Plymouth minivan... actually the vehicle I prefer to drive... just wish it was outfitted better, with a lil more power...

My daily driver is a 1993 black Ford PROBE.(just for you Diva) I also own a 1972 Warbonet Yellow Corvette which I drive in nice weather and take to car shows. (ever do it in a Vette, Diva?) My wife drives a Ford Escape. (can you guess why?) And we have a Mercury Villager which we keep for our sons to drive. (lots of room in that baby for fun Diva) Have I got it covered?;)

Daily driver Volvo 940 gle,high days hollidays or when i'm
down Jaguar XJS Coupe,both black.

Mmmm...a probe you said.....I can handle that... ;)



As a matter of fact yes...a stingray...damn stick shift was always in the way. :D


Yeah...tell me about it..I got a mini van too, and a ford truck F150.

I prefer the truck..much faster and easier to do "Rockfords" :D :D


But my dream car would be a '67 Ford Mustang...Yeah Babyyyyy!!!

Forgot the pic...grrrrr :D :D

I drive a Kia Rio, the 2002 model

it replaces the Kia Rio 2001 model that I rolled into a ditch 3 weeks ago, unintentionally but destructively to be sure.

BORU

LoveDiva4u,

Good choice of a car.Mustangs are my favorite.I guess that explains why i have my cobra,and just like its driver,its motor is always running and it loves to handle curves.

I take the bus home.

Boru---I am asking you because you said that you had a Kia.
For 2002;do you know if they added a bigger engine?When I
bought my; Jeep Grand Cherokee;I wanted to buy a Kia.I looked
on the web and Kia only had a small 4cyl. for all models.I had an
old('84)Bronco11 that I would have jury-rigged to run forever.
My wife; usualy drives my Pontiac to work;(dependability)and she&one of my daughters;were bugging me to get something
newer and more dependable.I wanted something smaller and of
the same body style and while looking at ANOTHER vehicle at a
dealers;I spotted the Jeep.It had many options and an unbelievable price($12,900)I drove it;discussed it with my wife
and if they didn't raise the price;I thought;I would buy it before
they smartened up.The next day,I bought it.It was formerly a
leased vehicle;so everything was like new! Thanks,Irish
P.S.In my life,I have gotten out of more bad spots with power;
then with brakes.I have had a race-engined Firebird and many
high powered cars that I built but it's time to smarten up.As my
father said:"You can't beat a radio wave!"

I agree Pje...they handle the road so gracefully...not to mention the vibration of the engine felt in the drivers seat!!! :D :D :D

Now there is a toy I can handle driving everyday!!! ;) :D


(((Hmmm...maybee that's why Irish likes his bikes!!! :D :D )))

325 plus horse power
 

The Daily driver is a 1958 Chevy 4 door wagon, the Brookwood.
Has a 1984 Covette LT-1 under the hood, 325 plus horse power.
:D
We also have a 1959 Chevy Apache 9 Passenger Panel.

Here is the LT-1

:p

Reality--99' gold Blazer


dream--65' black Mustang Fastback

He's not the only one!!! :D

This is what my baby looks like

Nice Mustang Diva and love that motor M45. BTW, Diva let me know a few days before you visit so I can take the tranny out.;) PS Can someone PM me and explain how to attach a pic? Thanks

Sharni---Which engine does your Kawi have?My buddy had one
and stopped by my house one day after putting a new Parelli(sp)
back tire on.When he left the tire spun through high gear by just
accelerating! Irish

Sharni---Sorry!I just read the thread again and noticed that it said
750. Irish

Hmmm...

I guess I'm the token starving student. I can't afford a vehicle, so (like David Owiye) I'm pretty much resigned to public transit for the foreseeable future. Therefore, I'd have to describe my dream car this way:

A vehicle, preferably with circular wheels (square ones are such a pain), and which ideally would be propelled in something other than Fred Flintstone style (blisters on the feet not being my idea of sexy). Pedals are okay, a motor is better, and one which doesn't require hand-cranking to start is better still... If the whole contraption moves even slightly more quickly than I do on foot, I'm happy!

:rolleyes:

:D

--- sweetstuff

for Irish
 

Nope, no new engine for the Kia Rio,

all they added was a new radio and a lumbar support in the driver's seat. That and a few hundred dollars to the price.

BORU

I have to say, I'm in the same boat (or is that bus) as SFC

Reality: 1982 Mitsubishi L300 van (owned since new, personal
armchair.)

Dream: E-Type Jaguar, British Racing Green.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boru---Thanks.By the way;I love the Cherokee and never would
have looked at one,I just couldn't pass up the price on that one!
Diva---You want vibrations?When I lived in Conn.;I built a car that
was;strictly;for the Drag Strip.It was a Willys frame,Henry J body,
and a built-up Ford "426"Tunnelport eng.It had an Art Carr hydro-
stick(the first racing autos')You used the clutch;off the line;and then shifted without it.It had an;approx.25%eng. setback for wt.
transfer.It had many other mods.One time;I was going through
the 1/4mi.;and going through 2cd;I felt a vibration.It felt like a high-speed wobble on a bike.I skipped 3rd gear and just accelerated through 4th.I coasted through the end of the strip &
down part of the return road.While I was waiting for my tow
vehicle;I got out to servey what had happened.The welds on my
traction bars had broken!The only thing holding the rear end in was the shocks and driveshaft.I had turned 140mph. flat.That's
vibration! Irish
P.S.I never checked the H.P.;but the Holmon&Moody race team&
Eng. builders had an eng. like mine that put out 750hp. on a
dynomometer.They had one 4bbl.carb less&a one step milder camshaft
than me.I don't know about cars but if you hit the brakes;in a high
speed wobble on a bike;you go down.You just grit your teeth &
accelerate through it.

Diva got me all wet
 

with her picture of the '67 Mustang Fast Back. Oh gosh...the rev of that engine gets me all fired up...

I can be seen tooling around town in my "Barbie Jeep"...the 95 GEO Tracker...it's teal! :redghost:

To quote the Ides of March song...

"I'm your Vehicle, baby... I'll take you anywhere you wanna go!"

Re: Diva
 

Hmmm...I have always wanted to go to Disney World...what time shall I expect you to pick me up???? :D :D :D

Just think of the fun...we could do "it" in Magic Mountain!! :D :D

VW Bus... ;)

Reality 97 F150 King cab Or 95 MACK 613,
Dream Car 73 MACH 1 Convertible ,351 Boss(Sold the one I had, damn I miss that Car)

Saddaddy---I know how you feel!I miss my 68 Firebird H.O.(high
output)also.My best friends father&Granfather; in my hometown
in Conn.; owned the Pontiac Dealership.I practically grew up in that garage.(hence;my love for Pontiacs.)After High School;he was
a salesman there and gave me many things for cost.He was the
salesman on my Firebird and I ordered everything by part #.
Eng. block,heads,camshaft,valves,pistons,gear ratio,transmisson,
tires,wheels,etc.I paid about 1/5 the price of the 99GrandAm Ram-
Air that I bought new;here;and it was twice the car.No plastic.
Alas;nothing lasts forever!My buddy drank himself to death so I
guess that I won't get any cars from him! Irish
P.S.I have another car and a motorcycle that's not exactly stock!

Diva...
