Typically I keep them closed unless I'm going to be turning on to the highway where I can actually get a few RPM out of it, especially since it's winter and the windows are staying up. I don't know how much of a difference it'll make just going around at 60kph, but next time I go somewhere I'll keep them open and check.  (Once it gets warm out I'll start using my nice camera and try to get some glamour & road trip shots)

I don't think I've heard any V6 that sounds as good as your everyday burbly Mustang or whatever. I guess I'll have to pay more attention to the sound next time I see one.

Great. It has Winter tires, AWD, and winter driving mode. Compared to the car it's replacing it's like driving in summer. There haven't been any days with fresh snow on the ground yet since I got it, but it's so far been flawless on packed snow and ice.

I bought an old truck                  It's a 1985 Toyota Hilux Surf, 5 speed manual equipped with the 2L-T turbo diesel 4 cyl. 4x4, AC, beautifully maintained. I don't know exactly why the previous owner picked out the fabric they did for the seat covers and center console arm rest, or why they sheep skinned (???) the shift boots. Whatever, it has fender mirrors, those wicked sick stripes and no rust of any kind at all so I will deal with (remove) that when it gets here. Special mention that this is the 907th Hilux Surf that came off the line according the the Frame No.

Fender mirrors are the best. What car has both fender mirrors and pop-up headlights? I need something new to lust after. Also, I love the speakers on the tailgate. What is this?

BraveUlysses posted:oh my god how much did that cost $6500. It is in Japan though so figure around $9500 for it in my driveway, titled tagged. I generally don't spend this much but I usually don't buy to keep either. I'm thinking though that this Surf is going to become my wife's car to replace her Tracker. When she drives the Rugger or Crown around and people ask her "woah what??" she can now drive the Hilux which is much more eye-catching, says Toyota, and is just fantastic looking and reply back "Why you want one?" Catch that hot Back to the Future demo. Plus first-gen Hilux/4Runners could take their tops off ala the Tracker which we both really like. BlackMK4 posted:The awesome jack that came with Toyota trucks until at least as late as the 100 series Land Cruiser came out That bag has got to be the fluid reservoir for the rear washer, my Rugger has one in the rear door. Having it's rear tailgate instead of a huge door they probably shoved it in with the bottle jack.

the transmission in my S60 was beginning to make some really worrying noises, so I decided to trade it in before poo poo got expensive. I know it’s a generic economy sedan, but I absolutely love this thing. It feels just as quick as my 250hp Volvo, probably owning to he fact that it weighs 700lb less.

Rock My Socks! posted:the transmission in my S60 was beginning to make some really worrying noises, so I decided to trade it in before poo poo got expensive. Is that the Sport? The Accord in general is a great car but the Sport is my favorite trim level since you can actually get them in the 6-speed Edit: I guess yours isn’t the Sport since you have the chrome.

It’s a Civic, so none of the above! It’s easy to confuse the two these days; the 10th gen Civic is nearly as big as the Accord. Mine is an EX-T, which is the lowest sedan trim that offers the 1.5T engine. It does have a CVT, but it’s much more tolerable than the Subaru and Nissan CVT units that I’ve driven in the past. I looked at the Sport models, and while I like the look of that hatchbacks, you sacrifice a ton of features (namely Apple Carplay and the cool all-digital instrument cluster)

Darchangel posted:Sweet! How is it? Reviews have been very positive. I'd like one, but it's just not in the budget right now. Well I can't say I've driven it very much yet. I think it had 30 miles on it when I parked it just now, but it's great. I got to attend one of the Kia Stinger Experience Tour events where they set up an autocross course at FedEx Field parking lot outside D.C., so I got to thrash around an Audi then drive the Stinger, then ride in the Stinger while a professional driver did the course. I couldn't believe how well it accelerated and handled for something so heavy. Visibility out the rear is garbage compared to my Optima, as is gas mileage, but everything else is fantastic. A++ would recommend. *aside from the lovely microsoft UVO system which still won't play mp3's on a usb drive in proper order either by filename or track number in the id3 tag, but instead relies solely on the track title tag.
