CorvairJim Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Here's my "Garage", such as it is... We don't even have a driveway, much less a garage! From the front, there's my daily driver, a Victory Red 5-speed 2006 Cobalt SS, followed by the Lemonwood Yellow 1966 Corvair Monza Sport Coupe that I had to sell a couple of years ago due to the Obama economy. I miss that car. Better than 220 horses at the wheels in a 2,600 lb car is enough to put most 5.0 Mustangs on the trailer. I was 13-0 with it against them myself and a good friend beat out another one when I let him try it out. That's TWO 250 lb guys in the car at the time! And it's suspension was modded to handle the engine's performance, to the extent that I once ran away and hid from a BMW Z-4 on a twisty back road in the Pocono Mountains. Finally, there's my wife's 2005 Chevy Malibu Maxx.
CorvairJim Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Fair weather driver for 12 yrs now - looks a lot worse than when this was taken - now with 160,000 on it. Salt and slush driver is a 1994 Cougar, 73,000 miles. SCHWEET!!!!
jayhkr Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Well I'm a truck guy, always have been and as long as gas stays below $5 a gallon always will be. Here's a few of my beauty blue!
Dave Mikrut Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) My traveling car is a 2004 Hyundai Tiburon, my drive to work truck is a 2008 Dodge Ram 4x4, my cruiser and weekend racecar is a 55 Chevy Sedan Edited March 24, 2012 by Dave Mikrut
wagonmaster Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Well let me see: 2004 Denali XL 2002 Explorer Limited 2x4 1989 Lincoln Towncar (wife's) 2011 Focus 1971 Buick Sportwagon 2008 Harley Fatboy and a whole lot more that I had. Tim
puddingwrestler Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 2008 Suzuki Swift in arctic blue. Since I am 6'3" and over weight, my colleagues refuse to believe I fit in the car. Not only do I fit, but I can drive with my battered Fedora on, and still have about an inch of head room above the hat. It's amazingly big inside, unless you are counting the boot, which is very small... In the past I have had a 1989 Mitsubishi Galant, and a 1980 Mazda 929L (that's the one with a 2l 4cyl in and engine bay big enough to fit a small block... if only I could have afforded the small block when I was at uni... if only it wasn't stollen and written off by drunken teens, I might have a low rider V8 929L today... or maybe it'd have fallen apart. It was older than me...)
RodneyBad Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Any pic of your Swift Pudding? If those were in the US, I'd bought one instead of my Mazda3. Well, Maybe.. Dang Jordan. I hate it when ya Show off your Baja.. I Love it and would love a chance to drive yours.. Great looking Dodge Jayhkr Nice looking Tiburon Dave but the 55 Chevy is AWESOME!!!!! How did ya get the VW in the house rmvw guy? The New VW Beetle looks more Porsche like and I like that look.. PursuitGT, Your Pursuit looks great and I like it all Stickered out Ya Gotta Love model builders cause we all love cars and our own cars just as much..
PursuitGT Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 thanks RodneyBad it took me quite a few hours to lay each sticker one at a time but in the end it payed off
Mercman Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Here's a small pic of of my 1-1 car. This was taken about 3 weeks back when it was still cold here. Lately it's been in the 60-70's. Really strange weather for this area so early in the year. It's a FORD F-150 extended cab, with 107,000 miles on it. I have had it now for 10 years.
Jairus Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 I have so far counted members owning 3 Corvairs! Wow. I learned to drive in a '66 Corsa manual box btw.
Keef Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 one of my daily drivers my other one, fixing to get a heart transplant the new heart going in the blue truck
wgflatliner Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 What do you guys think of having a 1:1 project/updates thread?
tyrone Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Here's my daily driver... here's how it looks now...
deja-view Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Corvairs are COOL! And there's no word for '60 Starliners.
Jordan White Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Dang Jordan. I hate it when ya Show off your Baja.. I Love it and would love a chance to drive yours.. Haha thanks, it certainly does get the attention when I drive it! Only thing I wish is when I bought the wheels and tires, that I put a bit smaller street tires on the rear rather than the all-terrains, since they probably aren't the best for a low-horsepower engine.
Jared Roach Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 What do you guys think of having a 1:1 project/updates thread? I actually really like that idea, I follow many 1:1 forums but seeing members rides change over time would be neat.
glenn Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Due to a current marraige breakup my weekend toy is now my daily driver.
CorvairJim Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 I have so far counted members owning 3 Corvairs! Wow. I learned to drive in a '66 Corsa manual box btw. I'd love to see a pic of that car, Jairus... and maybe a sketch or two of what you would do with a Corvair model! I missed out on the CBP based on your artwork last year, but I'd love to take a crack at a gen-u-wine Jairus Watson Corvair!
CorvairJim Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 .......This is the only car I own right now Oooh! I'm likin' this one too! (I must have missed it the first time through. I have no idea how I could have done that - this '61 Monza Club Coupe is a beauty!)
skmodelcars Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) I drive a 2000 Cavalier I bought when it was a year old with 9,000 miles. It now has 131,000 miles. Here's a pic from a few years back after a wash on a mild, sunny winter day! Edited March 24, 2012 by skmodelcars
