Car Thread
 

As a continuation of Wicked's Mustang thread and in an effort to not hijack it I thought it would be cool to have a thread where the gear heads can post there pics of what they have. There seems to be a quite few of us here.

I'll start, here's my 97 Sonoma

List of mods:
Full Air Ride Suspension with six link rear setup
Body Dropped
Shaved tail lights / gas door / third break light / full grant fab skin on the back with L.E.D's
Tubbed firewall for wheel clearance

All the work done my me.

a little of both, but still newer than yours.

Wes you're such a show off! But like me you want something new, admit it :wink:

My 1991 Chev Camaro...sold it but still was an amazing car. It was lowered with hydraulics, new wing, wheels, custom colors on engine etc, and one heck of a stereo with Rockford Fosgate...ahhh to be a kid again. I bought it off the lot in 1991 and modded it in 1995-1996. It started white and I repainted it...white. I liked it! Yes, I'm a girl, and yep I helped with EVERYTHING other than the hydraulic install.

This is a daily driver ( almost 170,000 KM) so I havent lowered it as I would never get up the hill to my house in the winter as it is it drags it belly in the snow. Been a real good car so far I am getting over 700 K on a tank of gas 800 if I realy pussy foot it and that is a good thing when you have a 100 k round trip to work every day.

Here's a couple of mine, when I painted her last year

So am I the only one here hearing "blah blah blah blah not a VW blah blah blah not a VW blah blah blah not a VW" ? ;)

Just kidding. Well, sort of. Some sweet rides in here nonetheless, even if it is 3 pages of not a VW. :)

I have a '99 VW golf, Mk3... but have yet had time or money to alter it from stock. :P It was an upgrade from my 96 golf that someone totalled when they hit me.

Heres my toys right now. A BMW M Coupe and a Yamaha FJR1300. Used to have a Subaru STI (hence my name)

I ahve a VW Tony.. just nothing special for me to post it up :p Jsut an '02 Jetta 1.8T. Allthough I am looking to buy a vintage beetle in the spring.

I have a golf and hate it, terrible car. Especially in the winter.

All my pics are kinda crappy too :sad:


[IMG]http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...r/driveway.jpg[/IMG]

Bah! A Golf? I still hear "blah blah blah not a VW". :lol:

In all fairness though, I hear you. I've owned 6 water-cooled veedubs. Two were the worst cars I've ever owned (although when working when the funnest damn cars ever, one was a GTI, and one was a Passat). Two were the best cars I ever owned (another Passat, which died horribly in a head-on highway collision in BC that amazed all witnesses that anyone walked away from, so it died with honour at least) and another GTI which died horribly after being stolen.

But since I thought this was a sort of "toy car" thread I was just sorta disappointed to see no mention of vintage 'dubs like Beetles or my personal favourite, Karmann Ghia ragtops. If I had the garage space and if I didn't already waste all my cash on reefing I'd have one or a couple of these ... However I do sort of find the hobbies to be mutually exclusive. I spend FAR too much on the tanks to have a car affliction as well. Kudos to all you guys and gals who've found a way to do both... :)

I should have figured you for a 'dub guy Tony.. you have that "look" :p

so you don't have anything vintage right now?

I'd love a bus down the road but I don't really have the time nor money to keep one on the road at this stage in my life.

All I know is if I didn't have a fish tank I'd be driving a Challenger SRT right now :frusty:

Alas Greg, no, no vintage right now (no VW's for that matter even). My dream project is a '71 KG though. Although a nice split screen bus with pop top would be a lot of fun too, except the problem of having it blow away in the wind if I try to take it out to Canmore or something. :lol:

Steve: I hear ya, I hear ya...

You ever go to the clubveedub site? I don't really post there but I lurk a lot. I was looking to buy a beetle last fall but then the whole economy started taking the downward spiral. I think I might be able to find a deal this spring though... my other thought is Mk1/Mk2 GTI if I could find one in good shape.

I just occasionally lurk there too.

+1 I've been trying to get one for two months now, every dealer I talk to wants 10k over sticker for a six speed, dirty crooks.
