so basically they are liars and cheaters . oh well it gave you a little work

 

my old man has a civic now because it was the cheapest with no money down to lease (dont get me started on leasing) and I honestly dont see why there great, the fiesta I looked at with him was 3 times more comfortable and more fun to drive (as much fun as an econo box can be) even the newer accords were lacking compared to his 2008 fusion.

 

svt focus ftw! or the new STs coming out. did you guys see the commercial that it shows they have automatic grill shutter things to make it more aerodynamic at higher speeds. weird but kinda sweet.

 

For the price, there are a lot better used cars out there.

We bought a fully loaded 01' Passat GLX 4Motion sixxer last month for $4300 and we needed to put a little money into it and are doing the timing kit on it just to be safe even though its low miles. After the timing is done and a few other things like new Conti DWS's we will have about $5500 into it, still way below book.

The Fiesta was an option for us too but the Passat just destroys it. The AWD is awesome. :}

Hey an W8 6spds (AWD standard) are in the $8,000 dollar range, so WAY more fun than the Fiesta and cheaper and nicer!
Or you can get a BiTurbo Audi. :}~

There is a very nice supercharger for the V6 passat thats only $3k new. Its a MP60 (Non-Intercooled) and brings power from 193hp to 295hp at 7psi.
Used they are about $2k but its better just to get it new because you have to pay $500 for an ECU flash and if you have TipTronic (Like us) you pay an extra $500 for the sport flash on that.

After driving around for a few thousand miles.


We wanted MAORRRr!!!11 Snow to have fun in, but it didnt happen.


Interior shots, we found some black leather seats and a console that we are going to put in there. Also the leather trim on the door is going to be swapped out with black. Going for a nice two tone look.

 

btw, I used a 3M headlight restoration kit on the headlights.
They were so hazed that you could not tell they were a factory projector.

I made a vid, as soon as I get a new comp to edit the vids I will post it up with DriverMod XL.

I bought Sony Vegas Pro 10.0 so I could edit video ($600 dollar program) and my comp is so slow it cant smoothly play the clips.

So now I am looking at a Custom AMD 1100T 6core built or a custom Core i7 950.

The Core i7 is about $75 more than the 1100T build but its also faster, and with only 4cores and the same clock speed. :/

 

Well, they may have been straight -ish. Turns out it will air this week (Thurs night on FOX). It's a BONES show, but it is the spin off/pilot/set up show for the new series "The Finder". Everyone better watch it!!

 

Im not watching it. Last show I watched religiously was Junkyard Wars.

I didnt know what jersey shore really was until a few months ago, if that gives any indication on how much I watch tv.

 

I have a 2003 v-6 mustang convertible. Today was the 3rd time in about 4 months that I was sitting at a light and the engine started to accelerate! It was like I had my foot on the brake and accelerator at the same time! The engine went back down to idle after a few seconds, but only after moving forward a few feet even though my foot was on the brake! Has anyone else ever had this issue???

 

Ya know I think I got lost...
I thought we were talking about someone getting a grocery getter! lol

Looks like you had a lot of fun Matt.
How come they changed which show it was going to?

 

Neo, I'm partial to AMD myself, never had any problems with any of mine, what what is the clock speed of the I7? I'm too lazy to look it up lol
