Completely off topic BS thread!!!

heres the deal. The murk had the tire slashed, so its sitting there looking like a heap. and the mustang was either hit with a car or kicked or who knows what, but the quarter panel is damaged and scuffed black...so I dont know. Had the police here to file reports, gonna check all my security cams and see if I can see anything. I just dont get it...

Wow, This makes me never want to park my cars in public again. wtf, is there really that many low lifes out there? I just can't believe how much of this shit has been going on.

Sorry to hear about the car man.

Maybe im just too old but the VW just screams econo box A-B cheap transportation to me. Not because it is an import, the style is just too plain for me.

Random automotive thought of the day

2006 Land Rover LR3 V8 (used ~25k-30k miles). 300 hp 4.4L V8, loaded, would expect to get ~13/19 mpg.
2008 VW R32 (used ~5k-15k miles) 250 hp 3.2L V6, AWD, twin clutch transmission, leather, loaded, would expect to get 17/27 mpg.
2009 VW GTI (new) 200 hp 2.0L Turbo I4, FWD, twin clutch transmission, leather, loaded, would expect to get 20/30 mpg.

For argument's sake, they're about the same price. I don't care that much about gas $$$, I don't put enough miles on a year to make a big difference. Which one would you want as a daily driver?

LR3:






R32 (I like white, gray and red)






GTI (would have to be white)




interior would be near identical to R32's with the leather package.


Interested in hearing everyone's .02

I'm actually pretty serious about the R32 & the GTI. I have not driven a Land Rover LR3, but I've driven both the Range Rover HSE and the Range Rover Sport, both of which are very very nice.

The rover is OK, I like the Jeep Commander appearance better though. I know, the rover caries more "Status" but I guess im just not into that end of it.

[SoLow]

i agree with lou...go with the VW

[scott5]

get teh f150 raptor Bo

[MBH]

R32 All the way^^^

Land Rovers are junk Bo

lmao I love that clark posted right after you the opposite. I just drove an R32 on monday and I loved it. Its a fun take on a practical car. I drove the GTI back in the end of June & loved that too. They're really nice cars and I love the way they drive.

I've heard hit/miss with land rovers, but then again you can say the same about jaguars. (Or Volkswagens for that matter) My mom's on her 3rd one since 02 and she loves em. I don't think they've had to go to the shop for anything to get fixed at all. Her XF had to go back for a recall because she got hers when they first hit the states & it had to go back to get some updates they put on the second batch of cars or some BS. I'm not really worried so much about the reliability of the car to be honest. A few friends of my parents own LRs or RRs and they've been good to them as well. None of them were first model year cars, and for the LR3 that was 2005 and it had some issues that were sorted out by 06.

But I have heard horror stories, no doubt

land rover is sick bo

IMO they're all pretty nice cars. Nicer than I need, no doubt. But you've never really known me for my practicality or self restraint when I really want something

Maybe im just too old but the VW just screams econo box A-B cheap transportation to me. Not because it is an import, the style is just too plain for me.

My dad says the same exact thing, and to some extent I agree with you. The more I've looked into them the more I like them though. They're reasonably priced for everything they offer & hold their value pretty well. Plus they're doing 0% for 66 month on the new GTI right now

The rover is OK, I like the Jeep Commander appearance better though. I know, the rover caries more "Status" but I guess im just not into that end of it.

I liked the commander a lot til I was with a bunch of friends in vegas and we got one as a rental car. They don't do much well, and I've already gone down that road before (H3 = upscale uhaul, without the storage capacity).

i agree with lou...go with the VW

agree with him that he doesn't fancy the VW or the LR, so go with the VW?

get teh f150 raptor Bo

that truck makes my pants get tighter
Aside from the raptor I'm not really a pick up truck guy though, nor do I want to be, becaues all my friends will try to mooch it to move shit... and if I had a raptor, heads would roll if they messed it up!!


fap fap fap fap


but in all seriousness, even if I could get 0% its like 15k outta my league. I'd like to be able to get something really nice, but under 26 OTD is my absolute max. Unless there is something ridiculously underpriced, then I'd have to really cook the books

oh and the other reason I'm looking into staying with an SUV is for my dad.

For as long as I can remember, he's had an SUV because we'd always need it for something or another. He also used to always have a sports car that would get garaged, til he traded his denali and his m roadster in on his x5 and didn't plan on getting another sports car for a while (he never drove the M). We work together, and I live at home for the time being, so we talk a lot. We're pretty good friends. And before you judge me, there is no sense in getting a place right now, I may move to Omaha soon - in which case all this SUV crap goes out the window, and I'll probably sell my cobra too. But no rent = nice down payment :)

I figure, if I'm staying in Pittsburgh, and I get an SUV instead of a lil hatch back, we could swap cars whenever and it would be no big deal, and he could get whatever the hell kind of daily driver he wants. I know he really likes the BMW M5, and I know I wouldn't mind trading keys for that :)

I may move to Omaha soon

Do you want to get drug back by the short hairs!!?? ahahahaha
