I drive: KIA EV6.
What I wish for? A better KIA EV6. I love my EV6, it’s a marvellous car,much more fun than the Audis, BMWs, etc. I drove before. But yet there is room for improvents.
I wish I didn’t need to drive
I just moved out of a city with amazing cycling infrastructure to the suburbs of a larger city… this city has okay transit but their cycling infrastructure is basically telling drivers to please not hit cyclists on the shared roads. At least until you get downtown you’ll be meandering through neighbourhoods because they don’t want to take away peoples parking spots on the main roads.
What I drive: None
What I want to drive: a Car-free walkable city
people don’t realise how much better the world would be if we had no cars in cities. You think you do, but you don’t.
What I drive: Ford Fiesta (i don’t remember the year)
What I want to drive: The Millennium Falcon
Ford fiestas feel like the default car
That is Ford’s claim to fame!
Fuel, electric
I’ll also take autonomous. No, a horse with umbrella doesn’t count!!
Have: 2000 Toyota Echo Want: pretty much any used PHEV or electric
The echo is simple, cheap and robust. But I’d love to stop burning gas for inner city travel.
I drive a car with an internal combustion engine.
I’d prefer to drive a plug-in hybrid, so I could produce slightly less greenhouse gas.
But I’d really prefer a walkable neighbourhood with reliable rapid transit. Maybe car sharing for trips.
Lots of complexity in a hybrid, and gas does eventually go bad if you don’t use it. Though when I used to have a motorcycle it always ran after the winter in the garage so idk how long that actually takes to happen…
iirc, the bigger problem is that the gas separates out a water layer that can rust your gas tank, allowing rust flakes to clog your carb.
Apparently Mitsubishis (and others, I assume) are smart enough to use the gas before it goes bad. 🤷♂️
Driving: A kia picanto
Want to drive: An electric vehicle with cargospace enough for four goats or a 1kubic meter liquid container
Do you have pet goats? I love goats. :D
This is awesome
F R I T Z?
No idea what you mean. Are you asking about my name?
What are your thoughts on the Picanto?
Have: a stage 2 '05 Impreza WRX STi in moderately good repair.
Want: a stage 2 '05 Impreza WRX STi in good repair with an ethanol sensor and new tune to enable selectively running E85.
I have a rusty bugeye wrx wagon :)
Can’t believe they killed the STI … Granted we have the GR corolla, but it’s just not the same without the boxer :(
I wanted a WRX hatch back, but not like this … not like this.
Yoooo … Finally a thread about cars …
I drive a Manual 2019 Mustang GT convertible I bought of the auction and rebuilt in my apartment … It was tough to find a car in the height of Covid and I had very little wiggle room since I ended up putting a piston thru the block in my 2016 Genesis Coupe …
And this is the Genny I killed, she had over 120 miles and I was very lazy with maintenance … not that their build quality is the best to begin with
a) 2012 Honda CR-V <p> b) 2012 Honda CR-V
Living the dream - seriously. Cheap, comfy, reliable car that is fairly good on gas. Has bluetooth for music but doesn’t spy on me. Very convenient, secure antitheft system involving a metal key.
Volvo XC90 T8. I don’t want any other car; It’s great under scandinavian winter conditions, my entire family fits, and it’s genuinely a nice car without being too flashy.
Volvo gang
My previous car was also a Volvo. A 940 tank from 1995.
Looove the older boxy models. I dream about the day I find a clean lightning blue 850R wagon for sale
So boxy.
my first car was a V70 Executive with 350 000 km on it.
well, on the rear half.
i was the 23rd owner. it had a phone in the central arm rest, which didn’t work because some mongrel had replaced the head unit with aftermarket crap. at least the wood trim and leather seats were nice.
I have a Mirage G4. It has a five speed transmission. It does not have internet connectivity, it doesn’t have a touchscreen, it doesn’t have keyless ignition, it doesn’t even have a fourth cylinder. It’s as reliable as a hammer, it still gets me over 40 mpg, and it’s paid for.
Dream vehicle? Any motorcycle. I have one, and I ride it sometimes, but I have a family that cares I’m alive and a lot of you seem to need a phone in your face to drive a car…
I drive a Golf 4 with a check engine light and I wish I drove one without a check engine light
Tomorrow it’s going to the electrician and it would better come back fixed!!!
The check engine light is complimentary with any VW product 🤣 I love how nice the damn things are but never met one who’s dashboard didn’t look like a Christmas tree.
My golf before it finally became too much to keep up.
The brake, brake wear, blown light, and tps weren’t real, they were all bad sensors. The windshield washer fluid was low, and it had emissions issues though.
TBF, most cars do that now a days. Car brands don’t make their own ABS systems, they buy them from manufacturers like Bosh and Denso; and they all work on the “CAMBUS” standard, meaning that all sensors talk to each other over a network. Normally these systems light up an individual diagnostics light to let you know if there’s a problem detected (low brake pad / fluid indicator, parking brake, ABS light) so to differentiate when there’s a system error such as a sensor that can’t communicate it lights them all up at the same time to let you know.
For example my 06 G35 did that for a stupid brake sensor, cost me endless hours of troubleshooting to pinpoint.
I HAVE
My brother has one that squeaks and squeals from all its hinges, and often goes to the country side on crappy roads, but it has no damn check engine light
Mine is a city baby and has one, dammit
i have! the fun part is while the malfunction lights weren’t lit up, neither was anything else :D
Look at you, bragging about your working check engine light
You can disconnect the battery for a few seconds to reset that light and enjoy a clear dashboard until the issue triggers a sensor again 😜
Well for me that would be just a few hours later
Also I have a code reader but yea that works too haha
