The reason why I find showing off like this is useless, is because there is absolutely 0 purpose to it, I mean if I wanted to look at random cars, then I would type that in Google and have my fun there.
I do understand why people want to show off the cool things they have, but the more expensive it gets, the more unbelievable it gets, which turns the topic in, well this.
Well you and I can verify each others :) I inspected yours and I'm sure you seen mine while you were there.Quote:

It gets me from A to B.
Well they rebuilt the block, It really wasn't even expensive. All new heads or whatever, some place in Arlington did the work, and they did a nice job. My roommate fixed the rest. I want to get something else, just don't know what, and I really loathe car dealers. But we're keeping this car. My roommate will drive if it nothing else, it gets better gas mileage for back and forth to work than his truck does.Quote:

So I guess it won't be one of those. Oh just thinking about car dealers makes my stomach upset.
What kind is it? Looks like a pretty nice car to me.Quote:

If you want to browse cars without being bothered by sales people constantly a few tips to get them to leave you alone....
A) Wear aloof clothing...IE: Sweats..T-shirt...old sneakers...sign you can't afford anything..I know it's shitty...but sales people look at what your wearing as a sign of what your going to buy...
B) Have a toothpick in your mouth...I know it sounds weird but you would be amazed at the amount of people after eating at a restaurant like to just walk around to settle their meal and window shop....sales people avoid people with a toothpick in their mouth.
C) Be honest up front...I'm not buying...just looking. Salespeople work on commision...so most won't waste time on someone who's just window shopping.
Most major dealerships have most of their cars locked up tight on the lot....inside they are unlocked and you are free to sit in them all you want...now smaller "tote the note" dealerships usually have all their cars unlocked outside...i know most of them are older and crap...but they always have a few on the lot that are a year old or newer.
As for the Jeep Liberty...there's a reason Dodge put it on hold...the engine was horribly underpowered for such a large vehicle and it rode horribly on the streets...very rough ride and cornered like an anchor..massive body roll...it was fun offroad but most people who purchase them don't even go offroad.
In 2014 an new Liberty will be hitting the market...it will be smaller and more aerodynamic and probably offer a better V6 option and an V8.

Oh you had me until the Ford part. Well I hope your Ford is better than any of the ones I had, Because I won't own a Ford ever again. Found on Road Dead was the best way to describe my Fords.Quote:

Last time I looked for a car, I went after hours and looked at them, peeking in windows. The problem is with some of the newer cars they look big on the outside, but are really tiny on the inside. Take the H2 / H3 for example - looks decent sized, but really cramped inside. So I think getting inside is key. Once I had it narrowed down to under three then I'd deal with test driving and all that. But this all sounds like work. Its too damn hot to go do this now, so maybe in a couple months. ;)
Agreed, most kids are full of shit.Quote:

Seriously guys, spend your money on something more worthwhile.
So if someone is successful they are wrong if they purchase nice things with their earned money?
And how is it boasting if the OP asked what you drive? We are simply answering a question...
As for the speed thing...yes..in my case it comes in handy when those red and blue lights appear behind you...I can simply drop a few gears..twist the throttle and they disappear from my mirror....great...now you'll judge me for that.
It's a difficult question for me, I very much believe in free will and letting people do what they want as much as possible, and yet these big expensive cars tend to waste precious resources that frankly our society shouldn't be wasting. If I had the cash, I'd get a hybrid or electric in a heart beat. But I see people buying these expensive petrol and diesel cards, and I just think it's morally wrong. But hey, lack of morals tends to be an attribute of rich people, so I guess it's not surprising.Quote:

I judge everyone :D, not sure what to judge worse, running from the police or wasting petrol. Tisk on both!
Be careful, a fall from up there might be fatal.Quote:

One of my bikes gets more MPG that a Prius...62 to be exact...my CBR when I'm easy on it can pull a meager 38 MPG.Quote:
