What kind of car does everyone on here drive?
Also, why do you like/love it? is there something that nobody else notices that made you fall in love with it, be it a super rare set of wheels or the work you have put into it or what?
ill start.
I have a 1998 Trans Am
CAI, Longtube headers, catback exhaust, 75 shot, 315s in the rear. 12.9 @ 111 off the bottle. koni single adjustables, slp 2inch drop, subframe connectors, spherical panhard bar, strut tower bar, hawk hps pads.
92 240sx. Daily shithole. D2 coils, rota p45rs or green AP1 s2k wheels, suspension techniques sways, ebay struttower bars, RUCA's, front tension rods, z32 brakes front/rear, s14 seats, gutted interior. motor thats about to blow at any given moment.
I like the firebird b/c it has been perfectly reliable and b/c it is so suprising. At vir or at the dragon people look at me funny in the parking lot... then when i pass them they look at me even funnier. 9/18/2008 8:35:40 AM |

1985.5 Porsche 944.
I love it because it's my project car. A few years back I wanted a project car; something different that I could throw a small block v8 in. I bought this car with the intentions on making it a "street legal race car." I'm still working on it... Currently has a '95 LT1 with a mild Comp Cam (07-304-08), custom shorty headers 2.25" collector to a 3" exhaust with a Flowmaster 50 Series (it is a bit loud ). The conversion was the "hard part." It's a very fun car, gives me something to do when I want to tinker with it. For the most part it's my DD putting out 295rwhp/325tq. Koni sports in the front, everything else stock. I fell in love with the look of the 944 and absolutely loved how it handled. It's a very well balanced car, imo.
The other car is a 1993 mx3. Actually it's the wife's, but I drive it when the 944 is down. Probably makes 80fwhp, but 140k miles and uber reliable. It's just good piece of mind having a reliable car... Completely stock.

'92 240sx
GT3076R (.63 A/R) @ 20 psi supporting mods are: 780cc/min precision topfeeds 8.5:1 wiseco pistons 3-angle valve job buncha other junk
eibach sportlines with tokico blue's R32 rear swaybar with stock front swaybar ebay XTD clutch and flywheel (plz don't buy it). grips when you're alone, slips when you need it most phantom grip pumpkin given to me free
I haven't done anything to it other than drive it around in the last few months. I'll probably address the clutch and phantom grip sometime, but I'm in no rush. Actually, I'll take care of the drippy oil pan gasket once it cools down around here and I can work in comfort.

Back in '98 (11th grade for me) my friend got a 240sx. I really liked it and decided I would get one one day. He had a coupe but I got a fastback. IMO, they're racey, good-looking cars. As cliche as they are nowadays, I still think they're beautiful. Good ole sportscar build (and looks: RX7, 944, corvette, etc) with plenty of engine options out there to really wake it up.

95 ram 2500 CUMMINS
back-half + 4 link, shortened wheelbase. stock engine with the exception of some pump fiddling, boost controller (read: throttle in the boost reference line), and larger exhaust.
I love it because there are few shortened 2wd diesels around, not to mention the frame mods. As well, most anyone has no clue what's going on with it until i spell out the details.
91 CIVIC sedan
DD, 13"s with white letters, handmade exhaust (mandrel bends, 2.25" OD, shitty stock muffler). Most interesting mod would have to be the bumper intake inlet, plumbed to factory airbox
Neither have any power. 9/18/2008 9:27:57 AM |

I'm down to two cars right now.
1989 BMW 325i - Hottest car on the road (HCOTR®) and 1991 BMW 318is - Soon to be for sale if I ever get off my ass and finish the work that I've started.
Currently looking for a truck or SUV. I'll probably drive the 325 through the winter and then start thinking about picking up another commuter car.

I really love the styling (fascias, wheels and paint) and the added bit of performance with the stock turbo. It also has a lot of potential for when I get a new DD and make the MSM a money pit. 9/18/2008 10:49:45 AM |

i love it because i get between 32 and 37mpg, even when i drive it like i hate it in stop-and-go traffic...i've beat the hell out of (or had the hell beaten into, without my consent) the exterior, and there's a certain level of peace of mind that comes with knowing that you really can't do much else to it...it becomes comfortable
i plan on driving this joker until it dies (hopefully 10 years from now, and without a lot of cost between now and then), saving up for something i really want 9/18/2008 11:13:52 AM |

2007 Mazdaspeed 3.
It's a big step up from my last car (94 nissan sentra). I like that I don't have to do anything to it. I'm happy with the stock upgrades. It's a pretty roomy hatchback, but it's a pain when i'm backing up. Biggest accomplishment is that I taught myself how to drive a manual. 9/18/2008 12:12:10 PM |

'89 Dodge D350 Cummins with 727 automatic, pump tweaked by Jeepman and myself. Flat blacked by Crest Road Fab (also installed BHAF, Taurus electric fan). Straight piped. Loud. Rough ride. But FUN to drive. 9/18/2008 12:26:50 PM |

2003 Mercury Marauder. It's got the sleeper thing going--looks like an unmarked cop car but with chrome rims, but 300+ hp. (not to the wheels unfortunately--not sure about whp, never had it dyno'ed.) Great, great road car for trips, comfy and all the room you could ever need. Gas mileage sucks (~14 city, 20 highway) but I love it other than that. Almost completely stock, only mod is a K&N FIPK.
I also own a 1979 Chevy Malibu. I won't say "drive" because it hasn't gone anywhere under its own power since 2001. Patiently waiting for resurrection one day. 9/18/2008 12:28:47 PM |

Well I've had the same car for 9 years
272,xxx miles on my '92 GS-R w/ AEM CAI, DC Sports 4-2-1 header, Greddy MX cat back exhaust (60mm pipe, 90mm tip). Suspension stuff is Koni 2 way adjustable sport shocks, Spoon Sports rear strut tower brace, and custom adjustable lower rear tie bar. Also have slotted/cross drilled front rotors (not the most durable, but got the pair for $45! and they look nice). Also have some lightweight (15 lb) 15x6.5 wheels, don't recall brand).
I am planning on getting the GS-R a stablemate early winter though...something faster, and RWD. 9/18/2008 2:41:15 PM |
