Title: What kind of car do you drive?
Post by: UserLoser. on July 25, 2004, 01:24 PM
I drive a red 1995 Pontiac Sunfire.  It was my mom's old car, so I didn't have to pay a dime for it, so eh!

2000 Mustang GT. I don't suggest buying them. I don't like it.
I'm looking into a nice '99 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 though. I like that.  :D

Ever since I've been taking a bus, I've saved tons of money.  $55/month for a buspass compared to >$100/month I was spending on gas (gas is ~$3.50/gallon here), and $180 four times a year for insurance.  My parents offered to give me the van because they wanted a new one, but I refused -- I'm happier using the bus.

More like $41.6956. Which is good considering it's $1/ride and he rides twice a day at least and there's ~30 days/month so he saves about 20 dollars.

Post by: iago on July 26, 2004, 12:34 AM
It's actually $1.80 each time.  And it's $55 for a student, $68 for adult, so I save money there.  And technically, I ride the bus 4 times a day (it takes 2 busses to get there).

So $1.80 * 4 = $7.20/day.  I go 5 times a week, or 20 times a month, so it would be $144/month.  Since I spent $55, I save $89, gg.  

Incidentally, that's ~usd$70, not much less :P

OK ... here is the car I am buying this weekend..... it will not have all the aerodynamics kit until I get it back from Sweden and have Evolve Cars in California (http://www.evolvecars.com) send them to me, I get them painted to match, and installed.  The wheels I am replacing with something nicer.  I don't like the ones shown here, and while the HREs that Evolve sells are nice, I have different taste.

Ha! My car is the best! A '97 red Dodge Neon! Manual transmission, power NOTHING! Only one speaker works and the back passenger door is held shut by a pair of boxers. The turn signal stick is broken off two inches after it comes out of the steering colum. No glove box. Passenger side window cracked. Clutch makes squeeking noises. No dome light. Trunk does not open. Gas tank has a dent, so when the gauge says 1/2 its really just about empty. Thick white smoke comes out of the air conditioner. Drivers side door blue.

That is my car. HAHAHA! I HAVE THE BEST CAR IN THE WORLD!  ;D

Oh hell yes, I was able to chirp the tires going into second gear tonight, on two of my runs.  You're not supposed to be able to do that because of the extremely stick 18" Pirelli tires and the Volvo's computer taking 500 readings per second and adjusting prior to an actual tire slippage.  Probably because there were 3 adults in the car the added weight made it possible, but I don't know.  On the S60R forums and on SwedeSpeed, people were tossing around ideas of how to actually break the tires loose, and it is very hard for even those racing types.

Thats the North Face Edition Chevy Avalanche. I like it because it has all the features that I need in a truck, 4WD, plenty of torque in low gears, lots of cargo space with the removable rear window and collapsable seats, tons of towing capacity, and enough ammenities to keep me comfortable all the while.

The Escalade is a piece of shit. It's nothing but chrome and fake wood. It has next to no towing capacity even if you get the tow package, it wouldn't even come close to being efficent as an off road vehicle, and its more than 60k. It's an overgrown station wagon. It gets the worst gas mileage. Its for rich white people and wannabe gangsters and is totally useless in any sort of meaningful capacity.

The Avalanche has 5 ton towing capacity, a Vortec 5300 V8 with more low end torque than you could possibly need, tons of cargo space for dirt bikes, kayaks, etc. and tons of little amenities to make those trips comfortable. Also, I'll get mine for about 22k-25k at the most. The Escalade is a joke.

Do you know of any sites that have pictures of someone driving off road with a Avalanche I looked through a couple of sites and couldn't find any. It really seems to me there are better trucks to do that in.

Escalades have no practical purpose. They are 'pimp'? They are a waste of funds, steel, chrome, and fake wooden siding.
You can waste chrome and fake wooden siding?  Neither should be used in the first place, especially on cars.

I love chrome.  The more the better, that's why I glide in The Prairie Schooner A.K.A. 94 Fleetwood Brougham.  That's pronounced "Bro - Ham" by the way.

Bolted on a bigger exhaust, but what's with the second exhaust tip?  It's single exhaust.  The one on the right looks like it's just hanging off the bumper :p  Not really dual exhaust.  It's an inline-4 cylinder, and the header goes to the single exhaust pipe, then the back of the car shows two tips!  heh.

Otherwise, looks like he put in a cold air intake, which will help thrust and responsiveness most of the time.

Tell him to do wheels and brakes next.  You want big brakes on there before you start putting in more power on the engine, or you'll end up crashing it because the brakes cannot compensate for all the new power.  Believe me I have 13" Brembo brakes and have used them several times already.

Not as much done to it as I saw earlier when I was workin on no sleep. For some reason I saw the intake as a turbo and the pipe running down to a intercooler. But it's still not a bad looking little car.
Title: Re:What kind of car do you drive?
Post by: Archonist on September 19, 2004, 07:51 AM
About the exhaust, he said:

No, a full dual exhaust is straight back from the header (basically v8 style but only some 8's) Now a setup like I have is a 3 inch pipe to the magna flow muffler which goes to 2 different pipes one is 2 inch, the main one, and the other is 1.5 inch. This setup is beneficial to the sound as well as high end horse power. Basically, they both work.

Also, he's thinking about getting a turbo, that's probably his next project. He also just bought new brakes, grok.

Case of motor oil, along with a mag-lite (blue to match the car haha), some pool noodles, a beach ball, paper towels, and a bottle of windex. No Grok though, sorry.

The beach ball and noodles are used for a game I invented with friends one very dull summer night. It's basically field hockey, but the beach ball is the puck and the noodle is your stick. To score, you hit the oppents light post, or tree.

Edit: There's a squeegee somewhere in that trunk too, along with the dvd navigation system.

A few years ago my dad got my grandma's old Cavailer (she's always had a compact car, grandpa's always had suburbans) when she got a new Buick LeSebre (however you spell it) and ended up putting it in a snowbank in the middle of the road (how did the snowbank get there in the first place) like 500yds from home. Never drove that thing again. =)
