What type of car do you have?

[ydoaPs]

good idea. you can't open the back doors from the inside. i tried to get out of my coffin, and couldn't get out of my car. seriously, I am gonna pimp it out.

[Phi for All]

What year Caddy? Going to keep it black?

[ydoaPs]

idk. it's blue (idk y), but I am getting it painted black. i may put purple lights on the bottom.

[Dave]

I am currently the proud owner of a 2000 model Citroen Xsara 1.4i, with most of the trimmings. Which is nice.

 

i may put purple lights on the bottom.

 

Oh dear.

[ydoaPs]

you know, like neon lights. idk, was just a thought. still haven't made up my mind bout wat i am gonna do with it.

 

how much do you pay someone to drive a hurse?

[drz]

well, as my name implies, I drive a Suzuki DRZ 400S. It is a dual-sport motorcycle, can handle any terrain, and gets about 50mpg, 60 if I take it easy.

 

I voted for "A socially and environmentally responsible car that was not bought specifically for ego-massaging or selfish interests"

 

Because I travel 100 miles a day, 5 days a week. I need to bring nothing with me but myself, and a change of clothes. Since I began riding it, I've cut my gas bill to around 12 bucks a week.

 

The only disadvantage one may find, is no cover from the elements. But, if your a hard core dirt biker such as myself, you've been gettin wet all your life, and doing it on the pavement is a walk in the park.

 

yourdad, neons are cool, but you should check out LED's. If you were to make your own system, you'd save tons of cash, and could completly customize the casting of the light.

 

I'll try to get a pic up of the red LED cluster I have on my bike sometime.

 

I do intend on driving a datsun pickup in the near future, and if I can figure out this propane conversion, it may become my main vehicle.

[ydoaPs]

i have decided that red lights would be better

[Dave]

neons on a hurse?

 

This I have to see. Pictures will be required once fitted

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

Lights are stupid anyways. All they do is suck up power from the engine and light up the pavement. I don't know why you'd bother.

But I'm just a highly opinionated person.

[drz]

Well, in my case, the more you see me, the better off I am. Alot of people don't respect a motorcycle, and even less see me on the road. If I'm putting off a red glow, you are going to see me from a mile away and say "WTF is that!??"

 

I don't really like to see them on cars, but if the car is for show, cruising or whatever, cool. What I like to see is these fast and furious kiddies get neon lights, then go speeding around trying to race, and bottom the car out, crushing the lights.

 

Also, neons do take a good bit of power, but in something like a herse, which I imagine has a v6 or larger, has plenty of wasted energy to spare. Just having an alternator on a belt drags on the engine, whether it is working or not. Fully loaded, it will not make much a difference overall.

Cap'n Refsmmat is just jealous because he rides a donkey.

Q: what have Ford Escorts and Thomas the Tank Engine got in common?

dude i remember thomas from my early years! you have just made my day. grats.

[NSX]

hehe

 

me too!

 

I used to watch it on The Shining Time Station with George Carlin/Ringo Starr.

ah...great times

 

I don't understand: why would kids like the ford escort?

[budullewraagh]

i dont know. i like the bmw m3.

 

and hey, i think i'll be able to buy one someday

[Sayonara]

"Sports car" LuTze?

[deltanova]

Gee what happened to the good old Holden B&S ute??

 

Im too young to own one but my Bro-in-law has one and IT ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LuTze]

"Sports car" LuTze?

Thats what I want. I'll have one within the next year, too. A nice shiny Lotus Elise

[Sayonara]

But... why?

[LuTze]

Because they're cool

[Dave]

But the insurance will kill you - as will the very low mpg.

[LuTze]

They're not that bad for mileage, they're only 1.8 litre engines. Plus, I have a healthy no claims bonus now

[Dave]

Lucky git, I have to insure under my mom's name because the premiums are too high

 

Although that being said, this year should be better - mainly because I'll have been driving for longer.

[LuTze]

Don't hold your breath. Mine didn't start to go down by much at all until i'd got 3 years no claims, and 24 years old. Insurance companies are the devil.

[Dave]

According to the quotes I've gotten, it goes down a fair bit. But I'm staying as a named driver for at least the next 2 years.

[admiral_ju00]

Thats what I want. I'll have one within the next year, too. A nice shiny Lotus Elise

 

Lotus eh?

 

These things are still known as the "Poor man's Lamborghini"?
