Post your Ride! Car pics! [56k Warning]

[Jancelot]

Seems like there are lots of haters of the new GTO, but I'm loving it so far:

It's a great car, but visually it's a total sleeper.

Exactly.  I parked next to a Sunfire at a convenience store a couple weeks ago.  A guy inside starts talking to me about my car and his GTO.  It took me a while to realize that the Sunfire was infact a new GTO.  Doh!  They should've put a healthy dash of 70s retro in to the design like the new Mustang and Charger as they both look sweet.  It's nothing personal of course, as I'm sure it handles like a dream, but it just doesn't do it for me.

Where is Tim?!  He has a Mazda 3 and a camera... 0_o

SV650?  The first thing I'm doing if I ever get out of LA is buying one of those.

Yep, I love it (and my wife ).

Ouch, that hurts.

Nice ride! Errrr

interloper...how do you like the RSX? that's second on my list of possible buys after a Subaru WRX. my biggest concern is that i'm moving to a location with a lot of snow (western MI, then CT a year later) and am a little worried about how it might handle in those conditions. the AWD of the subaru is a big plus there, but it's more expensive. i test drove an RSX and it's a very nice and fun to drive little car.

It has been a good car, fun, good handling.  Ride is rough, however.  It's not the type S though.  Wife shares the car with me and she despises manual tranny's, so we went with the automatic on the base model.  I really, really wanted the type S.  It's much funner and zippier.  But the mrs. wouldn't budge  Also, it was a couple thousand more than what I wanted to spend.  Anyway, I drove our rsx this last winter here in the salt lake area with snow and had no probs (on the factory tires no less).  However, the AWD of a Suburu is great, plus the wrx would be a much funner (faster, powerful) car.  If I had the dough, I would have gotten a wrx over the rsx.  But it was nearly 10k over what I was able to get the rsx for.  All in all it is a good, reliable, fun car.

In real hindsight I would have bought a truck as I'm really hearing the outdoors call my name lately, and the rsx sits way too damn low for me to attempt anything but the best of dirt roads.

Oh, and yea I like the new GTO's also.

[stiffler]

yeah, mine too:  if you can find a picture of a shiny 1997 Toyota Tacoma, 4WD, Xtra cab - i couldn't -  then add a lot of scratches and small dents, and a bunch of dust - then that's mine! I'm an excellent driver, I bought the dents with it.

Sweet!  I have a 2003 Tacoma, 4WD, Xtra cab.  I actually prefer the front-end on the earlier Tacoma (yours) more.  Mine is usually black, but it's more of a dark yellow because of all the pollen.

My previous truck was that same green, which I liked.

thanks for the reply...always good to hear opinions from someone who's actually been driving the car for a little while

[lildrgn]

Only I've removed the front plate, leaving two gaping holes (Ghetto!) and lowered the suspension a bit. Sadly, I have no higher-res pix on this cpu.

[lildrgn]

The Focus.

There is irony here somewhere.

[Octavious230]

I sent you a reply about the Mazda Eco let me know if you get it I don't see anything in my sent box so I'm not sure if it worked.  :?

[PaulBot]

I'm not going to post my car(s) here 'cuz ya'll will just laff. I'm married with children, so 'nuff said.

Wish I had some pictures of some of my rides when I was young and crazy. My best ones were a 69 Camaro & 82 Trans Am.

Sigh..... those were the days...




(I lied)

[Crowley]

This is the part where I post my "auto-erotica" picture of a man's true love for his truck and I dissapear for a week or two.

But I'm a changed man now

[Knightshade Dragon]

At least its a nice minivan.

[Semaj]

[Destructor]

HEY! You stole my car!

In all honesty though, my car should look exactly like that, as I own the exact same vehicle as you do (but one year older).

I'd take a current shot of my car, but, well, it looks exactly like that. It just needs a wash. Stupid state of nothing but dust...

[unbreakable]

Actually, things arent QUITE that bad.

[Jancelot]

It took me a while to realize that the Sunfire was infact a new GTO.  

Ouch, that hurts.  

Hmm, looking back it appears I might've insulted a man's ride, and that's grounds for a 3 o'clock rumble.  I've had my fair share of people tell me that they don't care for my car, too.   It's just a matter of what pleases our eyes.  On Friday I was eating lunch on a patio and a guy was getting in a red GTO that was parked with its pipes facing me.  I have to say that when he fired it up I was very impressed with the sweet, throaty growl.

[PaulBot]

You drive a red X???  

[Semaj]

Oh yeah, forgot I revamped thier entire website, meaning I forgot to keep that image there... woops on me... it was a picture of a schwinn (A pedal bike)... meant to be funny

[disarm]

digging up an old thread because i took the plunge today and bought my first-ever brand new car...a 2005 Acura RSX

[CrayolaSmoker]

Nice lookin' ride, disarm.  I know my car had to look that spotless at some point, I'm just having a Dickens of a time remembering it...

that's exactly why i took plenty of pictures...it won't look that perfect forever, but it's damn spiffy right now

[Interloper]

Hey disarm, keep her shiny as a mirror with Zaino.  It's a synthetic that's so glossy you'll be turning heads.  Plus it has SPF built in, and, the main reason I use it, is it is super durable.  I put 3 coats on just over 3 months ago and that water still beads up and sheets right off.  I've noticed with waxes that I'm lucky to get a couple weeks out of them, especially in the summer when the sun breaks them down.  Plus Zaino doesn't streak.  I can't recommend the stuff highly enough.  www.zainostore.com   Also check out http://forums.roadfly.com/forums/detailing/ these guys really know how to keep a car looking better than new.  Tons of good info there.

[Devil]

Another vote for Zaino!!!

cool...thanks for the advice.  i'll look into that stuff and keep it in mind

digging up this old thread to show off my brand new car...

2010 Infiniti G37x



unfortunately, it's been raining since just after i got back from the dealer, so i haven't had the chance to go for a nice drive yet.  i really liked the Acura RSX that i traded away today, but the G37x just blows it away...looks damn sexy, has enough tech to satisfy any geek, and driving is just incredible

(total coincidence, but it's kind of crazy to me that this thread ended with my posting pics of my last new car almost five years ago to the day...)

[mytocles]

Mine's just like gellar's too, only a bit slower...

his name is Gumby and his color is: Imperial Jade Green (no, not Empire, but close!)

Heya, Stiffler!  Do you still have your Tacoma?  I still have Gumby, because he simply... Will... Not... Die... (or even FAIL! occasionally) - plus I don't drive much these days.  In my case, if it always starts and always runs, it will be in my garage on standby forever!

Disarm, your car is awesomely beauteous - Congrats!

Grats, mine looks just like that, but with 2 extra doors.

[Grimwar]

It seems grey Japanese cars are all the rage....



This car has made me a Subaru fan for life.

My current track beast

I'm jealous of anyone that can fit comfortably in one of those

And it's been posted elsewhere, but what the heck:





Of course, anyone that remembers the accident thread remembers that it went through a little trauma. It looks exactly the same now, only remove the spoiler. I hated the spoiler, and they happily didn't replace it at my request.

2011 CTS Coupe.  Delivery currently scheduled for August.

Which engine? It's an important detail.

[Flatlander]

Buick Regal.

Advantages:    1  Low mileage
                      2  Is paid for
                      3  Gets better gas mileage than a truck
                      4  Cheap full coverage insurance

Disadvantages: 1 Is not a truck

[kathode]

Which engine? It's an important detail.

The standard 3.6L.  I would love to get the V, but it would be wasted sitting around in Seattle traffic half the time.  The standard engine is just under 3x the amount of power I've ever driven anyway
