One of each trim level too. Ours is an SEL, the company car is an SE, and the dealer loaner is an SEL Energi

I've been out of town since last week, but my car needed some warranty work done. I didn't have time to drop the car off during working hours and the dealership offered to pick it up from me. I told them I was going out of town, but would leave the FOB in it and give them the door code. They let me know they picked it up and left a CMAX to drive until my car was done. I also have a CMAX company car until next week and my wife has a CMAX... Needless to say, it's CMAX parking only in my driveway.

I'm aware, but my eyes are super light sensitive and believe it or not it makes it easier for me to drive at night. It's a risk I'll take and I've been doing it for 10 years and have never been stopped for it. -
This should be a pretty good tank as well

I like your taste! I've owned a few Triumphs and always loved the RC51's

Love the Duc! My last street bike was a 2000 Triumph TT 600 that I purchased new. It wasn't the fastest but was cool because I rarely saw another. -
Marc Smith's thread about the kegerator made me think of a thread I posted in on a few other forums about man caves. A lot of cool fridge and entertainment areas were posted. Post yours! Here are some photos of my setup. Nothing crazy compared to others I've seen. I'll have to try to get some photos with a real camera rather than my phone. I'm pretty happy with the results. My dad and I did much of the work and it took a while, but it was worth it. I still need to install base molding and a few other things, but I'm enjoying it so far. This was it before... 100" screen with HD Projector. In person, it is about as clear as a HD TV. I change the posters up quite a bit, because my buddy works for a company that prints them for the theaters.. so I get them in advance Panoramic Wet Bar

Do you know who owns this car?
Ruby14SEL replied to scottwood2's topic in Sightings - C-MAX Hybrid's Spotted!
Definitely looks like Plastidip. You can get a spray can at any hardware store for around $7. I did the grille on my Fusion. I taped around it with blue painters tape. I also took a garbage bag and put it behind the grille to keep the dip off of the radiator and heat exchanger. -
Breaking news...the glass ceiling has been broken, 901 miles tank.

Wow, amazing! -
Thanks for the replies! I can't take the credit for the "good" driving. It's my wife's car and all but the short trip home from the dealer were put on by her.

What's the coolest car you've ever driven?
Ruby14SEL replied to Ruby14SEL's topic in Lounge: Off-Topic
Here are some of his others. These are videos I've done in the past. He always says you drive, I'll video :D [video=youtube] Notice the digital speedo in the top right corner of the display screen [video=youtube] -
I can't pinpoint just one.. I've driven several but here are a few A good friend of mine picked up a highly optioned McLaren MP4 12C and as always when he gets a new car asks if I want to come drive it and get some photos and videos. Of course, I never say no. The entire chassis is carbon fiber and aluminum. The car has a ton of other carbon fiber as well.. It weighs just over 2,800 lbs. and makes around 600 HP, so needless to say, it's quick! They are said to go low-mid 10's at mid-high 130's in the 1/4 mile in stock form. It stops on a dime as well with the huge carbon ceramic brakes and the wing assisted air brake which feels like a parachute coming out at speed.. It handles better than anything I've ever driven (including Ferrari's, GTR, Corvettes, etc.) 0-60 is about 3 seconds and the top speed is 207 mph. http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f81/saleenspeedster/DSC04035_zpsfa76c950.jpg http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f81/saleenspeedster/DSC04033_zps5d67c70d.jpg Unfortunately, my current laptop doesn't have any good editing software so the video isn't the greatest.

I've owned 30+ cars, but these are some of my favorites. 1990 Mustang GT - Bought when I was 15, about a month before I got my license. 1990 Corvette - Bought when I was 17 1996 Saleen Speedster - Bought when I was 18... Mods were offroad h-pipe, Flowmaster Catback, CAI, B&M shifter. 1999 Saleen Speedster - Bought new when I was 19... Mods were offroad h-pipe, Flowmaster mufflers welded into the Borla Catback, CAI, B&M shifter, 3.73 gear, Livernois tune. -
Other forums I'm on have threads about other vehicles and toys and it's cool to see what other people own or have owned. Current 2014 Fusion Titanium - Livernois Motorsports Dyno Tune, Eibach Springs, 5% tint sides and rears, 35% windshield, blacked out grille Club Car Gas Golf Cart - Stock A few weeks later - Mods are lift kit, wheels & tires, new seats, finished dash, painted roof, billet steering wheel, and some speed mods (it went 11 mph stock and goes about 25 mph now) Rare 1988 JDM (Japanese) YSR 80. There are very few in the US and the US models were 50's. I sold the Saleen in 1999, to buy a new Saleen, but still have the YSR. I've had several over the years, but this is the only 80 I've owned and still have. We got it from Japan in about 1994 when I was 14 and it was shipped here in a crate via airplane.

Thanks! I can't take credit, all but a few miles were put on by my wife. I'll try to get a photo next time.

Last month, we picked up a 2014 SEL Hybrid for my wife. It's our first hybrid vehicle and I'm impressed with the fuel economy and spacious interior. The first tank was all city driving with exception of the 20 mile trip home from the dealership and we got 640 miles on the tank. -Rick

Thinking about getting light tint (35%) on my wifes C-MAX. I've been tinting my cars for 10 years and it's hard to drive a car without it. My wife likes it, but wants it lighter than my Fusion. Here is a quick photoshop I did of what I think it will look like with light tint Much lighter than my fusion... which has the sides and rears 5% and the windshield 35% -
