kingiguana Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) 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. [ Edited May 30, 2011 by kingiguana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) 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..

Chuck Most Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Scale-Master Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyBradKeselowski Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 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...

Chuck Most Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStockAndy Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuel Coupe Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 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 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) 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!

CAL Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) 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. Edited August 15, 2011 by CAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinfan5 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) 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 http://youtu.be/mi5N59imjoA Edited August 20, 2011 by martinfan5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboKitty Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) 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.
