    Dralex sure it need +1 HP at the moment to move (no engine inside. :D But after I'll finish the restoration we can meet in Kiev H2H. I believe that repair of mine will never hurt me too much. :D
    I'll kick ass of Your "monster truck". :p :super:

    BTW I'll have a "kengurin" soon so beware.

    Completely agree with you, I drove that Subara's demon for almost 6 month when I was in US. This car is a monster! Takes 66 mph / 100 kmp for less than 6 seconds. And it's supperior ballanced almost like Porsche.

    By the way, all americans cars excluding Corvette is a crap, eating of gas too much, can do only making of hard noise and squeal, but can't ride except straight roads. :) And the quality... only russian cars are worse that american. :) Italian, some of Japan and certanly German cars - rule!

    I drive a Batavus MK-IV S. 1.2 HP, 49.6 cc, 4-stroke, 4 speed Sachs-engine, top-speed of 70 kmph. Weight: 110 kg. Built in 1971, which makes it a lot older then me.

    The best moped ever built in Holland and the second one I've had. I drove my first (a MK-IV A) into a Lada once. The Lada was deemed "total-loss" (4000 euros of damage) while my moped had no damage but a bent direction-indicator light :D

    Of course, when I drove that bike into a concrete wall at 60 kmph a couple of months later the wall won and my shoulder lost... What can I say? Great moped, just too bad the brakes are a bit fragile. This was repaired on the "S" type.

    Well, I've never owned a Corvette like you have, so I can't say either way. But, I know the Corvette would never survive the use and abuse my 1971 Monte Carlo has taken ;-)

    So? What's wrong with that?

    Hey, that's a preference, not a feature ;) My preference, is this engine here (if I win it): Chevy SB 327 Engine Besides, I think you're jealous :p

    Hey, we've improved our roads since 1901 :dura:

    OMG LM :ass: O AHAHAH Good one ;)


    Well, ::ahem:: I've never driven the Italian cars, but the rice burners and shoeboxes have nothing in comparison to German cars of which I've only driven once. I'm perfectly happy with my old Chevy Junker.

    Here are the operating costs of my car:
    Oil change: $8 every 2,000 miles
    Fuel: $1.40 Gal (I drive approx 200 Miles a week)
    Insurance: $30 Month

    I havn't checked in a while, but I think my car gets about 15-17 MPG. I drive at speeds of 65-80mph when I'm on the road.
    Here is my 1971 Monte Carlo, one of my cars. Kinda sad looking but I'll have it fixed up someday :dura:

    Some rules, some does not.

    FIAT = "fix it again, Tony"
    IMHO

    New FIAT Stilo is a pretty good equipped crap.

    As regadrs to american cars, Americans and European won't ever arrange for best car(s). Same as to compare Hellcat vs. Friedrich.


    I would prefer Porsche Cayenne Turbo over all cars :)

    "karman" in Russian means "pocket" :)

    Vag, "Zaporozhets" is a small, underfed Porshe. They look alike and both have engine in the rear ;)

    It's "kArmann" not "karmAnn", as far as I know in Russian "Atlas" is not the same as "atlAs"...
