Title: Your car
Post by: RevveR on Jun 18, 2006, 11:02 PM
Talk about your or your parents' car. My parents have a 1988 Honda Civic. Crap junk: no comfort, broken dashboard, broken taillights, broken hood and broken roof.

I bet the majority of you will have a better car than me :P .

I currently own a 2004 Nissan Frontier XE V6. Just got it last week. I like it so far, much different owning a truck.

My previous car was a 96 Camaro RS, with a 350 LT1 dropped in there, and it was far from stock. It was pretty quick, until I blew the engine :( Decided it wasn't worth it to fix it, and bought the truck.

My Mom owns a 2002 (I think) Honda Oddesy, and my Dad has a 96 Corvette Collectors edition (Lt4 engine... very nice).

My parents have a 2001 Mazda 323 1.6. Silver, manual and 4drs. Completely stock. Trying to get my dad to at least change to a sportier set of rims.

We might be getting a new car soon though...

(and I stay at the top of that block of flats in the upper right corner. 24 storeys up, to be precise)

BTW, Mike, you Camaro looks (or looked) sweeeeeet!

Thanks :) I miss it already. Sold it to my mechanic though, so at least I know it's going to get fixed up and not just go to a junkyard

Whoa, the Camaro is gone? :o I had no idea, pity. :(

The Frontier also looks badass though, in a completely different kind of way. I can imagine it taking some getting used to. ;)

Myself, I have a 1993 Peugeot 106 1.0 :P At the time, my budget for transportation was somewhat limited, but I'm still quite happy with it. And it's red, so it's automatically faster.
Recently had a run-in with a Volvo XC90 unfortunately; it backed into my front end when it spotted a parking space a few yards back and suddenly threw it in reverse. XC90 rear bumpers leave a nasty dent in your hood/grille... :/ Luckily it still runs okay and it'll be fixed next week.

Red does give you 20 more HP and 10mph to your top speed :p

That sucks that you got hit though. Insurance is covering the cost of the repairs, I hope?

Yeah, the Camaro is no longer. I miss it, but I'll have another one someday :) the truck definitely takes getting used to. Merging onto the freeway just seems to take so much longer, hehe

I'd probably go for the new Challenger.....

My parents have a 2000 Saab 9-5, 99 Chevy Tahoe, and a 93 Chrysler Le Baron Convertible.
Title: Your car
Post by: Car Freak on Jun 22, 2006, 8:02 PM
Yeah, I prefer the Challenger too, but I'd rather have a '69 Charger... Best looking classic Muscle Car IMO

Went to google, and I must say it's a pretty nice looking car... It's probably not a front-driver right? Can u show us some pics of it?
Title: Your car
Post by: The Stig on Jul 01, 2006, 1:57 PM
Intrepid? Yeah it's FWD, as far as I know anyway.

Ooh, nice cars. Really like the BMW, but that doesn't mean I'm not jealous of the 'Vette ;)

WHOA! YOU HAVE A CORVETTE? :o
Title: Your car
Post by: BMWsport on Jul 18, 2006, 3:46 AM
thanks :)

vette is stock, and the W has quite a bit of work done to it - notably, the suspension.  (in my garage, or my friends).  Got that car back in 1998, started in the nfs series in 2000?

Post by: Car Freak on Aug 24, 2006, 2:40 AM
I didn't say the old Camaros are not nice. The best of the oldies would be the '68 and '69 models. But I still like the '69 Charger the best.
