Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

      I test drove the 6 speed TL a few days and I was not very pleased. It had a comfortable ride and the power was not bad, but the clutch was very soft. Thats very annoying when do some aggresive driving.

        I believe the guy wants an automatic. I for one would get an Auto tranny on a 4 door sports sedan. It's not like you're going to take it racing. Unless its a high end model like an S4 or a M5.

          I've read some of the reviews for this car, and it looks pretty bad. A lot of complaint over the rear seats, the fact that it's engine is weaker than the new Camry's (which I don't know anything about, and how nothing is standard. You have to add on everything for this car, making the price jump to near $40,000. I'll have to test-drive it and see this for myself to see what decision I'll make. Anyone know how much a 5 series would cost out the door?

            BMW 5 series would likely be in the 50s if not more. What are you - an 18 year old kid - doing considering a BMW 5 series - thats an old persons car...and it certainly isn't a sports car - its an overly heavy luxo-tank. Get something fun - small and manueverble and fun to drive - and learn to drive a stick - a much more enjoyable and rewarding driving experience.

            The TL is FWD with gobs of torque steer, wheel hop under power (not good) and a diffucult to use clutch and shifter (really odd IMO). Otherwise its a very nice car - well appointed, comfortable, moderatly fast and it looks good. I like the G35 better (RWD for one). Another nice car might be the Mazda RX-8. It is lighter on its feet and more tossable/fun to drive then the G35 and nearly as fast. Not too familiar with the new Lexus IS300 but I bet its nice. If I was thining Audi I might hold out for the new A3. Cheaper then the A4 (which is a bit overpriced) and likely less of a road hog. Audis are very nice (I have a screaming 2001 S4 Avant) but Quattro (an awesome system - still the best performance wise IMO) makes them heavy - they really don't move out properly until they are modded. They also are unreliable - too many little things costing way too much money break too often....my air conditioning is out at the moment for instance - and its always something...

            I wouldn't recommend the base low end Mercedes - get in one and you will see why...also realibility now worse then Audi...3 series BMW much better car for the money.

            Suburu Legacy - new ones - seem nice and priced right - haven't driven one yet.

            Lots of nice cars really - but no need for a big hog car eh?

              ^ I was just wondering on the price, not for myself. Just seeing how different they are, but hell yeah, if it was cheaper I would definently get that.

              And about driving a stick, I can drive one pretty decent, but I don't want a stick car.

                Something interesting.. What's the difference between the 2004 BMW 5 series and the 2005 BMW 5 series? The body looks the same - unless something minor has been changed - has it? As far as the engine and everything goes, what's the difference? Because I was thinking.. My sisters friend wants to sell his '04 5 Series, and it looks like the new ones, and I wanted to know how much he was selling it for. He told my sister he would just hand over his payment- he pays $560 a month. Now.. The thing is. Let's say I took his payment. Instead of putting a down payment on my new car, can't I give some of that money to BMW or something, and lower my monthly payment of $560? If the '04 and the '05 are the same, I would want to do that. I also wanna know, let's say I was to lease the new 3 series for 5 years - with like a $3,000-$4,000 down - how much would that monthly payment be? If it's pretty much the same, shiiiit, I rather go for the 5 series.

                I may be sounding stupid and missing out something important, but someone let me know.

                  3 series is actually - in general - a much more sporty and fun to drive car then the 5. The 5 is a luxo-cruiser - not really a sport sedan. You really should drive these cars before making any decision.

                      I checked this car out in person today, for the first time. I only got to see the 330i, and it was ok. The interior wasn't so great but I'm sure with the right add's, it'll be fine. The backseats were ok, a little bigger legroom than the G35. I went to the one in Glendale and they were busy as hell with only 1 330i, so I didn't test drive it. Then I went to the one in Van Nuys and they had no 325i's available - so I didn't drive it there either. I still don't know. Still, don't, know.
