Oh, what a pity, the MB A Class 200 Turbo is an awesome car, its looks is mild, but damn, how fast it is !

2000 Volvo S40 somewhere around 85K miles or so.

My wife and I share a forest green 1997 GMC Sonoma 4-cyl (137k miles) and a 2002 gold Ford Focus Wagon (33k miles). In 2-3 years the truck will be retired to weekend Lowes, estate (er junk) sale duty, and we'll be getting a Mazda5, Mazda6 wagon, or Element.

My SVX is in a heated storage facility with a bunch of classic cars, including the pacecar from the 1970 indy 500, the 2001 indy 500, and a few prototype oldsmobiles.

It's the only foreign made car in there, so I'm sure the other cars make fun of it's goofy windows at night. I haven't driven it since early last august... so... that sucks. I just walk most places, or take the bus. I also occasinally drive my wife's 89 honda accord 5spd, which now has 234,000 miles. Great little engine.

Thanks. I won't be here long. How are you doing Kilbey? Hope everything is well on your end, and again I apologize for photoshopping your daughter.

Thanks for the apology. It means a lot to me.

Every thing's good. I no longer work for GM. That will probably make your day.

I bought this car in 1999 and drive it only during the summer (I won"t show you what I drive in Winter

). Still a lot of fun

Nope, just dumbasses. You use a lot of gas and oil for **** handling, acceleration, braking, and poor safety. If you feel like arguing with me, email me. I'll win. Because my pride doesn't get in the way of factual information.

PS: I bet your wife does a lot of offroading too. And you guys probably never drive alone in those things either right? And did you know those things came with turn signals? ****tards.

sek929 · Apr 29, 2006, 02:21 PM

I can do offroading, haul 1200 lbs of cargo in the bed, and get 21 MPG.

Go Sonoma

Plus I actually need a truck to live.

Fast in an SUV = stupid and most likely dead thanks to the horrid handling.

Bad picture. Right side of the car is up on the grass raising that side about 3 inches.

With all that said and done, the stock Peugeot 206cc could be dropped 1-2 inches to better fill the wheel wells.

oh, I think the XC90 is a good looking car -even being a SUV- it is just that I find kinda bad taste to add such aero package… 'too fast too furious' for me…

Speaking of idiots, I still can't get him to understand that not SUV's are gas hogs. Some SUV's only have V-6's, and some cars have 6.1L V-8's in them. Which is worse?

I understand. Well this is what our car looks like and I love it. The step bars on the side make the stance look that much better.

Is it the all wheel drive on your 330 that is the reason for that?

UnixMac · Apr 30, 2006, 10:56 AM

I drive the one on the right, and my wife and kids go in the one on the right!

Someone needs to switch to decaf. Hit a nerve there, sparky? Or did someone run run over your pet cat with a truck?

UnixMac · Apr 30, 2006, 12:53 PM

The Legend makes some points about SUV's, and don't misunderstand I agree with some of them, but he's tone is a bit off..

I for one live in AZ, where every other car is a Ford F350 Superduty or GMC 3500 truck, and many SUV's are not content to be stock .. but rather have the lift kits, and monster tires.. How these people pay for their gas, I'll never understand.. but to each their own I guess.. until one of those SUV's with a 5' tall mom yapping on her cellphone and yelling at her kids almost runs me off the road! :wall:

UnixMac · Apr 30, 2006, 12:57 PM

BTW... this is not quite typical, but you get the idea... AZ is filled with this type of thing! So much for cheap gas prices anytime soon!

But I understand, such E Class has to be a dream to drive.

You both have great taste.

the part that you can't see is that it's a CDI... Diesel..

close to 400 lb/ft or torque, and 231hp out of a straight six 3.2l and I get 40mpg on the highway at 65mph, and 0-60 in under 7 seconds.. Plus "Worlds safes car" assurance.

IT's worth every $ I paid, and more..

Sure, much better than the red one. I really like the XC90, easily one of the best looking Volvo nowadays.

BTW, is that an Ocean Race Edition?

hehe, yes, I saw it in your galleries.

And such fact -being a Diesel- gives it a great Benz soul, (history fact).

Now certain people is going to start to say how I dislike Diesel engines, but again, yours is a MB, it is top-notch everything. Is just that I would get a petrol engine instead. Personal taste, but if you like Diesel, you couldn't have had a better choice.

Sure it is worth every penny… there is no car like a MB.

Fracking hell.

Glad I don't live in AZ I guess.

This isn't a pic of mine, but it's just like the 1998 Camry LE I bought Friday. First car.

Dealer's cleaning it and I'll pick it up next week.
