i have a 2011 ford f150 xlt, its nothing super baller but i like it. i have a 1999 mustang too, its a piece of shit, it was nice ten years ago, but damn i tore that shit up.
These are over a year old but the appearance hasn't changed other than wider tires in the front. Most of the changes since then have been drive train and suspension. I got the car down to 3500 pounds (from nearly 4000) without fiberglass and it handles exceptionally well. The only setback is that I haven't messed with the rear too much since I'm swapping to a Ford 9" and installing coil-overs and an airlocking differential when I do, so it'd be pointless to mess with the GM 8.5" in there now or the stock suspension config. After that I'll finally get to serious body work.
I drive a 1991 Honda Civic DX. I love that car. Driving it is wonderful; it really knows how to hug the road. The pickup isn't that great, she can't survive on a steady incline, but when I get it up to ~100 mph on Colorado's straight, flat roads it's a beautiful experience. People make fun of me for driving it, and honestly I don't really blame them. It looks like a piece of shit until you get behind the wheel. It also lacks air conditioning and a decent radio. Hopefully, I'll get the radio for Christmas so I can blast classical music with the windows open all summer!

I belive the only reason people hate Hondas is because they are fucken quick and they are only a small fwd car, well thats why i dont like them.
only makes 197hp at the moment, but over the summer Im going to save up for a cam. should bring it up around 250hp:D

I put one of those engines into a mitzy L200 ute.(customers) It was fuckin sik to drive.
I felt the commies were way heavy for the 3.8, they really needed an 8. The 3.8s more suited for smaller cars. I wanna dump a supercharged 3.8 into something oldskool, like an escort, viva coupe, KE corrolla, mitzy colt or early gto, etc....:cool:
Yeh I had an Isuzu tfr space cab (holden rodeo) wanted to put a 3,8 into it. diddnt really have the money or expertise do pull it off. but its a very common thing to do with the rodeos, kits can be bought online etc.
I like powerful cars, but the main reason I bought the commie is because I stand 6,4 tall lol so I like a car where my head dosent touch the roof!

The 3.8/mitzy L200 conversion was reasonably straight forward. Fabricated the engine cross member from 100x50mm 5mm gauge box section. added 6mm plate to the ends and drilled 4 bolt holes with tube sleeves to -the chassis The transmission cross member was a bit of a pain in the ass. (more angles) and the only major hassle was the big assed hole I had to cut in the floor & portion of the firewall to accommodate the commie trans and the wiring harness layout. Used a ford 9 for the rear end, fleeced from a 350ci L200 changed the carrier to 2.73 to get closer to the commies ratio.
I actually enjoyed that conversion. I don't normally. Nice sized engines for smaller cars. Compact if you know what I mean .... :cool:
Alive and well.
Just been way too damn busy to post very often.
The Jeep died back in early may.
Sold it to a scrapyard.
Took the money and put a down payment on an 05 cherokee laredo w/ v8.
Holy shit, what a ride that thing was.
Sadly, within a week of being told "everything's set, yer good to go!," I get a call saying they needed a cosigner or a larger down payment.
So, I racked up 1k miles on it, took it back, threw the keys at the salesman and demanded my down payment back.
Then had to settle on an 06 suzuki forenza.
Worst fucking mistake I've made in years.
Decent car, but a 4dr sedan will never compensate for a jeep when you're used to driving one.

Pictures to come later.
I scored a new car about a month ago. Well not exactly a new one, but new to me anyways.
Yeah we got it the first time, and sorry my 4runner is newer.
oh crap, didn't mean to double post.
Yeah, the 1995 is really underpowered. anything 1996 on is better, but doesn't look nearly as cool
yup our 4runner looks even more cool with a half smashed out windshield :cool: . . . :rolleyes:
And blown airbags, drunk bitch.
I also have a Black/White 1978 F250 Camper Special (Unknown miles *resets at 100k)
I also have a pretty beatup Red 1993 Jeep Wranger. 2 inch suspension lift, 1 inch body lift, 34" tires, 9k Winch (I think it's a Warn).
Also stay the fuck on topic, this is your warning.
oh i don't drive shit cause legally I can't but otherwise id be driving my 96 toyota 4runner
Drunk bitch, don't even know it's a fucking 97 not a 96, and I usually don't drive.
Unless I get the urge to jump a river.

Well you know what would make it all better? If you fucking whined about it some more.
All I did was replace two spark plugs, runs fine.
What size is the engine in that beast?
