Let's talk about cars

You win. I will just run the engine to shame you.

You are missing a lot,dealership by me has free sandwiches,hot breakfast sandwiches in morning,cold non alcoholic drinks,virtual golf range if you into golf,massage chairs and the VIP treatment by your rep and valet service,vacuum the whole car and much more that I forget.In fact Lexus dealership in Warsaw has some of that too but still not as good as in States.

What is this MPG?

MPG=Miles per Gallon.

Thanks, now I know, my Golf makes 38 MPG.

Back to the car. Is there any electric car user on PF to change own experiences with us?

Why makes my mobile "exchange" to " change" automatically?

Hey, Poles, try Lexus LS460. You are going to love how super quiet it is...You can rip into Russia while driving and your buddy will not miss a word.

And the acceleration...That small block 4.6L V8 is really cool...Zero to 60 in 5.5 seconds.

How? There are only 12 LS 460 for sale in whole Poland.

Which year is it?How many miles on it?How easy and comfi is it to get in and out of that flintstone car?


LOL and how many GX & LX for sale(excluding non accidental imports from the US)I have only seen one new GX in Warsaw with Krakow plates.

Hey Mazur my freaking trucks giving me only 13.9 MPG locally like my old LX 570.
Yesterday I went to buy a car for my daughter and they offered me 1.9%APR,I was surprised but not after looking at my score.It showed 851 on my Credit card app and the dealer told me was 859,I didnt even know that some agencies secretly evaluate you at 900 max score.I thought 850 was max.I do have a black Amex though.

Is that what you call those?

Don't you have to register them as weapons or at least post a warning?
I remember seeing those in Warsaw way back and putting them on my list of reasons why I had to come here.

These are not fins anymore, these are sails.

My babcia had an old Cadillac with those fins. I cant imagine how much gasoline it would cost to keep that land yacht running today. Its roomy though:) You could smuggle 20 migrants over the border with it.

That picture was taken before men allowed women to vote.
What a huge mistake.

@Joker
I think that car looks great!
Yeah, they may have been gas guzzeling monsters and had terrible handling, but they just looked great!

PIRE experience. You have to charge your electric car 19 times over 3000 km. Nightmare.

Not unreasonable.

And of course that will change as technology develops. Plus, we do need to move steadily away from car use, especially among city-dwellers.


Dreadful cars but looked great and used to bounce.

...to a tree hugger...and so is starving half of humanity to "save the earth".

A certain generation are still wedded to the idea of mass car ownership and living miles from public transport.

Try carrying 40 pounds of groceries on "public transport" if you are a 120-pound woman.

Woman (def.) - an adult human being that was born with ovaries.

They deliver nowadays. And nobody in a city needs to be more than 15 minutes from the shops.

As you age, 15 min. can become very,very long.

All very weak arguments. So I have a better one. A carless person cannot be carjacked by a nig*ger. Robbed, shot, raped, but not carjacked.

Car is safety, not just "transport".


Add the pleasure of walking in a foot of snow when the temp is zero F...

I forgot ice...Real fun slipping when you are 80, carrying 20 pounds...

It's only a quarter of an hour.

I remember once in England, when I lived in Leeds, coming out of my house to nip to the corner shop. A woman who lived a few doors down came out of her house at the same time and we waved. As I disappeared aroound the corner, I saw her fiddling with her car keys and getting into her car.

I walked to the shop, no more than two minutes away and went in to buy whatever it was. As I was coming out, the woman was getting out of her car that she'd parked up somewhere and was walking towards the shop. I assumed she was stopping off there on her way somewhere.

When I got home, two minutes later, she was pulling up outside her house in her car and parking it. It was literally quicker to walk and she was only buying a packet of cigs.

There is a difference between shopping for a condom vs food for six.
