Hi guys, I'm really excited! After driving my mom's Cielo(by Daewoo) I decided to get one for myself, since it's on GPL (gas) and regular fuel[here gas costs 25% less then fuel], so I can afford driving it around. It isn't quite brand new, but it's in really good shape. Got it for 3.5K Euros, which isn't really allot ( a new one is about 7K, but seeing that this is in really good shape, I got it for a sweet deal ). Here's some pictures I just took, tell me what you think:







Edit: Got my license in late September I think, that's why I have the little yellow circle with the exclamation mark on the windows.

Not for me either.

I don't quite know how to translate "Gaz" and "Benzina" into english! Their both combustible, but one is more like liquid (fuel) while the other one is a Liquifed Gas!

Nice, a class mate of mine bought a Ford Escort a few month ago! It really is a sweet car! He kinda did some changes to it and tuned it allot, but I remember driving it when he got it! Really really good control!

Benzina is gasoline, or "gas" as we call it in the US, or Petrol if you're um, somewhere else. Benzina, I dunno, I wasn't aware there were cars that run on what we might call "natural gas" which we say when we refer to methane or perhaps propane which we generally just call propane, I don't know what kind of gas you're talking about.

So um, yeah, I'm looking for a new car too! perhaps i'll post pictures when I get one.

Pretty sharp ride! I see an umbrella, but where's the fuzzy dice?!?!

My first car was a Tempo. It didn't like the off-roading/rock climbing competitions, but it managed them anyway... I wouldn't suggest doing any of these things though...

There's something in this room that makes you can't speak well.

You got it in reverse, not GPL but LPG, stand for Liquid petrolium Gas. In the UK its chepper than normal petrol, normally old range rovers and cars alike are converted to run on it and they take a huge ammount of fuel.

Haha, it's GPL in Romanian (Gaz petrolier lichefiat). Kinda similar to the english version. I have it both on benzine and LPG, usually only driving on LPG since it's cheaper.

All you gotta do now is turn it over to Pimp My Ride so they can add 500lb subwoofers in the backseat and attach a dozen TVs to it.
