Let's talk about cars

Aston Martin DB5 is the only one true James Bonds car..., although the Jag looks better.

I agree. The Jag has always been a sharp looking ride.

I would really like to have a coupe XK. 2010 and on got a 5.0 engine. And looks good, too.

What do you think about downsizing? Why 5.0 l, why not 1.4 l turbo. On the way to the seaside my car consumed 6.9l/100km on tempomat 130-140km/h. 1.6 l with 156 turbo PS. It is affordable. 12-15l/100km like 5.0 Jag needs is not up to date. With US slow tempo 110 km /h it would be even better, about 4,6l/100km. It is not bad, nobody needs Tesla...

1.4 L is my lawnmower. It's all about the sound. That's why we remove mufflers.

That can be understandable in a bit insecure 18 yo with his 1st car. After 25 it's embarasing

I would rather be insecure 18 than secure 80. That's why I am looking for a toy, not transportation.

Most Common Hyundai 2.0T Engine Problems

Engine failure
Carbon build-up
Excess oil consumption
Oil leaks

Sounds like real fun...

I bet you button the top button on your blouse don't you ?

I am ashamed, but my 1.6 l has an sound-synthesizer , at least in "sport" not in " comfort". Brrrum,brrrumm

Low tones connect with power and authority. High pitch is girlie, it's unpleasant and annoying, and that is why women work on lowering their vocal frequencies to succeed. It's a lion vs mosquito thing.

Sound synthesizer produce artificially low tone, can even imitate a double throttle.

Do you really care about that?
I mean the only attention I pay to how my car sounds is whether it works properly or should I break my piggy bank for the garage bill.

Piggy bank can sleep well. This car is not so old.
But I must use "sport" button because I live in mountains. The turbo effect occurs erlier.

What is a sound synthesizer, Is it what we call Headers?

Hey, I found a photo of Crows car...lol

This Tesla owner confuses me.... The first thing I thought is 1970s Ford Pinto exploding or is he using the gasoline to fill up his generator to charge the car?

I don't like anything that runs on batteries.

I suspect that batteries will become obsolete once very cheap methods of biofuel production will be discovered. Petroleum and natural gas will be depleted someday, of course.

I drove past quite a few of them last week and most lots are completely empty. Im sure if you can find the one you want they will jack up the price also.

How about a 2022 Jaguar? Looks sharp!

@Joker
Sound synthesizer -artificial engine sound.
What is Headers?

Exhaust manifolds.

So Headers is a real exhaust sound, but my device is producing an artificial sound electronically through car loudspeakers I'm afraid.

LOL!


Agreed, I supect that electric cars will not survive as long as many of us think.

Nobody wants the damn things now.
Just wait for a couple of cold days and nights and the battery freezes.
A new battery can cost up to $15,000 U.S.D.

I wouldnt want to be stuck in a snowstorm with an electric car. They seem ok for the city but not very reliable for cross country.


I found a photo of Rich and Johnny auto racing! lol
