What car do you drive ?

[boganbusman]

about #80s not being big... try to park one... with the rear vision of a lambo (non existent), but long.

I've parked a lot of different cars, and 380s aren't too bad. You should try a 7th gen Celica The length doesn't really matter, it's just the rearward vision that you need to have (as you mentioned).

are reverse sensors worthwhile? or is it just being careful that's the best thing... mum hit it on a pole, so we goty the boot re sprayed.

[boganbusman]

Personally, I think that sensors are useless. If you actually want to use them you have to go really sloooowww . . .
Cameras are a bit better, and a good idea if you have a 4WD or something big like that.

So yes, being careful is the always the best thing. What I like to do is quickly survey the surrounding area for anything that I might hit and try to remember where they are, BEFORE I move the car in. And as a result, I've never had a parking bingle.

[baumaxx1]

Ok. About cameras, you can't see the bumper though eh?

[chimpzrl]

Haha, even Magnas aren't that big. Fairlanes ans Statesmans are large-ish, but nothing compares to what you can find in the States. Or even in Europe . . . have you ever seen a Porsche Cayenne in person? MASSIVE One came into our shop the other day and it would hardly fit onto the hoist!

There aren't words to describe the way I feel right now.

The Porsche Cayenne is not much bigger than my SUV, and mine is considered small. We have an SUV called the Chevrolet Suburban that had an 11 foot wheelbase, an 18 foot overall length, and a total width of over 6 feet.
MASSIVE . It's a small house on wheels!

Note: I just noticed where it says they were built.

Built In: Mexico, USA

America is a very different place .

EDIT:
I just noted that the company work truck that I drive regularly is based on the same platform . I sometimes have to parallel park it with a trailer.

Parking sensors and camera's are a complet waste of time, i manage just fine as all the trucks/vans at work obviously dont have em and have no interior mirror so you just have 2 allow a bit more behind, try reversing a 23tonne truck onto a loading bay the same width at the box on the back and youll be able 2 reverse a car to within inches of a wall without hitting it in no time

Never mind, please go back to your regularly scheduled, JDM rice fest.

[boganbusman]

I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.

[Zero260]

That's not nice, bogan... Did you notice the sweet flamejob on the fender? A true hotrod.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Hueg car is hueg!

[Sting Ray]

See above post.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Oh God...

Mexican rice.

[ImJ]

lol?!, Is the yellow one meant to be a taxi xD

[Grez~Supra_RZ-S]

Hey come on now, play nice. People are allowed their own opinions even if they are hideously wrong.

[Koenigsegg_Rox]

Chuck a wheelie bar on the yellow one and it'll look like a drag car....

[RedCarDriver]

@ Sting Ray: .................no comment. I'm going to use self-control and refrain from saying anything.

[S2000_Skyline12]

Hey, if the car does what it was built to do which was to transport, then I wouldn't be complaining haha

[Porsche-AG]

I'd rather walk.

[Stereo]

I wouldn't dare walk 10 hours for what I could get to in 30 minutes-1 hour even in a car like that. I have to admit, its purely American and it's only good at transportation.

Jap cars ftw.

[donaldgladden]

the last one looks like a bananna

[baumaxx1]

Lol... try-hard panel vans. The white one was ok actually... the non wooden one.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Looking at a 1995 Miata for $1,600. Kinda beat up (couple dents, needs new top, boot lid is from another Miata [different colour]), but it's mechanically sound. And it'd certainly be better to drive than my current car (1992 Eclipse GS).

I looked it up on Wikipedia, and I think the paint on it is 'Montego Blue Mica', which is a metallic blue, but is has sort-of green highlights, like it's pearlescent. I'll try to get a pic.

[Grez~Supra_RZ-S]

Thats quite a sought after colour in the UK.

Do it.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Right, so my dad found a 1997 M-Edition (Marina Green Mica); 70,000 miles, I think he said, for $5,200. Called the place, left a message, and are now waiting for a response. Could very likely be purchasing this today, depending on if we get a call back.

[Porsche-AG]

Deals like that are unheard of or stolen where I live... a '94 Miata with 140K km costs around $9,000.

Hope you pick up that great deal
