What Do You Drive?

[Monocrom]

Here is my 1987 Buick Grand National and the 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 tow pig.

Last of the true muscle cars. Born after its time. But what a fantastic ride.

2004 F-150. First new truck I have ever owned. Really Built Ford Tough.

[Toohotruk]

Good looking Ford...much better than the newer body style.

 

[dazarooney]

I drive a Honda Civic but would like to get something different.

 

[booky]

7th gen Honda Accord.

Upgraded stock headlight bulbs with some Silverstar Ultras.

 

[Dr Evil]

I have a 2009 Mazda 6i Touring and 1997 F150 XLT. I'll post some other pictures of the truck once the website they're on works.

The truck:
teal
reg. cab
flareside
4wd
4.6L
crap-o-matic
no lift
headers with custom dual exhaust

I'll probably be trading it in for a 2003 or 2004 of the same body style later this year. I want extended cab with 2wd. Hopefully I can find one with the 4.6 and manual transmission.

The car:
Sangria Red with black interior
Moonroof & Bose package
Convenience Package
Manual Transmission
2.5L
20% tint

well i'm gonna catch flack from some 'green-minded' members here hehe...but i simply refuse to drive anything made after 1969 or so...hard to keep the tank full [92-93 octane premium only] in my rides living on disability but the blast i have drivin' 'em is worth the lack of $ for everything else...hope i got this photo posting right...

first my hopped-up, stripped down '79 sporty...pic taken back in 1986 in va beach while doing a stint for uncle sam...only photo i have of it, taken right after i snapped the chhain doin' one wheelie too many hehe...the mill was stroked to almost 74ci [1200cc] and it had 2" shortie drag pipes/no mufflers....that's a garter from a cute friendly stripper at a local strip joint wrapped around my right handlebar, for luck... };->

now to 2004 and my '68 cutlass daily beater while it was still nice...photo taken about a year after i bought it...i beat the hell out of it and had a blast doin' it but finally blew up its 350 mill in 2005 while at w.o.t. on a freeway...

new mill in my daily driver circa early 2005, a hopped-up 455 bored 0.40 over with torker 2 intake, 870 cfm holley carb, msd pro-billet distributor, hooker super comp headers, blahblah...it already had th400 tranny and a 10 bolt rear [3.73 gears] with 'eaton' 8.5" posi unit...the car did mid 12 seconds in 1/4 w/street tires but barrely 5 mpg if i stood on the go pedal a bit hehe...

a few years ago in front of my apt...much beaten up cutlass now but still badass and fast with that torque monster mill under its hood...fiinally sold it for the price of the motor only in november 2011....it started too have problems w/overheating, et al and i just couldn't afford to redo evverything nor drive it as a daily driver reliably...

:devil:
haven't replaced it with another daily beater yet...likely it'll be an early '60 caddy coupe or something from the '50s...

thanks for the welcome man...
:wave:
there was a bunch of other rides of course before and after the sporty - several rice rockets and a norton commando, a '74 pontiac ventura [my first 4 wheels], 75 chevy laguna s3, a few impalas/caprice classics from early '70s, '78 olds toronado, 77 chrysler newport, 79 lincoln mark v c/s, a couple of vans, et al...most modified radically or at least mildly for more balls..but either i have no pix of them or i just don't feel too nostalgic about them hehe...since early '90s i only dig u.s. made rides with v8s made before '69 or so and drive no other...

aye, i was devastated about the fairlane...there's actually a lot more damage than apparent on the pix...here's the full story how it happened:

i pipe in with the explanation around the page 7 of that thread [post# 124 i think]...but the fairlane shall be completely rebuilt to as before condition by the original builder/kustomizer, jeff myers...
:thumbsup:

 

[87james]

cool jeep, it would be a little bit more perfect when adding some equipment on the top.

My wife crazy.

No, no . . . It has to be something that quietly puts up with your nonsense. (LOL)

Man, that really was a horrible ordeal! I hope everything turns out right for both you and the ride.

You'll have to post the results here when it gets done.

 

[87james]

I like the sharp red which looks really cool under the sunshine, just like the ironman.by the way, who did the carwash, quite a professional !

 

[Monocrom]

Had to mention this here:

Picked up my car from the collision shop earlier this morning. Minor fender-bender that took place back on my Birthday just over a month ago. Not happy with how Geico is handling the investigation. So not happy that I'm switching insurance companies soon.

The collision shop could have been a bit more professional. But the main thing is . . . My sweet ride looks good as new!



So happy to have my ride back! If any of you guys are over by NYC or certain parts of Long Island, and you see a silver V6 Mazda6 with a rear-spoiler and silver side molding; wave! That's literally going to be me behind the driver's seat.

(Hadn't planned on it, but yeah; my ride is THAT rare.)

 

[87james]

that's definitely a iron monster! I like your car! I'm sure you and your car, you two must have lots of unforgetable experience! and I think adding some lights on the top might better and more convenient.
