I'm thinking of getting a dodge journey or something similar as I am getting another big dog.

I wouldn't mind it if I could afford a new Dodge Ram pickup in white.  But alas, I cannot.  Had an 03 F150  and liked it very much but my wife needed a car so I traded it in on a Passat for her. 

Wish I still had my Toyota pickup.  It was a '95 (?) or whatever was the last year before the Tacoma came out.

An old ass civic

Debating between a x3 35i or a 3 series wagon right now, the x3 drives sloppier but the wagon is stupid overpriced for a 4 banger and we don't get the euro v6 option over here. But the 2015 x3 has no msport package out until may.

Murcia, fuck yeah.

Mine looks better from the inside...




Second one in 2 months - first one, the gearbox went after 9 days. German engineering, eh?

They replaced the whole car though.

Thailand - we drive on the left...

Well - I drive on the left - every other fucker just seems to drive wherever the fuck they want - but left is what it would say in their highway code, were they to have one.

Why would you even bother with a nice car like that in Thailand? Don't they still have bikes with tents on them?

It's like driving an Aston Martin in Rwanda.

I was driving SUVs here for 16 years here - mostly because of the kids, wakeboards, bikes etc - this time I just decided I wanted something a bit more fun to drive. They have some decent roads here, although Bangkok does get gridlocked.

The biggest upsides - you don't get pulled over by the cops in it and when you drive into a full car park, the security guards will guide you to a "pride of place" area where you can leave your car.  Not sure why - but I suspect they like to have nice cars lined up at the front.  So basically - you'll be driving behind 4 Toyotas all looking for spaces, then you hear a whistle, the guard waves you over, moves some traffic cones and gives you that place to leave the car.  Bung him 20 Baht (75c) and you'll be waved in every time you go there.

Poor countries like Thailand aren't void of money - it's just not very evenly distributed.  Go to Starbucks @ Tops on Thong Lor any Sunday morning and you will see about 10  $1million+ cars there - all owned by guys that look like they should still be in diapers. A lot of them are illegally imported because of huge car taxes (even my 320i cost $80k), so these guys are probably the sons of politicians, senior police, senior armed forces etc. - lots of money and total exemption from the law.

Bottom line - even a cheaper BMW like mine is fun to drive. I rented a new Honda Accord whilst waiting for the BMW and it was like steering a fish. Nice, smooth ride but no guts and no personality.

I've been in my ex boss' GT3 and A8. Been in a Ferrari 458 Italia (only passenger) and BMW X6 custom built. Obviously nice cars and all that. Drives .. well I don't really know. It drives better than my Honda for sure. But for me it's 110% NOT worth dropping any money on a car that expensive. Even if I had it (which I don't), I'd never see the value in spending 100s of 1000s to essentially connect A & B.

However, different strokes and all that.

Well - I couldn't afford a Ferrari, so I can't comment. I don't expect to be able to either!

As an English guy, I think it's a fucking outrage the cost of cars here. A couple of weeks ago I was in Singapore and over lunch, the woman I was having lunch with explained that they had just paid S$115,000 for a one or two year old 7 seater Citroen. In US dollars, that's $91K,for a Citroen!  Cars are REALLY, REALLY expensive in Singapore plus they have some odd regulations intended to keep as many people off the road by making it expensive.

The bottom line is her husband is in sales, needs a car and that's how much they are there. So you either get one or not.

So I don't think it's about splashing out on a really expensive car as much as living in a place where cars just cost a load more. The flip side is that food, electricity, fuel, property is all VERY cheap where I live. In Singapore everything is expensive. In Thailand, cost of living wise, it does start to balance out.

You should try Ireland, UK cars are a steal compared to over here. Plus with the price of fuel we pay here in Europe we are getting screwed big time. Americans don't realise how good they have it, I drove across the US and Canada before and couldn't believe how cheap fuel was and meanwhile all over their news at the time was stories about how gas prices had hit an all time high over there.

KITT is up for auction:

http://www.julienslive.com/view-auctions/catalog/id/120/lot/51531/?url=%252Fview-auctions%252Fcatalog%252Fid%252F120%252F%253Fpage%253D5%2526items%253D100

Americans have had a long-running love affair with the automobile, and in 1982, David Hasselhoff drove into our hearts as Michael Knight in an artificially intelligent, indestructible supercar fashioned out of a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am named KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand). Fans created this KITT car and gifted it to Hasselhoff. This is not your standard 1986 Firebird. Inside and out she is fashioned after the beloved icon, including KITT’s distinct exterior lighting and scissor doors. Her custom interior features w-style yoke steering wheel and an elaborate digital dash and console. She is rear wheel drive and powered by a 5.0 liter V-8 engine with automatic transmission. She is programmed to speak with over 4,000 sound bites from the classic television show  Knight   Rider . The car was made by Jennifer Catano.

Please note this item is on display at the Museum of Style Icons in Ireland until April 27, 2014.  The winning bidder is responsible for all costs associated with moving and shipping this item.

PROVENANCE From the Collection of David Hasselhoff

Then look at prices here in NZ dude. We get bent over and rammed hard. Don't even get the benefit of being greased up first.

In the UK I've had a Z4 before I was 25. I've had all the 'name' cars before settling on a 3 series Beemer and a new Clio as a run-around. Cheap as chips back home.

Over here they take the piss. Cars with 150-200k on the clock often goes for close to 5 grand GBP and a decent runner would set you back double that. I'm looking at buying a Ford SUV and I'm going to be stumping up 25k  GBP for it. That's 3 years old with 60 on the clock.

Fucking piss take here.
