But its a new-generation Ford.

It is as bulletproof as a Camry or Accord.

so should i just save up and buy a used car?

I found a few older model cars in my price range that seem decent but every car that I look up gets mixed reviews, whether its mileage or transmission issues.
How can I decide on a good used ccar when 99% of all cars get shitty reviews?

kay, I have to go to traffic court the 23rd. I chose court because I couldn't afford my ticket.


I got a $280 ticket for going 72 in a 45. I also got a warning for launching from a red light and causing my tires to squeal.

My question is, what do I do? I've never been to court before. My only record is one other speeding ticket almost a year and a half ago. I don't have a defense because I was caught red handed speeding and hooning my car around town by the officer.

I don't have $280 to pay for a ticket. At the most I could pay $100. I don't know what to do, what to say or how court even works. Please help. I'm in Florida, duval county btw.

Go take a DMV approved driver improvement course, either through the DMV or driver education school.

Lol. I almost got caught going 132 in a 65 in my mini. But the engine blew out before they could catch me because red lining in 6th gear is great for the engine.

So you're telling me that despite all the efforts put into making cars look like soap, more pedestrians are dying when hit by cars?

>A more recent contributing factor may be the growing use of cell phones while walking, which can be a significant source of distraction for pedestrians.

Why can't we just let natural selection take over?

Op can you even read the graph? The actual deaths themselves stay the same, while the % of auto deaths increase, meaning other forms of auto deaths are decreasing.

Is there any reason not to cop? Apart from the body looking like a civic.

PLEASE HELP. Does anyone know anything about this???

So heres the situation. Long story short I know a BMW engineer in europe who I was talking with.. and he owns around 7 bmws...

As we talked more he was telling me how he got his e46 m3 with ZERO Km.. as well as half of his cars.. I asked how.. He told me that basically (this is the part I cannot believe !) BMW (in Germany) KEEP the cars they cannot sell, their test cars, and their prototypes in STORAGE.. And that they are not legally allowed to sell them and that they are basically just sit there for god knows how long until they are recycled..

ONLY BMW engineers/employees are allowed to purchase these cars with ZERO FUCKING KM.. (limited to one car a year) and the price they pay??? 4 euros per KG of weight.. thats right.. they buy the cars based on their fucking curb weight.. So a 1500kg e34 m5 in storage with zero KM would cost 6k euros.. This goes for ALL their cars in storage..

Can someone shed some light on this? Is this real life? Is that true? Are you telling me bmw employes can purchase an e30 m3 for like 5k euros that is in BMW storage with 0 km?

My uncle works at Sony and has a Playstation 5 at home. I can't show you it though.
>>
Does this apply to other car makers/factories in germany as well? (audi, mercedes etc..)

He was telling me how once he saw an old M1 thats right.. a bmw M1 in storage but that was crushed due to a lot of rust.. he told me cars like e28 m5 and e30 m3 CAN be found in storage.. but is rare.. he saw an e30 m3 evo 1 once in storage with zero KM!!!

Like I said, only certain people have this "Special VIP pass" that are allowed to purchase one bmw car per year from storage and the price is 4 euro per KG of weight...

I was shown pictures of his e46 m3 .. perfect condition. I just cant believe this, is this real life? Is this true? There has to be some catch? I know the catch is that only employees can purchase these cars and that they can only purchase one per YEAR, but is there anything else? Are most of the cars in storage in horrible shape or something?

How do they do this /o/?

Are they legit?

They must be increasing boost levels via the ECU as well, r-right?

They have more remaps available than any other tuner I've ever seen, and they seemingly are capable of increasing power by considerable levels on any car, even non-turbo.

Their stage 3 for this car requires an 'uprated' turbo so it seems that they increase boost too.

Yea it was a new one. I'm moving from an 2012 Audi S5, so it's going to be a massive change.

I've just moved 5 mins away from work and park in a packed car park, sick of coming back to lines on the side of my car where people have walked passed. and really don't have the chance to appreicate the S5 anymore, so I thought I'll try this on for size.

The new one has a much better DSG and the ride is actually pretty good.

The Honda is more advanced though, it's a hybrid supercar unlike the R8 and 911 with conventional engines. NSX customers are paying for a look into the future of the sports car.
