I saw a R34 in real life before, in the US.

 

I was at a star bucks drive through and the guy behind us was in a Skyline R34 and im like No freaking way that's a real R34 so I flagged the guy down and asked him if I could look at it and the guy was chill he was like yeah yeah I get this all the time, no problem. I asked how he got it in the US and he said him in his buddy's were in Japan and what they did was bought one over their teared it down and shipped it over, and then re-assembled it in the US. He said when he bought it he bought it for 3400USD (whatever that would be in YEN) and it turns out they scrap cars over their at 40,000 miles, unbelievable right.

really??? even though those things can last forever and a day?!?!?! why would they do that?

My main rig would resemble a 2009 SSC Ultimate Aero.

or very close to a 2011 Koenigsegg Agera R

If you had to compare your PC to a car, what would it be and why?

 

Tesla model S. Why? Because both are electric...Hue.

It was a hypercar in its time

I used to be into cars, but that was a long while ago, so my knowledge is spotty at best. Hopefully the snippet I provided will be an adequate descriptor if the image isn't.

You have a good taste in cars.

 

im really not sure what job to get tbh im good at i.t, maths and science mostly but all we do in i.t is powerpoint work AND!! MY SCHOOL HAS LTT BLOCKED :angry:  :angry:

They haven't blocked LTT, they have a system that blocks websites based on what kind of site they are. I can't even go onto Valve Software's website because their system classifies it as something to do with video games.

A classic Mini Cooper. It's small and doesn't looks look bad at all.

 

I don't really play many games for gameplay anymore honestly. I play most games just for the graphics.

The case is Fractal, so I'd say it has to a Scandinavian car, what about a Volvo? And a fairly new one, since this build is ~1.4y old.

My build is mATX, so a two door car (you can fit two GPUs) is appropriate. It also isn't the tiniest. Since I actually only know the Volvo XC90, I can safely say that the XC90 is a bad comparison.

1978 Ford Fairmont. Was good. Now it's easily replaced.

There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Just some helpful stuff: You're - You are, Your - Your car, They're - They are, Their - Their car, There - Over there.

Probobly a VW Polo from 2002 (Polo IV Type 9N). It looks fairly good from the outside and performs well without any problems so far because the components are all really good, but it isn't the best car/Pc of them all. It simply get's the jopb done without any major problems or workarounds ^^
