What Car should I get?[views:11883][posts:91][poll! to vote:click here] to view:click here] ______________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 9:53am - the_reverend ""] so.. my current car is making a lot of bad noises and has over 223,000 miles on it... so I need to start looking for a new car. I need THE MOST gas mileage for the $$. these are the current two cars that i'm looking at (no, I will not buy your used ford explorer). civic-hybrid gets 51 mpg (hiway) toyota carolla gets 41 mpg (hiway) I know actual gas dollar-wise I would never make back the $6K, but I would sort of feel like I'm investing on the future of a technology (like all the computers I bought in the pass laid the capitol for current companies to make cheaper/faster computers), but then again.. it's $6K, financed over x years. |

| _______________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 10:02am - the_reverend ""] when ever I see some on with a truck, I always think "man, they must have a small penis" especially if that truck is huge like dyingmuse's |

| ____________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 10:06am - dreadkill ""] my penis is pretty normal. i bought my first truck off my dad for an unbeatable price when i got my license, and i've never really felt comfortable driving anything other than a truck. i hate the shitty gas mileage they get. |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 10:09am - the_reverend ""] I drove my dad's trucks (they were always huge).. but I never got use to them. I also drove my mom's jeep, but I was always more comfortable with compact cars. PS: didn't you know that listing dick length is a pre-req for the RTTP comp? you obviously didn't read the contract. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 10:13am - dreadkill ""] i just signed the contract and sent it off. i hope he still puts my band on it without having our dick lengths listed. i think i may have wrote in the girths for the hell of it though. |

Dan will love that. his truck comes in handy when we play shows, because we can fit sooo much equipment in it (and yeah, there's ALOT of it with 7 members) |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 10:22am - DaveFromTheGrave ""] I'd go with the civic just because the corolla is ugly. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 10:23am - ~carina ""] what about when you drive my truck? so far i can get the honda hybrid for 3% over factory invoice and i have it in writing, so if we bring that to a dealer...they\'d have to beat it umm anyone comment on this \"deal\"? |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 10:26am - the_reverend ""] since I have no clue what "factory invoice" is.... |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 10:27am - ~carina ""] whenever you get a quote you always see the factory invoice... ok deal for toyota is: Dealer Discount: $799 BELOW FACTORY INVOICE |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 10:27am - the_reverend ""] ps: I drive 33-40,000 miles a year. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 10:28am - Christraper ""] get a jaguar....or a toyota because thats a bit more realistic and they last forever. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 10:29am - DreamingInExile ""] normally I'd say the civic, but I hate the Hybrids. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 5:57pm - BornSoVile ""] i voted civic-hybrid. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 6:51pm - Scoracrasia ""] get a regular civic. I have had mine for 10 years and the fucker is still going. Bought it brand new. Good little cars. Nothing ever wrong with it besides getting general mantainance/ and new exhaust. it has paid for itself, but it's your call. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 6:55pm - diahrea tsunami ""] get a viper, so you can get there faster |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 9:43pm - DEATH2ALL ""] Get a Dodge Ram w/ a Hemi... Mine gets 3mpg, but the gallon is gone in 2 minutes!! |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 9:48pm - DEATH2ALL ""] no seriously, if you get a hybrid you'll need 1 of those stickers that says "eat my voltage"..... The Toyota is the way to go! |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 10:17pm - the_reverend ""] I might not even be able to get the civic... they don't have them anywhere. might be stuck with the carolla. |

| ___________________________________ [Mar 18,2005 10:41pm - powerkok ""] I have a 94 corrolla 135000 on it and its just now starting to break. Ive gotten 8 years of driving outta it, and itll go another 100k im sure. |

| ________________________________________ [Mar 19,2005 1:34am - JonahBloodbath ""] get the fucking hybrid. save the whales and shit. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 19,2005 1:35am - JonahBloodbath ""] oh, and try and find one used. the last thing this planet needs is new cars. |
| ________________________________________________ [Mar 19,2005 2:39am - humanbonedeathmachine ""] hybrids are dumb. id hate to be sitting on that much battery when it explodes. a normal car batt sounds like a gunshot when they blow up so i could only imagine. i want one of these: [img] |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 19,2005 3:10am - thegreatspaldino ""] toyota...there are a lot more on the road therefore partsare a hell of a lot cheaper...not to mention the $5.5K you would save initially... also... how big is the gas tank on the civic and how big is the gas tank in the toyota? im sure the civic's gas tank is tiny therefore nullifying the mpg advantage. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 19,2005 9:05am - the_reverend ""] toyota = 440 miles/tank civic = 630+ miles/tank |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 19,2005 9:08am - the_reverend ""] oh and the battery is in the trunk, on top of the gas tank. I can see why you would be worried about an explosion. I mean, it's not like there is anything in the vecinity of the gastank that has the potiential to explode. just ask the fiat. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 19,2005 9:36am - DEATH2ALL ""] there's a waiting list for Hybrids |

| ___________________________________ [Mar 19,2005 12:15pm - succubus ""] hahahahahaha |
| ________________________________________________ [Mar 19,2005 12:17pm - dneirflrigruoydeliani ""] :NEWHORNS: i had to |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 19,2005 12:20pm - the_reverend ""] every person I tell I want to get a new car tells me that their sister's selling a Ford Explorer with low miles "18 mpg too, that's pretty good!". I would look into getting a deisel WV since I really like the technology AND it gets 500 miles to a tank (I hate stopping for gas), but you either have to be in a sorority or a gay dude to buy one of those. |

| _____________________________________________ [Mar 19,2005 12:23pm - Radical_Dirt_Biker ""] the hell with any stupid car buy a dirt bike and come tear with us. thats why we have moms dUde to give us rides and that saves way more money on gas than any stupid hybrid car. |

| _____________________________________ [Apr 6,2005 1:07pm - the_reverend ""] I just test drove a civic and a civic hybrid. the monthly cost of the civic hybrid is A LOT... with insurance, I'm looking at over $400/mo. but it's a "sweet ride" doods. I can't find any carollas to drive... but I'm going to stop at saturn to see what they have. carina and I are going back to the honda place tonight. |
