AirTran is also pretty good. My sister and I are flying to florida in a week or so, and round trip for both of us was like $350.

I'm trying to get from Milwaukee to Greensboro, NC under 200 dollars... doesn't seem like it's happening... shiiiiiiiiiit

>>6967
Just checked Expedia, and found one for $267. You could fly into Charlotte on AirTran, and then it would DEFINITELY be under 200. Actually, it could possibly be under 100. There are web specials that show some flights as low as 84. Raleigh/Durham is also listed on the AirTran site.

>>6979
talking round trip, btw

>>6980
well, AirTran tickets are usually under 200 round trip. My mom books my brother's flights through them everytime he comes up here (which is at least once a year) and it's never been more than like $215-$230 round trip. The 84 dollar ticket would make it about 168, maybe 180 when all is said and done.

Where are you right now? Me and a friend are on the East Coast we're gonna train hop to Cali and then up to Chicago if you wanna join.

We're starting from Florida, but he lives in SC and I live in Jersey ATM. So we might be able to get you on our way.

>>6945

There ya go Op!

God speed to you all.

I've always wanted to do this.

Get a copy of the Crew Change Guide. It tells you when and where the trains stop. Then, post it here.

Comment>>6312 you sicken me if you consider that real american muscle

great

lolololol. This thread is stupid.

Vtec is for people that think 170whp after 7000 rpm is fast.

>>6974
horsepower != speed

greater power/weight ratio = speed.

troll fail

Woke up this morning, got in my Bug.
33 Degrees outside, took 3 tries to start, but it did.
Let it warm up for about 5 minutes, Radio on.
Stepped out for a moment, scraped the remaining Ice off the windshield.
Rolled down the Windows, opened the Sun-Roof. It may be cold, but it's always so damn sunny out here, even heavy snow is gone by mid-day.
Went for a drive, up some side streets and onto the Freeway.
I-40, West-bound.

vws are fun as hell when they are running.......... I have over 20k into mine. they are prolly the worst MONEY PIT you will ever find. I bed heroine would have been cheaper.

OP VWs rule man.

When this is finished, will be my daily drive.

DICKS EVERYWHERE

I would never damage a Motorists Vehicle I know what its like to care about a ride and I personally try to not be a violent person though, I do seem to have mild anger issues I've been keeping them in check haha.

Anyways a five mile bike ride for me. Its a nice ride through some rough roads and slightly hilly terrain and I ride with a backpack carrying anywhere from ten to forty pounds of assorted crap in it.

bear mace 2 ur face

Biking is ok. I prefer it for when I don't have a destination and it's nice outside (ie killing time in the summer). For getting places though, I like my car.

there's no shortage of pricks on bikes, and no shortage of them in cars. That's how it is

>>6924
I sure as hell wasn't joking. I've had people TRY to run me over, scream at me that they're going to kill me. That's aggravated assault with a deadly weapon if not attempted murder. But we're the assholes for causing some minor damage to a car because cyclists are an out-group?
You're entitled to an opinion when you risk your life to rent a movie. Until then, go plug a Xanax.

Hi

Sup?

Get an old Beemer. They're reliable and fun, and if you can drive stick they're pretty efficient. I drove a mid-90's 328i for a while, and I got an average commute of about 30MPG out of it without really trying. The downside might be electronics, and check and see what grade of fuel it should run on (some european cars are supposed to run on higher octane fuel to prevent engine knock.)

Or you could get a really old beemer, like a 325e. Still reliable, but check to see if the engine's been rebuilt recently, check to make sure that when the wheel is level that the car's going straight, etc. since they're made of steel, you can ding it all out and hide body damage pretty well if it's been in an accident, especially if it's been in one with a modern plastic car, the damage won't be pronounced but it will have affected the car's performance. They're quick and fun, but you might have seat issues, speaker issues. That said, insurance will be cheaper.

Civics aren't that great or fun to drive, but their gas mileage is impressive. I would suggest looking at getting a 4 cylinder beetle, though they're not that stylish some of them get impressive MPG. Oh, wait, you said fun to drive... well I've never driven one, I wouldn't know.

Look into a diesel, especially a TDI (Turbo Diesel). That's a good balance between fun and economy.

>>6963

Beetles CAN be fun to drive, if you find the right one. My aunt has a 2000 Turbo Beetle S (pretty much the highest performance one besides the TSi), and that thing is a beast.

www.parkers.co.uk is good for getting a rough valuation on second-hand cars, also decent reviews too.

good god, what the heck is considered a hatchback in the UK if a Renault is roomy enough for a "big guy"?

It would fetch about $2000-$2500 In the US I'd imagine, but that's pretty useless information for you lol

>>6885
Nice to know, rebecca.

I've never driven an automatic. What does it feel like for the first time?

>>6777
What? I took driving and bike lessons at the same time when I was 16. I haven't crashed once due to gear related problems. And how in jesus howard christ's name will you crash at high speed when you change gear at the wrong time? The only thing that will happen is they either the revs go high or engine loses power because not going fast enough for a higher gear. Obviously, if you're a mongoloid and think it's a great idea to switch into 1st when going 120kph then yes, you're going to block the rear wheel, which doesn't exactly result in a crash if you've practised a bit of drifting. Regardless, driving stick and riding a bike have nothing in common, it would be moot to "practice stick" before riding a bike.

Manual for life.
I will NEVER drive Automatic unless I HAVE to. Been doing manual since I was 6. Love it. Especially on the ice.

thread's tl;dr

wat debate are we talking about here? As far as I knew it was common knowledge that sticks are better any day of the week.

manual's good shit, there's a couple things it can do that automagics can't but I the one you'll notice every time you drive an automatic is shifting gears exactly when you want to. Autos are always too antsy/too late for when I want to shift

Backparking always seems like such a dopey way to go about it.

"Oh jeeeeez I'm going to go through all this crap to park so that I can shoot out when I leave"

Watch out for sneaky bullshit that nobody ever encounters (ha ha ha i guess like that backparking). The first driving test I took I failed because the DMV is next to the only "No right on red light" sign in the United States I've ever ever encountered before/since. And some slightly stressful urban roads.

The driver's test is cake.
I passed it with a perfect score on my first try. :/

>>6749

>no right turn on red

usually reading signs while driving is, in fact, considered to be a driving skill (at least I would consider it a part of driving, hard to understand to do if you DON'T READ SHIT)

>>6721 lol you would've failed many times in the UK :P

unless the examiner was asleep (not that rare)

It's easy as shit, I did it in one swoop.

Just make yourself perfectly sideways about 10 feet from where you are going to park into and just turn that bitch.... and then slowly straighten out the wheel as you go in.

Drive to the Toyota dealership and ask them?

doesn't china censor the shit out of internet content? how the fuck did you make it to 420chan?

you're in fucking china, go buy a new bag for pennies

>>6930

And use the change to buy a new pair of shoes.

>>6931 OP here.

I would have but it was like 9 PM out there, everything was closed and the flight was the next day, we didn't have time.

Also, while china does censor the everloving fuck out of everything online, not many chinese people USE 420chan, 4chan, or encylopedia dramatica. I made it back safe- I've got more pics of pinyin, this is at the airport right after customs (no they don't let you take photos of that but baggage claim is fair game).

You can't really see it but it's the 7th one back (see the green and red bungee lines?) It made it people! The sword was poking through the bottom of the fabric, and some of the safety pins were bent, but it made it alright!
