Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Sounds too gaudy for me. Jags should sound a bit more sophisticated IMO. Not like an 'murices V8. Not that there is anything wrong with that, it just doesnt match the car.

 

Awesome! Speed3's are epic. Buddy of mine wanted to get a first gen

I'm not a big fan of the V8 myself, I would rather have the V6S.

I want a 1999 Honda Civic LX. 

But I'm sure as hell not keeping it stock. 

I'm gonna sleep it to the end of time, B18C type R engine. Turbonetics T3 at 12PSI, electronic cutout at the manifold. When closed, it'll go through stock exhaust and be a quiet daily at 250hp. 

But when opened, it's a fire breathing 370hp monster.

Eric S. Raymond used an E6600 from 2005 until 12/30/14 or open source software creation. Raw data computations in excess of 18GB each. Core 2 Duos still have tons of life left, my friend.

I love the tesla but everyone i know hates it, not sure why but low emissions = feminine 

 

Im not sure why but i guess killing the atmosphere and delayed torque is manly.

most people who think of eco /electric cars think prius. at least here.

for your friends it could be because its american made.

 

now i have to find pictures of my cars.

Strangely I don't have a picture of mine.. that way I don't have to scour the internet looking for a model that's close enough to mine...

I'm fortunate enough to have a mom who saved up money for a bit to buy our truck outright. And I think the reason I didn't make the insurance go up is because I aced my driving test.

My Grandma owned a Giant hospital in Sydney and had like 10's of millions.  But my Grandpa took it and gave it all to a slut when he died.  Still, I want my grandma's car. 

If I could have any car, I've wanted this one MY WHOLE LIFE!

I'm so dumb, I don't even know what good gas mileage is.   I know what an awesome truck is though, and that is one of them.

A 2015 Volkswagen Golf gets "up to 37 mpg" and weighs half as much as my truck.

Yeah, it was a prototype that never came to be. I want to weld a frame together myself and make some fiber glass body panels for it.

theSLSAMG... liking an SLS AMG?! whaaaaat  :P

 

I wouldn't mind an old AMG car. A 300e Hammer would be pretty epic.

I quite like old hi-po Mercs...

Now, I'm all for a nice Mazda, but you need a new set of wheels.. Those are too chrome, at least for my taste. Everyone to their own though. So if you like them, that's fine.. your ride. Really sweet car nonetheless  :)
