What kind of car do you drive?
 

Ok, just because I am a car nut and I like to hear and talk about cars is why I am asking this.
I'm talking about your real (1:1) car.
Year, Make, Model, any mods? Like it, don't like it?

I've got a 2003 Saturn L200 (wife drives) and is stock except for K&N air filter.
97 Dodge Dakota with the 5.2 V-8, headers and a K&N.
90 Toyota drag truck with too much to list but is a supercharged 4cylinder with about 350hp.

So watcha got?

05 Impala SS (wifes)
04 Silverado LT 4X4 (mine)

I knew there was something i liked about you. I drive a 1999 dakota sport EXT cab with a 5.2 V8:028:

well im not old enough to drive yet(6 more months) but my dad has a 1998 F-150 and my mom has a 2002 Ford Taurus

Man I wish I had the money to get a decent car, I'm only 18 and still at school. I've got a vauxhall corsa (dunno if you any of you will have heard of it). Still, it gets ragged around almost as bad as my maxx :D:D:D

well i havent got my car just yet (still look for a nice C3 Vette) but my dad has a 2000 Tahoe Limited, 1972 El Camino SS, 1967 Shelby AC Cobra kit car, 1930 Model A, and a few other trucks. Oh, but my main ride is a 2005 CR125R:027: :027:

2000 blazer stock drive with running boards visor 17 in wheels bug shield and vent visors.
1997 gmc suburban stock is my work truck.
1979 chevy short bec c 10 pickup. It is currently being up graded with some goodies. Should be about 550 hp. Small block motor built by me custom.
1982 chevy 4x4 short bed getting robbed of some goodies for the above and then going to be sold.

05 Nissan Maxxima SE Silver over black

Hotncold , i love your Maxima:) I drive a ferrari enzo:p

i want to see it

andy, im prett sure he was kidding:005:

squee i know he was joking
my dads boss has a Ford GT and i am not kidding

Looks like 05 maximas are hot. I have an 05 SE myself black on tan. Its just tinted so far. Waiting to see if I should get rid of it or order some parts.

I just did the tint a few weeks ago -i Love this car - I bought it with the navigation system - and i did the conversion so it plays DVDs on the same screen. I had a Mitsubisih Lancer Evo VIII - before the truck - but it was WAYYYY too fast and handled way too well for me to drive it like a family man. RC-Monster Mike has been in it - he kinda liked it - like a BL sedan LOL

'95 Accord EX, 2.2L VTEC and 5spd make it fun, for an otherwise not so fast car. Still stock, but I did put a dent below the gas cap in the rear fender with my Ofna 9.5, was screwing around in a neighbor's driveway and managed to cartwheel it into the side of my car and dent it with the front shock tower. I don't care really, and am proud to show it off, along with the tire marks from my 18MT I made the other day when I tried to have a "cross car rally".......accidentally lost traction driving up the windsheild and crashed into a curb busting a camber link.

I really like your 05 SS with the 3.8 (i think) supercharged V-6 and 240hp. The new 06 with the 303hp V-8 and front wheel drive seems kinda silly though. As if your 240hp and fwd didn't have enough torque stear. GM needs to make that car RWD again. I've read somewhere their planning on it.

Crazyjr;
I am enjoying about 16mpg with my Dakota, what are you getting in yours?

Serum;
I sold Volvo's for about 3 years from 1997-1999. That car appeared here in 99 as a 2000 model. I know you guys had it a few years before we did. That wagon (estate) sure kicked some but in the BTCC though.

B15;
Is that an SE-R?

HotnCold;
Do you have one of those Edge computers (or the like) to get to that power? There is something about a diesel that can run an 11 second 1/4 mile that really does it for me. A wife says to her husband in their brand new 2006 Corvette Z06 "honey, did we just get beat drag racing that pickup?":035: Check out some of these vids. http://www.pacificp.com/video.htm#track03

I do follow Vauxhalls as well. The Vauxhall Lightning Concept Car was the basis for the design of the Saturn SKY roadster in my avatar. Here is the Lightning. http://www.motortrend.com/future/con...308_news_vaux/

Squee;
I will forever miss my 95 YZ 250.:026:

Coolhand;
We have allready talked about your rides. You rock!:cool: :027: We shall drag race if either of us ever gets our trucks finished.:D

Papa & rc4x4nut;
I love your luxo rockets, those are what I call "sleaper" cars. Performance of a sports car in a family sedan body. My co-worker has one and she loves it.

JohnnyMaxima - Yea - Running the Edge controller with the PPE HOT Program loaded along with Modded Fuel Rails, Boost Controller, Twin Fuel Lift Pumps, 4" Straight Turbo Back, Dead Kitty, Fully Built Tranny, and some other nit nat stuff. It sure is fun beating up on V8's LOL - It literally smokes my Maxima - :005: This is a friend of mines Dodge Diesel dyno numbers http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...d/DSC00789.jpg

A Friend of mine has got a toyota Supra, it has 435 bhp, it is tweaked with a single instead of bi-turbo.

I was thinking about getting an S80 T6, but those ships are rather heavy.. heavy, but a true travel mate..

No, I would never buy an SE-R of this generation (02-06). Theyre possibly the most self destructive cars sold in america right now. About 40% of the 02s have literally eaten their own catalytic converters, and had to have their engines replaced under warranty. If any body here is thinking about buying one, go read here first.
Mine has the 1.8 liter base model engine, but after the stuff Ive done to it its about as fast as a stock SE-R. It has intake, header, exhaust, and intake manifold spacers, and it makes about 130-140 horsepower at the wheels. And because of the sticky tires and suspension work done to it (coilovers, rear sway bar, nismo front control arms, strut tower brace, etc) , its quite a bit faster than a stock SE-R in this kind of stuff:

My daily driver is a 2003 Toyota Tacoma quad cab. For fun I have a 1976 Mini cooper and an 86 S-10 with an LT-1 in it. The Mini is mostly stock, but the truck has everything under the sun done to it. I haven't driven the truck with the V8 in it yet. It's my 10 year project... I'm currently on year 9. :027: Here are a few pics

Hi, I have a 2002 Dodge Ram Sport. 20'' wheels, tinted windows, sliding back glass, 6 speaker infinty CD. No Hemi :025: It has a 4.7 v8 (replaced the 318) Does pretty good at 18 mpg.

'05 Mazda 3 Hatch - Lava Orange. No pictures yet though.

OH!, i new i forgot one. also have a 1991 GMC Syclone. was the fastest production pickup out until the dodge srt-10. i think it will probably take most of them in the quarter since they cant get hooked up well and the Syclones 4wd is a big benifit but it gets a little flat at about 90 but up to that its a ROCKET! we test drove a srt-10 and it wasnt really that impressive.

HotnCold;
1243 lbs of torque! At 2250 rpm! Holly crap! That thing should be able to yank a Redwood out of the ground like it was a wead!

Serum;
If I were given $30,000, and could only by a used car, the Supra would be it.
I have always loved that car. Especially the time when I drag raced this old man in his Supra and I was in my Toyota Truck. He was pissed when I beat him. Really pissed when he found out it was just a 4 cylinder.
I liked selling those S80's. Especially the T-6. The twin turbo inline 6 is no longer going to be the top engine next year, they are going to put the V-8 from the XC90 in there.

B15;
I never new that the SE-R's were so un-reliable. A buddy of mine had a first gen. SE-R and had pretty good luck with his. I don't think it was the same engine as your gen. though.
Is that you autocrossing in that pic? What tires are you running? I used to run Yokahama A008's on my truck when I would autocross it. I loved the sound of the little rocks and pebbles flinging up into the wheel-well when the tires were heated up.

CCristo;
Get that S-10 running. Then me, you, HotnCold, mmdooley, squee and coolhand can get into a 6 way drag race with our trucks! I'd win:p any takers?:005:

BrianG;
Did you know your Mazda 3 is built on the same platform as the current Volvo S40, and the European only Ford Focus? You've got a great little car there. Can't wait for the Mazdaspeed version to come out.

Oh yeah, HotnCold, I'm still trying to figure out how your Maxxima and Sienna fit into "All things American":005:

In " All things american " - I meant That lovely "shake" and the eagle pic - Its hard to beat the maxima when you compare it to anything american ( so sorry to even have to say it ) and if there was an american company that made an all wheel drive minivan like the toyota - I would be in line for it as well....

Mine went to the tinter on the way home from the dealer. I dropped in the K&N air filter. It feels like it made a difference. Kinda throaty engine note now. I'll do more when the warranty runs out. Could be awhile. I was rotating the tires at 18k Miles and noticed that all 4 of the Eagle GSA 245/45/18's had cracks in the sidewall. Took them to Goodyear for service and they replaced them at about 25% of retail. Looks like I was on the way to 40k plus miles in tread life... damn cracks. Hmm...Talk to me about this conversion. I have the bose system, no satelite or Nav. system. What can I do?

Yeah, I was pretty psyched about that as well - as long as it's not based on the US Focus (yuk). I picked the MZ3 out of a Toyota Carolla RSX, Civic Si, Jetta, and PT Cruiser GT.
I really like it a lot. It came with 205/50R17 wheels but I got some 225/40R18 tires and black alloys and it really looks good. Once the windows are tinted, it'll look better. I also custom built an amplifier rack ( pic1, pic2 ) into the hatch floor, so I have some nice tunes as well. :)
I was going to wait until the 'speed 3 came out, but it was taking too long. Besides there is a turbo kit that is made specially for the 3 that some people are getting good numbers with (~250-350HP depending on boost level). It goes pretty good at stock, while getting halfway decent gas mileage in these days of high fuel prices.

Papa - Im not too sure that you can do the same type of conversion - If you dont have navigation then i am assuming that you need to replace the stock screen (that displays all the trip info etc) with a color monitor. That part might be expensive. After that it becomes pretty easy. They make a switch that switches from screen to dvd - put a auto dvd player in the car and thats it.

Brian - I have a friend that has a 3 - he loves it - says it flies and looks cool too...

HotnCold: I was talking to Mike a while ago and he did mention that you had an Evo VIII. I have always been a big fan of the 4G63 motors. While in Iraq my wife told me that the dealership had a Evo IX MR. She was supposed to get rid of the max for it but it never happened. Next time I guess. Are you planning on modding your max at all? I am waiting for a turbo kit or supercharger kit for mine.

The older SE-Rs were overall much better cars than the new generation.
Yea, thats me. I use Hankook Z212 RS-2s, which if you havent heard of them, are pretty comparable to Falken Azenis Sports. Theyre technically a street tire, but barely. Theyre the stickiest tire Ive ever driven on.

I haven't thought about modding it - (Got my truck if i wanna kick some butt LOL) I like the new evo - but im not to sure i like the 6 speed - when i had mine and i did all my mods to it - it would fly thru the gears so fast you would be shifting so fast it would make you sweat - so another gear would be even more and faster shifting. I will look at a supercharger i guess when it comes out - but i want reliability - my wife wont let me trade this in for a long while :-( and when i do decide to - she will probably trade the mini van in and keep it for herself - she loves the heated steering wheel - LOL . Who am i kidding - i will probably get the supercharger when it comes out LMAO:027: :027:

I drive a 99 Land Rover Discovery 2, the wife drives a 99 Nissan Altima.

During the Summer months I drive a 96 MasterCraft PS190. :)

I am on the same boat. My wife wont let me trade it only because I go through cars a lot. I have had 12 cars in the last 2 years...lol.

I was watching a tv commercial with a land rover in china i believe - totally sweet ride :017:

In the summer i drive a 24' Pontoon boat and a 19 foot Bass boat - ( with rc-monster mike when he can get away ) :027:

Thanks HotnCold!

It has 188HP and weighs close to 6000lbs. Not exactly a speed demon or hybrid, but I love it.:027:

188 thats dissappointing - what were they thinking??? - it should have 388 horsepower - LOL - that would rock..
