I would like to have a diesel powered automocar

I'm digging the fuel mileage, and it's entertaining to drive. It definitely takes some getting used to compared to my e36 BMW, that's for sure. Gobs of torque, but a smaller RPM range. And that DSG is different.

VW makes a pretty sweet car. I like them a lot.

I'd like to shoehorn a SDuramax Diesel into an old car. Who doesn't want 1500lb-ft. of torque in an old Malibu or something?

[cavymeister]

I also love the fact that this is like every other diesel. You can double the torque for a nickle.

cavy if you need any OEM parts let me know


congrats on the new ride.

Did they give you the 1k fuel card or is that for the passat only?

It was either a 1k gas card, or a 1k rebate. I took the rebate since work pays for fuel.


Filed up today. Running 33.5 mpg for the first 310 miles. Spent about 3.5 hours sitting in bumper to bumper traffic, though. Had a 43 mile trip where the computer said I did 50.0 mpg even.

Will do, I will keep that in mind and thanks sleepy.

Gonna cook Easter dinner...

[cavymeister]

Tossed this hunk of flesh on the grill about 30 minutes ago.

Put my Street Triple up for sale Friday. I'm after one of these:


BMW S 1000 R

[cavymeister]

Love my bimmers. How much does one of those run?




This ended up the grill as well today.

Wish I had the cash for something like that. Emailed a guy about one of these today:

[HairyScandinavian]

Cavvy, what you got?
That one with performance package is $15k + ttl.

I wish I had a place to ride dirtbikes nearby, my boys would love it.

Can't freakin rep anyone I'm always on spread.

Never rode before, figure it would be something good to start learning on. cheap and I can ride it on dirt roads. Guy already emailed me back, sold it already.

[HairyScandinavian]

Dirtbikes are a blast man, probably more odds of messing up though since they encourage buffoonery big time. Riding habits are different than a street bike though, putting feet down and fish tailing corners and such.

Yea, I worry about the trouble I could get into on any bike. I want to be able to ride trails and around town so it seems like the best all around choice. Also finding a used dual sport bike is way cheaper.

damn, I have been toying with the idea of grabbing a dual sport bike this summer too. Its still early for riding here, I'm sure there will be plenty of accidents on the scanner for me to hear about soon enough.

[HairyScandinavian]

Two of my baby sisters graduated from Dallas police academy last week. Two more rolling through to be finished in July.

I love riding, but there's no denying it's dangerous as hell.

Yo Insom!

Not sure if this is even the right area to ask this but here we go. If not I can go ask the misc if not much info here.

Anyone know of a decent two room tent that is quick to set up and take down and isnt too crazy expensive? I really rather do two room, each room will have two people, so 4 total. It will be used in decent weather, spring/summer mostly.

Thanks very much to anyone with any help/info, appreciate it.

I can't answer the question, but can think of a clarification that somebody who can answer it may want to know:


Is weight a factor? As in, is this a camping tent that won't have to be packed in, or only a short distance (so short you can make multiple trips easily to get everything)? I think the assumption would be yes

[demike]

Yes, I plan to be able to drive my vehicle pretty close to the camp site so multiple trips shouldnt be an issue.

Thanks man for thinking to ask me that, I had never really given that much thought. Hope you are doing well too bro.

[HairyScandinavian]

I've developed a hell of a preference for separating people in smaller tents, so without a whole lot of info I'd recommend two smaller tents rather than one large. Smaller tents seem to always be more wind resistant, quicker to setup, and more stable unless you get into $500+ range on a bigger tent. Plus you have the added benefit of moving it further away if the other people snore too loud or you're making noise with the lady friend, etc... Few years back I picked up a couple SlumberJack Trail Tent 2's on clearance for somewhere around $29/pop. I just thought they were cheap tents so let the kids abuse them and they've been fantastic.

[Yeti06]

Do you have a numerical price range?
