Which Sports Car Are You? (Wheels Talk Post)

Which Sports Car Are You? (Wheels Talk Post)

In the market for a new car (Blog Entry by MarineGunrock)

Farhad2000 says...

For Youngish Thrills - Honda Civic Type R

For Familial Thrills - Ford Mondeo

For SUV - Nissan Qashqai

By the way I think all the cars I mentioned are awful and ugly looking. But they are great.

If you rob someone rich then get a Ferrari 430 Scuderia. For the price they are asking they should throw in that fit girl as well.

In the market for a new car (Blog Entry by MarineGunrock)

swampgirl says...

Forget horsepower, think gas mileage! My husband bought a Nissan Titan a year ago. (cause we were in the south and he wanted a MAN's truck ) That thing always hurt my feelings at the gas pump.

I drive a Nissan Versa (the hatchback instead of the sedan...in red, my fav color of course) and I L-O-V-E it! It's small yes but, it gets GREAT gas mileage and it has a very polite monthly car payment. For an econo car it looks quite smart too. There's not a lot of bells and whistles in it, but the interior is comfortable and tall people comment on how comfortable it is for a small car. One tiny con: It only has one charger. Even the most basic cars need 2 now days. Other than that though, its all gravy.. I couldn't be happier with it.

My husband drives an hour one way to work daily..and that's distance, not traffic. The other day I filled his truck up for him...( He was using my car again for work to save gas, go figure! ) Well, it wasn't on empty yet... about a 1/4 was left and I paid 86 bucks!! I wonder how much would have been if it were on empty! When the kids and I aren't out so much, he drives my car and I'm stuck w/ the manly truck! You know after a year I still can't park the damned thing straight...

Men, think practical..think gas mileage and low car payment!

The First Japanese Supercar? Nissan GTR- Jay Leno's Garage.

rottenseed says...

>> ^JAPR:
over 10 is long


That's what she said.


I'd consider the twin turbo Toyota Supra mark IV a Japanese supercar at least production-wise. The cool thing about the older Toyotas and Nissans are the potential they have for added horsepower. This dude that lived down the road from me a few years back with too much time and money on his hands (yes that's jealousy you detect) built a 1000hp supra. He had a couple others beefed up too.

But that was back when street racing and techno was cool. Now we've gotta conserve gas and listen to Phish.

Datsun presents Black Gold

I used to do work for Nissan years back, so I'd get all these tapes of their classic commercials to go over, and this one was my favorite. It's brought me heaping bucketfuls of joy. *Promote again, siftie!

The First Video Game Easter Egg

blankfist says...

I remember that dot! Wow, and after nearly thirty years I finally understand what it was for. Not being credited is accepted practice with programmers. Though, once I coded and authored a CD-Rom for Nissan's SER (Master of the Sixth Speed - the QT from the CD, created by MTV Animation), and if you quite the CD you're met with a closing screen. If you CTRL+Click the copyright symbol I believe (and maybe hold C down or something as well - it's been so long since I coded it), then you get a credits screen I put in there!

Otherwise I'd get no credit for all my sleepless nights!

Eyes Wide Shut teaser

berticus says...

Where's the line? Nudity? Sexual gratification / titillation? Is that subjective? What is it that sends something over the edge into unacceptable? Context? Consider this and this and this and this and this and this. I would say at least 3 of those are for sexual gratification, some include comedy, and maybe other arguable merits (artistry, or whatever). Are they acceptable because they don't show nudity? What is it? What's instantly dismissable? Just clips from "adult movies"? I'm confused.

Star Wars - The Battle of Yavin

Memorare says...

@blankfist: make digital backups of those original tapes!

I remember seeing the midnight opening of this, then after the movie driving home in my clunky nissan wagon, weaving and swerving over all 6 lanes of the empty freeway pretending i was piloting the Millenium Falcon! Glorious!

The Happy New Year Thread (Sift Talk Post)

Honda CRX Blows Away Lamborghini

conan says...

That is clearly a Murciélago. 100% sure.

I would upvote just for the Murciélago, but somehow i don't trust this video. Either it is staged or the Lambo is not going full throttle. The CRX just hasn't the space to fit in a 6- or 8cyl, so it has to be a 4cyl. The Murciélago sports a 580-640hp 12cyl (depending on specific model). So even IF this guy tuned his CRX to more than 500bhp (NOS anyone?) i'm pretty sure he had to spent more than the guy who bought the Lamborghini and if that would be the case i'm also pretty sure his car would be in a WAY better condition.

As i see things except for professionaly tuned cars built from scratch (such as the 1000bhp Nissan Skyline GT-R that can be found on youtube) that cost hundred thousands of dollars it's just not possible that a small, frontwheeled 4cyl performs better than a Murciélago.

And btw:

The Murciélago is not a car they redesigned. Germany's Audi bought Lamborghini some years ago, back when they nearly went bancrupt. The Murciélago being the first car built with German technology and know-how (it's equipped with several Audi parts, even on the inside). Both the 12cyl Murciélago and it's "little" 10cyl brother Gallardo have since then been a huge success and Lamborghini at the moment is more successfull than they have ever been.

People who have destroyed more money then you'll ever have.

Doc_M says...

They are FINALLY releasing the Skyline GT in the US and I. MUST. HAVE. ONE. ... someday that is, $80,000, but hey 450hp AWD!!!
http://www.caranddriver.com/carnews/11023/spied-2009-nissan-skyline-gt-r.html

I've been waiting for them to release this car in the US for 8 years. Too bad it's so dang expensive.

Went 105 (dats 170kph!) in my Golf, omnistegan, felt great. I think I coulda pushed it to 120-130 (modded it a bit in college), but my cop-free stretch of deserted straight highway ran out before I could find out. Anyway, at about 95, it feels like it's a little too fast for a car like that. Starts to glide a little too much. It was safe where I did it and I'm a good driver, but still, any speed over 100 is really starting to get crazy. Haven't tested my Lancer with that yet, guess i fear for my license.

lol, should I be admitting I went that fast in writing? um, I was um, on private property, yeah, that's the ticket, private highway property... on an Indian reservation...

How Chimp Chromosome #13 Proves Evolution

"'To Beg The Question' means using what you are trying to prove. Not making you want to ask the question."

noted...fixed my comment. Guess I need more sleep...and to think I was just chastising a 12-year-old on Youtube for bad spelling and grammar.

Scientific Fact...don't get me started. You can find clues, you can find evidence, you can't find fact. If you weren't there to witness something happening, it cannot be claimed as fact. Before you argue "with such reasoning, one wouldn't be able to prove anything that happened before, say 1900, since no one (very few) are alive that were alive before then.", let me counter with this. People were there, and they wrote it down. Many people witnessed many things. The important things were written down, painted, photographed, etc., and correlated by others.

Yes, it's a fact that scientists have found this connection. And it supports the THEORY. But it also supports theory that God is like Nissan.

There is evidence to support a young universe as well as an old one. Halos in granite come to mind: http://www.halos.com/. As well as moon dust. Scientists calculated that the moon was so covered with dust, that the astronauts should have sank when they landed...but they didn't. The perceived amount of collected dust supports a MUCH younger moon. I doubt solar wind and even most meteor impacts could create enough force to "blow it away."

I'm not saying that evolution and the related theories (big bang, 10 billion year old universe, etc.) are philosophical beliefs...I hold the position that, though often people are both, supporting intelligent design doesn't make you Christian. /////edit, just realized I didn't finish my thought...Intelligent Design is just another theory.

nice video of the bicycle Continuous Variable Transmission

Throbbin says...

I may be wrong, but I think these CVT's are already being used in cars. The Nissan Murano - or the "truck with an ass" as my wife puts it - uses a CVT transmission system.

How Chimp Chromosome #13 Proves Evolution

ronin165 says...

I've got an answer from the ID side of things...VQ35DE. That's the engine code that Nissan used for an engine that has been put in pretty much half or more of all of their cars (Altima, Maxima, Quest, 350Z, Murano, etc). God is like Nissan. Why create something from scratch when you've got a lot of the most important parts right there? Tweak this, tweak that, fuse these two do-hickies together, and ShaZAM!! There are strong sides to both, but I ask, what do I lose from believing in ID? It's retarded to say that believing in ID means that we wouldn't have all the medical break-throughs. Just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean I don't think that willing cadavers (when they weren't dead yet) should be cut up and examined. We are told to be fruitful...that includes learning. You believe in your theory, I'll believe in mine.
