What kinds of cars and trucks do you all drive. Does anyone like to build engines or modify thier ride? So far in my collection I have a 1980 Trans Am, A 1973 Dodge Charger, and A 2003 Dodge Dokota 4wd.

my work-in-progress project ATM:

i just took the motor/tranny out of a 1985 pontiac parisianne, and overhauled it.. it now resides in a 1976 chevy pick-up..

the motor is a 305 chevy, tranny a 700R4..

while it resided in the car, it got 29 MPG, i hope to get damned close to same in truck since its now a much newer motor inside

test drove it for first time yesterday.. runs sweet ..

I just have a black Vauxhall Corsa (latest model). Nowt fancy but it's a nice little car. The only thing i've done that you might call customising is replacing the petrol cap with a shiny silver one. With it only being a small car, I think if I were to tinker with it more, it would just ruin it and make it look silly [addsig]

*shudders* Vauxhall... how reliable is it Adam? I've known many people who have had nothing but trouble from Vauxhalls, and our family used to own an Astra estate model which cost more in repairs than it did to buy...

VW/Skoda all the way!

p.s. i dont drive

American muscle cars rule and always will. But seriously I respect a car than can pound out 300-400 horse with a 4 cylinder. I'm partial to American muscle cars but to each thier own.

Want a real muscle car? Go for the 1950's Daimlers - some were about 15 feet long. And still capable of high speed chases!

Damn, Im getting jealous of everyone having a good car. Supped up cars are usually found in Japan or korean... You'll rarley see a suped up car in soemone here, like US or Canada, so dont bet on it. I have an accura and a honda... [addsig]

I own myself a 1980 Ford Mustang Cobra, with a big ol 302 stuffed in it. I havent done too much with it, im planning to take the engine out and do a long needed overhaul.

Im getting a 86 Corvette Coupe for my 18th bday too! No im not a rich family, my dad has jsut had this car for a long time, but he never drives it so hes going to give it to me.

In Canada, for suped up cars we have a few of them (if your out on the sunny days) in Vancouver. If tis rice you want we got a ton more that, punks. If i had bulletproof glass and like hummer tires (the ones that dont go flat) id so have a licence plate read "Ih8Rice' but id get shot or something.

I drive an 03 Impala, and it's pretty nice with its vanilla v-6 and all. I can blow by soccer moms and retards in their riced-up Cavaliers, but I sure do wish I got an Impala SS instead... hoo boy, I'd probably kill myself on the highway

Our family drives a Renault Espace, quite a big car actually. We can put our bikes in it, very handy.



Unfortunately, I'm not at the age on which I am allowed to drive it. As soon as I start taking driving lessons, I'm going to look out for some small, dynamic car. (maybe a Renault Clio or something ... but no smart )
