* this thread needs YOU ! *, Which car/motorbike/tractor/drone/plane/skateboard/surfboard/boat/train is the coolest ever

Here in my car, I feel safest of all, I can lock all my doors.

Ha!

Plastic do you drive? 

Hell yes!    I've had over 40 cars - including TVRs, MGs etc.

ha ha just seen this 

lucky so and so

there is a guy here who keeps getting tickets for his supercar because he takes up 2 spaces. He is very good about it in that he pays for 2 spaces. But the warden says he was parked over a line and just give him a ticket each time he parks it ! 

crazy or wot

I look forward to when I have that problem !

Fuel economy on modern cars is terrible - they weigh so much - the current top-of-the-range VW Golf weighs double the original '70s Golf GTi - all those airbags, electrics, soundproofing etc.  

oh no I have a VW and funnily I dont like its gearbox :(  I have had more issues than expected with my VW. I wont be buying a VW again I will be return probably to hyundai or maybe try vauxhall.  I would ove to buy jaoaneese but they can be pricey. Nissan are brillant BTW.

Cool I've learnt something. 

Fuel economy is pretty good in new cars thou these days endless your driving one of these monster cars I've been seeing recently and this was before Halloween before the jokes come out! Have you seen the there like the American one taking up all the road and too much space when parking!!!! 

And they ALWAYS go wrong - VW DSG is a wallet-breaker.

If you're short of cash, buy Vauxhall, Ford or BMW or VW - they are the cars being tinkered with by the boy racer/home mechanics - every possible fault is on YouTube with how to fix it.    If you buy Kia or Hyundai, there is no knowledge base so every fault is dealer-only so crazy expensive!

Never buy French or Italian!  Unless you like walking everywhere! 

Okay noted but you can get a hybrid of manual and auto wich I find cool the gear box is a up and down but it still has the timing element to a skillful gear change 

Nope - if your car is fuel injected, taking your foot off the gas shuts off the injectors on all cars - manual or auto..

Towing - you can tow autos - normally specified at less than 30mph - this is because the gearbox oil is pumped by the input shaft of the gearbox - so it needs the engine running to lubricate the gears.   If the engine is running, you can tow it as fast as you like.
