Dad's: Audi A4 1.8T
Honda RidgeLine- it's spiffy.
Mom's: Honda CRV
Mine: VW Bug

IMO, the wheels look too small for the ridgeline.

I'd agree, the CRV wheels look too small as well, but at the time of the CRV purchase, thats the biggest size they came with (15inch) and the RidgeLine's tires its the same deal, those are the biggest (17inch) and also look small.

Yeah it kinda ruins the whole SUV look to have civic-spec wheels. ;)

neut:

much like the chevy truck with similar body style
Hmmm, I think Honda won on the "looks less stupid" competition by a safe margin, mainly by avoidance of plastic. Worst of all is Chevy's plastic roll-bar-ish things. Amazingly stupid looking, and entirely non-functional. The Honda might even reach "normal looking" with a nice fitted fiberglass topper.

:eek: Serious?! I'm pretty sure that's the Best Car in the World! :D Is there a comfier/quicker way to 100km/h?
Yes I'm serious, but I dont really think much of it, neither does he, sure it goes hard, but it definatly wasnt worth the $80,000. His buisness partner gave it to him for the meantime (as he just bought a Porsche 911), and he's going to get something else, it looks like he's leaning toward a Volvo 4WD.

That's a bit disappointing. As I posted before, I'm running round in kinda the standard Holden equivalent and loving it. It's great bang for bucks quality. Ahh well, it makes me feel less bad next time I don't upgrade to a faster HSV V8 then...

To all the Aussies out there, I GOT A TERRITORY, it is better than even the Best Fairlane. I have posted pics way back on page 2. I guess I had better show the Wife's car.

Sadly though, chevy still has somehow managed to sell a crapload of them, even the firest revisions that had all that plastic cladding on the bottem.

Question is, are these batteries safe for the environment? How would nano-materials react with the water, soil and air?

My last pair of sunglasses, I left on the top of my bugatti and drove off. It was only $30 but I was still pissed. If I lose a $300 pair, I'd be in a murderous rage.

I drive a 1997 Toyota 4Runner. Back in the day, my friends and I used to load up our bikes and go mountain biking. Now we're all too busy I guess... :(

One time, being a big Van Halen fan, I striped it like Eddie Van Halen's guitars using white tape (and lots of wax underneath so it came off easily). Kinda stupid but fun so who cares... :p

Before this one I had an identical 1996 Toyota 4Runner. That one only lasted nine months before being smashed to smithereens by a drunk driver (we all walked away just fine).

My wife drives a 2002 Nissan Altima.

We put up some pictures soon after getting it so family could see. I guess it showed up pretty high in Google's image search for awhile, so pretty soon I started noticing a bunch of hits on this image from external websites. Mostly just car-based forums where people were posting about what cars they wanted.

I decided to have a little fun. :D

I added some url rewriting rules so that depending on where the hit came from, it would get an alternate image and show up in that forum post as something else. A few images I used were:

http://www.losercars.com/images/loser13.jpg
http://www.mikeandbev.org/altima/altima-p1.jpg
(the last one I took myself)

Heh heh heh... ;)

Whoever was posting that he had a Veyron is *ahem* full of it. They're not in production, and as it stands, it probably won't go into production, as they can't meet the initial goals that they set (like, stated horsepower, top speed, etc.).

Anyhoo. Here's mine, taken from my most recent track day.
