What do you drive?
 

I looked through all the old threads and was surprised to learn no one had started this already.

Which cages are in your garage / carport / driveway? Daily drivers, toys, whatever.

Mine: 2006 Dodge Dakota ST - 4.7L V-8 w/ 6-speed manual

I have a 1995 Mazda Miata up on jack stands, too... soon to be for sale, after I install the new timing belt.

2004 Dodge Ram 1500. 4.7L V8. Horrible gas mileage. 4X4 with 392 gears.

Bleech boring 02 V6 Camry with a bazillion miles on it. Runs great though. If I ever sell my summer home (code for the house the ex and I had together) I'm getting another car !!

My 3 cars right now.. Not sure what I want to do with all of them.. The truck is just used to carry shit, pull shit out of the ground, and get around in feet of snow..

The 2003 Honda S2000 is fun to drive however I've had it for 3 yrs and might be looking for something new soon.

And the Beater (92 Honda Civic LX) is at 191,000 miles and still kickin strong. I love that it averages me 40mpg city and highway combined with a respective 40/60 mix.

Looking to buy a Camaro next year tho.

Wanna sell the NSX?

Not presently. The only car I really lust for over it would be an old 70's aussie falcon. Not too many of those imported :lol:

2009 Dodge Ram 2500 Cumins

I read this and the first thought in my head was "yeh thats about right for him"

When did you get it and how much did you pay(if you don't mind)? Any more info on it, like what was done and miles n such?

Also, I've heard a few people who went from s2000 to NSX and went back to the s2000.. Have you driven an S.. Thoughts on both?

I think I bought it back in 06'. It was all stock and I paid 24k for it. I've since added (from front to back)
Cc carbon front lip
Sos short shift stalk w short shift adapter and mugen knob + nsx r boot
Carbing strut brace
Cc headers (taitec knockoff)
Punched cats
Cc gt light exhaust (taitec knockoff)
Rc 250cc injectors
Taitec rear diffuser (dumb people think my bumper is missing)
Buddy club 10k/12k coilovers

In this state its dyno'ed 270hp 210tq and run a best of 13.1 @ 108 @ atco

It gets attention, but not as much as you think. Lot of people think its a camaro (black roof) handling is excellent and she's very well balanced. Only real fault is the american spec five speeds have a crazy long second gear.

Former roomate had an ap2 and we used to swap cars once in a while. Handling is almost as good, little more confidant being an fr vs an mr. Doesn't sound as cool. Nowhere near as fast or as torquey. Engine always felt like it was being held back by something. Maybe flywheel weight, idk. Cool car but I wouldn't swap :)

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...0vAyyHW_fs.jpg

:)

Guess I could add that all of mine are 5 speeds too, which surprises most people.

Our Legacy is also a 5-speed - we had to get the dealership to look all over the northeast for one. What a PITA but we didn't want it in auto! It's really fun to drive

After all the crap you talk about GM being the best car company ever, these are what you drive? :lol:

Just an old truck.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y27...X/IMG_0934.jpg

Pimp ass old truck

Crazy isn't it.redflip

The Malibu lease expired and I needed a new cheap lease. Wanted the Cruze, but it was 6 months too late. Prolly get a Camaro next year if I can swing it. Maybe I can get the 3500 cash for clunkers pseudo deal for the Trooper. lol Thing is cool as shit though...tuff little SUV. When Japan made full frame tuff trucks with tough suspensions.

I have a 1998 Ford F-150 extended cab ( you can take the girl out of the country)
its got like 160,000 miles on it. Runs like a champ still 4.6 V-8

Leon pimps his 02 Caddy Deville...

She's a survivor. 140k on the stock 305 and trans. Runs better than my 99 Tahoe did.

We're enjoying the smaller cars with better MPG.

i don't hate him, but i sure want to go visit him and cruise in the boat. LOL

here my DD is an '08 Wrangler
hers is an '07 HHR
hunting and hauling is handled by an '02 F150

i have a boat as well but nearly as pretty LOL it's a '79 Avenger 15 ft speed boat.

Nope, I have since I first learned about all the toys he has.

I don't hate him, but I damn sure want his job or one that pays like it. :lol:

Mine had to come from WV, the next closest was NC or SC, then NY. I wanted a certain color too but was a little willing to give on that as long as I had the manual.

I'm there too! Now I really wished I would have met him but I see why he didn't have time for me - too many toys!! LOL.

Exactly. I say we all just make a rally at his house.

Cayman S

i know i could talk the better half into that one, she's from NC. always good to go visit family right?

sooooo who's going to start a new thread about the upcoming rally at z06's house? think we should ask him first?

nah easier to get forgiven rather then permission

Now we KNOW you're married!!! :lol::lol:

What do you pull this with?

Do you keep it docked at Norman?

Ski any? or is the back too fubar'd for that?

The man is clearly doing well financially and lives in NC. I'd be willing to bet he has a pretty serious arsenal. I'm not showing up at his place unannounced.

2005 Scion xB the Toaster. 150k miles and still truckin. I love that stupid thing.
2002 Mazda B3000 piece of shit but it runs....most the time.

Next year we plan to add a Subaru Outback. It just sucks because to get a manual, you have to get the smaller engine. Oh well. I don't exactly require a lot of horsepower. :lol:

Get the turbo if it's available. You won't miss the extra displacement, believe me.

he's a biker, the sound of anything on two wheels gets him to let down his guard. Show up on bikes then we sneak in to "talk bikes" after that it's all fair game. LOL

They did away with the XT for 2010. So she'd have to find a 2009 or older.

its worth it, that engine loves to be force fed

Damn. Well the '09 is still very nice...

Hows the transmission feel about all this business?

i have had to replace a clutch recently, but other then that as long as you are not a complete idiot and clutch drop, doughnuts or other shit to try and beat it up, its held up nicely, esp since the 2002, 2003 were known to be weaker i havent had a issue, the newer trannys were improved in 2004

I actually really like the look of the 09. Will keep that in mind.

Agreed... better to do and beg for forgiveness later.

GF drives a 04 Grand Am GT

That's allot of truck

Yes it is, and I love it. Got reminded again today why I drive it. Went in to work and didn't feel a thing with the winds. Got in the g-ride ('10 Grand Caravan) and just about got blown off the road! Amazing how 8k worth of pickup will keep you glued to the road. :rockwoot:

If you ever have problems with your fiesta, just give me a shout. I'm sure the two of us could throw it in the box and get you wherever you need to go! :lol:

Subaru boxer lower ends aren't very good because the bearings are fairly small. Force feed it and it exacerbates the issue.

Yeah right Cutty, but you're a little out of the "need help" zone.

He'd do it just to drive the beast there :lol

True story!

And besides Gas, you know you like to get lost from time to time. :lol

What year Avalanche? I want one of the new ones BAD, in white. I just dont want to pay 40k+.

Cayman S is a hell of a car too. One of my customers has one, he let me sit in it and start it up once. No drivey drivey tho....

Just saw this...been away from here for the last week. Some of these replies are :rofl:.

I think the pic makes it look bigger than it actually is. :lol:

I have not pulled it with anything...when I traded my last boat and trailer in I did not purchase a trailer for this particular boat since I rarely ever used the last one.

It is dry docked at a marina on Lake Norman. Believe it or not the Liberty I bought can tow it although I wouldn't want to tow it often with that vehicle. It has a 5,000 lb. towing capacity and this boat with a trailer would be less than 4,000 lbs. Yes you can ski behind it. I've pulled skiers but I'm not a big skier...I'm fine with one of those canvas covered tubes and such. :lol:

It's a tad over 25' with the added swim platform and would have been 23' without it.

Here it is at the marina being put away...

http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...oatPics037.jpg

Here is where it sleeps...on the top row so I don't have to worry about other boats leaking crap on mine.

As far as the other comments...don't hate :lol: We don't have kids...I'm older than most of you here and I usually find good deals on stuff luckily. He11 the cars are kind of old now anyways but they're in good shape and paid for so we keep them. :idk:

I've seen some of the stuff other members have posted in various threads and :dribble: often !! :rockwoot:

if im not mistake doesnt the EJZ257 engine have the larger bearings, and thats what the XT uses?

Is that the one that can be seen from 77?

No this is Westport Marina off of Hwy 16 between Charlotte and Denver.

Wow...Norman is so much more populated than when we had OUR place down there as a kid.

We were WAY up north near the mouth. (long island) and there were very few houses ON the water up that way back then....had to travel down into the coves to see houses.

We had (have) a 21ft dixie in the bottom of pops basement that we use to take out and play on. But it hasn't seen the water in 3 years :skep: And that was down at their place on tuckertown.

You are right about that !! I bought this boat from Long Island Marina. You would think the land is gold now...expensive as all get out and yes getting way over populated.

The wife and I just closed on a couple of acres yesterday closer to the mountains on a small lake (Rhodhiss). It sits between Lake James and Lake Hickory and they aren't nearly as populated as Norman. Luckily Norman is large and I know it well enough to get away from people when I want to.

03. It's having problems, I absolutely abuse it and it's all caught up with it. Looking at an 05+ Titan or 09+ Ram. Very versatile truck, does the work of a much larger truck without needing the giant parking spaces.

And then you post another pic that makes it look even bigger :lol:

Sitting on a fork lift ? If anything that should show that it must NOT be that big...right ? :lol:

Judging by some of the comments in this thread...some may have thought it was bigger/more expensive than it actually is. :idk:

It's a decent boat/toy for the $$ and we really enjoy it but it's sure no Cigarette boat for sure. :lol:

Me - 2008 Honda Ridgeline RTL
ONSSP - 2002 Buick LeSabre Limited

Good question..don't know. I'd have to ask my bud who is a Subaru nut...

How do you like that? How's it on gas?

I really liked them when they came out and tried to encourage my FIL to get one....but he heard they were worse on gas than a full size chevy :tremble:

The Ridgeline's fuel economy is not so great but neither is my Liberty's...about 17 mpg combined I believe.

The Ridgeline 4x4 is another vehicle I considered when I bought my Liberty. I checked out another forum members Ridgeline and overall liked it pretty much. It has some cool features I liked...plus the fact that it's a Honda.

Currently im driving an '06 Impala. Looking to trade that for an older 4x4 truck, and since im finally going back to work in 2 weeks, im planning on selling the bike and buying a 4 wheeled coffin. '96-'99 vipers (Both the GTS and RT10) are going for around 25k (+-3k) (cdn), with very low mileage up here, and I want one, bad.

4 wheeled coffin :lol:...I guess with that much power/torque and no traction control...that makes sense. The GTS and RT10's are some badazz rides. :rockwoot:

The only Viper I've driven was an SRT10 and had a blast. It stuck like glue too. The only thing I didn't like was the interior heat...hot as fvck inside the car BUT being up in Canada that won't be as big of an issue anyways.

I swung by a local car get together a few weekends ago and this thread reminded me of a few Vipers that were there...

Crap...just realized I screwed the first pic up bigtime...oh well... :wtfru:

http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...y/IMG_0415.jpg

http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...y/IMG_0375.jpg

I had the pleasure to sit in one with a 2 inch down, 2 inch back seat modification. Im 6'4", and there was plenty of room. The conversion was only 500$. Started looking around, and saw that the prices were much, much lower then I expected, on cars with anywhere from 7-20k Kilometers on them.

Selling my harley would pay 70% of that, I can finance the rest. I'm in love.

Work:2008 F150 Crew Cab
Personal:2007 Silverado Crew Cab

I'm only around 6' so that seat modification sounds like the ticket for you.

Sounds like a good plan to get an awesome ride. :cheers:

Ya, well, tbh, I dont find my HD that much fun, wont get another 1000cc sportbike until im old enough to be scared of it, but really need a summer toy.

Then I met buddy with the viper, sat in it, went home to change my cumstained underwear, and started checking out autotrader.ca and a few other sites, lol.

:rofl: :rofl:

I found one with an ROE supercharger, and ROE forged internals, upgraded breaks, suspension, airbox, clutch... 820HP, 785lb/ft torque. 40k USD, down in goergia. If only I had 40k and was allowed in the USA.

:rofl:

Humm...maybe I'll go check it out...just kidding but since some think I'm money bags ...I WISH !!!

That would be a fun toy for sure. A local company modifies them. They used to do mainly Mustangs...then Vipers...then Ford GT's and now are into the Lambo's. :dribble:

www.undergroundracing.com

Viper...
http://www.undergroundracing.com/veh...dge-viper.html

Gas is the only thing I don't like about it... The trunk is killer and it's a damn comfortable ride...

I average about 14mpg, but I can't keep my foot out of the thing... it helps that it's a bit under-powered. My old man gets around 17mpg on average around town... 20mpg on the highway.

Italian Supercars are amazingly beutiful, but you'd literally tear the shit out of it at legal speeds in Eastern Canada. The roads are too bumpy. Where a corvette or viper as 4 inches of clearance stock, an Enzo has less then half of that. Cold weather = cracked pave. Cracked pave = dead supercar.

Oh man, if only I had the cash. It is stunning. Its a 99 GTS, red, and sexy as hell. But my price range is between 25-30k (of which there are plenty out there), and its gonna be at least 6 months before everthing is straightened out and I can sell the HD. Though its worth quite a bit more then I owe right now, ill have a year left to pay in March.
