Never seen an orange bronco! Very cool looking.



Sick corvette too!

[Ellen4God]

Here's my Ford Focus. I love this car, but it's been driving me CRAZY lately! It's cost me way too much in repairs. But, I still love her...

Oh yes, I'm also putting one up of what I woke up to on my 21st birthday. Gotta love your friends..

[karbomb]

since my car is in CT and i am in chicago i will have to post a pic of the same make, color and model as my car, but not my car. but ya'll are gonna make me cry though cos my car is a piece...
my car's body work is shotty though and one of the tires doesn't have a hub cap...

[Bassfan]

Oh great, fords and chevys lol...... its all about Dodge.

[karbomb]

Oh great, fords and chevys lol...... its all about Dodge.
don't you start ranking on my 93' seafoam green ford taurus...
it's the only car i have and i love it.
as we say out here, them is fightin' words

[Drumachine09]

Haha, I payed $950 for my truck. For that cheap, you can't be picky.

[karbomb]

Haha, I payed $950 for my truck. For that cheap, you can't be picky.
my first car was a 1999 outback station wagon, it was my moms and when she got a new car i inherited it for free. after about 250,000 miles it died. so i got my brother's car for free which is now my ford. i am so not picky. but i love my car to pieces. and i wish i had a pick up truck, it would help with my metal sculptures.

[Ellen4God]

Oh great, fords and chevys lol...... its all about Dodge.

lol Actually, this will be the LAST Ford I own, I do believe. It has caused me SO many problems. I'm going for a Honda next....which will hopefully be not too long after I get this one paid off and save up a little money for a down payment. I'm ready for a good, solid car I can rely on.

[PUNISHER VETTE]

Might as well post this since it's what i drive to work/classes every day. Rain and even when it's 30degrees out like today....

It was free from my uncle so i guess i can't complain. 87 Honda Shadow 500
You can also see my American flag garage door i panted last summer..

you can see all the salt on my tires....yuck.

[cocoa_pleco]

i sold my old car and right now im looking for a cadillac elderado or deville, and maybe a older ferarri, but i still have my streetbike and mini bike, funny thing is the minibike cost the same as the streetbike, a little over 2 grand. the minibike goes 100km/h max, and its street legal with signals, headlights, and brake lights. i get alot of stares with it

[Bassfan]

Well ill try to get a picture of my truck some time.. but its a a dodge ram, with 33" tires and flowmaster dual exhaust. :c7:

[Pr0eve]

can I play? lol

it was my custom PT, but as you can tell it got totaled. so I have to drive one of the following.

[mitcore]

this is my Mitsubishi Magna V6 manual
1996 yr

my first car was a corana and she was an 1985 4 cyclinder manual, then i went another magna this one was a 1986 auto of all things, and i hate it, i just love my now car so much nicer with power to burn, the auto went through 3 gear boxes and i got the willys with it and gave it away,

this girl has had a new back end put on it, since i bought it for $2000 2 yrs ago, i had a lady go straight up my butt in a school zone she it me that hard my eldest had whip lash, and the bumper what bumper it didnt exisit, i went to report it to the cops and asked them to have a look to let me know if it was still road worthy, lucky for me it was, LOL i got $3,500 out of her on damages, and fixed the car myself for $1,500 and had money to spend on fish which was what i did LOL

[Pr0eve]

ummmm oddd..

[mitcore]

I did have a 2000 Mustang GT with a lovely 4.6L V8 and 260hp but I (unfortunatly) traded it in for a 2007 VW Golf 4, mainly becuase of the fuel mileage, but once you've had a Mustang, there simply no substitute so the Golf will be traded in next year for a new Mustang, of course with the V8 ...

The first is a pic of the car I drive on the weekends, and the 2nd is my daily driver

Mine is a dark blue 2004 Hyundai Sonata LX. Mine looks like the one in the pic except obviously it is, like I said, dark blue, I have a sunroof and leather seats. The only thing different from stock is the middle console that I painted deep metallic blue to match the rest of the car. Well, the sound system isn't at all stock, but it is a stealth install. I built the sub in the trunk.

[Only Registered Users Can See Links.]

hondas are pretty good cars and last a long time. and if your wanting something to play witht hey can be made fast pretty cheap.

You should look into a subaru 2.5rs you'll love it trust me

try [Only Registered Users Can See Links.] there are classifieds for each location including canada, and you can get a killer deal

[cocoa_pleco]

aw man, found this, it would make a pimpin lowrider

[Only Registered Users Can See Links.]

[SkarloeysMom]

I have a Subaru Outback! I love it. AWD is great in the rain. I don't have a pic though. Sorry.

[Drumachine09]

My FIRST car was a 1989 Delta 88 Oldsmobile. I got it free from a friend of my moms. It was in pretty good condition. All of my friends called it the pimpmobile, despite it not even slightly resembling a Cadillac.


Here is a pic of what it looked like, I had it in grey though:

[Only Registered Users Can See Links.]




I drove it for MAYBE 250 miles before the alternator blew, and a few other things went wrong. I got it for free, and then sold it busted for $300. Not a bad trade, eh?

[Futureboy]

aw man, found this, it would make a pimpin lowrider

[Only Registered Users Can See Links.]


GET IT! that things awesome
with some nice looking wheels a stereo and auto trans it would make a wicker cruiser!

[cocoa_pleco]

it would be awesome, but it would be alot of work

that sweet tuner acura got sold, so did most of the other cars i wanted. i found this though, this is just for a street racing/fun car. I'll probably take it to Maaco and get it lime green. I go friday to see it

[Only Registered Users Can See Links.]


EDIT- i just looked at the impala ad, and the area code is 403, which means its not edmonton, it has to be calgary, banff, or something else south. i hate it when people put it in the wrong city

Youre not going to put "spinners" on it are you? lol.... id look around more, might see something better.

my 1992 nissan maxima. i bought it today, only $1800. its ready wednesday. its my uncles friends car, hes a neat freak. the car has 320,000km, but almost all are highway miles and its perfectly running and clean. it has only a tape player so friday im taking it to futureshop for a new sound system, and on my birthday in july i might take it to maaco to get it painted lime green.

the pics were the ones he gave me to show me the car, we have little snow here so the pics are old.

[cocoa_pleco]

resurrecting this from the dead for new members. i can grab some pics tomorrow, its supposed to warm up a bit so i can make a trip to the car wash

ive still got the '92 maxima from my old posting. i installed a new JVC deck, wired it up with a crunch amp and pioneer 12" sub. got a nicer exhaust thrown on, aftermarket fog lights, speakers, and ultrawhite headlights, lowered it a bit, and did a few performance mods so its crazy fast. no NOS though, stock engine cant handle even a 50 shot and i dont want to upgrade anymore

it has 400,050km on it and will last a few more years. if i decide to get another 1992 nissan maxima, i'll get a body kit on my current one and swap it over after. if i decide to get a nissan skyline or 1999 maxima after, it would just be a waste of money to get a body kit

LOL just out of curiosity why dont you like the jeep? ive never driven one just wondering

[PUNISHER VETTE]

LOL just out of curiosity why dont you like the jeep? ive never driven one just wondering

Lets see. Basically it's my anti-corvette.
-Gas millage=12mpg
-coldest/hottest vehicle ever depending on the weather.
-the mirrors move when you shut the door and they aren't electronic
-the windows don't open b/c zippers don't work.(stupid design having them make 90degree angles as a zipper should only go in a straight line)
-All 4 speakers are blown and i don't know how since the stereo is super weak.
-the roof is the hardest thing to get on once it's off.
-it handles and drives like a brick with wheels
-it's so light that it isn't any good even with 4x4 in bad weather...maybe mudding but who actually does that that often?
-for a 4.0L engine it has almost zero power(tops out at 100mpg)

Lol i could go on but you get the point.

[labnjab]

Jeeps do suck, but I do like how the wranglers turn on a dime, but thats about the only plus

[cocoa_pleco]

lol, im definitely not buying a jeep anytime soon

i cant complain about my nissan, its old so gas mileage isnt awesome but i drive it hard too so that guzzles gas. its a good drifting car but being FWD its a bit tough to get the slide going in summer. its got power seats, power mirrors, ABS, and a ton of other stuff that was luxury in '92. it handles crazy nice too

lol i'm no expert but i'm pretty sure no fwd car can be a drifter.

And yeah the jeep does turn on a dime, unless you have it in 4x4 then it's like a normal car.

[MCHRKiller]

Saweeeeeeet....:18:
Thanks:22:

I agree Wranglers do suck pretty hard for the exception of offroading, my dad used to have an old Wrangler done up as pretty much a cracked out ATV it was fun to play with but terrible as anything more.

[Northernguy]

I love My 81 Full size Bronco! Its going to kill me to sell it!
Its just to hard driving around looking for gas stations every time I start It up!

[cocoa_pleco]

lol i'm no expert but i'm pretty sure no fwd car can be a drifter.

its a bit tough but once you get the hang of it, its not too bad. definitely easier in winter though. to make it worse its a automatic so im drifting in a automatic FWD

[cocoa_pleco]

lol, someone on another forum was the first to mention my rear speakers

long story short, old car, nissan never designed for the rear speakers to come out back then. took superman to rip out the stock ones, and i bought the aftermarkets and the hole for them is too small on the car and metal blocks the hole so i cant extend it. until i buy a new car, i dont give a dam how ghetto they look.

at least i didnt take a picture of the other side of the car, lost a hubcap drifting and never found it. might switch out the rims soon and i'll have to get a pic of the back of the car

[invadertoast]

I love My 81 Full size Bronco! Its going to kill me to sell it!

I'd buy it if I had money and lived in Canada!

Neither of my gas gauges work correctly, so I don't know how much I'm burning ever... although the Lincoln's Trip Minder(tm) tells me I've been averaging 19mpg, does a lot better in summer (21-22, we got 26 out of it once!) The 'Chero I just fill every time I leave the house in it, the tank is so small I don't wanna find out how far it goes 'til it runs out :rolleyes: It usually takes like 8 bucks to fill, lol

Here is mine.
][Only Registered Users Can See Links.][IMG] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links.)

I was thinking of getting a 1999 Subaru Legacy twin turbo, but I think I will get a 2000 Toyota Caldina GTT.

[IMG][Only Registered Users Can See Links.]


[Only Registered Users Can See Links.]

Now for a 2 liter striate 4 twin turbo producing a 280 HP, that to me is amazing. And considering Dads 2003 Holden 3.8lt v6 only has 209 HP.

For some reason mum thinks spending $10,000.00 NZ on just a car to star at is stupid. But for me it was the best car Subaru came out with in the 1999 and had the most power for the Legacy even up to now.

As for the Caldina I just like boy racing station wagons. And it is Toyota, and the cops in NZ don't tend to bother you much in Toyotas.thumbs2:

[lobsternoob]

1992 Toyota Pickup 4wd 5spd manual 4 cyl 22re. Stock for the moment, but Im waiting to put some money into her. Give it a few months and she'll be lifted a few inches, some real tires, and some diff work or new all new rear diff (gearing) and... locker. High miles, but i got her real cheap and runs great.
Gets better mileage than my old Chevy Corsica with the same size engine and the Corsica is considered a commuter car, but its a major piecer car IMO, there's a reason they only made it for like 4 or 6 years. Meh, cant upload the pic of my yota, gotta link it... [Only Registered Users Can See Links.]

Thanks!

I'm loosing track of time...that was taken 2 years ago...so I think he's 14?

He's my riding horse. Although he's quite easy-going, if you can ride, you can ride him. I wouldn't let a beginner on him though, he might get a little flustered if he was trying to figure out too many conflicting 'signals'.

He's scared of llamas too...

Well, you could have offered to buy the farm...heh heh heh...

[Glub]

I got my ride for a SWEET deal.

I paid a 25 cent full-payment and rode out of the lot seconds later. I'm always skeptical about buying used, but the warranty allows me to return it at any time, for any reason, and ride out in an exchange. Then I can either keep the new exchange at no additional cost, or come back for the original after it's been repaired, or I can get my quarter back.

They also offer this model with optional spinning rims.

I got 3 out of 4.

But the real bragging rights are in the safety features.

You may notice the roll cage, it comes standard.

Air bags can be purchased from the dealer for about 5 cents each, and can be assembled with a bicycle pump. They're tie on, so installation is a snap!

So without further hesitation, I give you my car...

[mac]

Mac how much is gas over there right now?
It must be cheap to fill up your car from empty.
I pay 150 bucks a tank full. I glad its only got a 6.

For me it cost a $100. NZ to fill up from empty. 50 liter tank.

For fuel I think it is a $1.57 a liter for 98, and a $1.47 for 91. And $1.00 for diesel [plus GST, Government sanctioned theft, and road tax on diesel cars.].

If things are right converted to US $$ it should be about 50-70 c US a liter.

For me I do about 35 MPG in my car in town and 40 on the highway. But I tend to be lead foot and get 30 in town, and 35 on thw high way.

That I think is much cheaper than us. Because you convert our $ to canadian, and you should have a much better price than us.

Don't worry, if the government has it's way we will be back to $2.00 a liter soon.

The only part of my personality anything in that post reflects is a flexible sense of humor, and a habit of typing too much.

Tsk...from a woman's POV, you revealed a LOT more...:hmm3grin2orange:

[NickFish]

Not my pic but it is my car.

1982 pontiac firebird trans am.

[Only Registered Users Can See Links.]

It was my dad's. It looks nice but it handles like dirt.:11:

[Northernguy]

It sits too high for road type racing!
Its great for burning the tires off though.
I do like the car but the whole steering linkage and suspension package that came with them was strickly touring!

[Glub]

Tsk...from a woman's POV, you revealed a LOT more...:hmm3grin2orange:

Don't assume too much from a joke :hmm3grin2orange:

[Rue]

Hey! I am always right! :18:

My husband however, has a different take on it...:spam:

[cocoa_pleco]

yeah, my maxima is only about 180hp, for some reason the special editions were made for 200hp.

wish i could know when mine is going to die. 400,000km but the previous guy said they were mostly highway km, and ive only put less than 10,000km on it. if i knew it would last to at least 550,000km i would paint it and get a body kit right now, and hope in the meantime i win the lottery and can switch out the motor and tranny and get everything in it new again. if its going to die by 425,000km, theres no sense in putting more work into it

however, a few people i know have the same km as me and theyres still putting on body kits and everything. that $2000 would get me into a skyline GT-R or a '99 maxima that much faster though

[Northernguy]

Skyline all the way!
Your options for upgrades would be unlimited and what a motor!

As for your car why not get your motor rebuilt.Its the best way to go and while its apart upgrade!At least you know what you have got then.:22:

[cocoa_pleco]

funniest thing ever, about 6 months ago some people moved in on the next block, and the first thing i saw was a silver right hand drive skyline. i thought holy crap who owns it

its like a 60 year old guy. lol. his daughter is like 18 but i dont think she can drive. hes missing the front bumper on the car and see him quite a bit around here, can always tell when i see a silver skyline with no front bumper driving. i saw him last night actually driving

[mac]

Hi,

IMO I would get the Sky-line when you can, just in case the Maxima dies. As for the new Maximas they can be real pains. No burnout's in them any more. Other wise they are good cars.

mac

[cocoa_pleco]

yeah, i dont like the look of the newer maximas, only the 3rd gens which are '89-'94 and the 99's

skylines arent that expensive here, $6500 for a right hand drive 122,000km

[Only Registered Users Can See Links.]

[mac]

HMM, that is quite steep. I could get a 1997-1999 Sky line twin turbo for $7,0000.00 in NZ, with low kays, in right hand drive.

But one thing these are one loverly car. Simple, extremely good handling and good at drifting around round about.:18:

mac

[cocoa_pleco]

yeah, ive wanted to drive one. maybe if i get to know his daughter i can worm my way into taking a test drive. lol

anyways, tomorrow i might drop by the auto wreckers and see if i can find any spoilers or mixmatched parts of use

[mac]

Never been in one yet. But I know a fellow who has a friend who has one, done up, 500 HP. And he says it is something to drive in.

mac

[cocoa_pleco]

some friends of mine have been bugging me to get new rims. done deal and i bought these. good price and they look nice

[Only Registered Users Can See Links.]

[Northernguy]

Those are nice wheels! thumbs2: They must look great on your car!

[cocoa_pleco]

theyre not on yet, just bought em. a guy told me any 5x4.5 nissan, toyota, honda, mustang, eclipse, etc. rims will fit my car. checked through hundreds of ads and all were sold when i called but this guy still had them.

[Northernguy]

They should really dress up your car! Its a decent start until you get your body kit.What tires are you looking at?

[DragonWatch]

I may not have too many fish yet, but I can sure post a pic of my ride... :19: :1luvu:

[cocoa_pleco]

i guess i'll just use the bridgestones that come with it. these will be summer wheels, throw them on in april and take them off in october and switch back to my current all-seasons

[cocoa_pleco]

the guys not getting back to me from the other rims, but a guy from another ad replied. 4 mitsubishi eclipse rims, lowered him to $300. these are a perfect fit for maximas

[Only Registered Users Can See Links.]

bad part, his address doesnt come up on my cars GPS and he said most GPS cant get it either. hes half a hour away each way so its gonna be a headache to get to him. i checked a map and a golf course is close to his place so my GPS can get my to the golf course and theres a road from the golf course that leads to where he lives. hope i make it tonight

[MCHRKiller]

IMO the last ones look better than the first ones...and IMO would suit your car better.

[cocoa_pleco]

yeah, one of my friends told me the first ones had a chance of crapping out at high speeds too and i dont need that.

[AABatteries]

I second, the second set. I don't really have a taste for shinny rims. I like the ones that have black spokes and a silver rim.

[invadertoast]

Second set looks way nicer IMO, I think rims should have four or more main spokes (well they're not really spokes but you know what I mean, lol) Three has always looked weird to me! They look like they should go on an Aztek, lol

[cocoa_pleco]

i almost throw my fricken GPS out of the window. tried searching for fountain creek drive again, GPS said no results found.

typed in the golf course's address, and right after i found fountain creek drive. fricken GPS had the nerve to say "turn right on fountain creek drive" because i passed the golf course on purpose and it was trying to rereoute me. dam GPS says no results found when i search it but it can pronounce the name dam well

im not off next week til sunday and i dont know if the tireshops are open to swap them then, so worst case new ones are on monday

[invadertoast]

:hmm3grin2orange: I got one for Christmas and was using it on a 3 hour ferry trip. The ferry route was on the map but it still kept telling me to turn around and drive back to the terminal until I got close enough to the other side. It also kept telling me I wasn't driving on the highway and I needed to turn left or right. I updated the maps and it seems to be okay now, lol

[cocoa_pleco]

i think i need a update. i was helping a guy do reno's a few weeks ago half a hour away, and i needed to get a studfinder from home depot. he said there was one by the wal-mart a few minutes away. for fun i typed it into my GPS and it said there was one even close. hit it, and it took me to a friggin 7-11. got fed up, took the second option which i figured was the right one by the wal-mart

friggin thing took me straight ahead, and looped me around the next block to the same 7-11. i almost lost it on that dam GPS

[cocoa_pleco]

tuesday i can get the rims thrown on. on a forum, ive had about 5 people say they should fit, 1 person said no. the guy that said no got served by another guy after so i think they'll fit

i did a epic fail too. stopped at DQ before i went to work, and i put the pepsi in the cars cupholder. its a piece of crap thin plastic holder that goes ontop of the pullout cubby, and i dont know if cups are a different size in Japan or what but no drinks properly fit it.

just drove away, hit a bump, and the pepsi caught air. went to do a matrix grab, missed and ended up bumping into neutral. yelled some 4 letter words, pulled over, in the meantime seeing tidle waves of pepsi on the passenger side floor. most of it went on the floor carpet, only the outer edges of the actual carpet got hit. new floor carpets tomorrow i guess

[AABatteries]

Lol, sounds like you've had your share of fun for the week. BTW what brand is the GPS?

[cocoa_pleco]

garmin GPS. it needs to be updated so thats probably to blame for the problems. lol

[AABatteries]

Ah-ha. That could be so. Our garmin took us the wrong way a few times before updating it.

[Friendly]

Seriously, that's what gets me to work :hmm3grin2orange:

Edit:It's a mongoose I got it during college, and I stuck with it afterwards. Everything I need is all within a 5 block radius - you'd call me blessed having everything around me, but I so badly want a car.

[mac]

Great bike. Luckily you wont have to worry about speeding tickets!!!!

Sorry about your problem Cocao. GPS are a real pain, in the preverbal A##.
As for the cup holders in Japan?? I know mine fits all size bottle upto 1 liter.
Mind you I don't get take away very often.

[MCHRKiller]

They lie when they say once you learn to ride a bicycle you never forget...I nearly killed myself in walmart tonight, my SO was buyin a bike so we were playing as it was pretty late and walmart was dead, and like riding it and other random things in the store. I know we're so way to old to play like children in a store but it was fun. I nearly died trying to ride a bicycle...not to mention the fact I hurt myself in a sensitive area....I think Im safer on a motorcycle...

[invadertoast]

I feel the cup holder pain... I drive a freakin' Lincoln and my cupholders don't hold anything! They're flimsy plastic flip out things that have gimbles to keep your drink level, but they're so shallow all they do is tip things over. Plus they're positioned directly over the window and mirror switches... I've spilled so much crap on them and somehow they still work. I don't know why Ford made them that way for 8 years without changing the design...

[mac]

As for riding push bike I understand the feeling. You do get rusty with it.
The injuries, I know the feeling it is not nice, if I am on the same line.

mac

[Mith]

You can kinda see it in the background here behind me.:1:

[Only Registered Users Can See Links.]


You hunted a cat? LOL

[cocoa_pleco]

i have to get a pic of mine, its a design fail. the cubby itself is like 2.5" deep, and the cupholders just pull out from on top and sit on it. one cupholder is monstrous and one is tiny. you could probably only fit a red bull in the small one, and the big one is too big for medium fast food cups, but too small for large ones.

[cocoa_pleco]

rofl i regret going to canadian tire

it was useless. first problem is i need some new special bolts for the new rims, but thats no problem, i can get them. they said the eclipse's wont fit. all they did was not even lift the car, just throw the eclipse ones beside the car. the eclipse ones are the EXACT same measurements as my current stock ones, so they cant rub. they said they probably wont fit, and just showed the eclipse ones by the car. the bolt pattern is like 3" lower when you put them flat on the ground, so of course without lifting the car, it looks like it will rub. once theyre on theres 3-4" extra room, theres no way they will rub

they just told me to get the new bolts and go to tirecraft, so thats what im going to do. i threw some racing tires on the eclipse rims, so in may when the snows gone i'll get them balanced and thrown on by tirecraft who specializes in imports (unlike canadian tire who seems to favor domestics) and when snow comes in november, just throw my stock rims with all-season's on

[Nick89]

Wont fit because probably of the bolt pattern........

[cocoa_pleco]

nope, bolt pattern was fine.

[cocoa_pleco]

lol, almost 6 months later. the problem with the wheels was my lugs were too short, went to get longer ones installed and sure enough theres something weird on the rims that only Mitsu's have, so i'm just selling them for what i bought them for

I blew my car on a touge here a while ago, it started clunking on sharp turns and one of my axle boots got lost, the grease on my axle got infected from water so i have to spring for a whole new axle and everything, i get it back today so its nothing huge

i'll have to throw up some new pics tomorrow, i took all the dents, rust, scratches, etc. off. The only thing not in again yet is my Sparco seats, i was worried about getting paint on them fixing the rust

[invadertoast]

I posted earlier but I added a car to my personal fleet (and some were added to the family fleet!) I got a 2003 Ranger for 300 bucks that needed EVERYTHING. It's now running awesome and is waiting for body work. I had to replace the headlights because the old ones were held on with silicone and wood screws... it was a work vehicle and it shows. I have a new grille and hood (Ford "powerdome" fiberglass hood and grille, they came on 4x4 models) and a gallon of silver paint, just waiting on body work (working out of a body shop = free labor but long wait times) I also stripped and painted the aluminum rims, they're off an 80's Ranger.

In the background you can see my Mom's Vic and the roof 89 Festiva that we inherited, it just hit 50k miles!! It was garage kept since new and literally old lady driven it's whole life. It even has a factory AM radio, lol

I'm still driving my Ranchero pictured earlier in the thread, and my gray Lincoln is currently in storage/car limbo, it's worth nothing if I sell it, I don't want to junk it, but it's at the point where it's probably not worth saving considering I already have a project car, plus work on the Ranger :neutral:

We also have a Ford Escape, Cavalier Convertible, Dodge Stealth, Miata (in our shed) and a Mazda B series truck. We recently junked and Exlplorer and an F150... all this from people who don't have a real driveway or yard. :hmm3grin2orange:
