I should record the noise mine makes now if I try that. :lol: NO ONE WANTS MY TOP DOWN BELIEVE ME, YOU SHOULD ALL BE THANKFUL. It is a shame though, I had no issue with it being manual, DAMN YOU VW making it noisey so now I cannot use it!
You would be excited about a toyota wouldn't you
I'm sincerely excited about the new Yaris...The old one was a current Toyota that I actually kinda liked, especially in hatch form, this new one looks very sharp indeed. Now if only the interior is up to snuff, as the new one will start a bit more than the competition, it has no excuse not to be: http://news.consumerreports.org/car...is.html?EXTKEY=I91CONL&CMP=OTC-ConsumeristRSS
Plus, don't you turn into a lobster/burn victim under direct sunlight?
And now, a conversation with my father, under the hood of his car:
<Dad> Wait, what the hell is this fluid reservoir for?
<Me> That would be brake fluid. And it shouldn't be black.
<Dad> What, did someone put the wrong stuff in?
<Me> No, it's probably just 10 years old.
<Dad> There's nothing wrong with that.
<Me> Actually, there is. It absorbs water out of the air and stops being effective. I don't know where the black crap comes from, but that's not good either.
<Dad> Now you're talking like the guy at the tire shop
<Me> No, really. It's a hygroscopic liquid, which means it absorbs water out of the air. You're supposed to replace it every 2 years or so.
So now I have a set of speed-bleeders on order for his car. He's not normally this stupid, I swear.
Their loss; they don't get to hear the requests of schoolkids on buses asking me to do a burnout. Which, unfortunately, I can't do; damn you mid-engine traction!

New Rule. If rickhamilton620 likes a car, don't buy it. Henceforth, this will be the official Final Gear litmus test to determine if any car is shit or worth having.
So I just, nearly, ran a dog over. No leash, the owner called it from the other side of the road. Luckily I managed to stop the boat of a car I was driving (current gen Ford Mondeo, which at least by European standards is a pretty big thing) about a meter away. Dog owners- KEEP IT ON A LEASH D:

Mondeo is more mid size saloon, not large really. More average than anything else... which, being a Mondeo, isn't surprising.Even by Euro standards the Mondeo isn't a boat. I don't understand why you are having so many problems with its size.

I suppose it is a large car compared to a Polo though!

So, rickhamilton620, how do you like the Nissan March?
Wow the Camaro convertible weighs 4,116lbs.
