'96 Honda Accord, v6 automatic. 78k miles, but it's an Accord, so it'll never die. Green. CD player that reads RWs. Cloth seats (I HATE leather). No wrecks or major incidents in its history. Fold-down back seat. $10,500. All in all, a good car. I am filled with much happiness.

This is a myth, a modern automatic trans. can give you better gas mileage than most manual drivers.

I will allow this double equals sign thing to continue for another 2 and a half weeks before I start hitting people.
Manual only equals better "gas" mileage if you use it properly, which I doubt most people do. And I also doubt whether it makes a significant difference at all.
Automatic = more time to play with the car radio.
And using a car is already lazy. I see no need to make it more complicated when there is no real need. Or do you want a manual choke as well?

Maybe one that plays MP3s? I currently own a Diskman that gives about 10 hours per CD on a portable that has power for 24. A car based version with a CD changer would be sweet.
From personal experience, I usually burn only "new" unscreened mp3s onto CD-RWs while archive material goes onto CDRs. Still one wonders if they will make a DVD mp3 player...at 10 hours per CD and 650MB, a DVD would give a running time of....a lot.

BTW I think that part of the reason for going for automatic transmission is also that the gearbox of a manual car gets worn out if you're driving through those huge American cities and gearing up and down all the time.
But I prefer manual gears, Cartman's right, you get much more control of the car. Besides, it's nice to shift gears. Especially when they go "clunk!". AND manual chokes have their uses too. For example, if you leave the choke out longer than necessary you can take your foot off the accelerator and keep going, sort of like cruise mode (albeit a horribly inefficient and pathetic attempt at cruise mode). Mmmm... Cruise mode, now THERE'S a feature worth having.

And I live in Delaware, where suburbia meets traffic jams. Almost everywhere. Driving a stick shift in traffic would not be my idea of fun. And riding a stick shift in traffic would not only be suicidal, but probably painful as well.

Posted by The359 (Member # 37) on :
For those of you who think Automatics are junky, you obviously have not seen the modern Automatic transmission. Companies like BMW, Aston Martin, and Ferrari have developed a new style of automatic transmission that uses regular gearing like a manual (instead of the fluid-based transmission of an automatic), but has it controlled by a computer. These systems can switch gears nearly instantaneously, with BMWs system boasting a change of around 1/10th of a second.
In other words, it's a computer controlled manual. But that's not all there is to it, since the system can be overridden by the driver so that he can shift on his own, using two paddles located behind the steering wheel, therefore allowing the driver to keep his hands on the wheel at all times. A flip of the right paddle shifts up one, a flip of the left paddle shifts down one.
The other key thing about these transmissions is that they have no clutch pedal. As soon as either the computer attempts to shift gears, or the driver hits a padel, the computer automatically controls the clutch, allowing for such quick gear changes to be possible.
Another new system developed by Mitsubishi for the DaimlerChrysler Automotive Group (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Mercedes-Benz, Smart, Maybach, Mitsubishi) is Autostick. Autostick is a regular, fluid-based automatic transmission that features a manual override. With a flick of the floor shifter to either the left or right, one can force the car to shift gears before the computer would normally shift. Again, this is clutchless since it has no real gears, it's merely the change in the fluid transmission. Other Japanese companies like Honda, Toyota, and Nissan have followed Mitsubishi with the Autostick development (although they use a different name for their versions), and they can be found on most of their luxury car lines (Acura, Lexus, and Infiniti). These Autostick systems allow you to have the ease of an automatic, but the sportiness of a manual only when you feel like driving in a sporty fashion.
As for gas mileage, regular manuals are as a standard 1mpg better then an automatic, but as someone already said, that's under ideal conditions.

Bah! Delaware may be small, but the northern part of the state is hardly rural. New Castle County may not be Baltimore City or Philadelphia, but it is very suburban ... lots of streets, a large industrial complex (ever hear of DuPont, which first produced gunpowder for a century and then branched off into chemical production? Founded in Delaware, baby!) and also a heavy commercial presence in Wilmington, a decent-sized city with a a bunch of towers.

However, as an addict to all that is car audio, simply settling for a "cd player that plays CD-RWs" or the like is just not good enough for me....
Well, it has a very nice bass booster. It's kinda fun kicking up the bass as high as it'll go and playing those big whomping synth chords in "It's My Life". It's also fun to sit in the parking lot after a church activity and play "Your Song" and "We Didn't Start the Fire" as loud as I can with the windows down.
Anyway, I'm not completely sure of the point. Using CD-RWs as audio CDs seems like a bit of a waste to me, especially when CD-Rs are ten a penny nowadays.
They're a quarter a piece over here, give or take. And the real reason is that it gives me less to keep up with. I just burn one CD-RW repeatedly, wherever I am, and I don't have to keep up with the CD-Rs. Simpler, cheaper... no downside.
Accord Coupe or Sedan?
Sedan.
I currently own a Diskman that gives about 10 hours per CD on a portable that has power for 24. A car based version with a CD changer would be sweet.
They have little $30 FM transmitters that'd be good for that. iRock 300w. Get 'em at Radio Shack or CompUSA. Just plug into your headphone jack and go. Of course, how well it works depends on how sensitive your radio is and what frequencies are free in your area. Also good for karaoke on church busses.
at 10 hours per CD and 650MB, a DVD would give a running time of....a lot.
Last number I heard was a week.

I have theoretical knowledge of how to operate a manual transmission. I simply fail to see the point. It'd be like typing in all the individual lines in autoexec.bat. Sure, it helps certain memory skills, but it's a waste of time and memory skills that can be used better for other purposes.

And that install picture with the PS1 and the screen on the wheel? Yeah...... uhhh... not as extreme as it could be........
I'm in the process right now of finalizing my component list, then I'll start buying this for the next install.... so far, I know for sure I'm going to go with Alpine for my head unit, monitors, and changer. The deck I'm getting plays MP3s off of CD-Rs, along with WMA files, regular CDs, and DVDs.... that's important because I'm going to have 3 monitors in my car. One that's motorized in the dash up front, and one in the back of each headrest. For speakers, MB Quart Q series component sets, 6 1/2" plus tweeter for up front and in back. Also, MB Quart Q series 6"X9" in the rear deck. JL Audio 10W3 (or 10W6) subs fiberglassed into an enclosure in the back that will take up the least amout of trunk space, but still look cool. Plus I'm going to have a dvd changer in the trunk that also changes CDs, and at least 2, if necessary 3, Phoenix Gold Titanium series amps that will be integrated into my trunk floor and will have a plexiglass sheild over them. For fun, I will also have a PS2 built into a secret compartment in the back seat, so that my passengers are never bored....
It's a bit extreme, yes... but I fully intend to compete with this car, so extreme it must be. And besides, I won't cost me NEARLY as much as it sounds. Car purchase price + System, I'll still only be looking at 11-12K....
Oh... and for those of you that HATE hearing other people's stereos as they drive up the road, don't worry. The first thing I'm going to do when I get my car is gut it and insulate EVERYTHING.... the only way you'll hear anything when I'm done is if I have it cranked WAY up, and you're standing RIGHT by the car listening.... it's going to be beautiful

Posted by The359 (Member # 37) on :
This is exactly why I am not fond of people modifying stereo systems in cars. I personally would like to save my eardrums. And music sounds much much better when the car's frame isn't vibrating in tune to the beat.
Since you want to put this car into competition, I'm taking a helluva guess that you're going to do some exterior "modifications" as well, am I right? Cause if it is...yeah, I'm going to have to bring some pain... Posted by Magnus Pym Eye (Member # 239) on :
Don't forget spoilers! Those are so cool and not at all wanker and stupid. http://www.accordracing.com/ might have some.
I think they'd have more "Type-R" stickers then "Turbo" stickers. Or NOS stickers for the "The Fast And The Furious" fanboys.
Am I the only one who finds it odd that LOA is into this stuff?

As for "I'm a Believer", the Monkies (or however the frell it's spelled) version is vastly inferior. I have them both.

Topher: how fast were you speeding anyway? Must have been insanely quick, as it's pretty tough to actually get your license revoked... Posted by Magnus Pym Eye (Member # 239) on :
Perhaps he's a repeat offender? Or maybe they're just silly over there. It is the maritimes, after all, eh, Bye?
Posted by Topher (Member # 71) on :
I was going 155 kph in a 100 kph zone. It comes out to a $300 ticket and 5 points. Licenses in NB work on the point system, where whenever you get tickets you get points taken away. As I only had at best 4 points, my license goes bye-bye.
Posted by Springfield Armory Snay (Member # 411) on :
Holy shit dude.
You have no one but yourself to blame. And maybe your parents for not beating the shit out of you when you got your first ticket. When do you get it back?

I've been faster in my life, but only twice, and I was driving only one of those times.

I wasn't driving, but we weren't breaking any laws.

Posted by Springfield Armory Snay (Member # 411) on :
Omega? Right? As in wing, not as in correct, yes but no.
Posted by The359 (Member # 37) on :
I've been to 105mph on several occasions, since there was a stretch of farm road near my house in Indiana that was basically empty, so I had a long enough run to get up that fast. Unfortunatly the road wasn't all long, so I might have been able to go faster and hit the governor.

I have yet to break the 75mph threshold. I live life in the break-down lane.
Posted by LOA (Member # 49) on :
I've gotten my car up to 116mph a couple of times, but no faster... that's got to be where the governer is set to....
On my way to Seattle though, I regularly go 100-105 mph..... it's a long straight stretch of road with no one around, so I don't worry about hurting anyone other than myself.......
Posted by Topher (Member # 71) on :
I was driving a Focus. It can reach 172 kph. I sometimes drive that fast. It was a long, straight stretch of highway. I regularly drive fast. I regularly drive at 4:30 in the morning coming home from work, where there literally is no one around, other than the occaisonal big rig. I like to drive fast, no other way around it. And yes, I have heard everything in the world about this, so I don't really need to hear anything out of you bunch. Just take solace in the fact that I won't be driving for a while whether of the province's design or my parents's.

A few points...
1. I shower in the morning (or, when I get up, which is often te afternoon), not the evening. And I don't sing. Believe me, you don't want me to sing.
2. Is this Bon Jovi "It's My Life" any relation to the one by the Animals? If not, my mental image must change.
3. One is much more likely to find a regular Civic riced-out than a CRX. CRXs just aren't as common or modern. But, unfortunately, yes, CRXs do get riced out. Those bastards.

Perhaps, though if I could scour all knowledge of Bon Jovi from my brain I would be a happier person.
Posted by MaGiC (Member # 59) on :
Be careful who you say that to...In some circles (mine for example) thats fighting talk. I'm seeing Bon Jovi live in October. I have bought �85.00 worth of designer underwear just in case the unimaginable happens and I find myself in his company..... Posted by Captain... Mike (Member # 709) on :
i remember that Bon Jovi had a cameo as a navy photographer in U-571, and a lot of the audience guffawed when a flying piece of wreckage decapitated him. Was this a bad time to tell that story?

The director got death threats for months apparently....No idea who they were from....

There is never a bad time to tell that story. Unless I am drunk, in which case my opinion of Bon Jovi makes a Jeff-like dramatic about turn, and I love the man like a mother.
I have no idea who the Animals are. I'm hoping that they involve Animal from the Muppets, but I'm not holding out much hope.

And I thought he was alive at the end of U-571, and had a larger role than a cameo. But maybe it was my imagination.
Posted by Grokca (Member # 722) on :
You mean John Blow Me? He sucks.
Posted by Nim Pim Pim (Member # 205) on :
He had a real role, I think he was master of arms or what the call it, he was next under Matthew Mackonoitagravy in command, I think. I thought he was real cool, short hair and everything. I don't remember the flying hatch decapitated him, but he sure died from it, it was a point in the movie where all the people non-essential to ze plot would be removed, just like Captain "Game over man!" Hudson.
Posted by Captain... Mike (Member # 709) on :
it was very quick, as sub explosions that propel debris hard enough to decapitate people tend to move quickly. His death was originally longer but they shortened it for concerns about how violent it was. I didnt think he was an important character.. he was taking pictures, i'm pretty sure he was just the sub photog. i'll check.
siegfried, i apparently had that same keyboard. played house of the rising sun, yesterday, and venus. i was so surprised when much later i found out what the real versions of those songs sounded like. i prefer the midi-ized versions of a few of them.

Posted by Tora Ziyal (Member # 53) on :
Hey cool, Omega. My family has two Hondas right now, an Accord and a Civic. We're not exactly Honda fans, but our first Honda runs okay so my parents decided to get another one. My new dream car is either a Civic Hybrid or an Insight. The Insight is slightly more pricey but has better mileage. Then again, I prefer the four doors on the Civic (Why does a chicken coop have two doors? Because if it had four, it would be a chicken sedan!), sort of a habit from having to sit in the backseat all the time.
Posted by Vice-Admiral Michael T. Colorge (Member # 144) on :
Wow, the Hybrid Civics do look cool Ziyal. I just test drove one because I need a smaller car than what I currently drive. I'm thinking the Civic Hybrid or the Toyota Prius.
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
I considered the Insight, but it's got room for two people and a small terrier. If you're lucky. And it's so light that in a heavy crosswind, you can get blown into the next lane. Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :

Posted by LOA (Member # 49) on :
I LOVE the Civic Hybrid..... when I was at the Hoda dealership the other day, all I could really do is drool on it.....
However, I have my sights set on a different car for now.... this Honda Ch ick is thinking about temporarily trying something new:
2001 Mazda Protege ES 2.0 - 5sp, PW, PL, PM, Alloys, Sunroof, Sporty look inside (I LOVE the ES), Spoiler, Silver Ext, Black Int, Tinted windows.....
Aside from the fact that it's a 5sp, it's PERFECT in every way....
We'll see though... I have until tomorrow to make my decision, and it IS a bit more money than I probably should be spending.....
Pleh Posted by Topher (Member # 71) on :
Proteg�s are nice cars, and Mazdas are just as reliable as Hondas. Mazda Proteg�s are the car of choice for the driving school I went to (and will be going again ). I'd go for it, if you can afford it.

Learn to drive a stick. You'll thank yourself later. It's really no harder then learning to ride a bike.
Plus, if you do get a 5-speed, Omega won't be able to steal it.
Posted by Magnus de Pym (Member # 239) on :
And then, if the fates allow, get a Jeep and drive over railroad trusses all day.

Now, Buttercup, all you would need to do is hitch up a little red wagon to the back of the Segway. It'd be so easy to transport groceries, a passenger, or a Great Dane with 16 kilos of pure cocaine tucked into condoms and shoved up his ass.

Posted by The359 (Member # 37) on :
You drool over Honda Civic Hybrids? Ugh...
I drool over this: 2003/2004 Aston Martin DB7 Zagato
A modified Aston Martin DB7 Vantage that is shipped to Italy to have it's body built, by hand, by Zagato coachbuilders. Every exterior panel is pounded out with hammer and anvil. The standard 420hp V12 is upped to ~450hp, and the car made lighter by 60kg. Dark Chocolate aniline leather interior. 2-seater only (No 2+2 option, unlike DB7 Vantage). 6 speed manual transmission with modified Final Drive gear and short-throw shifter. Vantage Sport suspension. Upgraded brakes. Car built to buyer's specifications. Total uniqueness since only 75 - 100 cars will be built. 0 - 60 in under 5 seconds. Top speed over 190mph. Total price of approximatly $200,000.
Gimme. Now. Posted by The_Tom (Member # 38) on :
Would I sound Omegesque in my tastes if I said I preferred the styling on the regular DB7? The grille just seems a bit disproportional, though I'm sure it sucks powerfully.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Yes, it looks like some kind of whale or something. Be sure to clean the excess plankton off the radiator regularly...
Posted by The359 (Member # 37) on :
Well it's merely a matter of taste. The DB4GT Zagato had a slightly larger grill with a large nose overhang compared to the regular DB4GT, and the V8 Vantage Zagato had a totally redesigned grill. So I guess it's just a Zagato trademark (along with the Double-Bubble roof styling).
The grill reminds me of the Chrysler LHS/Concorde and Cunningham C12R grills.
Of course, the grill isn't the only thing that has changed:
Beefed up rear wheel arches, double-bubble roof and rear window, Italian-style taillights, fold-down boot access, and a modern take on the Kamm tail, originally used on the DB6.
Posted by Colorful Cartman (Member # 256) on :
I'm more of a Vanquish man myself. Though I probably wouldn't buy an AM (assuming I ever could afford one, that is).
Also, the '92 Vantage looked better. Posted by The359 (Member # 37) on :
I have no problem with the Vanquish, it's also a great looking car and the performance is better then the DB7 Zagato, but the Zagato is also more of a collector's item. Less then 100 Zagatos will be built total, while 300 Vanquishs will be built this year alone. All to this the fact that the Zagato is the most powerful DB7 yet, better then the regular car or the Vantage version. The Vanquish is merely the starting of the new line. Vanquish Vantage will be out in a few years with slightly new styling and a ~700hp Supercharged V12. So this Zagato may be one of the last big hurrahs for the DB7 before DB8 comes out in the future.
Oh, and the '92 V8 Vantage was good, but the '99 V8 Vantage LeMans was better 550hp Twin-Supercharged V8 in standard form or 600hp in V600 form. 40 built, the last of the V8 Vantage line. All painted British Racing Green I believe. Built for the 40th anniversary of Aston Martin's only winning of LeMans in 1959 with the DBR1.
Posted by Colorful Cartman (Member # 256) on :
Put it this way: I'd have no objection to owning any of these beasts, but if given the choice, I'd still pick the Vanquish.
*sigh* reality checks are a bitch.

OR, you could always get on eBay and buy a deLorian...
Posted by Vice-Admiral Michael T. Colorge (Member # 144) on :

Posted by The_Tom (Member # 38) on :
Actually, the whole retro snazz factor could well convince me to buy a De Lorean if it was going cheaply enough. I mean, I wouldn't enter it into the Paris-to-Senegal Rally or anything, but you could find it fairly easily at the mall parking lot.

Yes, but the thing about deLoriens is that everyone's SEEN 'em, but never in the proverbial flesh. Few other cars fit that description.
Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
Oh, I've seen one in person. And ridden in one. And driven one. In the words of Mr. Charles Laurence Olivea, "I was underwhelmed." Like the limoship in "Restaurant At The End Of The Universe," the Delorean (that's how it's spelled, gents) looks like a fish, moves like a fish, steers like a cow. And the shocks are utter shite. SHITE. I've felt better rides in a whorehouse. And they're heavy, too--all that steel isn't exactly light.
No, the best thing to come out of the whole Delorean debacle was the interview has gave to Playboy in the September 1985 issue. Quite a fascinating read & I heartily recommend it.
Posted by The359 (Member # 37) on :
I think you mean the Paris-Dakar rally. And I've seen a Delorean in real life as well. It was stuck in traffic somewhere in Virgina on teh opposite side of the highway.
And if you're going to get a Delorean, an engine swap might help. The popular engine choice nowadays is a Honda NSX V6. And the suspension, I would think, would be pretty damn good, since I think it's made by Lotus.
