'06 Jetta 2.0T Pkg 3, APR chipped, wearing winter shoes: the family car

'99 Taco TRD SR5, slow as hell, and tough as nails: my daily driver

'08 Mazdaspeed3 GT, light mods, a David among Goliaths. Thoroughly embarrasses cars 3x its price at the track.

I don't believe I've ever seen a Lexus ES250 like that. You don't really see the older ones around here. Maybe a LS400 every now and then, but I don't believe I've seen one of those. I'd rock it. 😎
 
My old 2004 Ford XR8 Ute with a 5.4ltr Quad Cam Boss V8 that I sold due to constant mechanical problems (god I miss driving it!)

And my current mode of transport a 2004 Nissan Navara Ute with 3ltr Turbo Diesel that takes care of offroad fishing/camping duties

I have to stop buying black cars, to hard to keep clean!

It'd sure be nice if the board did this automatically for over 800x600 or so...


My E30 needing a wash terribly so...

Have a BBK coming for the rear as the current 5 lug swap has abysmal brake bias toward the front with the 318ti rear brakes and M3 fronts...so Massive Brakes 310x32 Wilwood rear kit to the rescue, and Ground Control camber plates in the mail to gain steering. Euro grills on their way to trash the eyebrows...

One thing I love, is parking this car...there is always room! (and yet I still manage to park on the darn line!!! )

Amazing. My favourite generation I think 🙂

I know how you feel! I learned driving with a Honda Odyssey, and my car is a 2 seater and is almost a whole 4 feet shorter. Love parking now.

Where did you take these pics? Looks like Santa Barbara coastline...
 
As much as I love that NSX above, does anyone buy american in this place? Seems like a lot of audis and bimmers. I fully enjoy my choice of automobile 🙂 07' Chevrolet Trailblazer SS (6.0L 396 V8 LS2). No problem in the midwest winters and tons of towing capacity and power in the spring/summer.

Anyone got a Camaro?

I really want one in the UK, but heard such bad things about American cars feeling cheap, and not being able to turn corners 😀

american cars have come a LONG way in the last few years, and the muscle cars are amazing. A camaro would look REALLY cool in England, because you wouldn't see many of them there. And the higher end camaro zl1 is nothing to sneeze at. If you really want a muscle car with serious performance look at the mustang Boss 302. I would never buy one in the states because they are so common but having one in england would be very cool for the same reason I drive a 370z in the states... rarity.

We are planning a move to the US, and if it happened, I would have to decide between a Camaro or a Mustang. I think the Camaro looks better, but what I've read about the interior being cheap plastic isn't very pleasing 🙁

Though, a Camaro in the UK would be amazing. Only issue would be filling that V8 with your £1,50 per litre gasoline! 😛

But as far as it goes for American cars, I used to buy only european and japanese. But then, I owned one of those very common 1998 Grand Cherokee's, and my concept of what an SUV is really changed. Now I drive a Ford Fusion, and I can tell you, at least from what I've seen, no one makes affordable cars as well built and as comfortable as Detroit.

Of course, if you're planning to spend $45k in a Cadillac DTS, you already fall in my concept of mad, because a BMW 5 series is a much better car.

For $45K you get a nicely equipped 1-series or entry level 3-series, or a 335i if you don't add any options, but not a 5-series, unless you get pre-owned.
