i duno anjube i just thought wouldnt you rather save up ur money and mod a possibly newer car

Bahaha not anjube?...his friend but trololol.

And man, can't stand driving new cars. Newest I will go would probably be a 1990's silvia, 180sx, 200sx...
But yeah, im an old car kinda guy (77' celicas, Z31 300zx's etc) =D

It's all integrated into the dash as a single unit with the climate control - no can do

If you don't mind modding your car slightly...you could have a quick look at this or this. Or you could use an FM Transmitter and stick it in the glovebox (I had one somewhere...wonder where it went)

 

[skyhawkmatthew]

Yeah, I've got an FM transmitter I use with my iPhone - but the audio quality through FM vs CD is such that I burn discs of albums I listen to a lot! I'd seen those mods - but so much effort for what ends up being a kludge anyway.

Fair call. I quite like the Z32 300ZX a lot (posted about it on BoS yonks ago) which is one more generation- it was the last of the Fairladys which weren't just prettied up to attract cashed up mainstream.

Dang that does make it sound difficult that there's no external CD changer/AUX in slot. On my 06 Civic I was able to use the CD changer with an iPod kit to get awesome quality sound.

I drive a Volkswagen Golf 118tsi and a Volvo XC60. Both have reverse parking sensors because I can't reverse park!

 

[seremify007]

My Benz is the first car I've had with parking sensors and wow it makes life so much easier. I feel so lazy now though.

Oh, and here's a photo I took today.

 

[Wight]

Parking sensors :S...
Geez, I don't even have aircon and airbags.

I have programmed fuel injection...and power windows (and the headunit I installed the other day). That's about as technologically advanced my car gets xD.

I really like that photo, looks sick in that lighting.

what the hell how big is your garage seremify

Agreed. That car looks totally badass.

 

[seremify007]

LOL it's not my garage- I had to drop my Mum off for lunch at Thornleigh and saw an ideal spot to take photos with lighting which only covered half the car. With a bit of luck I parked my car directly below it so the lighting hit the natural seam in the bonnet (i.e. the centre line) and then took a photo on the iPhone4. My gf edited it a bit to remove the background (there was only one car in the distance) and make it a bit darker and boom, it came out looking awesome.

 

[SnowFox]

I like your car.

 

[seremify007]

Thanks. I've been getting a lot of thumbs up (and random people touching my car based on the number of fingerprints) lately

My old beast of a brute of a boat of a car:

I've seen so many C63s at Pyrmont.

 

[seremify007]

One of my mates took out a personal loan to buy a C63. As tempting as it may be, I think I might hold off. Don't think I could justify spending $20k in interest each year on top of insurance and petrol.

 

[OMGITzJustin]

what model is your c-class? judging by previous photos, i presume a c200 or c250? also, why not the coupe?

C250 CDI. I went for the 4 door for practicality and I'm not a fan of 2 door 4 seater cars. I still remember when my cousins picked me up from the airport in a 645Ci and it was raining. They are big guys so I had to sit in the back and fitting the luggage was bad enough (I also wish they didn't install additional bracing/struts in the car), but climbing into the car after pushing seat forward in the heavy downpour was a real pain. If anyone's curious, it was at Singapore airport where the pick up area is not covered.

And now another one of my pals has bought a new C63 (well his parents did) as he got his fulls today. Very jelly but I guess it'll be a good many years before I spend big on a car I've decided. Time to start thinking of buying an apartment to live in.
