it's a monthly subscription
it comes with photoshop to and it's like 20$ a month i think

What's a vehicle with good mileage and AWD/4x4 to replace my 2010 Impreza if I'm going to commute 45 minutes every day

30-40k CAD if new

@coral linden Well, I have a used 2004 hyundai Santa Fe GLS, it get's decent mileage, is all wheel drive, and pretty spunky. Not the most ideal replacement, but plenty of room for fam if you can find one

its a very good car... it won suv of the year in 2017

Its not gt
Their old car broke and they needed a quick solution so they had to compromise a bit. It's automatic instead of manual like they would've wanted. It's the Allure version or whatever

automatic is much better then manual on these
but it has gt line extras from what i see.. if its the one in the picture at least

@unkempt hill M cars always come at a premium. Not to mention the extra insurance, etc that you have to pay with it.
visual escarp
I would say the best part is not owning one, SUV's are mostly impractical pieces
flint creek
It all depends on what you are using it for
Since we basically live in the middle of the woods, thta car was a pretty good choice.
Because of all the dirt roads and roads that have holes in them since no one is there to take care of them
meager grove
I liked the X5 but for all the wrong reasons
visual escarp
getting better ground clearance without having to pay full on premium to getting an offroader is one of the very few things
flint creek
Really bummed out (or how ever that saying goes) about the car being automatic, since Manual would be more ecological or something but hey. Otherwise it would've been an order from the factory that would've taken 4 months and we don't have a car at the moment.
visual escarp
depending on where and when you drive automatics can be a godsend, the last 2 km of my trip is constant accelerating and braking and just inbetween the 1st and 2nd gear point
where 1st is still doable, but just gets loud and whiny and stuff
flint creek
Yeah sometimes it sucks to be driving manual (like sitting at a traffic light in the city stopped in a hill) But it has it advantages as well. My dad will probably liek to have an automatic since his AMbulances are automatic as well and now there isn't hat change between automatic and manual every day.
unkempt hill
@civic spoke yeah I realise that :P just wondering how much - 335i is 10k here in Australia vs 40k for e92 m3 here
flint creek
Oh and that reminds me. Ever seen an Amarok Ambulance? Those things look cool as heck
visual escarp
now I have
visual escarp
they are made to get to the places a normal one cannot, but I would say is looks kinda stupid with such a big box on the back
civic spoke
@unkempt hill An E92 M3 can be had for around 250,000~300,000 SEK over here.
flint creek
IT sort of does but the yare real cool fro mthe inside. And I have actually visited the factory in Finland that custom makes those big boxes to fit in the back. The process of making an ambulance out of one of those is just astonishing
flint creek
Shekels
unkempt hill
For a m3 that's a very similar price, 335i is a bit cheaper here. Not too bad tho ๐
civic spoke
The E46 is still much better value IMO.
As you can find a nice one for under 50,000 SEK

Though when it breaks down, it costs more to repair it then the price you bought it at

Ye, doing a good thing
There have been attempts
But no one can match the magicalness of Elon Musk

The Tesla Roadster V2 is only ablel to do 0-60 in 1.9 seconds because that is what they have said.
There are no production vehicles done for that car yet.
So they literally can not test their claims.
tribal pulsar
i believe they have tested it with production-spec models and have achieved 0-60 in 1.9 with the stock tires
If i'm wrong, please tell me so

There are no productioni specs of the car. As it has yet to reach any kind of stage in the production.

@meager grove wdym the model 3 is impractical?

@meager grove I had some bad experiences with VW, but I can't find another car that's more comfortable....
coral linden
Is it good at night and can it read plates? Up to $100 cad is the budget.
meager grove
@vital glen look at the dashboard
It's so impractical that you have to look to your right to get any information
@fiery zenith they are the most comfortable to drive for the price yeah
vital glen
@meager grove well not really, having test driven one, you don't really take your eyes off the road. It's in your periphery, it does not take that long to get used too
Plates yes, night vision it's ok @coral linden
meager grove
Idk I don't like it one bit
Call me old fashioned but I prefer at least a few buttons
or HUD
coral linden
Found center stack weird in the mini, not sure I'd like turning my head all the time
meager grove
Does the model 3 have a heads up display?
graceful cape
No it doesn't.
meager grove
Yeah no thanks then
Seats also look very uncomfortable
If they're anything like the model S, I'll pass on it
graceful cape
Not a fan of the S?
graceful cape
Well, you pay for the technology and power I guess.
meager grove
Yeah for the power
I drove a p90d for a few days
The power is absolutely mindboggling
But the ergonomics made me not like it
graceful cape
Yeah, but there is no fun...
meager grove
Screen looks fancy but is quite a pain to use for adjusting simple things
Might be because I only drove it for a few days
But man getting back the 5 series was quite the relief
graceful cape
I agree.
That is something I really don't like about modern cars.
So many simple things like adjusting the heated seats or changing the AC is all hidden in menus instead of having a simple dial.
BMW 5? Ehh... I'm sorry to hear you have one.
graceful cape
The only other car you owned was probably a Trabant then.
meager grove
Nope
graceful cape
Tho a Trabant is more reliable.

Test drove the E class, and A6
E class was really nice but the screens arent that good
BMW isn't too bad

Here in Germany a lot of BMW drivers went to drive Audi now.
meager grove
Current A6 has been around since like 2012
It looks great but damn is the interior outdated

My dad had a BMW 7 series and a Audi A8. The A8 was miles ahead, even tho it was older.

Mhmm idk
I've not had many problems with mine

Well I'd get a Audi A4 if I get one of the new ones.
It's the only one that comes close to the original Quattro with its short wheel base and its proportions.
graceful cape
It's definitly not as comfortable as Mercedes

Hopefully the new parking lot will have charging stations

My mum owns a C-Class. Horrible to drive in windy conditions, incredibly light rear and slow gearbox..

Considering the new A class also
Interior looks really good
Exterior..... Well I like the front but the back looks kinda chinese
graceful cape
I've driven so many new cars and none of them were really interesting to me.
The current mercedes front looks nice.
But I gotta agree on the rear of the A class - just ugly I think.
But mercedes always had problems at making their cars look good from behind.
graceful cape
Well, their current styling isn't that great either I think.
Audi is not where it should be imo.
meager grove
I like the A6's looks
But yeah I agree especially the SUVs are disappointing
Q7 is an absolute minger
graceful cape
I don't understand how you can end up making boring autobahn cruisers like this:
when you were building fun and just beautiful racers like this before:
And yeah, the Q line is horrible.
graceful cape
The original Quattro screams fun and reliability.

I also remember my dad's 635CSi to be a beauty

The new ones are made for old people that gotta get to their boring meetings in time...

635csi is beatiful.
meager grove
Yeah... Drives an XC90 now
Nice but no where close to the 635
I mean... IF you're gonna drive an SUV...
graceful cape
The XC90 is nice tho.
My dad used to own a BMW E38 750i? 740i? I don't know anymore. Some 7 series BMW in black out of that era.
Then he got a Grand Charokee I think.
graceful cape
I can't quite remember what he drove after the 7 series.
I know he had a station wagon 5 series after a while, then a V10 Touareg.
Yeah all of those old cars look so beatiful.
meager grove
If only I could have the exterior of the old and the tech and interior of the new
graceful cape
Not that hard. Throw a smartphone and a new radio in one and done.
You're now on the technological level of a 2025 Mercedes S Class, because the car industry is incredibly slow.
meager grove
Idk dude, I didn't think I'd have a key with a screen on it
graceful cape
I drive a 1997 Audi Cabriolet.
I know someone that modded the original Radio so it has bluetooth. Then I put a magnetic smartphone holder thingy in there and done.

It's great that he has a ton of money and he is usually a nice guy, but he has this awkward manner sometimes.
meager grove
Ahh right yeah I think I know what you mean
It might just be a coincidence but well-off people are like that quite often
In my experience at least
graceful cape
Yup...
He has more interesting cars. Like a Porsche 911 964 for example.
meager grove
Sweet
graceful cape
I've never been sitting so close to the asphalt in a car :P
graceful cape
And he also has a weird Citroen family minivan kinda thing, which I think is a hybrid iirc.

Hybrid Citroen... Never seen that before
graceful cape
Oh nice a Speedster? o_O
I don't know which model it is. I see if I can find it.
Super awkward to sit in.

Found it.
It's the C4 Grand Picasso I think.

And I'm not 100% sure that its this model in the picture.
But it comes close.
meager grove
Nice
This is one of the better looking MPV's
Thats like saying what the best looking turd is but oh well

basically you're right
Yeah it's the C4 Grand whatever.
The interior looks exactly like that
It feels so weird sitting in it as a large person and the seats are so uncomfortable.
meager grove
That steering wheel.. so tiny!
coral linden
shes gigantic
graceful cape
She just looks gigantic because the car is so weird.
coral linden
the rear view mirror is half way down
graceful cape
It's because it's a panorama window
It's much larger than it looks like
And then you sit really far back
coral linden
sounds cheap to replace

I think the window costs more than the rest of the car actually :P

The friend who has a Speedster also has a model x
He had a shattered front window
You don't even wanna know....

5 wheel steering?

the one in your hand counts.

No I mean the 3000 GT had 4 wheel steering? o.o
coral linden
yes

Didn't know that!
I thought only the Skylines had that at the time!
One more reason to get a 3000 GT
coral linden
i wanted a stealth for a time, until I figured out they were as bad as the eclipse
graceful cape
Isn't the stealth just a 3000GT or something?
Or a eclipse?
I heard something about that
coral linden
dodge stealth/3000gt and eclipse/eagle talon
graceful cape
Ah okay.
coral linden
they were much less common here, mainly because you needed to own two of them
graceful cape
Hm...
I'm still looking for the optimal 90s japanese sports car.
coral linden

graceful cape
Meeeeeeh.
It's not that exotic.
First I wanted to get a R32, but then I wasn't so sure because of the right hand drive.
Then I thought maybe a 3000GT.
And then I was thinking about even an S2000, but I'm to tall for that.
RX7 is too expensive.

You know how 'muricans talk about engines ? - like for example: "it has a 350 chevy"
With the Leopard 2 they would say "it has a 2900 MTU" :P

@coral linden You are a trucker?

Do you like priuses
coral linden
Any car that doesn't accelerate to highway speed needs to be crushed
coral linden
It's incredibly annoying when you have range sensors and will get shit from your company for following too close
Well I'm trying to accelerate and this dicknut is going under the limit and I'm closing on them. Bam critical fault
vital glen
Bam somebody is dead
coral linden
I got one when someone kept speeding up and slowing down in front of me
And a hard braking when a guy pulled out in front of me from a stop when I was doing 40mph
vital glen
Lol
coral linden
Its a very dangerous job and not worth the money imo
vital glen
Wanna hear a funny trucker story my dad told me
coral linden
Ok
vital glen
He owned a fleet himself and he got the story from one of his drivers
So one of the drivers was pulling up to the weigh station
And the truck was over the limit, so the driver called another driver, let's call him Frank, Frank came over and took some weight off and left
the cop who was over there was still hoilding the oringinal truck driver, let's call him Tom,
The cop forced tom to stay in his cabin and not to come out or else he would be tazed and arrested for resiting arrest
Tom stood in his cbin for 18 hrs before the cop let him out
and the cop gave him the time slip
and a ticket of something to the tune of a couple grand for being overweight
So tom called my dad and told him what happened
coral linden
it's like $1/lbs lol gets expensive
vital glen
yeah it does
My dad flew down to ohio the same day and fought it in court
and won
and the cop was on adminstrative leave
for a while
vital glen
lol
coral linden
first time I picked up batteries from LG they loaded them like a bunch of morons, instead of putting it even across they loaded it high on the ends and low in the middle and I didn't realize it
vital glen
lol
coral linden

I can't see through the high back you morons
coral linden

vital glen
I hate semis going through 1 way roads
coral linden
the crossdock I worked out of pissed me off a bunch of times. they would break the bins and load them and the whole stack would fall over
vital glen
lol
coral linden
I'd hit the brakes and hear BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM
worst was when they left gaps between them, brake and feels like someone rear ended you
vital glen
lol
coral linden
gave them major shit for that, never happened again
vital glen
I had a prostitute rear-end me before at 65mph
coral linden

Hey y'all I had this physics exam today and there was some question about cars crashing into each other and the question was about how fast the cars were going.
Long story short, is there a Porsche that can reach up to 22843 km/h
Because that might've been my answer
vital glen
Was it asking what was the speed of the car before it crashed? @flint creek
coral linden
was it giving the impact speed between the two cars?
vital glen
@flint creek it sounds you crashed that exam

Suggestions for a sub-$2500 USD used car?
Coupe, Sedan, Convertable, or Crossover
Good handling
Cloth seats
Air Conditioning
Relatively easy to find and cheap parts
Fair amount of room to work under the hood (As long as it's more room than my 300M has, I'm happy)```SE Michigan is as specific as I'll get
Found a decent '07 G6 for around $2k
Not a convertable tho
3.5L V6 Sedan
