                  Cars! 
                
              
                Well, the "how old are you topic" was getting pretty much away from it's original purpose, so I decided to devert the topic discussed there to a new thread were it is actually on-topic :P 
                 
                So well, to start, I drive a 1995 Citroën AX 11TGE. Not much to brag about, I know, it's small, doesn't look to good either, but it's 63HP get it up to 170km/h and it uses only 1 liter of gasoline to 18km :P So that is the part I can brag about, this car is such a frickin' cheap drive, I wouldn't even think of getting another. 
                I'll post a picture of it when I get home maybe :P

                My father drives a 1995 BMW 530 tds. 
                It's got 205cv and reaches 240 (oh, well, to be scientific: 237,8) km/h. 
                It's very big (too?) so we frequently have problems to place it (maybe if we try demolition derby    )
                 
                I want to be 18 now to drive it, but my parents say I'm dangerous to the other drivers   
                
                Anyway, my favourite car, was, is, and will be forever:
                 
                1972 Ford Mustang hemi boss. A perfect car to mark the road...

                Favourite car, that would be the Ford Torino Cobra from 1971, here's pic: link! 
                I think it's a brilliant car.

                Very brilliant car! 
                
                As a "power wrath lover", my favourite type of car is muscle.
                 
                Mustangs, camaros, gran torinos, buicks, corvettes...
                 
                The kings of the road!

                The only real drawback is their huge gasoline consumption... Long live the V8, better have a turbocharged V6, more power and less gas needed :P

                My boss has it too, Audi RS4, delivers a staggering 456hp out of a 2.6l V6 :P That's a lot of hp per liter :P 
                Or was is 356? I don't remember, anyways, even with 356hp it still beats most muscle cars :P But even with a V6  which is tuned as extremely as the RS4's one, it still uses about 1 liter to 5km :P

                hp = cv, figured that one out on Wikipedia :P 
                 
                hp = horsepower 
                cv = cheval vapeur 
                 
                turns out cv is simply French for hp :P

                so it's the same unity. 
                
                as well as I saw it, the 2006 ford mustang has got 480 hp!!!

                :P yeah, but I don't quite like the way it looks, if it comes to musclecars, I only like the classics.
