[LVL1-4] First self promotional train [ended]

That is a great car with superb engine.
I would love B6 myself. But S4 or RS4 edition. They are affordable to buy, but maintenance would be tad too high.

And yes, Germans seem to do a lot of things correctly. I dont have any preferences when talking about car manufacturers (I enjoy most and any car there is and try to find the good and bad in them), but I definitely see why Germans are celebrated over their engineering. Although they seem to loose their edge, I think.

We have 10 cent difference. And when you take into consideration the fuel consumption, then it comes into play a lot.. Well, to elaborate, petrol prices are rising, but diesel prices do, too. But when somewhat new diesel engine consumes half of what petrol engine consumes, it seems youre driving for free..

Agreed, classic cars are awesome :)
I would love to tackle some kind of restoration project eventually. I dont even know what is so appealing in an old, costly, unsafe and outdated piece of machinery, but it has certain charm to it.

Electric cars as such leave similar expression on me :D

I myself have driven only VW e-UP!. And I enjoyed it. Sadly we dont see a lot of Teslas in my country, them being rather expensive and we have a lack of charging stations.
Also hybrid cars are technological marvels. The more desirable ones (LaFerrari, Porsche 918, McLaren P1) are still performance cars at hearth with their "small" V12 generators. But how far electric engines have pushed technology itself is admirable.

Prices are high, no doubt about that.
In the end I resort to watching youtube videos of cars Id love to someday drive, too.
For me Project Cars and Dirt Rally have been awesome games where I can try to get the feel for performance cars or some exotics. If youve got the wheel, its a great experience.

My car had something around 300+k on the clock, too. Had some minimal oil consumption, but could live with it. But eventually broke down. Had to decide whether getting a new engine or rebuilding mine. For educational purposes choice to do the rebuild. Runs great for now, no oil consumption.

Thanks :)

Looking at new technologies being developed and manufacturers creating new improvements where we thought there would be none, is really something. For example, infiniti built and engine that can change compression ratio when driving. That solves a lot of problems that has been around for ages. Reduced wear of cylinder walls, balanced 4-cyl engines, lower emissions and fuel economy, while retaining big power figures at high loads.
koenigsegg working on their free valve system that doesnt use conventional camshafts. Reduces weight, a lot more precise fuel injection..
Even at its surface without getting into much depth engineering is magnificent and interesting

What is the work you do with cars, if its not a secret ? :)

Sorry to hear that youve had such a rough road with vehicles, but I suppose its not for everyone :)
But at least you found your comfort zone with ATVs.

Havent ridden ATV myself.. I enjoy driving bikes, too. But somehow chance to try out ATV hasnt come up.

Dude, that's god telling you not to ever drive again, in case you missed it 😂😂

My Honda burned oil, too. But cant complain about power. at least on paper it has 200 HP. But to be honest civics with their little engines perform decently because of their small weight.. Little tune up and you have yourself one powerful lightweight sports car :D

And how reliable has your VW been ? Ive seen many cases thus far with VW being really great, reliable. And also cases where its been far belove quality wise than it should be.
