(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I've noticed a lot of you guys here are very much into cars, but the threads where we get good discussions going always get closed; under the terms of "already posted." Well, I am your savior. Here is the thread where we can discuss anything that is related to cars. Things may include but are not limited to: your new ride, a dream car, a picture of a car you recently saw, advice on a car purchase or modification, a new upcoming car, a memory with a car, or just maybe a cool picture of a car you found. I imagine this could be a pretty active thread, as I see myself coming to post in it often.

I will report any and all flames. Let's just respect each other and different ideas.

Have at it! Smile

Engines are more boring over here, starting at 2.0 Litre Petrol. As cars are so expensive to run, they offer smaller engines. Heres a screen of the Mercedes website for the E-Cab Engines [ATTACH=CONFIG]12011[/ATTACH]
So, yeah. The engines are bigger in America, why I love going there 2-3 Times a year ;-)
Anyway, my dads has just over 200BHP, its a 2.1 Turbo I think. You can see the others in the photo :y:

It'll probably be governed to 155, but I don't think I'd wanna go faster than that in a 2 ton sedan. :P I can tell many cars with just little pieces of view... True gearhead. Cool Man (aka Tustin)


My grandfather got it faster than that... :shh:

Same here, My dad bought a little Ford KA 10 years ago just to drive to the station and back everyday, little things only got 10k miles on it :L
He kept it for my older brother to have as his 1st car, but he hasnt learnt to drive. My sister is so it looks like its going to her.

I know, my dad always said that, its too big or too powerful. And to learn to drive in an $80k merc is certainly not a good idea :L
