The ST205 is awesome, but I think the ST185 and its popups looks way more 90s-modern.
Yeah, I agree. I prefer the backend on the 205 and the frontend on the 185. If only I could have both!

Just picked it up a couple months ago. 2000, mn6, Borla Quad Stingers and some audio mods.

Really surprised nobody's commented on this - it looks so drat bad rear end and what an awesome photo to boot. We don't see many Corvettes in the UK so the sight of one's a welcome one - nice colour too.

Here's a photo of my garage as it stands today:

Well I think I see an intercooler, so I'm guessing it's the V8 TDI, they didn't put the V10 in the Q7.

If Biowedge bought fast food instead of cars, he'd be the ultimate :btroll:.

:j: "Would you like to go supersize on that?"
:c00l: "Yes. Yes I would."

Personally, I'm just having a little mental difficulty with the idea of a Q7 being driven by someone who actually knows how to, rather than a stereotypical trophy wife.

Sorry guys it's just the 3.0TDi V6 - although I have to say it's still a mental car, really quick considering it generates its own gravity.

If you didn't have a GT3, I'd probably say I want the Alpina over whatever car you had. That car is awesome.

They are hosed now. I don't have the tool to get the center cap off and I had to replace the back tyres. The threads were dirty as all hell and the cap wouldn't unscrew without the force of Zeus.

Long story short, the center caps are off for the forseeable future and 2 of the center cap lug nuts are scratched to the poo poo because they are made of a soft metal.

It doesn't look bad without the center caps, but you can tell somethings missing.

In 2008 I had a few interesting vehicles. I usually had no more than 4 at any one time. The SLR was my favorite and I regret having gotten rid of it. Silly emotional decision.





Had lots of track time in the car. I let my girlfriend track it too as I displayed my gay pride helmet.




For most of the year my daily was a Bentley CGT. Good power and fun to drive but a huge pig on gas. Was at the gas station every couple days. The hassle of that alone was irritating. That said, in its defense, I probably have a bit of a heavy foot.





The woman's vehicle:




The R8 was fun. The magnetic suspension was groovy and the handling was razor sharp. Nobody does interiors like Audi and it was nice to have nav and bluetooth and all that other poo poo. A bit underpowered for my taste and a bit feminine style-wise, however a good car all in all.




Also had a Murcielago. Old Diablo chassis showed its age. It creaked, and build quality wasn't great. Power was sluggish down low. Difficult to track properly. The AWD was clumsy and invasive. On the plus side I liked how it looked.





Near the end of the year I got rid of everything and picked up an LP560. Now this is a good vehicle. Lambo finally got its egear system right, and it shifts perfectly around town and on the track. No more bucking in reverse or up hills. Good little car with ample power.





My daily is now a Jeep. Cloth seats, man tran, and I love it. Plus I never have to wash it, so I save a few bucks on detailing now :dance:

By my own admission, I simply got a bit lucky and made some timely choices.

I enjoy the posts you guys make showing your own vehicles and describing all the details. I like how passionate this forum is.

Also, your Accord is a quite a bit nicer than my first few poo poo heaps (mom's Tercel, mom's Corolla, etc.) so keep on keepin' on, my friend.

I like how the Lambo is peeking out from behind the corner in the last shot as if its stalking you. The LP560 owns.

And man that is one barren garage.

16 bit? Back when we was kids we only got a single bit on Christmas, as a treat
And we had to share it!
Google street view went ahead and took pictures for me.



Click here for the full 661x424 image.

VW GTI MKV 6 speed, 5 doors, 4 plaid seats.
Salesman told me that this was the first 5 dr GTI he'd ever sold.
And for weeks, I'd drive around and occasionally get asked about what it was, and never see another MKV around.


Click here for the full 737x463 image.

91' volvo 240 - 75k miles. Bought it off a lady at church who now drives an S40.
It has heated seats, the air still blows hot in winter, but no cold air.

Welcome to Sweden. Making the air colder is like making water wetter. :)
It also has an analog clock where you'd expect a tach.
