OT: What do you all drive?

[Darthdiesel]

1996 Saturn SL-1 is what I use to "zip" thru the GD Northern VA traffic to work and back...nearing 175K

 

The mommy car is a 2004 Toyota Sienna. Perfect for trips to see the grandparents up in NY

 

The saturn...is that the SL-1 variant edition

 

 

It's the rusted rear passenger door variant

The title "I am gonna miss that car." really hit too close to home....I don't have one!

 

...but actually, I don't have one because I'm always traveling out of city/state, and it didn't make sense for me to have one.

 

 

 

I heard you don't have a car because you're too short to see over the steering wheel.

It's got a "diamond in the back.....sunroof top...digging the secene......."

Here I am at a car show with my 1956 Buick Roadmaster. The car is all original right down to the license plates.

[Forbush-Man]

Nice car!

 

Makes me think about my Buick Skylark convertible, 1969. Bamboo-cameo-cream was the way they described the color. Built in th Nixon years.......with a REAL horn.....BAHNG!!!

 

Had 37,000 miles on it when I bought it. I was the third owner. Good times!

Thought I would post a picture of a "project" car that I owned as a 25 year old car nut.

 

I sold the car in 1996 but thought I would post it anyway.

 

Its a 1971 General Motors Holden GTS350 Monaro.

Slightly modified with the following.

Ford 9 inch Diff with 3.55:1 Gears.

Turbo Hydramatic 350 3 speed auto with 2500rpm stall converter.

Holley 650 Double Pumper Carb

Edlebrok Torker Single plane Manifold

Fuellie Heads with 1.6 & 2.02 oversize Valves.

All wiring removed from engine bay & Battery located in boot.

 

Before Project.

 

 

After Project.

I have a 1995 Camaro Z28 back home. It's only the second car I've ever owned and first one I bought new off the lot. Should be fun, since I haven't driven in a couple of years being over here.

[skybolt]

A 2000 Honda Civic.

Can you point out what changed? The before and after photos look too similar for me.

I'm surprised there are no Prius owners here. I had a first year one and gave it to my Mom last year after her car was totaled by an uninsured driver.

 

I wanted one when my Z24 got totaled 5 yrs ago (God, I loved that car ). But they were too new and expensive then.

 

I'm just looking forward to not having a car payment for as many years as possible. My first car lasted 12 years and I'm hoping my Accord will be the same.

 

 

My plan was to get a new BMW 3 series, but somehow I ended up with a Honda Accord and a Flash 105.

 

I can see that. Although personally, I'd prefer a Flash 104.

Hopefully same here, my car is a 1997 and have had very few to no problems with it and hope to keep it that way.

What Changed ?

 

I was expecting a Universal 9.8 but somehow it came back with a Purple label stating Extensive Amateur restoration.

 

Also mentions some crazy words like pieces added, pressed, trimmed, re -glossed, colour touch.

 

You just can't slip anything past these days.
