Best car/truck you've owned?

[ChevyFazer]

We obviously all love out bikes here, but what about your cage? Or past cages, which ones were your favorite? For me it would be a tough call between my 01 silverado or the 60' Willys me and my dad built.

The silverado was originally a work truck, so no chrome, grey bumpers, pretty ugly. After about 3months of work people thought it was a SS! The engine was pretty hot too for a 4.8l, I used to kill reg cab HEMI's all day with the work I did to it, the .410's helped too. I really wish I would have kept that truck because it was almost paid off but I was 18 and just HAD to have a new truck, and the money I had saved for a STS turbo ended up going to a down payment on a 06 Colorado z71, a stupid impulse buy...

The Willys though, it was a BEAST, and a fun project too. We built a 383 for it, topped it with a 250 shot of laughing gas for it too! For a 2ton moving brick wall it would run 7's all day in the 1/8! It was also the beginning of the end as I like to say, it was the 1st thing I got pulled over in and got 4 tickets in one stop (reckless driving, laying drag, failure to maintain lane, and hinder-cant remember what that was for) he also tried giving me a ticket for no seat belt but I did have the lap belt of the 5 point harness on but explained to him that the Willys did not come from the factory with seat belts so he couldn't write me a ticket for it (he didn't like me telling him what he could or couldn't do lol) but the only reason I didn't go to jail was because I was under 18...

What's a cage? I thought all vehicles had two wheels?

 

[Xavias]

My current car!
2007 Mazda 3, 2.0L 4-cyl engine. It's not the "peppiest" of cars, but that's what I have the bike for!

Granted I still owe about as much on it as it's worth.. But that's beside the point, haha.

Best car I've personally driven was my aunt's mercedes. (Next to it is my baby as well as my uncle's harley)

The car I want.. The 2013 subaru WRX.

This is my friend's:

 

[SweaterDude]

simple. 1992 Volvo 240 wagon. 200K+ and people still think its new. oh and did i mention that everything still works, and is original (except belts, tires, and oil) heck it even has the original alternator and fuel pump.

 

[yamihoe]

the best one is my 1999 Escort. I have beat the living sh!t out of this car and the only thing I have had to do is a fuel pump. My dad bought it new in 99' and I bought it from him.
the green mustang next to it, the worst decision of my life, the machine shop messed up 3! motors and in the 4 horrible years that I had it I maybe got 4,000 miles on it.

my FZ is the one I have had the most fun on, the STI and the Blue Cobra are both my best friend's cars with my FZ (he also has a 458 and a real 70' Chevelle 454.)

the Silver Mustang is my newest car, I really love this one, I have big plans too!

I haven't owned that many cars, but i love my current Saabaru 9-2x Linear - AWD with manual transmission. it aint fast, but it does the trick

What I want: see above - WRX or WRX Sti (havent made up my mind yet) Wagon with manual transmission

The best car I've driven: '07 M5 Scary when stripped down to bare essentials

The car i'd like to try (but not necessarily own): TVR Tuscan

Truck/SUV i'd like to have: LR Defender 110 Hard Top

 

[Baci]

love the trucks Chevy!

Smersh that one is easy....STI!!! Or a spec.B if you want something in the middle thats one hell of a comfy ride.

Favorite car I have owned: 2008 Subaru spec.B here is a pic, its not my car but close enough(rims are different but same color). I might trade it for a limited edtion STI though..

 

[TopPud]

My first truck was a 1998 K1500 and I loved it so much I bought another one. I sold the red one to get a car better on gas, then realized how much I missed my truck so 3 months later I picked up the green one. Of course I mod them, just like the fz6!

Heres youtube video's for each of the exhaust set-ups on em

My favorite car was a 69 Firebird. I also had a 88 Mazda RX7 Turbo II that was a great car. But for most fun to drive it's my 96 Mazda Miata it always puts a smile on my face.

 

[Baci]

is the 96 Mazda Miata stock? I hear those things are pretty fun supercharged.....

 

[rsw81]

Best car? Kind of subjective, my 2010 M3 with Competition Package

Most usable fun car that is crazy reliable? Subaru WRX. I almost bought a 2013, until I heard they are coming out with a new engine in 2014 that is a turbo version of the 2.0L in the BRZ with direct injection.:cheer:

Got a kiddo on the way (actually due today) so cars like the M3 aren't reasonable anymore. Gotta be able to do a car seat now.

 

[ChevyFazer]

They make a 4door m3 lol

 

[Baci]

^^ its called a M5 ...... Upgrade your family and your car :thumbup:

Turboed BRZ?? hmm......Maybe I wont get a STI....RWD is fun.

 

[rsw81]

They make a 4door m3 lol

They stopped making the four door M3 two years ago and an M5 is ridiculously expensive. The Subie will do the job just fine. Not to mention these Boston roads destroy sports cars.

 

[Hellgate]

My 2010 G37. Stone cold, rock reliable. Fast too!

Congratulations!!

I hope you'll share some details when the baby arrives!?!

 

[lytehouse]

Might as well share a picture of my car while I'm here.....06 Audi S4

 

[rsw81]

Rob, congratulations on the munchkin!

Thanks Pete! When you got your G37, did you get the automatic or the stick shift? My brother has the auto and has been having issues with it not downshifting from 3rd to 2nd when making right hand turns at intersections, leaving it dead trying to pull away. Any issues with that?

Congratulations!!

Thanks Brenda! I do love the S4, but am putting the extra money that I would normally spend on the car for a kids college fund. WRX = $30k, S4 = $60k. So $30k plus interest over 18 years, plus adding to the fund over the years is a pretty decent chunk of change!

Will obviously upload pictures as soon as the kiddo decides to make an appearance! Thought the storm we had in Boston lastnight would have pushed her into labor, but no dice.
