    i drive a toyota echo and i wish it had power but it is a fun car to drive as long as you dont require great bursts of speed

    although the centre of gravity is a bit high and maybe some strut bars and new springs would help stop it leaning when you throw it into tight turns
    but i aint buyin that shit it is expensive and the car is good times as it is
    lightest damn steering

    Bad idea or worst idea

    my altima is the first car i've had with leather seats. its great, until the summer when first getting in the car feels like i'm sitting in a toaster oven and i have to peel my ass out the seat when getting out and i'm drenched in sweat. gross. and its really hard to fabreeze leather seats

    When I was getting my pathfinder I had a choice between '07 LE with beige leather or '08 with regular fabric and I went with the '08 primarily for that reason.

    Unfortunately I also gave up ass-warming seats.

    Leather cleans up a lot better than upholstery too.

    Just Bad.

    Unless you got one without AC.

    Dude come on

    That's the #1 requirement for buying cars here

    #2 is how high you can get your hick truck off the ground

    I never thought I would say this, but I would absolutely buy a Taurus SHO as my next car
    Spoiler:

    Twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 making 365hp and room for the kids in back.

    my parents are going to keep their cars forever, I'm pretty sure

    I have an 01 GSR Integra with intake and exhaust. I have a K20A3 engine to swap into it once I have a build plan. I am DYING to get a Rotrex supercharger but don't want to lose A/C. Only planning on putting 8lbs of boost through the thing or so, but I'd like to have 300hp.

    I'm sure your car is greased lightning and all of that, but Integras are on the list of cars I can't stand.

    Why?

    Then only bad. AC and a decent window tint will help a lot.


    My black leather was on a car with no tint. I left a fair bit of skin on the seats.

    My car was so cold this morning that it made my bare hands sore from holding the steering wheel.

    I need a heated steering wheel. Or gloves. Probably the second one.

    Yesterday it was so warm in my car that I got in and started sweating

    Haha, northerners

  • lostwordslostwords Registered User regular
    last week, i started my car to warm it up, and accidentally locked myself out and had to call AAA to unlock it for me because i couldn't get back in my place with extra keys. that was kinda embarassing, having the car running while waiting for the lock guy, neighbors all giving me the "oh, you poor idiot" look as they started their day

    I don't like the look of them and most people I've seen who have modified it have only made it worse.

    It's been so long since I needed to drive my car that it was extremely reluctant starting for me the other day. That's an issue.

    I know they always do that in those pictures to enhance the sense of speed, but come on, that is serious overkill.

    I get the impression that it is just trying to get you to focus wholly on the car, and not the surroundings.

    That's why I carry a spare set of keys in my jacket pocket. I'm exceptionally paranoid about locking myself out.

    Like, to the point where if I didn't have my spare keys for some reason, and had to start my car to let it warm up and got out to scrape the windows, I'd leave the door partially open just in case.

    This was never a problem on my old car btw. The old style nissan doors (non-remote access, drivers at least) used to unlock if you tried to shut them with the lock pin down. You could only lock them with the key once they were closed.

    the first truck he installed it himself and it didn't take too long

    the second one had it factory-installed because they figured out that diesels need to be warmed up a bit before you should drive them in Nothern climes

    Fair enough. Plenty of cars out there with body styles that -I- can't stand. I love the look of the Integra, but I agree to your second point.

    And to the other commenter...theft is a definite risk, but I have some security measures. I am not too worried about about it getting stolen where I live. Lots of neighbors with the more...unsightly and tastelessly modified imports around here.

    I currently have a Red 2008 Ford Fusion SEL.

    I got the Sport Package, Moon and Tune, Sync, all the fun toys. Remote start too.

    I am so in love with Sync. I want it to not just be a Ford exclusive so everyone can share in the joy. The fact that I can only get it with a Ford is part of the reason I will get another Ford. Now that I have it, I don't want to not have it.

    As NotACrook posted, 2010 Ford Taurus SHO will hopefully be my next car.

    Mine is the one in the middle.

    Man, you're coming at this all crooked.

    You're supposed to tell me my opinion is stupid and wrong and then post 15 pictures of Integras to prove your point, leading to three pages of people agreeing or disagreeing with you, and I'll respond with pictures of impossibly expensive cars, saying that they look better than your car, therefore your car sucks.


    New people.

    Sheesh.
