CHALLENGER! everyone thinks its a charger though so its ok
|
You know after I posted that and left my computer I was wondering if it was actually a charger cause of the grill design, it wasn't as distinguished as the charger's grille. But I tried to read the name in the grille and thought I read Charger R/T but I guess it really is a Challenger R/T......So anyways...what year is it?
And take the front license plate off of it, it totally ruins the effect of the front!! Silly state laws!! LOL:D |
Bye Car
I have a 89 grey jeep cherokke as you can see by the spelling I have never driven it. Which is in part due to the fact that every thing on it does not work heres a list:
-Sunroof broken - Iginition pops out stuck to the key -I can move the steering colum 5 inches in any direction includin gout and in -Two flat tires I think I m just going to sell it for parts piece by piece and hopefuly get some car that move then work my way up to a muscle car( But thats when I actually have a job):D |

muscle cars
I am currently driving a 2002 Blue ZX2 with the premium sound package. It pumps 130 HP which is definately not bad for it's size and gas mileage (28 mpg). It has a Zetech engine to which ford did not do justice. These things are capable of 185 HP when just barely over emmissions. Ford is currently redesigning a little and you will see a 200 HP stock available in the SVT Focus in '03 I believe. Before my ZX2, I was driving an '01 Explorer with a 4x4 automatic. So far I enjoy my driving experiences. After college I plan on living in a crappy apartment and spending all my time in one of the '03 SVT Mustang Cobras that should be going into production soon. And to anyone that thinks ford doesn't make good cars, remember that the Ford GT-40 was the first american car to win the Le Mans. Too bad that Ferarri decided not to sell out to Ford, that would be a nice subsidiary. Also if you check out the SVT portion of Ford's site you will see a '94 svt mustang with a 429 Boss engine in it. The 429 is 10.0 Liter V-8 that can put out 855 HP bringing this car from 0-100 in 5.5 secs and finishing a 1/4 in 10.55 secs @ 135 MPH

It's kind of funny buying a car that was sold the year you were born. Tecnology has changed a lot in the automobile in 23 years. As far as human technology, eh...we're still pretty much the same! |
my first car was an '87 6000-LE Pontiac... her name was Ruby, but a bunch of ppl called it the pimp mobile, unfortunately, we had to junk her in january...::tear:: i loved that car....
now i'm drivin a '92 t-bird, and i hate it, but it's better than nothing... |
2001 VW Jetta.. Yeap everything is stock.. except the sound system...:D

drivin my wonderful '98 Ford Contour... lovingly called "Christine" a.k.a. the "80's pimp mobile". ;o) Christine was named after the Stephen King novel 'cuz it's like an unwritten law that every King fan has to name one of their cars after a novel of his. and since my car is red like the car in the novel, she got her name.

I have 3 vehicles. The newest is a 2002 Black Neon R/T. That's my daily driver. It's fun to drive. I also have a '89 Chevy 3/4 ton truck that I put a mildly built 350 in to haul my race car. I also put '88 Trans Am GTA Bucket seats in the truck, and a Pioneer sound system in. Got to be comfortable when crusin' down the highway!
My most prized possesion(besides this year's robot!!) is my '78 Z28 Camaro. She is no longer stock. I built a .070 over 454 for it. Put a Turbo 400 trans with a brake and 5500 stall converter. I also installed a Ladder bar coil over suspension attached to a Ford 9 in axle. The axle is braced and has Mark Williams axles. Last summer, the best E.T. and MPIH in the 1/4 mile was 10.40 @ 128 MPH on the motor. This year, upgrading the fuel system, and adding a Holley 1050 Dominator Carb. With new slicks she'll run 10.00 with some more tuning. Needless to say, I'm a serious horsepower junkie!! Love fast cars, snowmobiles, and of course robots!! |
After being on the receiving end of an accident this Christmas, I ended up needing a lot of body work. However, I did not have time before the end of Spring Break to get my car repainted... so right now, my '91 Thunderbird is nicknamed "The Patriot" for its blue fenders, white hood, and red body. Ah well, I suppose it's now our team mascot. :rolleyes:

Well I'm in Panama City, FL and the night that I arrive to my aunt and uncle's house, I went out and hit a racoon... Just say that the Racoon didn't make it and neither did my car. I ran over the racoon as it and into my car ( I tried to avoid him/her), it took out my radiator and front bumper.. I only have 3 inches of ground clearance. So it basically did ~$1000 worth of damage and it's been in the shop for 2 weeks now and I'm having a terrible time.. Blah!!! Stupid Racoon!!! oh well.. I guess driving my aunt's Toyota Echo isn't too bad.....:yikes: wait... what am I saying.... it's terrible.. it's a slow car, and the sound system isn't the same and it isn't my car!!! :ahh: Hopefully the car will be ready tomorrow.. they said that it would be.. ::Crossing my fingers:: Well anyways, just wanted to say that. Doh! hehe....... |

From what we have seen and experenced with our cars we believe that the CR-V is one of the most well desigined SUV's out there. With MPG's in the 24-27 range. To the large storage well under the picnic table which is stored under the carpet in the trunk, to the many other storage places, to the large open area between the front seats w/ fold down consoles, there is alot of leg room. It is also very easy to work on. I personally installed all my stereo equip, speakers took 10 mins stereo to an hour. We even have a large community, Check it out Honda SUV |

Electrical systems were just crap. They were always in the shop. Don't be too surprised. Jaguars have a reputation of being disaterous as well and the lowest rated car in customer stisfaction now are Humvees. Just because it comes with a big price tag doesn't always equate to a quality product. Truth be told of all the places he worked the cars that impressed him the most were Subaru's. You had to deny the things matinace and oil to kill them. They didn't break themselves. I will make sure and ask my stepdad alot of question before I buy the hybrid Escape (never buy a car in it's 1st year of production he said. Lot's of bugs to work out. So that's one strike against it). |

You know, this was intended as a thread to show what car you drive... not to argue about what kind of car is better. Everyone has their opinions, and I think this is just turning into a "my car is the best, and everything else sucks" type of discussion.

Gary, I'll take that challenge any day... |
I don't have a problem with people posting why their car is good, but I have a problem with people posting just to say GM is bad, or Jeeps are bad, or anything like that. There's no need to just have random, senseless argument. Go ahead and post why your car is awesome, but don't use this as just a place to slam your least favorite auto maker. It'll get really old, really fast.

My favorite things about it are the simplicity and bulletproof suspension. Ive redone all the mechanicals on it, and am painting it myself. Its my project. Im aiming to sell the beetle and get a porsche 912 2.0l Ohh, to the Jeep people, how many of you actually go off roading or need 4wd? My dad has a VW Vanagon Syncro Westy, yes, a rare 4wd VW, with locking rear dif, driveshaft decoupler and soon a locking front dif. Anyone in northern california want to do some off roading together? We will be nice and tow your Jeep out of the mud! Kevin |

Actually, I live in an area where the winters can get pretty icy, use the 4 wheel drive a lot during that time. And I also have to go into my grandfathers pastures several times, where the 4x4 comes in handy. As for pulling the Jeep out of the mud..we seem to be more than capable of doing that ourselves, especially when most Jeeps in my area have atleast 33 inch or 38 inch tires on 'em... |

I'd take that quoted challenge in my STOCK grand cherokee (ZJ) with the qudra-track. If ya can some to the MI area - or the Chicago area in a month we'll see. No POSI or locking diffs. All open.
