The Subaru would be awesome there, although a tad risky perhaps as more power makes it harder to control,

While I won't claim my Subaru is "easy" to control, it certainly isn't too hard. With traction control on, I can go around fairly sharp curves at 80mph. (130km roughly). It's more fun to drive in emptiness areas with nothing to crash into with the TC off,

It does take a bit to get used to, though. Having previously driven a 96 Chevy Beretta, and 94 Cavalier, and a 2002 Ford Mustang, none of which handled too well, it was hard to get used to a car that was more than willing to take turns at something faster than a snails pace.

25MPH on highway doesn't sound too bad though, I bet mine almost does double though

MPG not MPH, lol.

I won't complain much about 25MPG because in the real-world, a Chevy Cavalier putting out 115HP on a good day gets 28MPG at best... And the Subaru is putting out over 160 more horses.

I guess your old cars all suffered from the American stereotype of them being great comfortable cars to drive, yet feeling like an oil tanker when trying to corner them. I would still love to have that experience btw, as our European cars are nothing like that at all. Sharp curves are great to tackle at high speed, nothing like some screeching tires :lol:

Also, I take great pleasure in doing highway corners at the actual speed limit, despite there being a sign giving a recommendation that's much lower. Two German guys in a Smart (looked as dodgy as it sounds ) didn't agree with me taking them over on the highway nearby, so they kinda went over the speed limit, but as it was like 10pm I didn't see any harm in taking them up either. Loved that they were at quite the distance after one such corners, badly trying to catch up again

As for electronic assistance, I can't turn off traction control and such things on my car, only when not going any faster than 50km/h in order to get away in snow or so. I sometimes really find it to feel weird when it's correcting my behaviour when taking a roundabout for instance, I know it's trying to compensate for understeer but to me it actually feels like losing control and grip. Then again, I should ask for better tires, eco trash doesn't do justice to this car's cornering

Wow, GoDaddy, no need to be so generous.

Randy Savage? He died due to a heart condition (iirc) not related to beef jerky, probably because of the roids actually.

Beef Jerky is in fact pretty healthy.

Oh, it was just a joke at the poor chap's expense. RIP Randy.

Comfortable? HAHA! good one.

The Chevy Beretta, being a pseduo-sports car, was uncomfortable.
The Mustang, being a (crappy) sports car, was uncomfortable.
The Cavaliers, being base-model cheap cars, were unconfortable. (Though I have to say, Cavaliers hold up pretty well considering a late 90s/early 2000s can be had for less than $2000 in good condition)

I wish she was my grandmother, for some odd reason

Actually watched Judge Judy while on lunch break today. The case of the day was a women who was suing her friend for selling an unsatisfying sex toy. I never knew court TV could be so entertaining. Maybe I am getting old

There is irony in there somewhere.

Ugh, then please do tell me the appeal of those cars. They do look powerful, but if all you can do is straight ends, what's the point, especially if there's speed limits?

Well, there are luxury American cars that are comfortable, but I don't get the appeal of Mustangs at all. If I wanted fun straight-line acceleration, I would have a classic car, but as it stands any modern sports car should be able to go more than 3.7821 miles per hour around a turn.

So i was playing borderlands and the laptop crashed completely. It just shut down with no errors as if i was holding the power button and the whole thing went black. After that it didnt want to turn on and none of the lights were lit including the charger. I took out the battery and left it like that for 20 minutes and now its working again.

Is this a motherboard issue or battery? Even with the charger connected and the battery unplugged it didnt want to turn on.

 

[-StrikE-]

Wait, as far as i know if the battery is not connected it wont work with a charger...

 

[Noja87]

It works both ways.

 

[-StrikE-]

Damn i ain't keeping up with times then , well i rarely worked with laptops that also true...

If you discovered that in a span of a month :

- Your sister has been spending lavishly, like $100 per day (Remember our country's minimum monthly wage is $80 per month.)

- Her husband has a mistress, and has "stolen" from our store a total of roughly $14,000.

- Then my sister discovers the affair and runs away. Along with her responsibilities.

- Sister leaves behind $2500 in unpaid credit card bills.

- The family business branch managed by my sister has been giving credit but hasn't trying to make the creditors pay probably due to her relationship state. Total Credit = $40,000

- Lastly, discover we're in $20,000 in debt in mortages and stuff.

After all that ranting and numbers. Would you still get angry? >.<

time to run away too?

 

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

That's way beyond angry almost the point it loops back to serene calmness levels of debt there.

Groovy.

That thing is bloody mind exploding when you know what it represents.
