I bought a new car (the "I wanna be like Gugs" thread)...

[neal]

most practical use for those ive seen yet

Holy Sheikh!




so wrong yet damn impressive

EDIT ... holy crap ... around the 6 minute mark there is footage from inside the car ... it makes Ken Block look like a girly man.

 

[lurch70]

oh yeah and Miller ... Camry's are now officialy cool. go ahead and get one.

 

[dorian gray]

haha Camry

I'm getting an Odyssey. Maybe as early as this weekend.
How exciting.

 

[lurch70]

oh noes ...

btw is that you on the opening clip on this page?
http://automobiles.honda.com/odyssey/

 

[dorian gray]

haha yeah except they left out the pregnant wife

That video irks me: a minivan for two kids? That's just dumb. Two kids and you can technically still drive cars like a 911, Volvo C30, VW CC, etc

 

[dorian gray]

the wife completely balked at getting a van, btw
haha
I told her to come up with some kind of solution on her own

 

[lurch70]

Flex

 

[dorian gray]

Well....didn't sell the Accord and get an Odyssey like I so declared. In fact, I changed the oil, rotated the tires and installed new front brake pads on the Accord hahaha might as well, huh?

 

[dorian gray]

Prius wagon coming soon. I wonder how wide the back seat's gonna be.
Serious. Driving vehicles that get under 30 mpg is bullshit.

 

[lurch70]

you don't need to go hybrid for over 30mpg

 

[dorian gray]

VW Tdi?

 

[lurch70]

Hyundai has a few fairly large cars in their lineup with over 30 ... i think?!?!

i don't envy your dilemma.

 

[dorian gray]

ugh. fuck* Hyundai



*wasn't I touting them just a couple days ago?

 

[MFJ]

what's your beef with hyundai?

my focus is 2002 and it still gets 32mpg. one thing i definitely love about that car.

 

[dorian gray]

They're kinda junky is what I heard....inspite of their 10 year warranty

 

[neal]

well i know hyundai used to be kinda crappy and had a really high lemon ratio, but i think they turned their shit around and are pretty reliable now, and have become one of the top selling brands.

and a fucking prius wagon? come on dude, im sure you could get something better for that kind of $$$, and i thought cabin space was a big issue for you, them priuses are tiny, ugly and douchey!

 

[dorian gray]

the wagon is supposed to be bigger, yo!

I like Hyundais. I was singing their praises a couple pages back

 

[neal]

well sure its bigger than the normal one, but it still looks like a hatchback haha

RAV4s are a little cheaper and get 28hwy, highlander is about the same and still gets 25. im sure they have at least as much or more space, and definitely look better and are more fun to drive. and you can take them into the mountains and dirt roads. and they arent a fucking prius

 

[dorian gray]

I already have a Subaru Outback
