget although he brought it up saying he would want that car haha

 

damn that sucks. what an idiot.

 

is it me or are people in azine getting richer, so many nicer cars popping up in car talk...

 

Agreed.

 

makes me want a car

I'm going in the exact opposite way lol with the debt i'm about to take one with grad school!

On a happier note I'm gonna be detailing my car tomorrow

Wash, clay bar, polish, and wax! I've only waxed my car once a year since i've had it never done the other stuff haha.

I'll be doing it all by hand and by myself, gonna die lol.

Got any tips for polishing/waxing? Not really pro, my understanding is do a small area in circular mostion and wipe dry with microfiber? That it??

 

If you know someone with an orbital buffer, use that as it will be much easier on your entire body, really.

I'm no pro either but having done it by hand sucks in comparison. Just don't keep the buffer constantly moving, never in one spot... wouldn't recommend a rotary at all for a beginner

 

It's 3,500lbs, actually. And technically, only 20lbs. more than the SV.

Though, I then presume you're not a fan of the 512 Belinetta, Veyron, GT-R, R8, SLS, ZR1, etc. All cars within' 100lbs. less or a bit more of the Aventador.

Not that weight really affects a few of these companies anymore.

 

dunno anyone.... all by hand!

Gonna be starting now, gonna be a work out lol.

 

wait, I'm seeing 3470 for the Aventador!!!

who said 3800?????????

3400 is fine. 3500 is OK too.

(Thanks)

 

No, we're getting older and making more money IMO.

 

getting richer = making more money?

 

So this is where you have all been racking up those ridiculous post numbers. This thread is almost as bad as the "What's everyone doing today?"

 

In my case it's being smart with your $. Haven't had a raise in 3 years.

 

Not necessarily. Lots of people got married and now have wives spending all their money

 

My mistake.

Nope.

Theres no denying the performance of that car, but I still dont like it.

Similar boat with the Veyron, though the GT-R is growing on me.

Love this one, but I dont consider this a super car.

Same as above.

Hate it, Id rather have a Z06 since the power is a bit more usable for every day driving. The Z06 is nearly 200lbs lighter then the ZR1 too.

 

Regardless if they are or not, you only brought up weight as your complaint against the Aventador. How I am supposed to know the reasoning behind just, "Its a 3800lb car"?

Usable power has never been an issue with the C6 generation of Corvette. You can use a ZR1 just as much as you can a Z06 on the street.

 

I'll chalk it up under the "semantic" column.

 

No, that thread is for the most part, stupid. If I wanted to know what everyone in Ramblings was doing I would add every single one of you on facebook. Unless you're doing something bad ass like skydiving with Jerry Rice or something... in which case that deserves its own thread.

The funny part is people in Ramblings make fun of facebook.... then post in that thread
