AWESOME!! My dad and i are trying to decide on an old Mercedes to get and the E's are a good option, yours looks great with the body kit and rims. What engine is it?
Edit: Or is that a c class, i cant tell
Here is my car after washing it
2010 Kia Forte EX
I would post my car, but I have the exact same one.
Miss my 5spd Acura Integra coupe though.

haha post it anyways!
How do you like it?
I would miss the integra also unless you got the SX model.
The Ex is not too quick but its ok compared to other cars in the class
1999.5 Model year, $1500 CND, in a city where the average price for a MK4 VW is about $5000.
Playing with HDR.
Very interesting effect. I've seen lots of HDR that doesn't pop like this does. I like it.
My daily...
And my non daily...
I do have a car, its my daily driver. The truck is for when i feel like it. BTW, its not "lowered" (see vid).
Thanks!
I know its role. It still pulls, and hauls ****. It just happens to be really badass looking while doing it. (see vid)^^^ It takes balls to be a man, but definitely not to lower a truck.
I do disagree that a lowered truck "looks badass." I'd say the owner is confused as to its role in its world.
Absolutely nothing about this truck is designed to be fast. (see vid)

Sorry to trouble everyone but I have a question.. I think this thread is pictures of your own car but I have a two photos I'd like to post but these cars are not mine. So I seek permission in order to show these cars off. Yay or nay?
Thanks
Mike

Nice! Thanks! Tell me what you guys think. I had a huge photo hunting adventure last night.
VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOM!!!
I totally agree. The new Golf looks very sleek but the GTD/GTI nose is more aggressive looking and much less bland than the ordinary Golf. Its quite head-turner as well. The wheels on this particular model are great when they are clean. They have a brushed aluminium look to them so they really shine when the sun is out.
Love this car!
It is a C-Class - not that old though. The C-Class started its life in the mid 90s. A W115 or a W123 would be an old mercedes model that is not yet an oldtimer.
yoi
love those...

Sigh. So tired of this overly general attitude (not with you in particular). I don't know if you ever take cars to the track, but I do. My good buddy recently got an IS-F for his birthday (also has a Supra TT). We often switch cars and the thing is just as fun to drive as my M3. It's also probably one of the most exhilarating cars to throw into a corner, as it's got a lot of weight to it but is well balanced, so you can do some pretty crazy things while still in the realm of control. It's not as composed on the road as the E92 M3, but on the track it's almost as good, if not more fun. The M3 is more of a scalpel, while the IS-F is like a sledgehammer. His Supra is just ridiculous, but I'm sure you all already know that.
Anyways, BMW/Audi do make more exciting cars. I would know. I learned to drive in an E39 M5 (my dads) which was the best car I've ever driven. I still drive it some times but we've got it in storage now in lieu of the new one. Since then I've always had an M3 or M5 to take to the track.
So you could imagine the disappointment when I drove regular 3 and 5 series for the first time. Unless you're driving an M variant, they all feel the same. The 3 and 5 series are just as boring/exciting as Camry SE-V6's/GS's. A 335i and S4 aside, unless you're going to take your cars to the track, it's the driver that stipulates the fun in the car. Sure the bimmers can haul a bit more ass around a corner at the limit, but again, if you're ruling out an entire make of car due to the speed you can carry down a highway offramp for 11 seconds, go ahead. In the realm of everyday driving you're not going to notice it unless you drive so dangerously that you'd probably lose your license before you had any fun. If you can't have the same amount of fun in an ES/GS then you are the problem. If you ARE taking your car to your track, you don't get a non-M or non-Audi RS variant (if you must, skip over the E92 and get an E46 M3, or else you're not really in it for the fun). The M cars are made for fun, as the IS-F is. Even the difference between a 335i and IS350 is negligible (read any car magazine for information).
I've driven a 550i and GS back to back (at the Taste of Lexus event) and the GS struck me as much better overall vehicle (although it was a 350 not a 460, so I couldn't really compare the power). In terms of looks, if you compare a Corolla to a E9x 3 series, yes the bimmer is going to be better looking. However, throw that E92 up against an IS350 and it's not so simple. I drove an ES350 in highschool and I was told it looked really sharp all the time. This is way more subjective, and I personally know a lot of people that prefer the Lexus appearance to the BMW appearance (when similarly equipped of course!)
I don't know everyones position on cars, but I always notice people who say "OH LAWD TOYOTAS BE SO BORIN'!" really never do anything exciting with their cars anyways. They always conveniently forget Toyota makes off road vehicles which can be considered to be wwwwwaaaayyy less boring than any BMW (especially the SUV's). The X5 will get stuck on moist pavement, while the 4runner and FJ could probably take you through the Amazon if you wished. Well, not really, but they renowned for their off road abilities (Land Cruiser anyone?) People always forget Toyota makes extremley capable off road vehicles. Legendary capability, even. I do a lot of off roading as well, and I think it's just as fun as a track. You can't offroad in any BMW.
For what it's worth, my dad has an M5 and my mom has a GS. I actually prefer the interior of Lexus models as opposed to BMW's. BMW's seem too hard and cold. Not to mention the iDrive is balls to operate on the go. My sister actually had a 2009 X5 (was totalled by a drunk driver), and the interior seemed a bit dated (it was a nice vehicle, though), but I've never seen the interior of an RX in person so I can't really comment. So, to summarize, I am a BMW fanboy, and I'm sure their best cars (M variants) are a wee bit better than the F variants from Lexus (that may just be my fanboy talking), but people need to stop discounting Lexus as a fun brand. Sure, the reputation was deserved at one point, but not anymore. Just look at Hyundai and their old stigma with crappy cars (now they make some of the best) to see the example of such a shift.
I know, I know. Cool story bro
.Sanker, your post was a decent read.
For the record, the 2010 RX interior (Don't know if it has changed since we last went car shopping) was nice as you would expect when paying upwards of $40,000 for a vehicle. However, the third row IIRC was crammed or there wasn't one at all. Either way it was an inconvenience if you have a larger family or are one who likes to chauffeur people around.
Also, my friend has a 2006 X5. To be honest, it's just OK. I just can't see why anyone would buy a $30,000 used car for their 17 year old son. When you're spending that kind of cash on a car you might as well get a new one with a more modern interior.
