for the past 10 or so years i've basically been obsessed with cars. i truly love to drive, race, build, and mess around with cars. right now i'm in college, so i really don't have that much money for a great car, but i enjoy my '00 prelude 5spd a whole lot. i've drag raced it (1/4 mile: 14.8@94mph), AutoX'd, and track'd it. so far, everytime i push the car to its limits it suprises me with its far reaching abilities (farther than i expected). i just wish my car was not FWD.. next car WILL be RWD. i love ALL cars, and i mean all cars. Muscle cars were my first love, but soon fell in love with imports (euro & jap) as well. well thats enough about my obsession. i'm just wondering who else likes cars?


oh yea, here's a pic of my baby!

...post up pics of your car if ya want!

...another thing i forgot to add. i have an almost hatred for ricer's... there are so many of them now its almost like a freakin disease, that must be eradicated! luckily my group of car friends is the cure. a couple of 300hp-600hp cars solve this problem around our town. muhahahahaha! devil.gif



edit: post pics of your favorite cars!

Hello. Im more of a SUV person...but have a 98 blazer lowered...at first I wasnt too crazy about it, but after a while the blazer really grew on me.. color is silver...windows %99 black tint, fender flares front and back...side running boards, tail light slotted covers... Tires- Michelin XW4... Shocks- Gabreil - Flowmaster stainless steel exhaust...Alpine stero system. With the wide tires (235 60-15) and being lowered this blazer eats the turns alive at high speeds.... its like a blazer body on a mustang..fun. I will post a pic like tomorrow, have to find one.

I like cars as well. The dream car is a Nissan Skyline R34 GTR (and yes, I've wanted this since BEFORE 2Fast 2Furious). I like Japanese cars in general though. American muscle cars are also pretty hot, but I would only dream about having one, considering the price for gas here... German cars as well.

Right now, I have 3 cars.

One Saab 900 2.0 Turbo from -96, which got a little clutch problem at the moment. A bit tuned, and awesomly fast.

One Volvo 242 from -75, which I got from a collegue extremely cheap, which I bought only to have something to take me from A to B wink2.gif

And my newest project, a Volvo 140 from 1972, which is my little project right now. I'm still working on making it driveable, but then will look into tuning it to have a decent street car.
wrighty
Cars are ace ever played midnight club 3 thats got some of the nicest cars ever on it. Mclaren F1 included.
Skuzzlebutt
For a dream car im undecided between 2... A 1958 Plymouth Fury or a 1939 Ford Coupe...the ford is hot!!!! Here is a pic!!!

It was the fastest American production car that year. It was faster than the 1987 Corvette, and that's not surprising, since McLaren helped build them.
Here's a GNX picture that I drew.
[attachmentid=17649]

I mainly like American cars, but some european and jap cars interest me.

My car is an 1978 Buick Skylark S/R. In 1973 when the prices of gas were skyrocketting, GM decided to make X-body cars (Chevy Novas) for the four main companies (Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Olds). The cars were the Chevy Nova, Oldsmobile Omega, Pontiac Ventura, Buick Apollo. The Apollo changed names to Skylark in '75, and the Ventura changed names to Phoenix in '78. These cars have never really been appreciated, because they weren't very powerful when new.
The cool thing is my car has the same kinda engine as the GNX, except without the turbocharger.

I don't have one particular make I like, but I tend to favor General Motors cars. Gm isn't doing really well now, but they make sweet conceptcars.

Cadillac Sixteen Concept Car

And yes, it has a V-16. Bob Lutz wants badly to make a production two-seat V-10 version of this car.
I also have a thing for Studebaker and Triumphs.

Great cadillac
What about this cadillac.

My whole family loves cars, especially me and my dad. Currently, I own a 1984 Camaro with a 5 Litre, V8, rebuilt engine (by me and my dad). This "project" is almost done, except I need to put in a posi-traction, cause only one wheel spins when I burn. I'd love to drop a 440 in it but, first, I don't have the money at the moment for such a big engine and, second, ill wait and see if i can afford to put it in my next project Once I fix my digital camera I'll post a pic of my Camaro. What I really want though is a 1969 Ford Mustang, and then drop a 440 in it (with better heads, headers, exhaust, carbs, etc. of course). Then it will tear up the road for sure.
wrighty
You mean a 1969 Ford Mustang. Now that wouds tear the roads up.

The Cien is nice, if I remember correctly it is in GT4 too.
This is the possible production version of the Cadillac Sixteen Concept Car.

This is just a clay model, but Bob Lutz wants to build it badly. Bob Lutz has gotten other pet projects like the SSR and the HHR approved recently, so there is a good possiblity that this one will be approved too. The V-12 used in the Cien is being considered for it, however they will much more likely go with a cheaper V-10.

Also Motor Tend reported in the most recent issue, that Dodge will be working on a new Challenger to be out by 2010. The two door coupe will be based off of the LY platform, the next generation of the LX platfrom currently used in the Dodge Magnum and Charger.

You must like the 440...as you probaly already know the 440 is a dodge motor and re-welding mopar motor mounts into the chevy will be required..also the whole drive line will have to be dodge, transmission too.... cant bolt a chevy trans to a dodge 440... I would go with a 327 or 350 for the camaro and a 351 cleveland for the mustang... my fav engines for those makes.
