After that Toyota thread, I've got cars on the brain. And it got me thinking - what do other members drive, and are they "car people?" So whoever wants to talk about their rides (photos encouraged) please do so. Motorcycles of course are also welcome - any type of vehicle that you own and enjoy and want to mention, really.

I'll go first:

1987 BMW 325iC

1994 Chevy S-10 Blazer 4-door 4x4 (as you can probably see, they both like to mark their territory with oil.)

Not pictured, but still loved: Somewhat tricked-out Cannondale M400 mountain bike

Lol, 2001 Honda CRV. Don't really care what I drive, but this things gonna die on me soon, I don't treat it right. (dents all over, putting off oil changes, just got a new radiator and already having more overheating issues)

Saving up to by something though. Don't really know what, but my friends are all obsessed with euro cars (They all sport nice old school looking VWs) They'll probably help me find something.

So when that happens - I'll have something to post here =0

 
I have a 1996 Burgandy Windstar, not running cause needs new head, but nice car, and a 2000 expedition.
Sorry about your head...

Anyway, I drive a 1986mod Toyota(!) Celica 2.0GT

It's about to fall apart, the engine spits the coolant out the exhaust and overheats. It stopped because of overheating a few weeks ago. I start the car, put it in reverse and after about 30-40 yards the engine stops. Too bad I was looking in the rear window or I could have stopped in time...

Saving for a Lexus IS200 :D

Will buy one soon...

I drive a little craptastic 2000 Ford Escort and I love it because it drives fairly well and I don't care what happens to it. "Ohhh someone slammed my car in the parking lot with a shopping cart? That's cool." B)

 
What kind of blower setup is that kamakari? I am a mustang guy too!

Mine is red but I had a good blue pic so here!

Oh! Forgot to add the two-wheeler. Another Honda. 83 Goldwing Aspencade.

Winter here has me suffering from PMS (Parked Bike Syndrome). I can't wait for spring!

The head unit in that pic is a Paxton Novi 1000RR, 2.75" pulley, ATI cooler, Piping and mount all custom fabbed and designed by me. :) The scroll is clocked about 200 degrees clockwise to go under the top coolant hose. I have a 2000RR head unit that hasn't been on the car yet.

Nice Mach 1. Stick or auto? I love that color...it's one of the cars on my 'list' to buy or eventually own. I want to get one of the 2011 mustangs in grabber blue. I have a mustang addiction!

I was really wodnering about that intercooler setup. Never seen one like that.

It is a stick. The 2011's are going to be awesome. I've owned many mustangs but I hope eventually I can get a 2011+

 
1995 white Pontiac Vibe....and it is far too dirty to photograph!!!!
