My mom had an Alfa Spyder. It stalled out constantly on the hill near our house and I don't think she ever took it on the freeway. After it finally became too expensive to repair, it rusted on our driveway for 6 years. Then she replaced it... with a Jaguar.
That could be impressive if we knew the distance.. Could have been a few blocks away and then Id be telling you to sell that gas guzzler!
We get (according to the display) between 47-50 mpg. Enough for trips to the dentist and supermarket.
I get completely why you don't like the P4. It was inferior to AMD at the time, inefficient, netburst, the list goes on and you've put well the list of problems. Why the mindset that anyone who DOES enjoy the P4 despite its flaws is just uneducated on the subject though? You seem to be very aggressive about your opinion that P4 hardware is all cheap junk ewaste that should be thrown out like that's fact. You're fine to hold that opinion, but not everyone agrees. It hurts a bit to see someone call those people all "young and stupid" over something they enjoy. And hey, the loud fans in my Prescott Inspiron 9100 make great white noise to fall asleep to
Nothing that guy said had anything to do with politics?
Maybe you just lack compassion, I don't know, you tell us, is it your way or the highway? The answer speaks volumes, its your Karma, you get to choose! How do you choose to be viewed and understood? Tell us please, enlighten us as to how you listen and respect others? You appear to come off to some of us as troLlsh, how do you want to respect and view your opinions?
You know the 1973 honda civic cvcc got 51.7mpg (lots of folks got that to almost 70) 51 years ago on a fully gasoline engine.
....maybe I do.
Well heres the thing. Old japanese steel was very inferior.. however thier engines were quite the contrary. So if youd let a still working engine over the whole car...wed have something to talk about.
You don't have to understand it to be able to respect it. There's some parts of this hobby I don't get in the slightest - people who collect old printers for instance, that's a part of this hobby I'd never get into. But it doesn't really bother me. If someone wants to have a shelf full of old printers, that's fine. What I'm trying to get is why people appreciating P4 stuff seems to bother you so much - if you don't like them, just don't buy them.
My last GMC supposedly blew an engine at 89K miles, they totally didn't give a crap when they miss diagnosed their bad engine, it needs rebuilding or replacement they declared. THEY caused me to replace it at a cost of $7K. When they reused the same engine coils and the rebuilt engine failed in the exact same fashion, they said sorry Charlie and refunded me NOTHING!
There are two good reasons to push forward with this project:
