Philprop Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 For some reason when I see white cars I always think of drug dealers.....maybe I watched too many films in the 90s!!! I kind of think the same way, although where I live it's white trucks. Usually if someone here drives a white pickup(usually a dodge ram, rarely a f150) it means you work in the oil industry, most likely in Alberta and it means you are a ******. Lol. Good thing you didn't buy a Dodge Ram, Rob. I'm actually in the process of buying a new car. The wife got rear ended Monday afternoon and got shoved into the truck in front of her. Car got totalled, she is perfectly ok with no injury at all and the baby is perfect(.did I mention we're expecting a child in September? ). So now we have only my truck to drive both of us to work and around town so trying to find her a new car. It's either a Toyota corolla or honda civic but she can't decide. She doesn't care for add ones, only wants something that actually drives. But insists she wants the cheapest one but that means getting a Manual transmission(which she can drive) but she refuses. I hate the car buying process. Even worse is getting used to the new car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmc123 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I saw a Black Mercedes cruising around brisbane yesterday with number plate BHK 54. Slightly disappointed that this wasn't robs! Will probably be even more disappointed if it's someone's initials and birthyear. Such a waste! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drguano Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 We just went through the special hell of car shopping after my wife totaled her 98 Acura. I am still stunned that she decided on a new black MINI Cooper Countryman S with 6 speed manual and AWD. The best part about having a manual transmission is no one will be wanting to borrow it.

El Presidente Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 In my defence " Princess" My JK Wrangler's most technical feature was the "heater" Shlomo....I couldn't find the ignition button! Car does drive like a dream. The 3 LT Diesel is a monster of an engine. looking forward to getting her off road. Agreed Tom. . I will change the wheels over at the 15-20K mark with new tyres. 20 inch comes standard on the Overland but you wouldn't know it. Only other thing I will change is the sound system. Standard is fine but I love excellence in car sound so Rainbow/Focal audio upgrade on the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwsaw63 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 After having to figure out how to reset the tyre pressure monitor on my sis-in-law's VW Tiguan, my sympathies are with Rob. Far too many bells & whistles on cars these days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingMeadery Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Im with you all the way on the sound system upgrade. Quality of sound is a absolute must to completing the optimal driving experience... As Beekeepers, we spend a lot of time on the road in the 4x4 Landcruisers and Angela likes to rock out...

El Presidente Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Have now done 300km since Friday. Way too much electronics for me yet the UConnect central module is built for idiots. Kudos. I now have 80% of it down. Pros; The 3lt diesel is a magnificent engine. VM Moto born. 0-100km hour is easily achieved in 7.5 seconds (same as FIAT Abath yet this thing is 2.tonnes +) . Economy today 9l per 100km. Good for a new engine that I had in sports mode. Fit and trim is the best I have seen in Jeep. Not quite Range Rover Vogue standard, yet $100K cheaper with the same inclusions. Cons. Reverse gear is a tad touchy. In fact the entire gear selection is a tad touchy. Throw it in reverse and put your foot down..you will be in the neighours loungeroom before you know it Overall. great value for money 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Rob took me for a spin around the block. I think he was hoping to show me a bit of power, we got stuck behind a learner doing about 40.

Laxman Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Enjoy your new ride. Technology in some of these cars is nuts these days. Lease a new audi ever 18 months and have tried all there cars by now and still use 10% of the electronics at best. Agree the stereo is the most important thing. You can't go anywhere with out good tunes. End post Enjoy End post Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
