What do you mean?

it's good to talk a lot!

[Camaro_91_00]

Haha no worries. I know what you mean. Unfortunately, since I lack car knowledge, I have no choice but to use their services most times =P My car isn't too flashy (its a 2007 civic) but it gets the job done. How are you managing with these gas prices though? I know you guys are getting buttwipped at $4/gallon, while we in canada have been paying over $5/gallon for the longest while =D If Israel attacks Iran this summer, you can say bye bye to road trips lol, unless you can afford $8/gallon gasoline

Oh and btw, i finished posting who your sci fi relative is

Actually, it isn't too bad right now. It could me MUCH better if I was in a v6 or a 4-cylinder, but for a v8 she isn't too bad. It's something about the Corvette motors... they are very efficient for their size! When she is up to date on maintenance, and I don't speed race everywhere (Which is rarely... but still), she gets pretty close to 30 highway. And I knoww! it's about 3.90 here. I've actually been considering getting a street bike for the summer to save on gas.

And I will go check that

Yeah a few of my american friends have considered a bike as well. I dunno...I wish I had the cash to get myself a slick hybrid. Tesla is coming out with a new model called the Tesla Model S that is fully electric and a base price of like 50k, which is amazing because the car could easy go for 70 or 80k base. Not sure if you're into the whole hybrid/electric car thing though

Yeah, I was kind of looking into the Suzuki Hayabusa; it's the fastest production bike out there. It's a 1300 CC, 300 hp bike, and it still gets about 40 mpg. I was like

But I've run into Tesla stores a couple of times, and I like them. I just don't quite UNDERSTAND them, but that is alright. Something new to learn!

Date: 4/9/2012 Thought of the day

SECOND POST OF THE THREAD!!! WHOO!!!

So, nothing much to post. The only exciting thing??

A FERRRREEEETTT!!!



^^ I will be picking him up tomorrow

On another note, I am just packing and preparing for the move on Thursday (Not too sure if there is wifi in the house, so who knows how long I will be absent from the site...). Pretty stoked.


Sorry this post is super boring, but it is only the wee morning of the day, and I will probably post a second for today!

That sounds good...how much is it? And yeah, Tesla's are beastly. I think their electric-powered sports car can go 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds

Ermmmh... Anywhere from 9-13k. /:

I've seen the Tesla at the raceways a couple times up here, and they've impressed me. It's kind of like, "Why is an electric car-" *Poof* Gone (<--Poof because they are quiet xD). But I've also seen the prices on them... They're still nice, none the less!


And Right?

Hey, camaro...you seem to know your cars, so I have a question for you. I want a fuel efficient reliable car. Nothing expensive, something that will just allow me to drive far (150 miles) twice a week. I was thinking a honda or a toyota. Are those the best for what I'm looking for?

Eesh.
As much as I do not condone buying foreign (Depending on where you live...)
I would recommend Subaru. Maybe a Legacy or a Justy. Older. You can pick one up for less than a grand, they are cheap to repair, and they are pretty gas efficient. Any import is going to be a good D.D, Subarus just seem to be the cheapest. (<--Even though I hate imports for anything more then a putt putt car.)

Hope this helped

[yellowmelon]

Oh, well what do you recommend? It doesn't have to be imported, I just thought those were the best? Lol

[yellowmelon]

I mean, I know you recommended a Subaru, but which is the best car (domestic or imported) for what I'm looking for? I thought domestic cars were crappy

[Camaro_91_00]

Oh gosh no, I am more of a domestic person all the way...
And I have the satisfaction of having better quality AND supporting my country's economy.

Many people say import is better because they 'get all this gas mileage' or 'They last for so long, my Subaru has 300k miles!", As if saying this is a feat an American car can never accomplish... My boyfriend's father owns a S-10 blazer that is pushing 333k miles, and my own father has a V8 3rd gen Camaro that is at 225,000 miles, and still runs like new. EVERY car can last, as long as you take care of it.

What is your price range?
