Olskoolrodder Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 From Spring '11,in order I started off with this... and added this to park beside of it... Then after a house fire in the Summer ('11),sold the Dime,rode the Blazer a while before selling it,and when the insurance settled on the house bought this... (not near as stock as it looks ) But with my spinal injuries,on the bad days I had trouble climbing in and out of it,on the good days I couldn't haul my mtn bikes anywhere to ride...I was frustrated,so I sold it and bought....I bought.....this... Don't laugh though...I'd rather pedal than drive anyways,and since the day I crammed 9 bikes and 2 riding buddies in there,I been happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTBACK340 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hey, don't laugh at those Villager/Quest mini vans! They take a beating and come back for more. Tail wagging and all.... My daily driver is this 2-owner `99 Maxima I picked up.I bought it from a co-worker who was the second owner when it had 23K on it. I got it with just a tick over 100K and it'll go another 100K with proper maintenance. She's loaded w/eather, roof, white-face gauges, alloys, etc.... Then there's the Wife's daily driver she hardly drives anymore (she loves the Maxima.... go figure) that is a 2004 with only 52K on it. We bought it new and try and keep it as nice as we can. It's a turbo 1.8/auto and yes, it's ticket-bait fast. And of course the `Cuda, which is about as far as a daily driver you can get (6-7 MPG in town....10 highway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deja-view Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) My son bought a 2003 (I think) VW Golf GTI turbo a couple of years ago. It was in immaculate condition....or so he thought. Now, mind you, this was supposed to be their best performance coupe ever. Made in Brazil, all the best parts, highly sought after, blah, blah, blah. Yeah...ok. Part after part after part broke, needed replacing, stopped working, came apart...and everything in between. It was a maintenance nightmare. Yes, it was cute, had a great paint job (a yellow metallic that reminded me of a Coddington car), handled and accelerated very well, and was very comfortable to sit in. WHEN IT STAYED ON THE ROAD! After about 9 months and LOT of money he sold it. He was a big British car (tiny clown cars I say) lover, and he also drove Miatas for dependability. Well, he got another Miata, parked it in front of his girlfriend's house, and it was promptly smashed into by a moron who was never found. Just a trail of body parts down the street. Then, he did this: Hosted on Fotki And, this one started it all for him: Hosted on Fotki This is much better: Hosted on Fotki Edited June 7, 2012 by deja-view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDC Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Howdy all, There are some great rides in this thread! I'd consider parking my bags and heading to the states simply for the cars that we never see down here! My stuff. DD '03 Holden Statesman. She's just the baby 3.8L V6 (as opposed to the 5.7L V8 also available), and I love that I get better fuel economy in this full sized limo, than my Mrs old Mazda 3! My bike '07 Suzuki Boulevard I fitted the whitewalls, pipes and extra chrome. The thing howls, and I love her! Truck '76 F100 302, C4 She's my first big project, and currently looks like this: Little way to go yet .... Cheers, Denzil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nboldman Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) at 15 i dont have a car, but id do have a toy The story on it is i bought it after saving all my money for 3 years for it(birthdays, mowing lawns, helping ut with odd things here and there, etc.) I saved over 800 dollars. i bought it or 600 and thought i had some extra money to buy the parts for it that it needed, wrong!!! A week after buying it it blew up and here is some carnage So i bought the rebuild kit for the motor($200) that included: piston, gasket kit, bore & hone, bearings, wrist pin, and circlips, butt it didnt stop there. I had to save for another 6 months to get everything else i needed. After 6 months i had saved anotther 200 dollars and bought alot moe stuff to complete it. So the story goes that i ended up redoing the whole thing, by myself with no help fom anyone else, but a forum for some of my troubleshooting problems. So here is the before when i bought it: and here is now after the COMPLETE rebuild: and it still needs a new seat cover. So now since this thing is mostly done my money will go back to modeling if i can eventually find them odd jobs here and there again. Heres a video of it. http://youtu.be/fSuObHAcQJQ P.S. Sorry about the long post Edited July 11, 2012 by nboldman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
