canucklax Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Would the acura rsx type s be a good car to start with? I'm not a fan of ricers, but it should be solid. Tons of replacement/upgrade parts available for acuras and hondas. Make sure you get someone experienced with cars to go with you when checking out a used car as many can have problems that aren't obvious to an untrained eye Link to comment
Mr. White Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Would the acura rsx type s be a good car to start with? Yeah man for sure. It's basically a Honda so it probably won't have tons of problems, solid car. It looks cool too, it is actually a car that I would consider getting Link to comment

Mountain Man Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Now for something completely different. The 1985 Yugo GV, From Time.com: Malcolm Bricklin, he of the Bricklin SV1, wouldn't be satisfied until he had forced every American to walk to work. To that end, in 1985, he began importing the Yugo GV, which turned out to be the Mona Lisa of bad cars. Built in Soviet-bloc Yugoslavia, the Yugo had the distinct feeling of something assembled at gunpoint. Interestingly, in a car where "carpet" was listed as a standard feature, the Yugo had a rear-window defroster — reportedly to keep your hands warm while you pushed it. The engines went ka-blooey, the electrical system — such as it was — would sizzle, and things would just fall off. Yugo. Or not. Read more: http://www.time.com/... #ixzz2AMAOQ5Dv Link to comment

Offensive Threat Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I And my Taurus is an 01' nothing sportsy about it. I had a 00 Taurus SE for 7 years. Thing was a tank. Never spent a single dollar other than regular maintenance. Put 175k Kms on it. Traded it in on a Fusion couple years ago. Was sad. But the Fusions nice. Yeah for dream car the Mercedes CL63 AMG is hard to beat. The CL65 is faster but a bit too overkill. And you can actually park it without idiots messing with it unlike most dream cars.

I've had it 1.5 years and have only had my timing belt replaced, great car. However, I'd like a more fuel efficient car.. Link to comment

Few years ago I used to hate old American cars like this but now that's just stunning, such a cool car now. How'd you keep it only at 148k. That's less than my 97 Mazda MX6 which I just passed 160k in. Link to comment

Hugemanskost Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I'm not sold on electric cars^ They're completely impractical. Technology is still off 10 years. I'm with you, Armada. Electric cars are a great idea and they will be beneficial to reducing greenhouse gas production. However, BC's electrical grid, and the grids of most other regions, are already taxed to the max. Where are we going to get the electricity for all of these battery operated cars? I live in Dawson Creek, BC. It is about an hour away from the W.A.C. Bennett Dam in Hudson's Hope, BC, the 17th largest dam in the world.This dam produces the majority of power for BC and holds back the water of BC's largest lake, Williston. How many more of these types of projects can our environment sustain? Our government is currently planning the Site C project further down the Peace River to help produce more electricity to make BC self-sufficient. Electric cars will certainly eat up a large chunk of this power. Are there other options to look at, too? Solar? Wind? Chipmunk? Discuss. Link to comment
Hugemanskost Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Crap! Forgot to add my car to the discussion. 2012 Toyota Matrix XRS. Couldn't be more happy with a vehicle. Fun to drive. Good on fuel. Decent sound system. What more do you need? Link to comment
