Oh
Sometimes it gets like that here.

[Ad Bot]

[Caution]

That's snow.

And fixed.

[Alyx Vance]

Oh. Well damn, thats insane.

[Caution]

I just had to drive home 30 miles in that. It was a good time.

[e-maxx]

have you even seen a aluminum frame plow snow?

no?


well now you have

[Alyx Vance]

Damn man, at least you got home safely

Once my dad decided to teach me to drive at midnight, while it was foggy and rainy. To make things worse the back windshield was fogged and I didn't have a right side mirror, then ontop of that we were on a road known for wrecking people. Many people refuse to drive that road in the best of weather

[Georges]

Haha, that's great!

The fog we get sometimes sucks too. I have night class but this would have been way worse at night. Rain sucks at night too on the highway. At least when its this windy, the snow just blows right over the highway instead of sitting on it.

I said "Want me to pull your car around for you?" because he was drunk. Instead he decided "Nah we are going to learn to drive"
So I basically had to teach myself right at that point, he had my drive down the hill, then turn at the local ISP building. After that I would drive back up and then back down, go to the road across, back out and go back up.
We ran out of gas on the second time up :/

Luckily I wasn't on a highway, but it was still pretty bad.

ok i think i need an amp with at least 8 channels. (im told)
minimum 650w since thats my old one.

whats a decent brand one i could get thats not ridiculously priced.

[Caution]

Well I dropped $600 or so dollars on my Intrigue today.

I went to replace my control arms because the bushings and ball joints were shot. I broke the sway bar links in the process since they were so damn rusty. Then another technician noticed by sway bar was cracked on both sides and bound to completely break so I ordered a kit with complete brackets, bolts and a solid new sway bar. Threw all that stuff in and then felt the front end again and felt that I had an outter tie rod end loose which I ordered up but I ran out of time. So tomorrow I'll throw it in and align it so it'll be $600-$700 dollars when its all said and done, and that would've been so much more if I didn't get discounts.

Your guys' car recommendations for 25-30k budget?

Your guys' car recommendations for 25-30k budget?

My opinion is Nissan 370z or Scion FR-S. I'm only 14 thought, and have driven neither of these cars. I've never driven a car, actually.

[Caution]

FR-S's are pretty neat. I like Chargers too.

[$trinick]

I drive a 370z so obviously I'd reccomend that, but it is going to be $30 rather than $25. So I think you'd probably do better aiming for an FR-S if you wanted a sports car. It really depends on what kind of car you want, if you want something quick with utility I'd reccomend a WRX. If you just want a fuel efficient car to get you and some friends from point A to B without being too flashy, I'd recommend a Prius. If you wanted a little more luxury, I'd say get a used 328i or 128i. You could even go for a used e46 m3 if you were willing to get a used car. Again, it all depends. Insurance cost is a factor too.
