areaseven Posted April 2, 2006 Author Posted April 2, 2006 Lamborghini knockoff? 386717[/snapback] I thought so at first, but at least it won't fall apart like a real Lambo would. And it looks like the Ultimate Aero will give Bugatti and Koenigsegg a run for their money.

emajnthis Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 (edited) doesn't really have a lot of torque considering it's HP is in the 1,000's, at first glance i mistook it for a Koenigsigg. A1, i actually spotted a Cayman S yesterday on the way back from a pet expo, it is very distinguishable among all of the other porche's on the market in it's unique styling and road capability (he was flying through the curvy back road that we were on, i can only assume that he just got the car). I can't remember where i read it (R&T?) but they pinned a Carrera 4 S vs the Cayman S on a track and road course and the Cayman was victorious (but then you knew that all along, better platform), but break neck speed of course the Carrera will win but at an extra 30,000 dollars! With that much money you can put a RUF motor in your Cayman and be faster than a Porsche Turbo. My 2 cents, but go for the Cayman, it is probably the best Porsche on the market and if its performance isn't up to par, then RUF is a phone call away. Edited April 2, 2006 by emajnthis
Raptor Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 My RX-7 runs now... hurray. Still can't drive it though (although I did take it for a short spin...).
Lightning Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 I'm guessing it must be insurance or inspection/liscense plate issues.
Raptor Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Well, besides the fact that I have no insurance (has a plate though), it's mainly because the engine makes wierd noises when it's revving out of gear (clanking) and backfires (in the intake, not the exhaust) when I give it throttle under load (while driving)... I still have to replace a broken air temperature sensor (ordered it already) and set the timing (it's set to full retard, to see if the popping would go away... it didn't). So it's running richer than Bill Gates right now... which might be the cause of some of the popping, rather than just a timing issue. And also replace the vacuum hose for the brake booster (almost no brakes without it)... and a lot of other stuff that's wrong, although most of it doesn't matter as much (like a broken antenna).
Dangaioh Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Today I just joined the gas guzzler of the world... I just bought a Honda CRV LX edition w/0 down, my first vehicle. Now, the devil must have the heater on high by now, because it should be cold down there. >

areaseven Posted April 5, 2006 Author Posted April 5, 2006 (edited) Rocket Punch, you had to bring that pic up, didn't you? Hopefully, no one here would do something stupid like "quoting" it. Edited April 5, 2006 by areaseven
pfunk Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 that thing is so ugly, i vote to have it removed from the site
emajnthis Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 The CR-V gets 23mpg combined, that's inline with all of its other compeititors and is pretty good over all. If Honda used a V8, or rather if Honda HAD a V8 then the gas mileage would suck, but under powered V6's is as far as they go.
emajnthis Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 my co worker just bought an excursion and is getting about 10mpg combined; i'm surprised his wallet hasn't plotted his murder yet.
Lightning Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 now THAT is guzzling, unless my Chrysler was packing about 600hp, then it definately would not be worth it.

Ignacio Ocamica Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Ok, I feel stupid but this is what I'm currently riding 98' Honda Cr80 Fortunately, where I live you can get away with riding these bikes on public street! Next month I'm buying a Renault Megane II with my girlfriend (European cars are very common in South America )
areaseven Posted April 5, 2006 Author Posted April 5, 2006 Dude, don't feel bad. We have some bike riders here, too. Honda bikes run forever, no matter how you run them. BTW, how good is the Megane? Renault left the U.S. in the mid-1980s, so I don't know much about them.
Lightning Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 the Megane was a pretty good touring car on the BTCC circuit....
Rocket Punch Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 The French police have switched from using Meganes to WRXs because the Meganes aren't fast enough. Story here.

emajnthis Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Renault is a great company (of course European based only) and are going to extend their lineup in the US through Nissan with the debut of the Versa (to compete with the Yaris and the Fit, if i'm not mistaken it's a five door Megane). Also to my disappointment, i read an article on the Honda Fit and am thoroughly disappointed (has worse amenities than an xA with a higher sticker price of 14,000), stick to the Yaris coupe or the Versa five door (both starting at 12k). The Yaris is the Vitz in Japan which is beyond famous for being a great econo car and the Versa is a Renault (hopefully they'll bring the three door version with the five door) in Europe which carries the same reputation (now if Nissan brings the March that would be the smartest move ever). The Meganes look friggin cool, and from several reviews that i've read are cheap to maintain and very very reliable.
emajnthis Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 The French police have switched from using Meganes to WRXs because the Meganes aren't fast enough.Story here. 388098[/snapback] That's a way better (and more expensive) car to switch over to, but i bet the police are loving it.

We drive Fiat, Volkswagen, Citröen, Peugeot, Renault, Audi, BMW, Mercedes and a lot of SUV's being the Grand Cherokee and the Toyota Hilux SW4 the most sold. Here's the Megane I'm buying.
areaseven Posted April 6, 2006 Author Posted April 6, 2006 That looks pretty good. Hit us up with some pics when you get it.

reddsun1 Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 It's been said here before [or the old thread, anyway] that cars in pics with scantily-clad women usually are pretty lame on their own merits. I say, true enough. Take this one for example. I'm sure this car sucks. No, there really is a car in this pic....honest.
Rocket Punch Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 I say good show, old boy! So nice to see a white girl with ass.
