I don't have a pic of my car, but its an '02 Malibu, still looks good and runs good since its only got 75k miles on it.


And by the way, you may want to edit the pic of the back of your car to hide the license plate.

Haha!  I love this topic because I get to tell this story.
I have a White '99 Subaru outback.
When I bought it (I hadn't come out yet) a friend of mine made the comment

"Great, so you're going to become a dog owning lesbian now?"

Within two months my wife and I had two corgis and now?
Well, I guess he was more right than he knew!

dad got it - so my own money goes elsewhere...

dream car would be either a 1974 golf or an AE86 - neither of which are available here.  :(

lately I've been toying with the idea of getting an old Beetle and restoring it - but then selling it would be pain since the market these days is focused on Mileage.

'98 Chevy 1500 Cheyenne

I just sold my '74 Scout... sad day, but I simply never drove it anymore...


Seriously, Annah? You have a DeLorean? Wow!

BEST THREAD EVER!!!!
Ive loved cars ever since I was little. Heres my little beast right now :

2009 vw rabbit, 5 spd manual. 120 000 KMS, not one problem! 5 cylinder, 2.5litres of displacement, 170hp 177 torque stock. Ive since added a cold air intake, cat back exhaust system, and chipped it. Thing rips now! If I had a GTI though :p

As soon as I get some more money, im going to get rims and suspension. Just to give you guys an idea of what I want my car to look like :

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1265.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj516%2FTessamash%2FDubshed_PMCG-21.jpg&hash=74f6ccb150fcb69f6a50dc4681f92b061bc69204)

Its gone be DOPE!

PS! Heres what my car sounds like... its not my car but its the company that manufactured my exhaust... and its exactly what it sounds like on my car. Those 5 cylinders just sound too sick!!!

A.W.E. Tuning Mk5 Rabbit Exhaust (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnoFtyKCgE8#)

That is going to look awesome. I camethisclose to trading in my Accord recently for a 2010 white VW Golf GTI 2dr. I sell cars for a living so I'm tempted daily. It sucks! haha..  Love the plaid seats in the GTI.

There was a photo posted in the topic for a short period, that was reported multiple times.

I believe that the link was boobie-trapped and led to a disgusting scene.  The post was deleted and other posts made in reference to it were modified or deleted.

I apologize to those who saw it and reported it before the moderators could act to remove it.

Of all the cars I've had over the years, my '77 tbird was my favorite, just a huge monster with two doors and hood that went forever. Unfortunately it had been immersed in salt water during a storm surge in '03(Isabel) and after a couple years, it took its toll on the body. Still ran good though.

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 (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: (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.motorstown.com%2Fimages%2Fhonda-crx-16v-01.jpg&hash=835e3bf54d96746806f6c7e66449f97ce7650fbf)

(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 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.

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. :(

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 :(

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.

My mom got to drive it when it was on her last legs... it was then replaced by a Pontiac Parisienne... what you Americans call the Pontiac Bonneville. The last RWD B body.



We Americans had the Parisienne... it just came in wagon form... and was freaken sweet! no olds custom cruiser though... i loved that reverse indented hood...in brown of course..

while im at it.. 1979 Cadillac sedan deville, powder blue and all the options... but with cloth seats! and a BIG BLOCK! smogged out big block... but one day a nice high compression 500/472 will take the 425s place. I love that car. it will never be for sale. it drives like a sports car and sits nose high for proper attitude... from the factory!  You know the brown one from goodfellas? it drives like that!

Haven't got anywhere to post a pic of my silver Ford Puma (2002 but still going strong!). It has always been a popular little sports coupe with female drivers over here in Britain.

My husband tells me It's based on the floorpan of the Ford Fiesta. Has a 1.7 litre engine, co-developed with Yamaha and Jackie Stewart. (Whatever!). It has what you guys call a stick shift. 5-speed box.

As far as my husband knows it was never sold in North America because it didn't meet "type standards" (whatever that is) but was very popular in Europe, helped by a TV commercial featuring Steve McQueen's face superimposed over the driver's face.

Top Gear named it Car of the Year in 1997 (was it REALLY that long ago?). So no piccie but links to a couple of YouTube clips - with the then British Top Gear team of Tiff Needell behind the wheel, Jeremy Clarkson in the passenger seat and Quentin Willson in the back - in the episode where it got its award. I hasten to add, I don't drive it like this, I'm not that type of girl. :)
Top Gear (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3QuH7z1Z1o#)

And the McQueen commercial
TV ad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2OV7Zz4VsM#)

And, for those interested in these things, a four-minute piece about how they made it in the days before CGI was a push-button affair!
Making of... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzzV2DloGmk&feature=related#)

I do love my Puma. I bought it new and 10 years on I don't know what I'd replace it with! It has done 62,000 miles and is in original condition. The 2002 model didn't have the horrible alloy propellor wheels that were on the 1997 model. Here's what the  2002 model (http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?q=ford+puma+silver&num=10&hl=en&biw=1336&bih=725&tbm=isch&tbnid=JV7Xgg8yalyWsM:&imgrefurl=http://www.motoring.co.uk/car-pictures/ford-puma-2001-16v-3dr-picture_1800157&docid=TZeiOQyVgHdiTM&imgurl=http://images.motoring.co.uk/images/car-pictures/mucf-images/500x375/spid1/cb/c6/0f/ford-puma-2001-aluminium-silver-hatchback-16v-3dr-cbc60fea47782cd65f4f9510761a4ed7-m2.jpg&w=500&h=375&ei=v1hxUJ73FouThge8rYHYDw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=437&vpy=127&dur=1081&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=158&ty=135&sig=112703791427535833884&page=1&tbnh=169&tbnw=223&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:0,i:90) looks like.

@ 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...)


North America is more Muscle Car country. So I'm sure the market for pocket rockets is, or was, fairly small in comparison. Of course that might have changed when the Fast & Furious movies came out. I've always wanted a Nissan Skyline, but I can't stomach the Nissan GT they released here. it's fugly!

But I wish I could have bought a CRX with the glass roof and back seat that europe got. But , alass, that could not happen. Still, I loved that CRX and it made me really bitter seeing it around town. even more so as every time I saw that car it looked more and more thrashed. Stupid aftermarket tail lights, a cheesy wing. one wiper arm removed, the other adjusted to wipe only the middle of the windshield, primer grey paint..... it was horrible.

Figured I'd post this YouTube clip from a Top Gear also, with Jeremy Clarkson driving the BMW we own. 

Clarkson BMW Z3 M coupe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APUjUWJwFac&feature=related#)

My son bought the M Coupe, but lost his good paying job in the market crash, so we ended up buying it from him.  It was limited to 155MPH and and he had it chipped to exceed 160.  I've never gone that fast, but it is very fun to drive.

Nice , the M3 coupes are rare. I love the style of  the M roadster but thinking of a Porsche Boxter S. Lots more trunk room and cheap 2003 for $15k.

I can't believe I missed this thread.  I work as an auto tech for a german auto repair facility in my town. So to say the least I'm a car chick. 

I have a 96 BMW 740il (E38) with 250,000 + miles, but I put a 65,000 mile motor in it when I bought it.   

I've had an 85.5 Porsche 944( non-turbo) for a year, but just now began driving it.  I got it with a bad head (bent valves).  She still needs TLC, but I love the car so far.
