  1. Came as a sedan too. Interior was extremely bland, not even a decent sound system. The Chevy Cobalt and Ford Focus were much better equipped.
  2. fkn A. My 2 cents, since pretty every other adjective in the English language has already been used up already. Edit: pls to be the excusing the redundancy, am slightly inebriated.
  3. +1 The Tiida is an ugly ass car, I never touched them (Nissan Versa) in the states, even when the only other car Avis had in that category was a raped Chevy Cobalt.
  4. Again, the Cygnus is more luxurious (obviously). It's the Japanese Lexus, before they unified the brand in Japan. And bugger me if I know the price, they rarely popup for sale. Even if they do, most have either been rebadged to Lexus or are modified regular Land Cruisers.
  5. Cygnus I think. Has way more bells and whistles than a same year Prado. Plus V8 power.
  6. I too like the current layout. Keep it simple like Craigslist.
  7. Anyone have an idea of what the prices are like at the 7/11 restaurant by the thalawathugoda junc?

      Not too bad. Cheapish, but not really cheap.

      cool bro :)

  8. If this is your first car, I'd suggest consulting friends and relatives who are knowledgeable on the subject, or who have regular mechanics whom they trust. If not, and you have a regular trustworthy mechanic, why not take him along?
  9. Sure why not. It's better looking than the Vitz and the Passo.
  10. Let us know what the wheels look like a week after using brasso. It's the long term effects that worry me.
  11. Don't forget the Honda Fit.
  12. Still hoping
  13. I wonder if the results would've been different had Hami kept his PP. Srsly, McLaren are futzing up more than ever. And it only happens to Hamilton. Every one of his pitstops were slower than JB's. Other than that, best F1 Season ever since... well since Villeneuve was driving for WIlliams and going head to head with a younger, more talented Schumacher (that rear ending was inexcusable machan, you should learn to drive here in SL).
  14. It was up till late afternoon. But lots of 500 errors.
  15. My favourite P&S camera (Canon SD870) is about to die. Should I attempt replacing the lens assembly ($30 on ebay)? It's a 5 year old camera but the quality of photos it takes is divine, and dare I say, even better than those taken by my brand spanking new Canon SX260 HS.

      The $30 lens isn't an original right? in that case you will lose the quality.

      @jdnet its an original replacement lens assembly, probably pulled from a parted out camera. lots of canon point and shoot built up to 2008 suffered this issue, but the camera takes such sweet pictures at the widest angle, there's no barelling or anything.

  16. Mine lock when I shift into D and unlock in P. But if I use door central lock switch to unlock/lock all the doors, then the auto function is overridden till the car is started up the next time. Why not get that done instead? Tapping contacts on the gear selector has got to be much easier than hacking into the ECU. Besides, in reply to a question I had posted elsewhere some time ago it was mentioned the window and central locking functions were controlled by the Body Control Module in the car, so you'd probably have to hack into both and create a new interface between the two.
  17. Notice how the winning driver isn't too happy about the it though.
  18. is that really a good idea with alloys? Don't they have a coating of lacquer/anti-oxidant?
  19. can't shake the feeling that theodore is someone's alter ego.

      forgive my paranoia, there's been a few unsavoury characters and their alter egos frequenting the forum as of late.

      You prolly should change your handle to "D-Bag" though... And do share with us whatever the hell you are smoking man, it seems to be some EPIC shit!

      There's no bigger fan of pop culture cliches on this forum than me, but srsly, _enough_ with the Bagwell idioms. They mostly suck.

  20. From this day forth I shall no longer participate in threads that have become feeding grounds for the trolls.

  21. Since when did diesel engines come with ignition systems? And getting back to topic, are you facing any difficulties starting without heating the engine when it's cold i.e. in the morning?. I'm pretty sure the LX models came with a regular 2C. You mentioned that it has done 125K, I believe it is time for your first rebuild. Take the vehicle to a reputed garage and get a compression test carried out.
  22. HUGE TROLL SHAPE ROCKS. you see what I did there? lolz.
  23. Avoid the Fit. 7 speed CVT is a disaster waiting to happen in the streets of SL. 110 is overpriced. Axela looks the sexiest.
