Got damn.

Usually I think flames look tacky as hell but this works.

Yeah, I feel the same way about most flames. You can't really see it in this terrible picture, but there's a blue pinstripe outline around the flame decal. It makes it a little less gaudy up close.
 
They are, havent had anything worse then normal matinance on the 5 that owened (06 mcs, 08 clubman and the 3 2011s).

Great cars and I recommend them to everyone.

Well even though you might not have problems, I have found through research that they are the worst besides VW in reliability. I think they are cool, for a certain type if person. Not for me though. Plus being 6'6" doesn't help with that kind of car.

Not for nothing but mini is ranked 6th in its class.

Couldn't find anything else in my quick google search really.



I'm 6'3" and I have no problem in it ;)

I drove back to my parents' to celebrate the 4th, and I found out my dad had pulled out my old hot rod from the garage that I left it in when I went off to college, so I thought I'd snap a picture with my phone before I left:

1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass. iPhone 3G picure quality is crap.

This was actually my first car (I was a spoiled teenager), and I drove it to and from school every day until we finished building another hot rod, and then I started taking that. So much fun to drive. That pipe below the door is a secondary exhaust with a spark plug in it - there's a switch on the dash to ignite it and shoot some flames (obviously very illegal, which is why the ends are capped).

After a few days of cruising around in that, I got back in my '98 Civic and headed home :(

You don't say :D.


Why the hell don't you sell the Civic for gas money and drive home in the fuck-awesome car?

Topaz blue E46 330ci, tiptronic, fully loaded.

The lowered suspension, Autograph body kit and stainless steel sports exhaust were all done by the original owner. Not a huge fan of the body kit but never got around to changing it. The exhaust makes a glorious rumble. Glorious.

Had this for about eight years now (the longest I’ve owned any car) so I guess I must like it. Keep threatening to trade it in against an E92 but then life suddenly takes over.

why are you guys hiding your plate #'s?

If you've ever owned a modified car you'll come to know that there's people who will LOVE to steal your ride. And I don't know what it's like in your area, but you can find out a lot of important information by peoples plates.

Ding.

Any asshole with a government connection (DMV or police) can ask their buddy to run a plate, find out the address, and jack your car.

1969 Mustang Fastback

Bought it in 2001 for $2100, dumped probably $20k into it to get it to what you see here.[/QUOTE]
Stunning. You must be very proud, and quite rightly so.
 
500 is class but much smaller than the other three. Mini probably handles best. DS3 possibly the 'coolest' at the moment. Mito is meh, and I'm usually a big fan of Alfas.

Reminds me of the one that got away because I was young and dumb. I had the chance to get a 1969 Mach 1 all original with a manual 351w and interceptor package, but it needed all new seals and the sort. That car only had 18k mi on it too. It would have been worth some real bank today. :(

Love the 69/70 years styling the most of any classic mustang.

I can't imagine how much that car would be worth today. Everything you listed just adds $$$ on top of more $$$.

Yep, the 69 is my absolute favorite styling, which is why I had to have one. 70 is close, almost bought one myself before I found mine, but I love the look of the 4 lights too much.

No way in hell I am posting a picture of my ride in here; after seeing this car.
 
ok, screw the small car. Boxster recommendations/warnings? Looking at a late 986 tiptronic, what should I look out for, and do I need the 'S' or will the standard be just fine?
 
Do not adjust your monitors. You are seeing hints of purple and brown in the paint. As I've mentioned before, it's Black Cherry. I had a few new pics taken a few days ago. The car is now sitting 1.5 inches lower all around.

2003 Z4 3.0i with ESS supercharger. Currently at 380hp (323 at the wheels), but it's a total sleeper. The only visually discernible mod is the wheels (9.5" rear, 8.5" front) and the fat rubber that sits on them. Aside from the supercharger, it's got an LSD, fully adjustable suspension components, EBC dimpled and slotted rotors and pads, and a remapped throttle for better sensitivity.
 
I see Poor-GAF does not post here.

ITS OKAY GUYS, COME ON OVER! We could wash Rich-GAF's windshields or something.
