Two men enter, one man leaves. That is the way of the hobotorium!
This right here is my daily driver. It's a 2004 honda rebel. The original owner didn't take very good care of it, and gave it an ugly blue spray paint job. I got it for cheap. It took a bit of work to get it running right, paint it something half decent, and change a few things. I'll probably move up to something bigger next year.


(Hosting is mine)

A couple of years ago I sold my 87 IROC (Also red) and bought a 2002 35th anniversary SS Camaro. It's my weekend fun car, and I just barely passed 55,000 miles in it. It is my baby, but I'm having my first real baby in the spring and need to sell it to buy something that's easier to put a car seat in. Plus I live in utah and I'm sick of not having a car with 4 wheel drive. I'll miss it tons. It came out the same year I graduated, and I wanted one until I saved up enough to buy it. But it's no longer practical. It is for sale.

Why do people call their car their baby? A few people I know have started doing this with their new cars...

"My baby is going to the doctor for a check up today!" = It's just going to get it checked for a TSB...

It's starting to get on my nerves.

Also, thank jesus for gap insurance because it isn't worth poo poo considering the $42,000 msrp 2 years ago. -

Word on the street is that the Pacifica is the least stolen car, like ever. So I don't know if Gap insurance is really worth it. Maybe when you decide to drive it off a cliff, notice I said when and not if. :)

What's getting on my nerves is people having kids before they can afford an additional car to cart them around in. Go buy some bland but reliable 3800-powered GM sedan, or a late 90s subaru wagon. That's what I did, and heck I don't even know when I'll have kids!

Yeah, I'm thinking more of when my wife finally totals it instead of just ramming the side mirrors into the side of our garage every other week.

Not that I'd ever hope she totals it. Of course not.

Never.

Not at all.

This is my first one, and it was a fantastic buy. I've still got a bit of work to do on her before she's tip top, and she's 3 1/2 hours away in Dallas where the garage and the tools are, but I'll get her ready, and back down with me here sometime hopefully mid this year.

As it stands, she's kick rear end, just going to be, interesting, to work on.

edit: Next time I go up, I'll be taking better pictures too. She has been given the whole treatment since this photo, she's much shinier now.

You must be my roommates doppelganger. He had a 928 in Dallas as his first car, it's sitting here needing work, and he is now in Houston. Same color too.

Pretty decent track bike, and best 1/4 has been an 11.75 ET @ 116mph.

Ah, then the Celica is not either an All-Trac or an ST-185. The hood was changed before he bought it. It is an ST-185 hood though.

A couple random crappy shots of my Lexus GS400. There's nowhere to take nice pics of it in my area and it's usually filthy and covered in snow and mud. Also note the PO's illegal tint and aftermarket exhaust tips. Not pictured: K&N intake - its only purpose is to set off the CEL :rice:





Plans for the future: remove tint, get nice summer wheels, do a full exhaust, and eventually turbo.

Then when I get bored VIP the gently caress out of it

1962 Corvair Monza 900 Sedan. Repainted once back in the 80's. Typical Ohio Rust. 84hp Air Cooled flat six engine. Two speed Powerglide automatic transmission. 42,650 original miles. God I love this car.

My dad had one of these, just like this but a 63 with some ugly flat green color, for a number of years, always in different states of disrepair. Great little car though, I loved riding in it when I was a little kid. Last I saw it was still running around, but nobody could get into the frunk which as rusted all over the pan anyways since that key had been lost a while ago and nobody wanted to risk damaging the body yet.

I have a plain old 2001 dodge dakota.



3.9 V6, 5 speed. Completely unremarkable except for the custom fabricated rack, I used to be a courier (hay I like driving, I'll like this job :haw: oh wait this is the worst thing ever :suicide:). It does a decent job of moving my tent trailer around in the summer without holding up traffic behind me.

The previous owner put some decals on the doors where the brand name is, you can't really see it here, but at least they're fairly small. I didn't like them at first but they're pretty innocuous and grew on me over time.

No major problems at 215000 kilometers except for the bearings in the differential wearing out. My neighbour and I rebuilt that last spring. Getting the gears back in place was quite the experience, you have to take the axles out of their housing and get a really long extension for a socket wrench to get to, well it's not really a nut, more like a giant set screw that the axle fits through, and you have to be really careful because there's so much play in the extensions of the wrench while someone watches the micrometer to center the gear correctly.
