This is my self built camper van /mobile dressing room. Note the many mirrors :laugh:. I plan on living in it if I ever get to retire. 









When I need to blow the cobwebs away I have a civic type r (the pre 2006 model).

I always wanted one of these but the fad was over when gas prices shot up.

Very cool! I'd love to get a RV and just travel the country. Type R?! Nice wish Honda would send some of the Type R models over to the states. I had a 01' GSR Integra with a Type R motor in it a few years back.

I drive a 2001 Toyota Echo with Code Pink: Women for Peace, Women for Obama and LGBT for Obama bumper stickers. In certain areas, my girlfriend likes me to park the car where we can watch it because she is afraid someone might vandalize it.

I would like some of those stickers just to mess with the narrow minded public over here in Gold Country! I cant believe some of the things I hear people say...ugh

I would enjoy this thread imensly if not for the fact that like kept trying to turn my car into a crumpled up beer can. So I'm kind of bitter about that. here was what I had planned for my little Civic:

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2169856/2005-honda-civic

And then there was my beloved 1990 CRX-Si I had to sell to keep a roof over my head. She had Sparco racing seats and 5 point harnasses, Skunk2 racing short shifter and exaust, Tanabe struts, full coilovers, Momo steering wheel... I called her the Little Red Dragon because she roared. (no muffler insert)

If I ever get another, I'd love to build it up to look like this:

Now I drive a 95 Ford Windstar LX I bought for $2000 at an auction.
(Example, but doesnt look as pretty as mine)

For some reason I think if I were to name it, it would be Jessica. But it has dual A/C,  2 radios, power everything and it's a pretty 2-tone, teal and silver. I put in a new HD stereo head that plays just about everything. While I do miss my other cars  and continue to dream of having  a Civic again or maybe a truck, my Minivan will do just nicely. I would love to put pink wheels on it and some big pink Hawaiian flower graphics along the side and maybe even add a sunroof to it.

This was the same make, model, year, and color as my ride when I was in college...



1969 Pontiac Firebird - "the 69er"

I wish I still had that car.  :(

I really miss my 67' Mustang also!  It was just a 289 "C" code car, but was in perfect shape.

A guy made me an exceptional offer for it that I couldnt turn down...only bad part was that he was giving it to his daughter for a graduation present...I'm sure a "boyfriend" has messed it up badly since then :(

This was my first car given to me by my grandpa. I never got to drive it legally because of my lack driver's license. Still I drove this sexy beast around. It was a powder blue. He got it repainted before he passed. It drove so smooth. Pop on detroit rock city and my dad was never prouder ( he was a huge kiss fan :3 ) I almost forgot I had it. I blanked out a lot from the years around that time. Still :3
Also not the same car, I don't have any pics from that time.

@ Serena
North America got some type Rs. In Canada we got the 8th gen civic in type R guise, however, it was rebadged as an Acura csx s type. Also, the 7th gen civic si (EP3?) Was a type R, was it not? Made in Swindon England for the world market I believe.

@ Berkeley
Cool stickers, id be worried too about vandalism. Once I parked my car in a low income neighborhood, and it got keyed. I can't help but to think its because I have an Italian flag on the back of my car, and a flag hanging from my rearview mirror.

@ Keira
CRX!!! WOOT WOOT. So many of you guys have hondas wtf? Some are seriously awesome tho... they just dont make them like they used too

Funny story for you guys. Before i bought my Rabbit I was dead set on a 2009 Civic Si. Coupe. White. MMmmm. Anyways, I spoke to the dealer, talked about pricing, and we kinda agreed on a number (no contracts signed yet...)

So I go to see my allstate insurance broker to get a quote.
9000$ a year. A YEAR!!!!

I bought a vw instead :)


I knew Canada got some goodies we haven't had any type r's here in the US since the integra. :( they had a mugen si special release back in 07' which was just a aero kit and special Mugen wheels. No performance upgrades besides exhaust. :(

That car looks perfect, and it must have killed you to sell it. 

Gave my son a '67 mustang notch-back for christmas when he was a senior in highschool.  When he messed up the engine he found a rebuilt 351 windsor to drop in it.  It looked, ran, and sounded beautiful.  When we sold it five years ago the buyer sent it to Germany.  But my son loved getting the money for it.

So, I drive a Chevy pickup most of the time.

He offered me 17.5k for it, I only paid 6.7k and had it for six years...it was hard to see it go, but it was quite nice to get that much for it :)

I've got a 1979 Citroen Dyane 6

Its very slow 65 m.p.h top speed, tiny engine - 602 cc and makes all kinds of strange noises, but its fun to drive, and is amazing when whizzing about London, not so much fun on motorways !

Always wanted a CV2 or Dyane.  A friend had a Morris Minor convertable from '67 to '69, and his girlfriend had a CV2.  Great fun to drive around in those cars.
