*rubs head* I think... I'm untypical for a male when it comes to cars...

As long as it drives, it's good. As long as I can carry stuff with it, it's good. Sure, A ferrari is fast, but eh... taxes for it around here would kill you, then there are speed limits and, most important for me, you can't transport anything with it.

:bonk:

That's it. If gas prices go any higher, I'm busting out my skateboard.

Don't get me wrong, but I think Americans have no right to complain about gas prices. You're not paying some 4-5 Euro for a gallon, are you?

4-5 Euro is not far from 6 USD though. And it has been like that for quite a while :P

OUCH!!! price for gas bein that high actually makes me considering getting a Hybrid, mayb even a CIVIC hybrid....n i really don't want either

lol, well... since the Euro is stronger than the Dollar... but well, I still envy the American gas price lol. It's still significantly lower than here.

Check this out, a few guys managed to attach a WRX STi engine to an ATV. Fucking insane.

u bet about the prices .. i think we had a conversation about it before out here itself. out here in europe prices really are hard to swallow ... US sure is great as compared to here to drive.

as for me ... a drive is to have fun and not just transport me ... for that the metro is actually much better considering the pain in the ass it is to park in paris :sweat:

Pretty sensational F1 race today in Imola, Italy.... Renault won their fourth straight F1 race, :sweat: but Michael Schumacher gave Fernando Alonso all he could handle the last 10 laps, the Ferrari losing by only 0.2 seconds...

The technology they apply to those cars is staggering: the Honda-powered cars are said to produce 955bhp.... From a 3.0-liter V10 engine... 3.0 liters!!!!

Awesome.

Well if you've got the bucks: the engine cost is around $1M.... :sweat:

That engine can make an F1 car go from 0-100mph in about 3.5 seconds... Whew.

was just watchin .. BMW has come up with this new technology by which each car while driving tests its driving conditions, road, rain, slid etc .. and best of all the car talks to all the other cars in its radius about these updates, so all cars are telling each other which area is safer to driver and which is not... thought it is really cool !!!

Sounds pretty cool... But all the other cars in the vicinity have to have the same technology, else it doesn't do any good... :sweat:

Hey, you guys in France must be pretty happy: Renault is dominating F1 so far... With Michelin tires, to boot. :applaud:
