The car thread 2.

Apparently I have no credit history in Canada and the credit company needs every piece of information I have to approve me.
Paying my own way through two degrees and graduating with no debt was a bad idea it seems.

Crosstrek is getting further and further away...

That’ll teach you for being responsible

All good now, just waiting on the car to arrive in the country, so another 3-4 weeks.
...Then I just have to sort out insurance, parking, etc.

Probably already known but July 2019, electric cars get noisy

Funny you should post that as a hybrid caught me and my partner out at the weekend. We were walking along our street which is fairly quiet when someone pull out out their driveway in a new Hyundai hybrid and they weren’t looking.

They have a solid driveway so this car was literally like it wasn’t on at all, not to mention a hidden entrance by conifers.

Only reason I stoped us in time is my great reflexes, otherwise the driver would of hit us.

I've nearly been taken down by buses silently swishing along at low speeds on a lot of occasions. Glad to hear they are adding engine sound effects, I honestly think it'll be very helpful for pedestrians.

That last sentence instantly reminded me of the guy who jumped over a moving car

Eeeeeeeeeeeer NO. JUST NO.

Found this cool derelict garage while out for a drive today, really wanted to get inside the gate and get some cool photos but had to settle for one outside. Looks like I could be in the US, not Loch Earn in Scotland!

Stop wasting our time with these boring Aston martin pics Colin and get on with the Mustang purchase

[Colin]

Sorry bud, there'll be no Mustang for about another 12 months. They're dropping heavily in price right now, most likely due to the facelift coming out soon, so not the right time to buy.

[fishbowlhead]

Fair enough no point wasting money eh.

[Neon Ignition]

If I ever got one I'd be going all the way back to the 2008/2012 models. Really enjoy driving them when I'm in the US but each revision they do chips away at the cars visual appeal.

Picking up my Crosstrek on Monday
Now I just need some douchy sunglasses and an instagram account and I'm all set for new car selfies.
