    I painted the original wheels silver before I put them back on, and they match the car a lot better now. Black wheels just don't look good on a blue and silver car.

    I'm not really a car person, but I have a Hyundai Ioniq, and it gets about 60 MPG. For someone who commutes an hour to work and does Uber on the side this thing is incredible. I can go like 600 miles on one tank.

    Without knowing anything about the internals and performance of either, on a purely aesthetic level I think X2 looks better than Q3.

    Edit: which is odd, because generally I tend to think Audis are prettier than BMWs.

    Vanity plates came in the mail today. I might wait for spring before I put them on.

    "I don't wanna explode!" [/jaynevoice]

    I had a slow day today, so I put the plates on. I couldn't bear to take pics today cuz the rest of the car is so dirty, but the plates look good.

    Out of curiosity, has anyone installed an aftermarket Android Auto or Apple CarPlay unit? Is it worth it? I know Best Buy can do this in the US, for about $100. The units range from $400 - $1000 depending on brand and screen size.

    2003 Ford Escape, dark grey. Has the faint hint of green slime along the edges. Misfires on the 3rd and 5th cylinder. Subtle crack in the windshield, less than 3 years old. The rear passenger side door handle likes to go tango uniform on occasion. Usually when I am juggling groceries and my 15 month old daughter. Drives best with socks and sandals.

    Ooh, shiny! I seriously considered silver when I ordered my car, but there's so many silver cars on the road around here that it wouldn't stand out at all. I wanted something that would be easy to spot in a crowded parking lot.

    What's under the hood, Ahsoka's Tano?

    I'm not into mods (even at the pleads of my friends after first buying the car). It's the standard SXT model with a v6, 3.6 L engine. 305 hp. It's the silver color that's why I gave her the name "Eleanor"; though I understand the Shelby/Mustang fans would probably scream at me for sacrilege.

    No mods at all? Just try a couple of gloss black vinyl stripes; it's easy and you'll love it!

    Are the wheels stock too? Those look sharp. :cool:

    Well that picture was actually taken within several months since I bought the car back in '13. I just bought a pair of new tires a few weeks ago after my rear ones were going bald. If you look it up, you'll see the standard rims on a 2013 Challenger SXT are 18 in; and yet for some reason my car has 20 in rims. Set me back about $400.

    One good thing about silver is it doesn't show the dust as bad as red or black. (My Golf is silver).

    True story: A year before I got my 2013 Challenger, I was this close to buying an SXT Plus model; complete with leather and heated seats, moonroof, and heated mirrors. It was a shade darker than my current one. I signed all the documents, gave the salesman my driver's license, was one step from leaving with a brand new car. He walked away for about 10 minutes and came back to tell me the car had already been sold to another dealer. Needless to say, I didn't bother going to them when I went looking for a new car the following year.

    My *super* cool Honda Fit easily fit my brother's new 55" TV in the back. Along with a soundbar and PS4 pro.

    It isn't fancy, but the Fit is the best.

    So, you're saying your Fit is a good fit for you?

    If that's what you think, we'll have to revoke your dad card.
