now you know why they won't do anything about the environment. smaller engines + manual transmissions = harder to drive. lazy americans, just sign the fucking kyoto protocol already, and lose the big engines. just leave the damn boat in the water, or get a smaller one. if not, i wonder what you're compensating for.

1.6 litre naturally aspirated 4 cylinder in-line 16v + 5-speed manual is all you really need to get from a->b rapidly. (make it a 2-litre, so you don't get withdrawal symptoms)

Loth, how the hell can you drive a car without reverse? Do you just only park in places where you can pull through on the other side? What about backing out of your driveway or whatever?

[Mr. Lothario]

     Well, one of the nice things about Camrys is that they have very little rolling resistance. I can coast down an incline of no more than ~8?, and I can eyeball said inclines with great accuracy. Between pizza driving and having no reverse, I'm also extremely skilled at judging whether a given space is enough for me to make a U-turn in. Sometimes I can combine the two and make part of a U-turn and then use the incline to make it a three-point turn.

     I've been delivering pizzas in this area for almost two years, so I've been damn near everyplace, so I know the apartment complexes and streets where I'll have trouble (no U-turn space and no inclines in the proper direction), so I make allowances. One complex is generally horseshoe-shaped, with a street linking the two arms. That street continues on to reach more apartments off to the side, and that's all downhill, with no place to turn at the bottom. So, I go partway up one of the arms of the horseshoe (which is conveniently graded), then throw it into reverse (for the light) and roll backwards for ~300 meters, avoiding pedestrians and opposing traffic. It gets weird looks, but it works. : D

     Having no reverse sucks, but man, it sure does force you to become a driving ninja. Try not using reverse for a few days. It requires far more alertness and planning ahead, which aren't bad qualities to develop on the road.

So what about parking? You never said anything about that.

[BTs_GhostSniper]

I too delivered pizza (both in high school and college), but I never drove a car that didn't function properly.  Poor Loth.[/size]

voods, the windshield isn't that bad. on the highway, at 130 km/h (~80.7 m/h) and higher speeds, the airstream gets quite uncomfortable .

I have to add though that the bike currently has only 34 hp, because you can only drive hp-reduced bikes in Austria if your driving license is newer than 2 years, and my brother has just made it.

     I did adress parking: "one of the nice things about Camrys is that they have very little rolling resistance. I can coast down an incline yadda yadda yadda." I just have to park on an incline or in a space I can drive forward out of.

[[:] Narauko]

I drive a 1960's Polaris Bicycle. It sux.

[*DAMN Mauti]

Well, most of you already know it:

I drive a Volkswagen GTI 16V built 1986 with 139hp. Top Speed 208 km/h and 0 - 100km/h in 8.2 seconds.

Further I drive a GT Zaskar LE 16"  Mountainbike built 1997 with a Rock Shox Judy XC, Shimano XT parts, Magura Johnny T brakes, Alutech Rock Ring, Azonic Shorty stem and downhill bar for dual slalom.

and for Trial Mountainbiking I use a 14" Alutech Racing Trialbike with DT H?gi and Ringle hubs, Alutech Rock Ring, P-Bone fork, Magura  brakes tuned with only 10.6mm pistons.

That's it.

Bye,

Mauti

Oh good lord mauti.   . If that isnt the stereotypical euro car i dunno what is! I myself drive a '01 Grand Prix GTP with 19 inch rims. Big rims pwn. If you think 19 inches isnt big...u need to look at the size of the GP's tires....
