Same here. What'd I'd give to drive a Caddilac De Ville.
Instead of driving a nice fancy car I've been practice driving in a car thats missing its right side mirror and is beat to hell and back.

Will almost certainly be my next car, A5 coupe black edition. 2.0L turbo diesel but I don't really care about engines.

[Alyx Vance]

Why would you get a diesel car? I don't have anything against diesels, I just don't see why you'd need a diesel car.

[Rub]

Fuel efficiency obviously.

[Alyx Vance]

What is the cars MPG

[Rub]

Quoted figure is something like 65mpg.

[BluetoothBoy]

Unfortunately, most cars never reach the quoted figure.

This. These tests are done under 100% ideal conditions to create the best results. That's not to say it won't be fuel efficient, of course, but probably not 65 mpg.

Did you see that Bugatti in St. Louis? I wanna see a Bugatti...

Also, how do you have so many cars?!

Yeah, I've seen two Bugattis in STL.  I saw one at the annual European Car Show a couple years back (I go every year) and one at St Louis Motorsports in Chesterfield (first and only Bugatti that I have touched AND stuck my head in the windows, very cool).  I'm not sure if they were the same car or not, but that's two occasions.

I have a long driveway, an oversized garage, and an unpaved drive going into the woods where we keep the cars.  The E-350 and the Versa are the only cars in normal use.

And I've collected car pictures for the past four years or so.  My dad knows all the good car places (just drive around in West County by Manchester) and I know what cars are cool and what are lame, etc etc etc.  I knew the entire Dodge line-up by name when I was 2, and I know probably 99% or all cars by sight made after the 1980s.

Pretty good, question is though will it actually meet that?

[Timezbrick]

Am I allowed to post about motorbikes?

[Rub]

No one is actually concerned that their car won't meet the quoted figure when they buy a car, but higher values are normally going to mean higher real world efficiency.

Nice. So you didn't just see them driving in the streets...
