Guest Challenger Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I drive beat-up old $500 junkers that I don't care what happens to. Like I'm changing lanes and I trade a little paint with some dumbass in a BMW. When I signal, bitch - you will get over! 107728[/snapback] Don't you just love those old beaters! I used to have a driveway full of them! They cost next to nothing to maintain (I did most of the work myself), and I was surrounded by plenty of iron in case someone driving one of those little rice-burners decided to boom me. I did have a guy rear-end me at a stop sign. My old Dodge didn't gert a scratch. His ricemobile took off, leaving a nice fresh pile of headlight beneath my rear bumper.

Gunning for a parking space and a new Lincoln Navigator is racing you for it? Who do you think is going to give a shit if their fender gets crumpled? Not me, that's for damn sure.

BlueGiant Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 2K4 Corolla S. My ride. Sips gas and is a surprisingly light car. Haven't done anything special to it yet (though I have thought about it)... My bro on the other hand, well, it started off as a stock automatic gen 3 Toyota Camry. He fixed that.

Eponymic Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I'm not all that big on show, I'm quite happy with my 97' purple Escort. Though I am looking for get some new floor mats & maybe some seat covers for it. And I'm also contemplating finally upgrading the sound system- as a sound engineer myself it does get utterly frustrating from time to time to have a shitty stock cassette player with my cd player jimmy rigged into it.

♦ nivek ♦ Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 First shot is elBeasto in our 'Urban Assault Vehicle", a 300 horsed 350 Chevy that eats ricers in its grill... Next shot is "Old Blue" the '52 M-37 Dodge Military 3/4 ton truck we are currently restoring from ground up. Also have another '52 M-37 "Rusty" that is currently, like 'Blue, torn down, and in turn being prepared for a ground up rebuild. Daily sled is a '96 Ford F-150 extended cab long bed two wheel drive. Suprisingly enough, not a good picture of it anywhere in the files. With a decently powered 351 W underhood it goes just fine.. kL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Basically my Geekmobile... except mine has the driver and passenger windows limo tinted as well, with a valance on the windshield, a jolly roger front license plate, and stickers all over the back. My favorite being, "Cthulu Dreamed It. I Believe It. That Settles It." Edit - Also, my rims don't suck like those. I've got the five spoke brushed aluminium ones.

Vigile Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Daily commute to work: Lizard, that Camaro is my wife's old car. Does it have a T-top? She is crying now. These are my babies Alright Mike, don't keep us in suspense. What do you do for a living? My current ride: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 No T-top, Vigile..hubby speaks of selling my blue baby, but I refuse to let him..even with 162,000 miles, she still drives like a dream.. nivek, the 351 Windsor is my favorite engine ever! I had a 75 Merc Montego with that engine..only one I ever could work on myself. Of course, it was gas hog too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Alright Mike, don't keep us in suspense. What do you do for a living? Well it's nothing too exciting, I am a systems consultant for a large co. But I also trade (stocks, options, etc) which is actually how I make the majority of my money. I guess that makes me a greedy capitalist pig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taphophilia Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I don't think anyone will be impressed but I have an 95 Infinity J30. It has over 100,000 miles on it and it is still like new. All I do is have the oil changed regularly and regular maintenance. I'm not the kind of person who cares what they drive, just as long as it works.

RankStranger Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I drive beat-up old $500 junkers that I don't care what happens to. Like I'm changing lanes and I trade a little paint with some dumbass in a BMW. When I signal, bitch - you will get over! Three out of the couple dozen vehicles I've owned during my life actually cost more than $1000 dollars... but not my current one. The Red Rocket has just shy of 250,000 miles. The engine knocks, the rear crank seal leaks, third gear grinds when it's cold, the rear axle drive yoke is welded to the pinion, and the right side mirror fell off when I hit a Korean woman with it. Overall it's a pretty good vehicle though- it's never left me stranded or refused to start during the 5 years I've owned it. This picture really doesn't do it justice. The driver's side is mostly rust from the door on back. Sometimes I kick the bed just to watch pieces fall off. Everywhere I go i get "the brothas" axin if I wanna sell, for cash on the spot. My first car was a 1978 Olds Cutlass Supreme- ain't nothin' like a gutless cutlass! As far as vehicles that "the brothas" want to buy on the spot, nobody can compete with my dad's 1970 Catalina. This color isn't from bad film- the car actually IS this unnatural shade of blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
