Cars? Yes, I've owned a few.. :-) I got my first car when I was 16 even though you're not allowed to take your license until you're 18 here in Sweden.. Anyway, I wanted this thing so bad I spent every saved dime I had on it. It's a Nissan 200sx S13 (it's called 240sx in NA) the main difference is that this thing has the turbocharged CA18DET engine instead of the KA24DE in NA. Not really a beauty but after some $$$ and time she transformed. :-) VERY high maintainence car but when it worked it was just so much fun. Had a stock S13 as well to drift around in during the winter. Wasn't that pretty or fast but just as fun when there was snow and didn't require as much attention. :-) After I sold these cars I wanted something more relaxing and modern, so I had some SAAB's, BMW and other boring cars but 2 years ago I just had to get something exciting again so bought this beast: Couldn't keep my fingers away and this is how it looked right before I sold it. Great car in every way, just got a bit 'done' with the whole scene. Don't have the time and interest to fiddle around either.. So what am I driving today? Well, something smooth and a bit more classy.. Just keeping it clean and standard, this car doesn't need anything extra. Couldn't be more pleased with it!

Nice variety of vehicles guys, you can tell a lot about a person by the car they drive. So here's my effort. This was a fun little car to drive, until I blew the bottom end on it I literally 'drove it like it was stolen' but I got out of that phase. We all have that phase right? Right? Ford Fiesta Zetec S After that died I bought my first German car and I was converted. German really is the way forward. Audi A3 1.6, slow as shit and 150k on the clock when I bought it but drove like a dream. I did love that car My favorite pic of that car. Unfortunately the clutch started slipping and it would cost me more to replace it than the car was worth, so I sold it. There's a trend here, I drive a car until it breaks then sell it So then I bought my first diesel and once again I'm converted, to the diesel side. Sooooo much cheaper to run. 2000 VW Golf 1.9 GTTDi. Yes those are the wheels from the Audi. I like to clean!! But now it looks like this.... .....and this...... I cleaned it last weekend and I forgot how bright the wheels are when the sun hits it (also, blame photobucket for sucky photo quality) So yeh, I like green

My daily driver. Fitted mods include: Used condom under upstairs back seat. 'HIBS ARE SHITE' graffiti written going up the stairs. Empty beercan rolling around the top deck. Crazy maniac that stares at everyone fitted to the downstairs 'Elderly and infirm' seating. Comes with the standard grumpy little Hitler driver.

Vauxhall Corsa Eco diesel for me...Hell Yeah!! It's got electric windows, rear view mirror with an anti dazzle setting and it even beeps if you don't wear your seatbelt....how considerate is that? The most badass feature though is.....£30 year road tax.....Hell yeah!

Well I really am seeing less of the car these days, special outings and the odd work day but mostly, this is my daily driver... Mods- Mine has pedals! Some meaty BMX ones rather than those awkward strap on ones, after I fell off it in the shop. I also swapped that coccyx crunching seat for the nice padded fat Mongoose one that was wasted on my rusting, shed ridden STA500. Kinda tatty and frayed but by god, it makes a difference. Mine is also considerably dirtier and greasier than this one as well. I oil the chain by tipping the oil we use for the chainsaw at work all over it. I'm not terribly accurate or precise about it. It's also a bit tarnished and scratched from hanging my boys bike of it... and that time I stacked it last week... Driver mods- lycra, aerodynamic helmet, sporty shades, odometer (or whatever they are), all resolutely not included. £5 lid that makes me look like a geek, filthy work coat, whatever wrecked trous I throw on, manky cheap trainers, big thermal gloves, battered backpack that a French schoolkid would be proud of and serious choons pumped into my brain via a cable from my phone. Check.

My first car - 1988 Pontiac Grand Am Mine was silver, but you get the idea. It was a fun car for a 16 year old. I even did a little offroad/rally style driving with it. My dad was pissed when he saw me pounding out a dent in the floor board! I sold it after high school and bought the first car I truly loved. 1990 Camaro RS. Had a 305 V8 with throttle body injection, and t-tops. It’s been 12 years since I got rid of it and I still miss the open roof on nice days. I drove this beauty until it died. At 150,000 miles the trans had to be replaced. At 190,000 the engine locked up and I decided not to drop any more money into it . I also thought having this car would make it easier to get girls. It turns out one of the reasons my wife started dating me was because she wanted to cruise in my car. 6 months later, once I realized that she was “the one” is when the car died. I guess it had finally managed to get me the girl, and had no reason to go on. 3 years after getting the Camaro I also ended up with a Mustang. It was my sister’s, but when she went away to college she wasn’t allowed to have a car on campus as a freshman. It was only a 4 cylinder, but it looked alright. After my grandmother stopped driving my sister inherited grandma’s car and I got to keep the Stang. I beat the shit out of the car. The driver’s door handle was busted off. The side window on the back got busted out and I just covered it with duct tape. I got $500 on the trade in for the next car that I also loved. My 2003 GMC Sonoma. It looked just like this stock photo, lol. It was the first (and only) car I ever bought brand new from the showroom floor. It came fully equipped with an automatic transmission, 2.2L 4 cylinder engine, AM/FM radio, manual windows, and a rubber floor . I drove this bad boy until we had kids and I had no choice but to get a car that would fit the whole family. Today I have a real grocery getter, 2005 Ford Freestyle I know, try to contain yourselves boys. It actually has a pretty strong V6 with a CVT transmission. It’s probably the fastest car I’ve driven after my Camaro. It serves its purpose, and gets me through my 120 mile commute each day. And with 197,000+ miles on the thing the car is still running strong. Someday I’ll get a fun car again, but until then I’ll just have to live through you guys and GTA.

We have a lot of monstrous examples running around here pushing 500+ rwhp, including one I watched dyno at Modern Automotive Performance's annual "Boost for Boobies" cancer benefit event. Those things can get NASTY.

Yes its a van. NO its not a pedo-van. Yes its a daily driver. As for custom mods, this is probably the only Chevy Express I've seen with Metallic Grey Rims. For its size and weight, it is mighty powerful.

Red vans unite! Hers's my 1998 E350. It's not a daily driver, just for weekend fun stuff mostly. It only has 100k miles. My rims aren't as fancy as Speedsters, I just threw away my hubcaps and rattlecanned the steel rims black, lol. Sorry to disappoint you mate but i traded my red van in for something sleeker and more family friendly a few months back. Its 4 years old but runs like new, thanks to it being serviced since birth lol Its currently for sale as i dont need the extra room, thinking about putting the money towards a Dodge Challenger Attachments:

My baby is a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4X4. This is not mine but it's identical right down to the tires (type and lettering but mine are BFG). Inline 6, nothing too special. She moves pretty good and rides like a Cadillac in my opinion. I plan a 2" lift and some beefier tires next time I need some, brush gaurd on front etc. I'm not going to bastardize her too much or abuse her, but I do take her out into the woods to play so I want to do a few upgrades. Her favorite pastime is pulling my 14' jon boat with 6 hp Merc to the lake and riding the trails at my family's land in the Georgia mountains.

I had to show off my new ride. I was driving a 1991 Chevrolet Camaro RS T-Top with a 5.0L V8 TBI and 5 speed manual transmission. It was a cool car but the age was catching up with it and after driving it for 22 years and it having over 215,000 miles on it I thought it was time to get a new ride. I couldn't bring myself to trade or sell the Camaro so I still have it until I figure out exactly what I want to do.
This is my new car. It is a 2015 Ford Mustang GT Premium with Performance Package, 50th Anniversary Package, and 6 speed manual tranny. It, of course, has the 5.0L V8 that puts down 435 horsepower and 400 lb-ft. of torque. I've not tried it myself, but I've seen car magazines claim that it will do 0-60 mph (96.6 kmh) in 4.4 to 4.5 seconds and the quarter mile (.463 km) in 12.8 seconds @ 112 mph (180.25 kmh). (Hopefully I figured the metric equivalents correctly!)
The Performance Package adds: • Strut-tower Brace • Larger Radiator • Unique Chassis Tuning • Upsized Rear Sway Bar • Heavy-Duty Front Springs • K-Brace • Brembo™ 6-Piston Front Brake Calipers with Larger Rotors • 19” X 9” (F) 19” X9.5” (R)Gloss Black Aluminum Wheel (Summer Tires Only) • Unique Stability Control, EPAS & ABS Tuning • 3.73 TORSEN® Rear Axle • Gauge Pack (Oil Pressure and Vacuum) • Spoiler Delete
It also has all kinds of creature comforts inside to keep everyone nice and comfy and entertained. I drove just under 6 hours one way to buy this about a month ago and I don't really have any pictures that I've taken of it yet so these from the dealer that I bought it from will have to do. I was very fortunate to find this used car with only 876 miles on it so I got a basically new car for a used car price!!

What a beauty! She must be thirsty though, then again I've heard fuel in the states is significantly cheaper.

I'm getting just under 21 miles per gallon on the highway and that's not really getting into the throttle. It also needs premium fuel (93 octane) and that is currently at $2.20ish a gallon. I can put in cheaper regular octane (87 octane) gas but that hurts the performance and we can't be having any of that!
