My Vehicles
 
I get to drive 2 different cars...(since i have a brother)

The first truck i got was a 1990 Ford Bronco II: Eddie Bauer Edition; my brother and i use it for bad weather (mainly snow). Nothing can seem to slow it down and boy is 4x4 fun :). When i mow lawns or whatever i use it to haul stuff around...

Also have a 1994 Olds Cutlass Supreme 2 door as seen below..This is what my brother and i normally drive to school and take on longer trips. It's pretty nice, excellent condition...

:)

DanLevin247 22-05-2002 18:58

A supra engine? You gotta be putting me on....You wouldn't be able to fit a supra engine into the Cressida! A cruddy car pulling 400HP? Your'e lying thru your'e teeth.

A stock Cressida comes with a Inline 6 engine just like the Supra's. It isn't quite as powerful but it is certainly close.

Deej 22-05-2002 20:58

I am the happy and PROUD owner of 2, count em, 2 El Caminos! The "Winter Edition" is a 1982 Black El Camino with a 305 V-8, dual exhaust, twin buckets outta a 1986 MR-2, and a crazy sound system. The "Summer Edition" is a 1980 El Camino in a Midnight Blue, that is a convertible (you'd have to see the pics or talk to me about that one), with a 350, buckets outta a Monte SS, a rear bench, carpeted bed, a sunroof, floor shift, and another crazy sound system. Don't go knockin an Elky until you've either driven one, or cruized around in one!

Suike 22-05-2002 21:02

Currently I'm rollin in my 1992 Mustang Coupe but I am also working on my project car to drive by next school year, a 1987 Mustang T-Top Hatch with 1989 (more HP) engine swap, MAC Full exhaust including headers and h-pipe. All I need to do is get a new interior (black) get the car painted (blue) and then find me 5-Star wheels and GT ground fx. I already got my clear tails (not euro, just clear with red bulb) and all clear head lights.

As for my parents, my mom drives a 1995 Mustang Cobra Hardtop/Convertible (very rare, 1 of 499) and my dad has a 1995 Mustang Cobra R that he races. We used to have the 2000 Cobra R (see pic below) but my dad sold it to help with his buisness but ended up just taking most of it and putting it into the 95 R. And btw... my dad buys/sells/races/lives Mustangs. www.mustangmotoring.com << our site created by me :)


My car being fixed up this summer.

My dad's old 2000 Cobra R.

KellyT180 22-05-2002 22:02

I drive a 1999 Red Mustang Coupe. I got is as a sweet 16th Birthday present. So far I only have a system in it (2 10's with 600 watts and a Pioneer 7400Mp Head Unit). It's not too bad, spanks most of the Hondas here and most of the guys.. haha.. I was planning to get a Lexus IS300 for my graduation gift, however, I plan just to keep this car and do modifications to it, for example: Cobra R Chrome 17x9s, Maybe Euro Style lights, White Hyperlite, Ichiban White Ground Effect Kit, and maybe some Xenon Body Kit and Flowmaster 2 1/2 Cats stainless steel tips. Oh yeah, also, I plan to put in 2 7" LCD Screens into my Visors and a playstation 2.. but don't know about the playstation yet.. My cd player can play DVD's.. I just need a screen to play it on.. just what I plan to do with the looks.. I might do an engine swap (more HP) probably a 302 V-8. Would be a nice roar! and maybe even Nos... 25-75lbs.. anything over that would blow up my car.. but I doubt that I would get Nos.. since I won't be racing at Moroso anytime soon.. haha.. :D

Andy A. 22-05-2002 22:08

My car is currently a very old, very ugly VW cabriolet (convertable!). I call it the duck. I love it. It was fished out of a lake and ended up in our drive way. Go figure. It burns oil as fast as gas and doesn't like reverse. But its mine, all mine!

But, when I need something with a bit more pick up, I turn to the '91 convertable Miata. It has the power to weight ratio of the space shuttle and corners like a cat. Lots of fun on back roads, I highly suggest you drive one if at all possible.

When I need even more power, or to pick up a date, I beg and plead for the keys to the '01 Audi TT. No, it doesn't happen often, but it's more then worth the loss of dignity. 220 HP, convertable, 6 speed tranny and steady as a rock. Not to mention being one of the sexiest looking cars money can buy.

In case you couldn't tell, my family has a thing for fast convertables. :rolleyes:

I have a "job," too, and put my money in a "bank," but then I have to pay "taxes," and "bills," and "college" isn't free...in the end, i drive a blue 1990 Buick Century Limited Edition, minus the front driver's side hub...should really replace that...oh well...I'm jealous...I wish I had a Mustang...

Dan Sforza 22-05-2002 22:56

Hey Elgin,

I drive a 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme S/L its got a 3.1 V6 with a K&N air cone, duel flow master exaust, 18" rims, ground effects, blue ground lighting, fog lights,

I am planning on adding:
a low profile spoiler, black lights inside carbon fiber trim, stobe lights in the lowbeams, night rider led lights under the front bumper, two 10" infinity subs, and a 6 speaker infinity system, with a 400 watt infinity amp, and a huge cap... anything else?

2000 Hyundia Elentra Wagon
 
It gets me to work and back and I get a five year warranty(I bought it used) with 10 free oil changes(8 to go). It serves my needs(I neded something with long trunk space so I could transport large canvases that I tend to like to work on(My current commision is 3x5 feet). BTW whats wrong with an Escape? Very fine vehicle and I'd die if I had one!:D

When mommy and daddy don't pay for everything.. like college.. then you have to save and save to eventually make a life for ourselves.. and a car isn't exactly on the top of my priority list @ this moment..

I drive a Silver '97 Chrysler Sebring LX Coupe.

It's all stock and everything, since I'm not much of a car geek. . . except for the stereo :) I've got an in-dash CD/MP3 player and 8 disc changer in the trunk.

As is, it'll *still* blow the doors off most of the awful Hondas around here. It can *almost* keep up with an RSX :) I get scared at about 85. :p

If I knew how the internal combustion engine worked, I'd make it go faster. . .

KellyT180 23-05-2002 19:07

Don't get Infinity Subs! They suck! They aren't worth your money and you will be buying new onces in the shortest amount of time.. Go with Sony (MTX), JL Audio, AudioBahn, and Rockford Fosgate. I recommend those and all my friends have one of them. The 10's sounds alright but won't get the really low bass but if you get 12's AudioBahn or JL will sound the best.. if you tune them right.. And that's just my $.02. :D

TravisCarpenter 23-05-2002 20:26

i dont have my own car yet, but when available i drive our giant chevy conversion van:-) go ahead laugh.... most of those conversion vans you see are probably just paching the regular vortec 360 that comes stock in those. not mine however. it is a 1999 Chevrolet Express Conversion Van that has been customized by a company called Custom Craft. My van however has the Megatow package which includes the 7.4 liter 454ci vortec. still laughing? even better, the interior is loaded with a fold down lcd tv, vcr, wood finish, fold down couch which runs on none other than seat motors. you may still be laughing, but it is hard for most people to respect the "turd" (it is a dark brown color) until they have seen the inside and experienced its raw chevy power. in fact, it has been known to eat small sunfires, concordes, and even the dodge ram sport with the 318 v8, 3 times in a row:-)

this van is our cruiser:-)

Actually, I was looking at the ST-4 from Ducati, and they don't perform as well as the BMW K 1200RS. Read the specs on both bikes. BMW 1200cc 130 Horsepower. The top speed is around 180 MPH. I'd love to see your Ducati try and keep up with me on the Autobahn.

Both are very nice bikes.

Hmm.. i was lookin @ the BMW site and it says the GROSS WEIGHT on that thing is 500kg, that comes out to 1100lbs.. and its 130 hp.. so if the Ducati is 500lbs and has 117hp.. lets do some math... 200lb person on BMW... 1300lbs.. so for every 1 hp its got to move 10lbs... then its 500lbs plus 200lb person.. 700lbs and 117 hp.. each 1 hp only has to move 5.9.. we'll say 6 lbs.. simple ratios prove that the ducati is overall more powerful.. given.. i got the BMW weight from squinting at their poor excuse for a brochure displayed in Acrobat.. but i think i'd take my Ducati... :D PLUS.. its like 8 grand cheaper...

muscle cars and classic cars
 
1 Attachment(s)
alright how come nobody drives any muscle cars or classics. (btw the only thing close to a muscle car in the true meaning of muscle cars are the corvette, camaro, and viper.) i read a little bit about a 66 mustang but thats about it.

now i love american cars, especially the muscle that came out in the 50's, 60's, and 70's. These cars, at the hieght of their popularity throughout the 70's, came with around 400 hp stock. now with a few options on the engine you could be getting a 500+ hp car from the showroom floor. These cars were actually not that expensive when inflation is figured out. These kind of cars are not made anymore sadly enough, but true carguys will always restore them.

right now im in the middle of getting my lisence, and i practice driving in a 92 olds cutlass supreme. but my dad, who grew up in the 60's and 70's always loved classics and muscle cars. hes owned alot of muscle cars (when i say alot i mean 19). he would restore them and sell them to guys who didn't know how to restore cars. the money he made would go to the next car restoration.

the last classic he owned was a yellow 1932 ford coupe (like in american graffiti) way back in 1990. he sold it and if i wasn't 5 at the time i would have stopped him.

So now to the question of what will i be driving?

i will be driving a 1955 chevy bel air. It is a former drag car from california. the attachment is what it looks like now. as you can see no rust, no major body damage at all.

this is what i hope it ends up looking like:


planning on dropping (if we can afford it) a 454 big block in it. if not we got a 350 small block waitin. id like to keep the paint how it is and the interior. everyone would think the car would suck just because the paint does. but it would really be just one kick butt drag car. so i could pull up next to a toyota or honda or any other import and just leave it at the light. (i dont like imports at all, chevy all the way)

In Ontario it's the first stage of a drivers liscence. You can drive the car on any non-freeway road, and you must have a liscenced driver with at least 4 years experience in the front passanger seat at all times.

A G2 is the next step...After you pass your 'G1 Exit Test' you get your G2. With a G2 you can drive on any road, any time, with anyone. It is basically a full drivers liscene (except your blood alcohol level must be 0...rather than 0.08%).

A G is a full liscence.

My dad hit his midlife crisis and went out and bought one of these.

civics
 
I've just been surprised that about half the responses haven't been civics. It seems like here in Delaware just about 3/4 of the kids drive them.

Harrison 27-05-2002 22:11

ewwwwwww...Civics...

There are a few of them here...not too many tho.

Yes! That is #8, Scott Sharp, one of my favorite IRL drivers. I think he would have won the Indy 500 this year if he hadn't had mechanical problems mid-race.

We have all sorts of Civics here.. They all suck.. all the guys "try" to make them different but they all end up looking the same. Body Kit, Intake, Exhaust (who let the bee in the can again?), and system.. the only thing that makes them different is the color of their car.. some of them.. I hate them and I spank all of them off the line and in 1/4 mile.. haha! Anyways.. if you have a civic.. I'm sorry.. :-\

my wonder truck!
 
My b-day gift vehicle was a 1996 Dodge Ram extended cab 4x4, short box, all white, independent shocks, 2" lift, off-road kit, front brush guard, flame accessories inside and out. CD player, Infinity speaker system, and enough power to go into battle against a Hummer! (It also comfortably transports two robots!)

MY RIDE
 
I drive a 89' Mercury Topaz with only 54,000 miles on it. Not as nice as the Mustang or the Lexus, but hey a car is a car.

Got Milk?
 
Yes, you have just read what you thought you had read. I'm the proud owner of a 92' Chevy cav.........aka the COW MOBILE.
My car has cow seats, cow steering wheel cover, white and black dice, cow air fresheners, cow dream catcher with cow bells on the ends, stuffed cows in the back seat, but most of all the huge cow that is hugging my back break light. That is the funniest thing to have people stop behind you and see the look in their eyes when they are met by my cow!! Don't forget though with the cows you've gotta have your country music blared..... * Lone Star *

Quain 31-05-2002 06:48

o wow.. that.. definitely deserves only one word... "hick"... *grin*.. naw.. just messin.. but that is pretty weird. What made ya "cow-ize" your car?

I Live In The Ghetto
 
Yeah you could say I am a hick, but if anyone has ever seen my team party they know we like to party. I go to a city school where you could say it's pretty ghetto. I'm the only person that I know that listenes to country in my school. I am a vegitairan and I love cows, so I got that car and decided to walk on the danergerous side of the road. I get some pretty crazy stares, but it's all fun and games!! :o)

I used to have an 81 Dodge Ram 350 V-8, it was a beast but it got totaled and I ended up with the pos accord. It's an 86 with a decent stereo in it but it's not a ricer (I'd never show my face again if it was). It's an ok car even though it's only a 4 cylinder and I live in the mountains (their isn't a lane slow enough for me when I'm going up hill). I really miss the power of my Dodger! I have been privy to ride in a 2nd generation RX-7 lately... and my little cousin has a 1st generation that she hates... it could become mine if I play my cards right and get rid of the accord! The other car that is in dispute between my mother and I is MY 77 Cadi Sedan Deville. I love that car! All leather interior, stock radio that still works (for those of you who care it is an 8-trak player and I do own 8-traks) We call it the bannana boat because it's yellow. Incase you haven't noticed I'm a fan of bigger vehicles, speed isn't everything if your car crumples into a little ball. It's fun to rev the engine in big vehicles and watch the little ricer drivers squirm. I will say my dream car is a Jeep Scrambler (C-J 8) or a Hemi Baracuda, I am more of a fan of the 383's. Any questions?

I have a 1989 Nissan Maxima. Its a decent car (made it to the Silicoln Valley regional and back to LA several times with no problems). And it has decent accleration although, my dad's 2002 Maxima SE (which i drive whenever he is not driving it) is a lot nicer and faster.

91 Geo Storm

At teh moment it has the SOHC engine in it, but I have located a DOHC engine an hour away that I am contemplating droping in.
But can I live without a car for the week for 4 that it will take me?
hmmm....
Realistic next thing: cone air filter

Mods so far are mostly audio.

Awia CDC-MP3 head unit. Don't like it much, takes 2 minutes or so to read a MP3 cd before it will play it. I've had it since the day it became available tho and it was the first mp3 player that was around here. Infinity Kappa speakers. Two of these in the back, and a pair of these up front planned for when I get a job again.

And the paint job. This was done by teh previous owner. $40 of spray paint and 4 hours of a Saturday afternoon. Three years later, it still looks good. ^_^

Chicks dig it. Apperantly, so do people at my school. It got the most votes for worst car, as well as top 10 for best car. ^_^
