Hey thanks ownage! The frogeye grows on you. Thanks for the link!
I have a lame flash site I made for my restoration and it hasn't been updated in a while. More on my sprite over there. www.frogeyesprite.org . I really need to make a new site.
a lot of seriously bad ass cars here, I'm feeling all inadequate now! put new wheels and eibach springs on the car, looking a lot better now! though partially regretting not going straight to coilovers..
next step is larger brakes and axel spacers to bring the rear wheels in line with the front ones. if all goes well and I earn my money this summer, car's getting a 2.0L turbo engine drop! the car seems to have taken over most of my finances....
In short, both AMD and NVIDIA discovered that their next-generation graphics cards are superior to each others' last-generation graphics cards.

Since I haven't chimed into this section of the forum in quite some time, I just wanted to let you guys know I sold off my Sprint Blue 2007 Audi A4 and bought a 2010 A4 in Meteor Gray Pearl Effect with the Prestige package, 19" Sport Package, 15 speaker Bang & Olfson sound system, 2.0 Turbo w/6-spd, Quattro AWD, black leather interior. Pretty much fully loaded minus the auto-trans and drive adaptive suspension system (since i'm going to lower this car soon).
I just ran out to take a couple pics. I definitely should have used my tripod, lower ISO, and F2.8 lens (and no flash).
And if anyone is interested. I posted this video over in the news section in a thread about how Audi has teamed up with nVidia to power their Multi-Media Interface (MMI). It's an amazing system and BY FAR the best found in any production line of cars. Especially next year when my NAV system gets upgraded with 100% google earth topography. They've been showing it off in Germany and it's amazing.
This video is my current MMI system. http://www.kalionzes.net/video/Audi_mmi.mkv (112mb)
Here is what the navigation portion will look like sometime later this year with the update.

Also I have a question and didnt want to start a thread just for it. My sister just got stationed in Italy and they are looking at getting a used car instead of drivng hers everywhere cause she says its to new to haha.
How good are Opel cars? She is looking at a 99 Opel Vistra I believe it is called that?

I have posted my truck before but I like these pics better due to being clean. Its a 2005 Ford F250 Diesel. This is my 2nd truck I ever bought my first was a 1993 F150 that Im giving my son for graduation. Oh by the way it is still running with over 200,000 miles on it and has never had any work done to it besides fluid changes. It does how ever needs a paint job due to waxing it to much.

It has the straight six in it. Has automatic transmission with overdrive. I wanted it to have that due to pulling trailers.

Awesome, my 5speed is good for pulling trailers, but you dont have to worry about burning your clutch up with an automatic. The 4.9L (300ci) straight 6 is a legendary engine, an epic torque motor. How many miles it have? Them things go forever.

93 F150 has 298,564 miles on it. The 2005 F250 has 213,396 miles on it. Have you had problems with the 4x4 transfer case? People have told me the transfer case has some problems with the gearing inside which causes chewing of the gears. What I said earlier I love that T-Bird old and new. Also love the mustang.

Opel's reliable? Tell me you're joking
As for this case, from the '93-'00 they were in theirs dark age. Some of the worst engines in Opel's history were produced in that time. Those cars also had a chassis prone to rust in almost no time. Gearboxes also prone to malfunctions. At say 230,000km it needs to be completely repacked or it falls apart if the 5-speed F18 gearbox is being used, the one which has R next to the first gear.
In Germany they have a saying, this is literal translation: "Germans driving Opel are the ones who can't afford a real German car, but must say they are driving one".
Good part is that the replacement parts are relatively cheap and widely available.
I drive Astra 2002. But as opposed to Vectra in case, mine has 1.7 Isuzu diesel engine since both Isuzu and Opel are parts of GM group.
Oh, this was great. At the moment my dad was still using this car, 3 days after warranty expiration, turbo broke apart on the highway. 3000€ total repair costs with labor and transportation to the nearest repair shop.
3 months ago I was on trip, don't know how you Americans call it, the part which produces electricity after the engine has been started(dynamo?) broke down. 150€ repair in total. They are installing both Bosch and Delco parts, but latter is a piece of junk.
Very reliable
But as I love mine because it is relatively cheap to maintain and has very low gas consumption.

Don't laugh too much at my poor little Corolla (I was given it so can't complain about a free car to get from A to B)
The main reason why I still have it is I take it on roads like the one below (If you can actually call it a road!). That particular road is about 150 km with a recommended time of 3 hours (Te Urewera National Park)
This is of the road to my Favorite Fishing spot (only 50 km of dirt road)
I know I should get myself a Four Wheel Drive, but the little indestructible Corolla seems to be able to go anywhere!
