Yay! New car for me!

[Colonel Mustard]

I just got a 2001 Black Ford Taurus SES. 13,000 miles. plus a bunch of other nice stuff, spoiler/moon roof/6 disc CD/Alloy rims. For $10500. This will be a much accepted change from my 1983 (something around there) Plymouth Voyager that was in a nasty baseball size hail storm. Perhaps if HomerEBW Comes over this weekend I can get him to take some pics.

What street does he live on?

[Colonel Mustard]

why? And how do I make my image work? I'm Stupid.

When you reply, just click the IMG button and type in the link to the picture. That should do it.

OMFG NICE MAN!

Sucks to be me thought...why.

My car is stuck at the Scrub-a-Dub on S 27th street. I went to get an Oil Change, and when I tried to leave, it crapped out. My window is 1/4 of the way down, but there's nothing of value really, just my CD Player some CD's, and $3.00 in the glove compartment. I just have a strong feeling someone is either going to take something, or I will see a big dent in it.

Maybe this Sunday, I'll come by and take some pictures.

EDIT: To get your sig picture up. Go to 'control panel' on the top of the page, then go to 'edit profile' and scroll down to paste your image in the 'Signature' text box.

My Dad and I are set on buying this:

http://www.audiusa.com/common/images/gallery3_ttcoupe_lg.jpg

2003 Audi TT Coupe. We test drove it today, and my God, that thing is so much fun to drive. The 225 HP can go 0-60 in around 6.7 seconds, but we'll probably just get the 180 HP version. For 35,000 and the four year warranty (Audi pays for everything except for gas), it's a deal.

Drool!

[SadbutTrue]

ew 180 hp = teh slow :P

but it can turn well and stuff, i suppose

[Jackle]

congrats on the new car man
If I was buying a new car at the moment I'd probably look into the WRX;)

[newman]

WRX is a good car, but there is one problem which can make it less appealing. Take for instance you get the car and want to run it on the quarter mile. On your first run you run a mid 14 sec run. Now you wan to tune something on it. So you have to unplug the battery and work on it. The next run it's highly likely you may run 3-5 tenths slower because of the ECU in the WRX. It makes the car vary on hp 20-30 hp at anytime. Just some information on the WRX.

the audi tt is my fav car gl cerb

I just got back from the Internation Car Show and that car is an absolute piece of junk. I looked at it for 2 mins, then some kid comes up and kicks it. POW! Dent in the door. The guy working for Audi was like "Uhhh, the real version has dent resistant sides." What a fucking joke...

[CerberusWG]

Good to see the hicks down in Georgia base a car on how dent resistant it is. Who in their right mind kicks a fucking car anyways?

[ethEreal]

Who in their right mind would buy such a piece of shit? The A4 is sooo much better; the M3 is absolutely amazing; Infiniti's G35 coupe is also badass. Of all cars you can pick...the TT is a massive piece of shit.

[AbhiHojo.mT]

i would have to agree...TT sucks ass. people just assume it handles well becuase its awd (some versions anyway) it handles like crap, body roll sucks, doesnt feel fast, and the brakes arent that good. i admit its a good looking car but i definately wouldnt recommend it.

Considering if you live in the city, ppl bang into your car all the time in parking lots. Also, if you live in the country (like me), more than 2/3 of the driveways are gravel. Rocks dent ya know...

And I would kick a car if I didn't like it...apparently, that kid didn't like it. I laughed.

lol :D naa you'll be ok.... or will you :o

Accually, after my sister picked me up from Scrub-A-Dub. I went back home, waited 3hrs and my mom drove me back to Scrub-A-Dub. It started back up. The next day (today) I went to pick up my friends we were on our way to our buddies (Colonel Mustard) place to take pictures of his new car, and stuff. My car died on Oakwood Rd. So we walked 7 blocks to Mikes house to make a phone call, and let my car cool down. We took Mikes car to my car sitting on the side of the road, again it started up. I drove it to my house, acually going the speed limit :eek: and parked it im my garage. I don't know how to get to work on Monday, maybe I'll call in sick, or something :(

[SadbutTrue]

It tops out around 140 MPH. Not slow.

yes, it is slow... it would take years to get that thing to 140

my 37 year old car with a 34 year old engine did 0-60 in 6.4 at the track, and that was with a person in the car and the transmission coming out from under it. The only reason my car can't hit 140 is because it only has 3 speeds. Top speed is not impressive. Most 5 speed cars can hit 140 if they have over 200 hp.

0-60 is an impressive statistic, and for a modern car that supposedly appeals to the performance crowd, 0-60 in 6.7 is not impressive. Neither is 180 hp.

The A4 is sooo much better; the M3 is absolutely amazing; Infiniti's G35 coupe is also badass

Or you could get an '03 Cobra or a Corvette and mop all those cars off the road. But I have a penchant for detriot iron (or plastic, in this case :/ )

[Colonel Mustard]

here are a few pics, I'll get some better ones when I wash it.

EBW if these eat up to much bandwidth just remove from your server.

get a 350z ...

[CerberusWG]

My Dad and I checked out the 350z as well, we weren't too impressed with it.

I like the upcoming Mazda Rx8.
