I have no car of my own yet. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Insurance is costy and I just don't really need one. I drive my father's M5 or M Roadster (with REAL M engine <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ) ...

what kind of a mustang do u have lisa?
i got just a corolla... :rolleyes:
but i get my ways.
and i personaly love riding in cars, specially long disstances.

It's a silver 2000 mustang. Before that was my favorite Mustang I've had, white with stripes <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Looks very cool nad sporty. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Here, cars are rairly painted with stripes or any other secondary color patterns, kind of bad. What's your opinio about Corvette? <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Also, I've heard that European cars are not very welcome on the road in USA, especially BMW's? <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I guess it's fair enough, since most of them are jerks. Myself not including, of course ... <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> American cars are SO different to European. There is almost nothing in common.

A bit off-topic ... but it is very funny to read through the posts, where people seriously take "additional" cupholders as an advantage. And I've seen quite a few of those. Why? In Europe almost nobody uses them and manufacturers, when include them, they do it just formally, those holders are not that good at holding cups. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Japanese cars are practical I think. If you want to use it for many years, their warranty extends up to 7 years I think ... Toyota's at least.

I see a ton of all sorts of cars on the road, it's certainly not just American cars here. Many people drive Japanese cars, or BMWs and so on.

When you say additional cupholders, do you mean the 2 commonly found in the center console, or ones other than those? I find the 2 in the console really handy <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Really? You use them? <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I don't know, I have never ever used one. And there was this forum and someone was discussing about some car, a BMW I think, and someone said "I wouldn't buy it in your place. It has no cupholders." ... I was amazed. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Are the roads in USA THAR smooth and soft that they actually allow you to put a cup in a cupholder?

Yes, I meant those in the center console and those at the back as well. I think that there might even be more on other cars. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I actually have an article about cars games you can play in the car. It's at: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art48.asp

There's one that's not on the list, however. It's played like the Punchbuggy game, except with PT Crusiers and you yell "PT Cruiser Bruiser!!" and then punch someone.

I think every single person I know uses those. Don't you buy food at McDonalds and Wendy's and then eat it while you're driving? That's a national pasttime here! So you stick the drink into the cupholder, and the cupholder has high sides so sure, it holds the drink container very securely. You just grab it and sip through the straw and put it back down, it's very convenient. No spilled drinks.

Most morning commuters use it to hold their coffee which they drink while they drive to work.

Our roads are paved, you know <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yikes there are games that involve people punching each other in a car?? That sounds like a really bad idea <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
