So, do we seriously not have any gear heads in this group?

Cindi, wrenched on cars a lot when I was younger. if I had them time now would have a cool 60's car in the garage for restoration. big dream for me and a friend if we had the time and money, build a nostalgia dragster. probably a fuel altered. one problem , we would have to find a shoe. I'm to old and gimped up to drive one and friend is to big to fit into the cage. oh well ... try to go to the drags when I can , don't seem to have the time to make many though. I guess I'm a gear head in spirit right now. to the o.p. I drive a 2010 Dodge Ram 1500..

Built this for desert use.  Nothing left stock.

1.6 Liter FI engine swap
4.89 T-case gearing
4.52 pumpkin gearing
Long shackle YJ spring swap, front and rear
Scissor steering gear

Top speed in high range/5th gear is about 61 MPH.  Low range crawler all the way.

This girl still enjoys messing with things.

I love cars but mine is too rare to post without outing myself, liking the red integra, sti and the little sierra/samurai (thats a huge lift) ^

[SashaGrace]

I swear I wrote a reply to this yesterday or am I having a blonde moment again??

Love that little Samurai, miss my off roading antics in the Rangie but I sold it on 112k miles with a gearbox on it's way out (used to slip in reverse when it was hot). Bought the XC 11 months ago on 117k miles and it's now showing just under 149k miles!!! I've been a busy girl with it and if it ever stops raining, it might even get a wash haha.

Serenation, you got me wondering what you own now haha, must be really nice!

Not my car, as I don't have a car yet, but when I do get my first car I definitely want a Honda Civic Si EP3, as Civics already have a special charm about them to me, added upon the fact that EP3's aren't too common in my region, as EK's and EG's are way more common and I want something that people look at and think "That's not too common!" I already have a build in mind for my future EP as well, I want a small turbocharger and an aftermarket cooling system and vented rotor brakes with aftermarket coilovers with polyurethane bushings for the tighter suspension and better handling on the track, as well as a slightly bigger displacement in the block. c: Visual mods aren't really what I have in mind, bar maybe Volk's TE37's for the rims and that's about it.

I have a silver 2013 BMW 328i as well as a red 2009 Hyundai Tucson.  I can throw things in the Hyundai that I would not think about putting in the BMW.

My legs, lol.

I'm serious. Hell, its hard times right now. But as an old ancient proverb goes, "Be thankful in times of adversity. Be generous in times of prosperity." And since the former of that obviously applies to me even more right now, I am so thankful I even have legs to take me as far as they can to where ever I need to go.

Lots of people who have cars wish to the heavens that they had legs like mine or were in shape.......They be wishin' they could have the unprecedented discipline I possess from the very limitations that have once held me captive like a prisoner on death row. Now my greatest disadvantages are becoming my mightiest advantages in a wild twist.

2012 White Toyota Camry, the ultimate old lady car. It's a great vehicle for the 1,000 mile trips I insist on taking periodically.

An 03 Chevy Tahoe as daily driver (120K miles), needs TLC
For serious work, I use my '07 Ford F350 Diesel Dually (40K miles) to pull the 12K lb  travel trailer or moving the Tractor on the 12K lb flatbed trailer.

The nicest car we have is the wife's one year old Subaru Forester.  I didn't think I'd like the CVT type automatic transmission, but I actually love it.
It's entertaining to be on cruise control and watch the RPMs change and the fuel consumption change while the car speed stays the same. I also like how when going down hill in cruise how the transmission downshifts to keep the car's speed steady instead of just going faster and faster. We get better than 30 MPG on the freeways!

    Yes, I'm a gear head. I just can't seem to keep the nails in good shape when I'm working in the shop

I used to have a V8 Vantage in arctic blue. It was nice, BUT, I believe I have that all beat. Here is my current collection:

2014 Chevrolet Corvette stingray Z51 (special numbered launch edition car) Laguna Blue
2013 SRT Viper GTS (in darth vader black no less)
2013 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport convertible (60th anniversary special edition, blade silver metallic my summer beach house car)
2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Dragon Edition
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee overland edition diesel arctic white
2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Any time anyone wants to meet me or see my cars in person, simply stop by Kringle Candle cars and coffee in Bernardston MA in the summer. I usually take the viper when the ferrari club of new england is going to be there because they let me ride with them afterwards or I take a corvette and ride with the vette people. This year I took a nice drive with the ferrari owners and had the honor of riding behind an enzo ferrari. What an awesome sounding car that's all I can say.

I love cars and can't get enough of them!

Hi Zumba girl;

Snap I have an identical Jeep Grand Cherokee overland edition diesel arctic white, except mine is the 2015 model. I just love the adaptive cruise control, although it takes some getting use to it. You just have to learn to trust it, although I find it most difficult when merging onto another freeway where vehicles are merging at different speeds.  The other problem is that sometimes the emergency collision system can apply the emergency  brakes. I had that happen to me driving in Melbourne when I was driving down Collins St and one of the older W Class Trams passed me, the Jeep Grand Cherokee jammed on the Emergency Braking system as it detected the tram running alongside me thinking I was about to collide with it, which of course I wasn't going to! It really is sensitive.

Adaptive cruise control is sweet. The Cherokee is nice to take when I want to be lazy lol. Before the cherokee I had a Dodge Charger SRT8 that also had adaptive cruise control, and that car was really fast. I'm actually amazed at the mileage I get on the Cherokee, although if you can believe it or not the Corvette Stingray (C7 vette) can easily get 34-35mpg for me, using eco mode. That car actually amazes the heck out of me every time I get behind the wheel.

Usually in the summertime it's sports cars for me and honestly going fast is a rush and cruise controls just aren't fun in those kinds of cars

Hi all, Just to add mine on here, my Car is a Suzuki Grand Vitara GV2000, She's a bit battered and long in the tooth( bit like it's owner) but it's fun, nice to drive and simple to work on. To get to work i usually have the works Renualt Kangoo van. And once i get there it's a '05 plate MAN M2000 18 tonne skip loader. When i get some decent weather i'll do some piccies and put them up for a laugh.

My tank has changed a little, had the windows tinted and finally treated it to a bath oh and put the numberplate of death on it lol





Also coming up to 160,000 miles fast!! I need to slow down haha

Any more for any more?? Xx

[cheryl reeves]

I traded our 08 town and country for a 2012 Ford Escape talk about a gas mileage change. The escape is fun to drive and the1.5 liter engine has the power of a 6 cup.
