Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that crap. Looks are just preference. My old man had a 460L. I thought it looked pretty kool. of course it was gone by the time I got my license.

I use lexus LFA.... in Need for speed. It looks pretty sexy. Probably the best looking sedan in the whole game.

Honestly, back in high school my fav car used to be Corvette (was always park RIGHT next door), then to Mustang 06, to Chevy (transformer effect). Then I settled for Challenger Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar (SRT) 12.

I was eyeing a Mercedes CLK convertible. Couldn't deal with the price. Now that's a good looking car.

Dilscoop · #**128** April 5, 2012, 07:27 PM

Convertible? I actually drove it! TWICE! Believe it or not. It was flying. I didn't realize I was doing 40 on 25. My friend's brother.

Last time I checked it was sitting on their garage because they couldn't find a little part. And it cost about 4k or something

guys i just looked at my bank account, i have a grand total of a whopping 200 dollars. How am I gonna buy a beamer (not the bc user beamer, he is probably for sale for 2 dollars)? I am gonna ask my shoshur to lend me some money from his retirement plan - he still owes me dowry money...

idumb ki hature daktar naki !!! never heard of a doctor with 200 dollars in their bank account !! you should be walking in a dealership with a briefcase full of cash and buy a BMW for your wife.

on topic: MO C bhai, go for the mercedes R class. That would be good subsitution for your MPV.

Have you checked your coolant level? If an older car, also check for leaks in the coolant system. Follow the hoses around and see if you need to tighten them or if you see leaks. It could also be that it is fine but your heat sensor is acting up. Is your fan working? When does it overheat most? Idling? Highway? Going up slopes? When the windows are all fogged up?

Basically the problem is to do with my radiators.. The garrage people said its blocked. To fix it they said that they will charge me £300.. I'm not going to pay lol. The radiator does not work but only works when I put it to full blast. I don't really know how to go about fixing it

LOL
Too late for that Boss. If anything was going to happen to me while hitch hiking, it would have happened when I hitch hiked from the UK to the Czech Republic (with the liability of having two female coursemates in tow) or the UK to Morocco solo or across Northern India. If anything my experience was more like this:

**Zunaid** · #**138** April 6, 2012, 04:22 AM

Well, try hitchhiking in the US.

which car do you drive? If your radiator is not leaking then ask your mechanic to check the water pump. £300 is bit steep for radiator problem. I suggest you try a different mechanic. Don't leave to late for sorting it out as the radiators main job is to keep the engine cool. Leave it too late then you will be driving fireball. If its a old banger then sell it and use £300 towards your next car.

Google is your friend. You need a hose with lots of running water and a lot of garage space. Basically you'll need to flush your radiator. You can use radiator flush additives as well.

But first check if your old coolant is "oily" which could point to leaks mixing into the engine and having motor oil getting mixed in. If the water has suspended stuff in it, time to change the fluid. Could be rust which would lead to leaks in the future.

DIY saves money. Ignoring the problem on the other hand will hurt you big time later.

**Zunaid** · #**142** April 6, 2012, 09:49 AM

On the other hand, radiator flushing should not be that expensive. It's between $50-$150 in the US.

You can get 2005 punto for less then 1500 pounds. So I will not spend 300 pounds to get it fixed. If your car is new or less then 3 year old it should be covered under warranty.

**Zunaid** · #**144** April 6, 2012, 10:50 AM

Found the old car trouble thread and did the merge.

MohammedC · #**145** April 6, 2012, 11:08 AM

Reading back I found 3 years ago I wanted a C-Class Avantgarde and ended up getting a VW Sharan.

This time I am going to stick to my plan. I am going to get an E-Class. InshAllah.

True but. Interior space for E-Class is bigger then equivalent 5- series BMW.

Lexus looks ugly for all the money you are going to spend.

BTW I am not a BMW men. I know the car is too good too handle but not for me. If I do own a BMW it would have to be X-5 the only BMW I liked.

I just LOVE Acura MDX, Audi Q7 and Infiniti FX. Just too sexy. I had this huge obsession about BMW too but got over it..

Like Idumb said everytime I see a Bangali with Benz I feel like they suddenly got rich and dont know what to do about it so they buy Benz just to show off. (I know its not true but Mathay khali ei tai ghure)

Women with kids: Love SUV. GMC has good SUVs. Those Terrain look good.

If you guys don't have any kids she would want more young looking car and that's when you will dealing with Mercedes and its maintenance.

If you are single and you want to buy for yourself, I want you to look into some of those lenny kravitz jeeps. ohhhsssommmee!
