Your first car, what’s it going to be?

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

I really don’t know. I do know that I will be learning on the Leaf though.

I have ideas on what cars I would like though.

Alex B > RallyWrench 08/26/2015 at 20:21

About 25 mph.

No Monty Python, huh? Shame. You should rectify that deficiency.

Alex B > jkm7680 08/26/2015 at 20:26

Volvo C30, S40, V50. 2005 Toyota Rav 4 (odd story how I came to like that), nothing else as of right now.

jkm7680 > Alex B 08/26/2015 at 20:27

That’s a good list.

I wouldn’t really recommend the Rav 4 though, it’s a bit dull.

Haha, my English teacher last year was a big Monty Python fan, so we did watch some.

Now to more important stuff - what’s your favorite performance sedan?

Alex B > jkm7680 08/26/2015 at 20:32

I want to try and stay away from VAG. I do realize that your late (?) A4 was quite reliable, but for a first car I wouldn’t want to take the chance.

You’re probably right.

DoYouEvenShift > Alex B 08/26/2015 at 20:32

DD, track, burn.

There really isn’t much chance to take if you find a well taken care of example, but I guess that makes sense to an extent.

Alex B > DoYouEvenShift 08/26/2015 at 20:35

Burn the pink mustang.

Track the old car (sorry, don’t know what it is)

DD the Corolla.

Alex B > MLGCarGuy 08/26/2015 at 20:38

Any size class? That’s a tough question...

Probably the Audi S7 for everyday usability + looks.

Not a solid answer though.

DoYouEvenShift > Alex B 08/26/2015 at 20:40

0

Noooo!

The correct answer is.

Burn the Corolla

Track the Mustang

And DD the Bearcat

Well, my Dad disapproves of Audi as he had an awful experience with one in college so he probably wouldn’t allow it if he were pay for it.

However once I am older and out on my own I will purchase an Audi and prove that they have improved.

Alex B > DoYouEvenShift 08/26/2015 at 20:42

Hm well I’m not sure I could comfortably fit in the Mustang so why should I keep it around if I can’t use it?

jkm7680 > Alex B 08/26/2015 at 20:42

0

What kind of Audi was it?

I personally think that if you get the right one, it’ll be a good car. If you get the wrong one it’ll be something besides a good car, I’d only recommend newer ones and only older ones as first cars to people that actually care about cars to the extent that they can take good care of them.

DoYouEvenShift > Alex B 08/26/2015 at 20:46

Not a Leaf!!!

Go on Craigslist, buy the cheapest, shittiest car you can find with a manual.

Becaus Power Wheels racing is a thing, and it looks hilariously fun.

Alex B > jkm7680 08/26/2015 at 20:50

I believe it was a C3 5000.

Of course. I think finding one that is enthusiast owned is probably the safest bet (just like the allroad you posted a few days a go).

Alex B > DoYouEvenShift 08/26/2015 at 20:51

0

hahaha, really? How do they operate the pedals? With their hands?

jkm7680 > Alex B 08/26/2015 at 20:52

0

Never was a huge fan of those, can’t say I know too much about them.

Enthusiast cars are the way to go though, well constructed ads are also upsides.

The car that I just bought, seemed to have been owned by an older gentleman who was an enthusiast, but not the kind that installs chips and stances cars.

DoYouEvenShift > Alex B 08/26/2015 at 20:54

I think they modify them for hand controls.

That is awesome - never met anybody that learned to drive on an electric car. You are the future, dude.

Alex B > wafflesnfalafel 08/26/2015 at 21:06

Well, in March I will be able to drive it as that is when I can get my permit. :-)

My older brother learned to drive on the Leaf. He has yet to drive an internal combustion engine car, but he’s pretty busy with college so he hasn’t had a reason to need to yet.

Not sure really. They would have to to be competitive. Ive only seen it once on tv.

If you’re a guy and you swing the other way, you probably should avoid VAG.

Otherwise, VAG is good.

Well I’m not of age to be drinking beer so I felt I was not a part of the target audience. I did read it now though. It seems like it makes the drink so much bulkier. Does this negatively impact the drinking experience?

Funktheduck > Alex B 08/26/2015 at 21:40

1

It does not. Possibly if you're very drunk or super hopped up on sugar from too much Mountain Dew. Big hand folk may find it more pleasant.

I go every year (and twice last year). I even saw DeMuro there last time. There aren't any new reveals or anything, but you can sit in just about any new car on the market.

That’s pretty cool you got to see Doug! I was in Philly on Sunday touring around Drexel with my older brother (he goes there) and family. Maybe I could have arranged to meet Doug, but it would not have been coherent with my other family members plans.

Van Man, rocks the Man Van > Alex B 08/26/2015 at 22:16

I've seen Doug at multiple car events in the Philly area, and got to talk to him for a few minutes and sit in his GT-R a few months ago at a car show.

To be honest, I don't like the aggressive added on vents... It takes away from the smoothness of the design for me.

I don’t think I am Oppo famous! Haha I think it’s the nature of the post. AMAs generally attract lots of comments. Also, the time that you post has to do (generally) with how many replies you’ll get.

The topic of the post has to do with it also. For example: I posted this http://oppositelock.kinja.com/mrw-a-friend-s… and it got 124 comments. I was not expecting that. At all.
