95 mpg

[afmotorsports]

Horse always has a pretty entertaining style...

Who the fuck is this character? "Entertaining" is probably not the adjective I would chose, but then again you're about 1000 times more pc than I am...

Glad you like the Volt. Ev's fiance just got one, pretty funny seeing their driveway with a Prius and a Volt while nothing in my driveway gets better than 20mpg (the 7-series V12 I got from you is ironically the most fuel efficient vehicle we own! )

Who gives a flying fuck about what anybody else drives? I've dealt with quite a few high net worth clients and many of them wear t-shirts, shorts and flip flops when they pull up in some beater car because that's what they're comfortable in. Mostly broke-ass real estate agents dress perfect and lease expensive cars to try to present a (false) image! I used to care about the cars I drove, now I care mostly where they can take me... which is why my favorite is the lifted Wrangler my wife keeps bugging me to sell. It's a horrible, unsafe, slow POS but it gets me to some of the most amazing places. I wouldn't trade it for a Volt, a Vette or an AMG but that's just my preference, you guys just pick the cars that make you happy. Life is short, who the hell cares what others think, drive what makes you happy, you don't need to justify your choices to any other jackass out there!

Who knew that high gas mileage could turn into a dick slinging affair? I need a shot of testosterone just to read this thread, anymore.

 

[Tharkûn]

I just saw an SLS convertible, I think Horse was driving it

 

[Phaedrus]

You didn't call me out on squat. Exactly what did I make up? Most Vettes are slow as fuck. Only some of the newer ones have get up and go.

They are pieces of shit, I should know, I've owned two. An older one and a newer one. After a while I fucking hated those cars. Uncomfortable, felt like I was sitting on the floor. Rattled with every bump. Felt like it was going to fall apart. Just because you have a different opinion, doesn't make you right.






What is wrong with leased? Its a business write off, everyone does it. You need to get a clue.

Bro, do you even lift?

 

[Horse]

Just bring those bikes to the track and we'll race those for stakes too...I'll even give you the entire day to put down your fastest lap! Now, how's that not fair...and, if you win, I'll even throw in the Curtain pants (which can only be worn by someone with big balls)!

I mean a real alpha...well he wins at everything, right? Remind me of what kind of bike's I'm taking home to the Shire? Kinda wished I remembered meeting you...but I can't even come close...maybe if you'd been with the E63 or something? I'll be sure to remember you the next time if you introduce yourself as "HORSE" and don't stand meekly on the sidelines...shit, I'd have remembered you the first time if you'd not been such a shy guy in person! Tapestry pants aren't for the shy guy...BALLS!

FWIW: a 1/10th may not seem like a lot (although it's greater than that), but that's what it takes to lose...and to a real man, that means your ride. So it isn't just some fuzzy "around that number" when there's really something at stake which, once again, is big balls. Certainly a huge dick and little balls would look a bit odd I suppose...so where's that leave ya?

Maybe you care who is faster than who by tenths of a second. I don't have time for those silly games and really don't care. I like to spend my free time doing stuff slow. Slow sex for example is the best. Or taking my time enjoying good food and drink at a nice place.

You can be the "Alpha" or whatever floats your boat.

It isn't about Merc's vs. Chevy. It's rather simple actually. You made shit up. Got called on it. Rather than man-up, you shift your roll into another gear.

Wow! Still pissed off even after I apologized for my generalization.

Its ok man, we know. We know...

You got the fastest car! Didn't mean to take that away from you.

Corvettes are the best!

Chevys are the best!

Ehampster is the best!

There, do you feel much better now?

Who the fuck is this character? "Entertaining" is probably not the adjective I would chose, but then again you're about 1000 times more pc than I am...

Who gives a flying fuck about what anybody else drives?

Not a character, I'm a real life person.

No one gives a flying fuck what anyone else drives, especially me. But everyone judges others on how they present themselves.

Are you saying this isn't true?

 

[mercurial]

Oh snap Berto! I know what Horse means about that slow sex stuff, it's the shit!! And he probably does it all the time! That shit is so much more alpha than your race challenge.

 

[tzrider]

I'm not sure how we got from your first post in this thread:

I thought the Volt was a chicks car?

I had a good laugh because my friend had to buy one for his wife. (she "wants to save the world") Now she wants him to get one, because his car spends too much gas. I told my buddy, he may as well cut off his nuts and hand them to her.

Overpaying for a piece of crap car, just so you can save a little at the pump? Makes no sense. How can you drive such a ugly slow bad handling car and actually brag about liking it? Its like bragging about banging a fat ugly chick. So what if she is nice, and can cook. You still have to get in her every day.

Never mind the 240v charger. That car should come with clown pants, shoes and nose.


My car gets about 12mpg, yet puts a HUGE smile on my face whenever I get inside and drive the shit out of it. Its one of my biggest pleasures in life. Definitely worth the gas money and then some.

Next you guys will be bragging about neutered motorcycles that get 200mpg. Fuck that noise.

Oh snap mercurial! Racing is a way to impress girls! (or guys if that is your thing) But what if you already have enough girls?

Lets face it. Everything we do is to get hot sweaty sex. Unless you are one of those weird people. Or married.

I'm divorced brotha. It's all about the sex now. You got any sweet tips?

I'm not sure how we got from your first post in this thread:



...to this:

Alright you caught me. I hate these slow ass electric hybrids that clog up the fast lanes. Especially when their batteries are low. Or person is driving 50mph trying to save 3mpg.

Get out of my fucking way cheap old man! I got somewhere to be! Does that thing even have a gas pedal? There should be a law to make you guys stay in the slow lane. Save your fucking gas there.

I thought you didn't drive in traffic?

 

[Horse]

I thought you didn't drive in traffic?

Reading comprehension isn't your strong point I see. If they are doing 50 and that is way too slow, its obviously not stop and go traffic. Which I avoid like the plague.

At least in the back roads, I can quickly power around them and get to see the shocked look on their faces.

Commute traffic is a poor/dumb persons problem. No way I would waste time sitting in traffic. There is no traffic in the hills where I work and live. But even so, much rather be sitting in the comfort of my Mercedes. Than in some ugly shit box that screams: "I'm a emo cheapskate."

Ever hear, you are what you wear? Well, you are what you drive too. The car a person drives, says a lot about a person.

And consistency isn't yours.

So which one is it, sweetheart? Sort of contradicting yourself, aren't you?? You're pretty much full of shit, the whole macho shtick is quite transparent.

Lets face it. Everything we do is to get hot sweaty sex. Unless you are one of those weird people. Or married.

How old are you? Seriously, most of us outgrew that stage back in college, are you one of those desperate, pathetic old men who walk into bars trying to pick up other desperate, pathetic women by throwing the fancy car keys on the counter? Or is it presumptuous to assume that it's always women? From my experience, at least 50% of the guys who were always bragging about their sexual escapades turned out to ultimately prefer smokin' pole... not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just an observation about the guys who are trying just a little too hard to provide (unsolicited) details about their conquests.

 

[TheRobSJ]

Sooooo um yeah. We went from Horse coming in swinging his e-peen around with this...

Ever hear, you are what you wear? Well, you are what you drive too. The car a person drives, says a lot about a person.

...to him back peddling worse than a right wing politician that got caught with a gay prostitute...

Funny thread is funny.

 

[louemc]

Well this thread has turned me on, with the drama.

Now I'm thinking Ford C-Max plug in...or an Electric bike, for my short hop to town for breakfast.

The Ford C-max would be a wiser choice, over all....And I will be new car shopping soon.


PS..Just did a google search of reports on the various Hybrids (not the manufactures hype).

Good lord, it's disgusting, so far. I'll be keeping the Honda CRV for quit a while.

FYI, Ford is in hot water for fudging its C-Max Hybrid EPA rating (47 MPG city /47 MPG highway), where owners, Consumer Reports and heavy weight and poor aero specs suggest ~38-41 MPG. 47/ 47 MPG would of put the C-Max in Prius territory (51/48 MPG EPA). Fueleconomy.gov has 63 C-Max owners enter there MPG at 39 MPG. Prius is at 50.0 MPG from owners.


Turns out EPA does not test every car and that is why Kia and Hyundai are in deep doo-doo:

Hyundai and Kia set aside $412 million for false mileage claims

The EPA does not test every car because it would take a lot of $$$, so it just spot checks. If you dive deeper into the matter, it looks like EPA could of defined there test procedures, but it is highly likely that manufactures are going to be bias when they do there own test and through out data that they dont like. "I like these numbers with the tail wind"

The Ford C-Max does have a Plug-in Version, C-Max Energi, which competes with the Volt, but its battery takes up vital cargo room and I would never get it based on that.

That's what I was finding out in my Google (or Bing) search.

The cars are a nightmare of mis-representation.
