Cars of Mac users

Just out of curiosity, and since no one seems to have bought it up,

What kind of cars do MAC users drive ? Will we be able to see a pattern there ? A few similarities ?

Could be Interesting.

Shall we ??

Golf GTi, fully loaded.
Bought it cos it goes fast and had iPod intergration. (although I find the sound output a bit weak and tinny anyone else have same problem?)

Why not the new Evo X? they're here in the UAE and selling for 155,000.

I drive a HIGHLY modified Dodge Charger R/T. Black with black tail lights, black head lights, black fog lights, and black rims. Thats my pattern. :-P

i like the charger. I've seen the SRT versions in Sharjah, dunno if the dealers will service them, but its got the same engine as the SRT chrysler 300 they have here. They were sellin the chargers for 125,000. good price for the performance.

Didnt know the EVO X was out here. Are they at the agents or other spec imports ?

No, the agents havent gotten them yet (Al habtoor doesnt actually sell Evos here, but they'll special order you one). importers in Al Ain have them advertised in auto trader for the price I listed. worth it for that engine. in the US I had an Eclipse GST (Same engine as an Evo 6) and God is that a dream engine to toy with.

My charger RT cost me 131,000 2 years ago. today htat same car costs 155,000. (So the day of the 125,000 V8 American monster are long gone) the SRT8 jeep and 300C are sold here by the dealer (199,000 and 212,000 each!!! which is highway robbery) but not the charger for reasons that they never made clear to me. you can get them in Al Ain or Sharjah for 175,000 but the dealer assured me that they would not honor a day's worth of the warrenty.

So I just started modifying my R/T. It handles better than an SRT8 and has (currently) 10 extra horse power (give or take) as well, so I have a huge smile on my face. The dealers think they have us where hey want us. they dont. I have options. the internet is wonderful for that.

That is true, but as well all know the BMW is the Mac and the Mercedes is the PC (And the Audi is Linux while we're at it)

730, 745, or 750? Either way my dad (who is 54) drives a 745 so to me thats always been an old person car :-P
