mods: catted magnaflow x pipe and mufflers, cold air intake, full length sub frame connectors, 5.0 shifter, iridium plugs, nitto drag radials, edit: forgot the 4.30 gears in the rear end :)
cosmetic mods: some chrome accents inside including "EJECT" cigarette llighter, full sound system with boston sub and speakers and a big snake in the front replacing the pony emblem.



my other ride (kid mobile)


my work ride :D

sweet :D

silver 2008 ford ranger, sports package. Just passed the 12,000km on it.

Comes pretty close to the acceleration my old 2000 escort did, tops at 150kph on the highway.

Only really loaded it down with weight a few times, had a few inches left on the suspension last time I fired it full of wood.

Oh, I was waiting for one of these threads :D (well not very long, I just got it...)

Here's my new 2004 Mach 1 :D





And here's the Tank, a 1996 Crown Vic Police Interceptor.

2003 Mazda Protege5 and when I can get it from the fiance, a Subaru Baja Turbo. Although I love it, I will most likely be trading in the Pro5 this year. And weather permitting, a 1996 Suzuki Savage.

I have no idea why you would want to see mine, other than to feel better about yours, but here they are. 1982 GMC one-ton dually, 1988 Lincoln Town Car, 1995 Chrysler New Yorker. My girlfriend gave me the Lincoln after she won it in a giveaway. The truck doesn't get driven much (it gets about 10 m.p.g.) but I can literally throw a ton or so of stuff in it when I need to.

Here's a different kind of performance car.



It's a '05 Jetta Wagon with a 1.9L TDI engine, no mods. It's a turbo diesel running on biodiesel. Here's the performance part, it gets 40 MPG everyday day and has no problems pull 1000 lbs of block.



You lots of batteries to beat this kind of mileage and you probabley shouldn't attempt to pull a trailer with a little hybrid.

2006 Infiniti FX35

'97 M3 2 door that only has 43k on it. I live very close to work and ride my bie in as much as I drive.

What's the best kind of car?











Paid for! That's what kind.

I drive a white '94 Nissan Sentra SXE, it gets me from place to place (just not very quickly. :P)

Right now I'm driving a Mercedes E500...Sweet car...one of the reasons I bought it is because it has Driving Dynamic Seats...What are Driving Dynamic seats you ask?...It's very cool, it's a $12,000 option nowadays. The seats are kinda like the ones used in Pilot seats for Jet Fighters. They have air bolsters in different sections of the seats that inflate and deflate depending on your driving, basically on hair pin turns at high speed they keep the body upright in position without any body leaning or shifting...Not only is it good for people with bad backs, (which I'm not one of) but also good for people who like to drive at high speeds, (not one of those either) LOL....but I still love the feeling of not being jolted around inside the car when I do have to make fast turns at high speed. Oh and there is a heat massage and pulse for the back for those long and tedious drives....There are other things I like about the car a well, like how solid and well it is made, to the comfort of German suspension, and how the car adjusts it's suspension automatically to road conditions by shifting the car up and down in level. The fact that it is a V8 makes it move when you press the pedal (I do have a heavy foot) and gas mileage...not too bad for a V8...16-20 mpg on city driving....beautiful paint finish and not too hard on the eyes either...all and all I'm pretty happy with my car.....Doc :D :D

A rare ride indeed... 2009 Mazda 6.

Why is it rare? It's the only V6 version I've seen on the streets of NYC and Long Island! Seriously, every other one I've seen on the road is the 4-banger.

Mine also has color-matched side-moulding from a custom shop.

If any of you see a silver, V6, Mazda 6, while visiting NYC; wave! That'll be me behind the wheel. :)

Still a bus... :rolleyes:

Couldn't find a pic. I drive a 2004 Jeep Sahara.

2008 Jeep Patriot. The shot below was taken a few days back in one of the parking lots of John Boyd Thacher State Park. Was on my way back to it after a hike.

Rented mule. Great mileage but my neighbors complain about the "emissions".

Sorry, no pics. Hilldegard is very shy.
