Re: Let's talk about cars

I gotta admit - not a truck person but the Ford Maverick catches my eye. Could be because my dad in England used to own a Maverick 4x4 in the 90's for a good while, and that was my favorite car he...

Re: Let's talk about cars

So, I ended up getting a premium Subaru 5 door Impreza, in black. Got it for a good deal (under truecar value price) at 0.9% for 72 months with 30% down payment. There's no penalty for paying it off...

Re: Let's talk about cars

We are not CostCo members, so couldn't use that program. I found out about TrueCar, is that the same premise? And do these websites often come back with good, no BS, deals? I have little patience and...

Re: Let's talk about cars

The second car we are replacing that I've been using is just an old 98 BMW convertible, which the wife's family gave to me to use until we have enough saved for a decent downpayment, so I'll be...

We are looking at getting a new car later this year. We are looking at financing a car (hopefully on a good dealership finance deal, otherwise we will do it through our bank) over 3-4 years. Are...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Any advice on car buying?

Looking to buy a new car, hopefully a Veloster (I test drove it, I like it!), but I'm confused by the numbers dealerships keeps throwing around, what do I need to ask or...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I did a left foot brake numerous times on my wife when have been shopping etc, and I was still getting used to only 2 pedals and one foot! :rofl: She used to think we had hit something or someone...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I had to do the dad manoeuvre.. Reverse with your hand on the back of the passenger seat, twisting right round and looking out the back window to. I think I'm ready for children now....

Re: Let's talk about cars

Parallel parking between cones was the weirdest bit. I've only ever done it, and learnt to do it, with actual cars so to not have 2 cars as my reference points when doing it was strange...

Re: Let's talk about cars

The tester just spoke to me about footy and the premier league, with a casual 'turn right here' etc now and again. Kinda felt like I was cruising about with a friend or something, rather than taking...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Finally got round to taking my driving test this morning. Upon conclusion, I can see why everyone is pretty bad at driving if that was it! I took a vision, written, road sign and driving test and was...

Re: Let's talk about cars

It sounds like season 2 is better, by a long shot, than season 1. Is it worth finishing of Ep3 in season 1 and skipping to the second season? Or are there still worthy watching bits in season 1...

You've just made me think of St Louis as a whole. So many people obviously living above there means driving around in Challengers and Camaro's in St Louis :rofl:

I'd much rather wait, as...

Awesome. That's good to know, especially with the Fall/Winter coming up meaning lots of 4 hour trips to Chicago and back for the girlfriends birthday, thanksgiving, Christmas and some other stuff....

Re: Let's talk about cars

Quick question - our car had a flat tire and I got it a quick repair with a 'plug' repair. It's now sorted and I got it done today quickly at the tire garage by us (girlfriend and I car share at the...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Well that sounds good. I'll get the girlfriend to check for me. Does that mean that I can car share with her without having to get my own insurance if so? That's awesome, and so much easier as we...

Re: Let's talk about cars

That's better mileage than my current car, and with the cheaper cost of fuel too, I'd be better off! I kind of like the 2005 onwards body shapes. I'm very tempted now, having heard they're a decent...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Thanks for the welcome! :)

That sounds quite cheap! I was expecting it to cost more for a Mustang. Or is that the general price for a used one?

As I will be hopefully here on an F1 student...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Hey guys, new to the forums so thought I'd get involved elsewhere, you all seem a nice bunch ;)
