I love my ride cuz it's the best thing since sliced bread. Or would you say sliced lanes?

Things I love is fuel consumption (24km/L) and never getting stuck in traffic ever again!

It also beats a porsche boxster from robot to robot! (Porsche has 10 times more cc's).

Before you laugh at me - remember most women don't know much about cars. My fuel consumption is down quite a bit - I know I have done more town driving lately than highway - but could I have a hole in my exhaust? I have heard that it can affect your consumption, is that right?

Usually a hole in the exhaust increases your fuel consumption. So if you think there's a hole (is the car making a different noise?) I'd get it checked out.

When I get a couple of these guys and I'm not in the mood to race, I usually just leave them in my dust anyway, but when I do want to have a robot to robot, I can't seem to find any... :?

I love my car because of low feul consumption, good power and torque, and it is a very fun car to drive.

I love my car....damn I don't one. I have access to a company car, so I don't have any expences on it. It gives me time to save for a personal car, when needed I can go buy the best I can pay for. If I must go buy something now I'll most likey buy a 2nd hand Audi A6 or a Volvo S80. What I really would like to buy is a Subaru STi but for now its save save save :lol: Or a Audi RS6 should I win the lotto.

I love my bakkie (Corsa UTE 1.8 sport) because it's mine (not the banks), comfortable to drive and I can use it to haul big things... like me. lol.

From the end of the week I will love my new (to me) Buell XB9SX because OMG it's fun to ride and has LOADS of torque and really handles well :)

Friggs! I didn't know you were running a Buell? How recent is that purchase? Beautiful!
I love the radial brakes and under-side exhaust - looks awesome!
Is the pipe standard? How muffled is it in stock form?
I bet it wheelies like a maniac?!
Nice numberplate ;)
