What do you drive?

[Prostreet]

02 dodge ram with 103000 on it. i have a 94 subaru legacy that i use for back and forth to work. Sold all the play toys for now. Saving up for a street rod.

Here's 2 mustangs i use to have .

[kingiguana]

My 2002 Monte Carlo SS purchased in February. Got it with 65,000 miles on it. Pretty much loaded, I loved the heated seats with the winter we had this year.

Still have my '00 Grand Cherokee (130k miles) and my '87 Mustang GT (65k miles).

I decided to treat myself to a new car this week, inspired after a month of 80 hr work weeks..mega stressful, and the A/C in the Jeep is getting not-so-cold and other old-car problems... I can use some smooth, quiet luxury in my life.

Picked up an '11 Cadillac STS Monday night. Leaving on a 5 day road trip to the mountains and the sea tomorrow, a little break before I get back to normal 40 hr weeks next week.

Edit: I just remembered--Revell sort of did a kit of an earlier version of this car..their blingy STS-v kit. Maybe with a lot of work I could sorta kinda approximate the look of this car..

Just took the wheel covers off my '94 F-250. Nobody makes the covers in 1:25, so maybe it will be easier to model!

Repeat after me, Hub caps Bad, Chrome wheels good.

BTW: Nice looking truck, Minus the rust spots tho.

I'm thinking of getting some aluminum '99 Super Duty wheels, so I can use some Maisto wheels from the die cast kit on my proposed model!

Current daily driver:

The Corvette, not the truck... Sold the pick-up recently after owning it for 27 years, for about what I paid for it.

[MyBradKeselowski]

Daily driver of mine is a 01 Cavalier with only 94,522 miles, I bought new with only 1.5 miles on the odometer.

Guess I've been lucky as I have never had a problem. I just do my 3,000 mile services regularly.

I don't drive it much now since I'm not able to work anymore. I guess that's a good thing since it still

looks new as I have no desire for another car. It's still new to me so that's a good thing...

[Drake69]

My 1:1 '88 Toyota Supra Turbo:

And its 1:25 scale baby brother:

(Engine beside it is a factory correct 7M-GTE. I wanted it in the car but it is a curbside.... bleeping Tamiya kits... )

[Fuel Coupe]

been running the wheels off of this

Oh- the '98 Mercury I posted a while back is now dead- 13 years and 320,000 miles on the clock. I got my money's worth out of that one!

[SuperStockAndy]

I drive my baby:

I don't drive on roads since I'm 13...but I do drive it around the house for things. It's a tough little truck!

That's why I don't want to shell out too many $$ on models-I need to save up for this truck.

[Fuel Coupe]

Thanks Dave, Yes Skratch is an awesome striper and a a really great guy. I drove the Nomad to the Round-Up and when Skratch found out I had it there he shut down his booth to stripe it. The one armed Bandit is an amazing striper.

The rims are there for good..

[GTMust]

Judging by some of the nice metal on this thread, who would know we're in a recession?

Here's a few of my rides/projects.

My summer driver: a 1999 Mustang 3.8 V6.... nothing special but great around town..... and for the occasional jourtney outside of town.

A couple of project cars:

A 1985 Mustang GT auto, T-Tops air, etc. Needs rear brake lines, a small hole patched in the floor, parking brake cable and hood release handle and a D##mn good wash!

A 1986 Mustang GT 5 speed, T-Tops, air, etc. Needs......... everything!

In the background is my winter driver and Gopher vehicle. A 1984 Ford E-150 Custom van, with a 351 Windsor, Auto, Air, raised roof and all the seats taken out to carry the good stuff!

I also have a daily driver 1989 Mustang 2.3, 4 banger which I hope one day will be motivated by a 5.0 5 speed........ and a 2000 S10 ext. cab shortbox stepside V6 which I'm currently planning a quick resto on. Haven't figured out what I'm gonna do with it after it's done... if ever!

Oh, yes........ and the wife drives a 1998 Plymouth Grand Caravan... 'cos I won't let her drive my 'Stangs!

This is my daily driver

I have been looking for one of these though

It's been two years and no luck. I thought I found one once but it was a fake and have found 5 other fakes or people with no clue like a SC being sold as a Wide Body, no real ones, and would rather not get a Turbo, not withstanding the are still about 10K more than a non turbo car $30-40K

What is so special about this one you might ask. It is a 84-88 Carrera SC with a 491 option, which is the "Turbo Look" wide body, turbo suspension, turbo brakes and wheels without the turbo. Only 1184 were made.

I guess my next best option is just to get a SC coupe, but even those are hard to find. I find lots of Targas but coupes perferably without a sunroof .

Someday I will find it, and build a moderenized 934 like car.

I did upgrade.

This is my 54 chevy. My father built it and gave it to me when he turned 80 years old.

[Fuel Coupe]

That 54 is awesome Dave, can you post some more pics of it...

[Ramcharger]

My '59 Ford. It has a 5.0L HO and a t-5 and it's a ball to drive:

[martinfan5]

This is mine, 01 maxima with 278, and change on the odometer, got it free last year doing a vehicle trade , the bug in the back ground is the miss's car, I do not like it, or like driving it, I feel like my man card should be taken away when I drive it

Here is a video of the car

Right now I walk or ride my bike LOL but in September I'll be buying this from my mom, a 2001 Buick LeSabre Custom. It's definitely not my type of car but for the price I'm getting it for I can't resist. Plus I can appreciate the reliability of the 3800 Series II V6 in it, and it only has 74,000 miles + a full maintenance history. It's been a Florida car it's whole life until 2008 too :

Previous cars include the following, from my 1st car to the latest one I had: '91 Dodge Daytona ES (wrecked), '88 Pontiac LeMans SE 4dr (sold), '96 Chrysler Sebring LX (sold), '93 Honda Civic LX 4dr (sold), '98 Dodge Neon Highline 4dr (sold), '94 Olds Cutlass Supreme SL (sold), '96 Dodge Neon 2dr (sold), '95 Toyota Celica GT (LOVED IT, but it was stolen), '73 Dodge Charger SE (bought as project but sold it), '98 Chevy Cavalier (scrapped), '00 Chevy Cavalier Z24 (sold), '96 Chevy Corsica (sold). Here are the better ones out of the bunch:

'95 Celica GT (my favorite car that I owned, I will get another one ASAP). This was before getting the front bumper repainted black:

'73 Charger SE, 400 Big Block, original B7 Blue w/ B5 Interior & White vinyl top. So many plans, so little money at the time. Miss this one a lot.

'00 Cavalier Z24 - this car was immaculate, not a single scratch or ding. Pic was taken while I had the spare on the rear after getting a flat, go figure. Loved this car almost as much as the Celica, it was super reliable and decently quick for a 4 Banger.

You know Michelle, I think with a mild shaving, slightly larger wheels, and either airbags or a slight drop, those cars would make nice looking mild kustoms.
