Not sure if my GMC 2500 hd will inspire you. Although it's a 4 door so my dog has room to roam. I did beat my friend in a drag race the other day. He in an Audi TT, me pulling a bobcat on a trailer.

I drive a 2003 Nissan Sentra - totally custom paint job because it goes so fast that the paint peeled off of the hood and quarter panel. Actually I dont drive fast at all. Paint still peeled off.

Of course, it's gold

The gauges don't work - well they do if I hit the dash in just the right spot. The gas gauge however is a smart gauge - as in it is smart enough to think for itself and do as it pleases. Luckily, it never tells me it has MORE gas than it actually does.

CD player doesn't work either. I like radio better anyway.

I would have posted a pic, but I sent them all in to Lowrider - sorry

Cars! My favorite thing! Mine is my avatar, 07 Volvo S40 T5 AWD 6spd. Cheap to run, $85/mo full coverage, and actually quite fun.

Winter potholes claimed victory over those wheels though :-/

Thx, @Lathan. And no worries. It's a Maserati GranTurismo. I'm not a gear head either. I just thot it was beautiful.

And yes, @IAmTheJeff, that is a factory paint job. It's actually a dark metallic wine color called Bordeaux Pontevecchio. It is pretty rare . . . which is why I waited to find it!

Yes I sold a black x5 and bought another one within weeks :facepalm:

Currently driving a Mini just now as I got it on a good deal to sell on not sure what to purchase next certainly wont be anything over £10k
My favorite out of them all was either the BMW 530d or the VW R32 both where fun to drive and have fond memories.


edit : I love that Maserati and the colour its stunning

This was my first car when I got my license at 16.

Upgraded to a van a few years later after I developed a decent sized e-mail list. Needed a bigger vehicle to store the candy that I was funneling the existing customers towards.

Had quite a few vehicles through the years but bought this last one when I got tired of having a payment. Almost 225K on it now and it takes me anywhere I want to go. We go camping and trail riding quite a bit. Will also be taking me to Houston for C&B.

One of my favorite Euros. Super fun, super discreet, sounds great with the right aftermarket pipes, pretty cheap. Kudos for your taste in cars.

It's a 98.5 Audi A4, 5 speed of course. Ironically when I made this account in 2012 the Porsche Boxster S was my favorite car in production. Then in 2013 the Jaguar F-Type came out... next car might end up being a Jaaaaaaaaaag instead, if not another Audi after how great this one has been.

And Jill... the GranTurismo might be the prettiest car ever made.

What really sucks about your total is that it's totally repairable, and you could be driving that thing still. Insurance just doesn't see it as a worthwhile repair. Sorry for your loss :(

No it was totalled. It had over 5k dmg. He hit the center rail between the doors. The drivers door was out of square too. The wheel well was on the tire the cops had to pry it off to move the car. Plus it happened in pa the day before I was supposed to come back to ga. They would have had to ship it to me. Paid 2200 for the car got 4800 for it. (Over blue book I fought for higher value and won) I could have made them fix it. It was not worth it. That car was done...
Eta. The drivers door wouldn't open. I almost drove it back to ga. Hubs flipped n said hell no... once I had to leave pa without it I was done with it lol

This is my previous ride, thought I would post it up as it's something people outside of Australia probably haven't seen.

2002 Ford XR6 falcon Ute.

You guys are going to laugh, but this is my ride. I can afford to buy a car, but wouldn't be able to afford insurance.

This bike tops out at 60kph, and gets like 100 miles to the gallon. It's a 23 year old steel norco frame with a $200 engine kit from china attached to it. It vibrates a lot and it's a stinky 2 stroke. Riding it is kinda like playing with your life if you pin the throttle because bicycles are really only designed to go like 20kph tops.
