<p>I want a GAS GUZZLER! haha … I’m pretty serious though, :D</p>
<p>Woot for hybrids!!! Haha, best environmentally friendly cars are diesel hybrids, electric, and high-MPG gasoline cars (arguably).</p>
<p>BTW, Fiat is the company that produced the Panda. It is definitely confusing, but fast exotic-looking cars always catch my eyes. :)</p>
<p>Gas Guzzlers rule, otherwise no exotics! Well, Hummers aren’t hot anymore, so idk. But SUVs are DA BEST! :D</p>
<p>Hybrids are nice bc they are environmental friendly and stuff … but they dont really have a “wow” or “hot” factor.</p>
<p>My cousin has an ML320, runs on diesel, wouldnt mind owning that!</p>
<p>^That’s a very nice car. New diesels aer “clean” & get great mileage/range</p>
<p>The problem w/ hybrids is their battery, which isn’t eco-friendly, costly, and needs to be replaced kinda early in vehicle’s life. Hybrids are a bit ugly, but that’s for aerodynamic purposes & to look high-tech! :)</p>
<p>I don’t think I’d ever own a hybrid … I’m all for earth friendly and stuff, but NO, lol. Well those new Tesla’s look pretty amazing, price tag is pretty huge and I don’t think any are even out on the market yet.</p>
<p>I’m actually not a huge fan of Tesla because I don’t want 863 lithium-ion batteries right behind me. Just not my thing, plus it’s a modified Lotus Elise (a sweet car that uses Toyota componets). Tesla’s looks are very flashy, but Id rather get a Maserati for that price tag. Besides, Teslas have no exhaust sound! :(</p>
<p>I like flashy. 
But no exhausts? Whoa … what were they thinking! Didn’t know that, :(. They’re still hot though! As for maserati’s, I really haven’t looked those up too much. I remember seeing Summer’s dad owning one, I use to be an OC addict!</p>
<p>Ew, gas guzzlers. </p>
<p>I’m definitely not getting one, sorry! No doubt they’re nice looking, but I’d definitely be scared of getting it stolen/scratched/etc., and I’m more of a person who would be scared of how fast the car could go than super happy about it… Lol.</p>
<p>rcchay, I was scared, too! The first time I was in a my friends GTI (he was racing) I was scared out of my mind! I my heart was beating like 100 a minute … almost how fast we were going. But after that, it’s just so thrilling. Especially with the windows down, the wind pretty much smacking you in the face, haha, and the sound of the exhausts … I absolutely love it!</p>
<p>Tesla has no combustion occurring, which produces the exhaust sounds. That’s why they are “zero-emission vehicles,” meaning it’s fully electric. They run on cell phone batteries, and have abuzzing/whining sound to it. You don’t want to scratch this thing, must be hardest thing to find a dealer for repairs! </p>
<p>Maserati is owned by Fiat, the same people as Ferrari. Fiat put Ferrari in charge of Ferrari to resurrect the brand back to glory days, which has since happened. It’s a <em>poor man’s Ferrari</em> or more luxe Ferrari, take your pick lol. They don’t go as fast, and are more chill/touring vehicles that are still very fast & fun to drive. Sorry, no nothing about OC haha:D Some girls tried to get me to watch that or Laguna Beach at a party…had no idea what was going on! ;)</p>
<p>Hybrids were a nice step forward, but they are not entirely practical in larger applications like SUVs, which are needed for large families. It’s more fuel efficient to take 1 large car than 2 small ones… :P</p>
<p>Haha, my friend got me up to ~90 in an old Ford Exedition, at least you had a German auto to be in 
I was worried about cops because three cars going 90-100 on a highway sure garnered attention! Be careful, don’t want your face to fall off! :D</p>
<p>I went 90 in Mercedes CLK , 350 i think? Haha I forget … all I know is it was tiny as hell and a two seater. Pretty much a joy ride, it was my cousins as well, before she got her ML. She’s so freakin lucky. She works for Mercedes and gets to trade in her car all she wants! I’m so jealous :(</p>
<p>Wow, does she work at the Mercedes NA Head Quarters in Jersey? She sounds lucky, and probably loves her job! BTW, sounds like you were in a SLK 350 becausethe CLK is a 4 seater. What exactly does she do at her job? I would loooove to be in auto business for design and inventing new features! I might check out soon…</p>
<p>What? She gets to… What? That’s amazing.
I bet all the other car dealers get to do that too. My GOD.
Those are nice cars. I agree with big dreamer, she probably loves her job, right? Lol.</p>
<p>SLK = sports one? If so, then yea. I still get confused. :(. Oh yea, she works in the new york city actually. She doesn’t really do much, lol. I really don’t know what she does, she isn’t a sales rep or anything but if i ever wanted a new mercedes (like my parents would buy me it as my first car, ha!) she could give me good discount, didn’t really disclose how much though. Hmm … I’m actually curious as to what she does now, too. Btw I’m gonna be out in like 30 minutes too.</p>
<p>Yeah, SLK is a 2 seater that’s pretty small. A CLK is a coupe version of the E Class (basically Mercedes bread-and-butter). Oh, she works in NYC, then she must work at a dealer or something. I remember when I stayed in Jersey that I passed BMW & Mercedes’ North America Head Quarters, so that’s why I guessed that. Haha, my sis got a BMW & I want one too (don’t most of us lol?), but I most likely will get a Toyota 4Runner or something like that. I’m curious as to what your cuz does too… I may be gone in like 10-15 minutes…have work in a few hours…</p>
<p>I’m going to bed guys, sorry can’t look too sleepy today. I may have some tedious tasks like organizing & cleaning, so I need the energy haha! :D</p>
<p>Good night smilemyonly & rchhay!!!
TTYL, keep the thread going!</p>
<p>Night big dreamer… I’m probably heading out in a couple of minutes too…Heading to bed, that is.</p>
<p>My parents love Toyotas! My dad has 4runner. mom has a sequoia, and my sister had a lexus rx350. I want to break out though, probably an Wrangler, but my dad either wants to get me an H3 or another lexus, the rx400 hybrid. I don’t even like lexus’s that much, and the rx’s are starting to look so tiny!</p>
<p>rchhay and dreamer … you guys are probably of right now, but 'night anyway! :)</p>
