Reminds me of another accident from the same country. I think it was.

Oh, it was Belgium, the one I thought of.

stoic ledge

Couple of weeks ago there was a similar crash in Belgium

We actually knew the guy

I'm thinking of something a few years ago

stoic ledge

He died GWmythiFeelsBadMan

This one was 2 weeks ago

Also crashed into a truck with his Peugeot 508

He didn't make it

@stoic ledge Well with autopilot, people start getting lazy and over confident ๐Ÿ˜…

#

I mean, some people even take a nap and such

civic spoke
#

I hate that it's called Autopilot.

wheat hatch
#

Autonomous mode?

#

Don't know what else to call it

civic spoke
#

It's fancy cruise control.

wheat hatch
#

Fair enough.
But yeah, autonomous mode make people lazy (and for some reason they expect it to be flawless).

civic spoke
#

And shouldn't be used anywhere you shouldn't use normal cruise control.

wheat hatch
civic spoke
#

People who use it through construction zones and such are just stupid.

wheat hatch
#

Ye

stoic ledge

I also hate the Autopilot name, and people calling it "Autonomous Driving". It's basically just a lane keeping assist + adaptive cruise control

So. My Father is basically obsessed with Opel/Vauxhall (for the british fellas) and has bought himself a new car. Even though he knows how GM sucks Ass. Nothing special to be honest, just to wanted to share.

"New car" + Omega GWsoraeThenkung

They aren't bad tho, too bad they tend to rust a lot

Omega is a Cadillac Catera fot the Americans ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

indigo coral
#

literally never heard of that lol

#

i kinda dont think we had that over here

#

ive never ever seen one

stoic ledge
#

The Cadillac Catera is a four-door, five passenger luxury sedan manufactured from 1996 to 2001 in Rรผsselsheim, Germany, by Opel, and marketed in the United States by Cadillac as a rebadged variant of the Opel Omega Bโ€”with approximately 95,000 in total sales over five model...

indigo coral
#

wtf

stoic ledge
#

Cadillac Catera is the US version of the Omega

indigo coral
#

ive seen Devilles and stuff from that those years but never a Catera

stoic ledge
#

Deville is a Caddy, Cetera is just a rebadged Opel

indigo coral
#

infact some asshole in a deville totalled our ford five hundred

stoic ledge
#

Literally built in Germany, exported to the US

crimson wraith
#

MK is correct. Although the Catera is a bit more beefed up version of the Omega and about the rust, my dads one has only this โ€šoptic rustโ€˜ otherwise its fine. Well. Shock absorbers are done... but otherwise a quite nice.

#

Car* some words should be named.

stoic ledge
#

Well the Cadillac had the same engine as the Omega 3.0 V6 (X30XE)

#

Iirc the last RWD Opel (besides the Opel GT/Saturn Sky/Pontiac Solstice)

crimson wraith
#

I meant interior wise and i love those alloys on the Catera!

stoic ledge
#

Ah it's a Omega/Chevrolet mix on the inside xD

crimson wraith
#

One thing that bothers me about the interiour is this GIANT scoop over the speedo and so on. What did they plan to put there?! A fighter jet? xD

stoic ledge
#

You mean the width?

#

Well in EU spec there is the MID

#

Speedo + radio/nav/temp/ on board PC/...

#

Or CID depending on the trim/options

crimson wraith
#

I know just. The size bothers me, from the Calibra we know that it can be smaller and fit a whole cockpit of buttons!

stoic ledge
#

Lol yes but the Calibra is based of the Vectra

crimson wraith
#

But it is simple! If I sit in the Omega upright i feel like i sit in my uncles Jimny, it doesnโ€™t feel like its a Limousine! I know its a problem of taste but just. A middle way! Between the one and the other!

stoic ledge
#

I actuallt quite like the Omega interior

#

Especially the B facelift

#

But the speedometer with non-digital odometer just looks old-fashioned xD

indigo coral
#

oof

crimson wraith
#

Thats like the GM move xD โ€žlets take dis and put it in dis. No one will notice!โ€œ Well yeah... until you got the corsa shiftstick in your expensive Omega.

#

But! Replacement Parts are dirt cheap because of that.

stoic ledge
#

Lol did it?

#

Wouldn't be surprised

crimson wraith
#

They did. Just like the Middle console vents are on the Corsa, the Calibra and the Omega. As well as Radios with cassettes or cd Players. All the same.

stoic ledge
#

Yeah radio center screen etc i knew

#

Light switches too

crimson wraith
#

Switches and knobs in general.

stoic ledge
#

Lol I recognize the xwnter vents now too

#

Wow

#

Yeah switchgear same

#

Climate controls is the same as in the Vectra, they only added another temperature selector for the 2 zone Climate control

crimson wraith
#

And what the Designers are always doing is the weird placement for doorlifters which are NOT the same on the different models!,

#

You see? The GM move, dirt cheap producing.

stoic ledge

Still, love my Corsa GWcmeisterPeepoLove

Corsa is the sweet little Egg ride. You hate it or love it. I personally love it too. captai87Love

Im with the idea of driving a car till it dies. I don't like losing money.

shadow osprey
#

Well technically you'd lose money if you had to put a tank of gas in it or fix it, so you should just buy a car, drive it until the tank is empty, then sell it

#

Just cause you sell a car doesn't mean you're losing money. If the car is bought and sold at fair market value, then you're likely making a good choice

#

If you drive a car into the ground, you only get $300 worth of scrap

This might have changed in the 6 months or so I haven't been on the forums, but there is a Honda tech who frequents the car thread on the forum and he's said it has multiple issues due to the fact that it was a relatively rushed car and a large portion of parts/electronics are still undocumented within Honda's service system.

whats the gas guzzler tax on a hellcat, like 2k?

The tax rate is based on combined highway and city mileage per gallon. The rate can range from $1,000 for vehicles that get at least 21.5 mpg but less than 22.5 mpg all the way up to $7,700 for vehicles that get less than 12.5 mpg.

except its not that simple

125k USD in ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ

how much is a base G65 amg?
