This will be the 40th post and nobody has mentioned motorbikes (I was browsing without external images on mind).... I am not sure if that is for shame gbatemp or not.

Right now there is little point in me having a vehicle so nothing. Were I to get one tomorrow it would probably be a Transit or something similar- they are fine to drive, fuel (diesel naturally*) is about in line with a modest car and being able to chuck a sofa, building materials, ramps, motorbikes and whatever else in the back does well.

*I do not know if it is just the West coast US but unlike there it is notable if a petrol station does not have diesel and you will probably have to go out into the sticks and then to a really old "mom and pop" type place to find one.

Ford Taurus 2003, it lasted me through out my university and I'm sure the transmission is about to give

I don't think Stater Brothers enjoy where I park

my dad won't even let me ride his motorcycle. not the big bike one. the one used in asian countries. kinda like a scooter.

maybe it's cause of the way i use my bike when younger. next time he'll see me might be in drag races. or in a hospital with broken bones.

anyways. i just commute. better coz i can sleep while travelling.

2006 Honda Civic (me)
2001 Toyota Highlander (family car)

I'll never buy an American car again. Went through 2 Pontiacs, a Ford, and a Chevy between 2001 and 2006. Bought the Honda and a 1997 Toyota Camry in 06 and haven't had any issues. Camry got totaled last fall though (got rear-ended by a punk-ass kid) and we bought the Highlander.

Oh shit my family has a 97 Camry it still drives well even though the engine sounds like a bike.
It'll probably be the car I drive.

My 97 Camry had over 220,000 miles on it and was still running strong up until it got totaled...

Mine had 280.000 KM on it's engine and body.

It still runs as smooth as a sewing machine.
I plan to give the engine a thorough clean one day.

Going to replace the timing belt as well as vee belt + waterpump and other parts that are submissive to wear and tear as a preventive measure if it reaches 300.000 without any problems.

Wow, a 97 Camry was my first car. Used to be my sisters until she got a new one, then I got that. DIdn't run for a while at first, but we fixed it up and everything until one day it just died. Was a nice car though.

1988 4Runner, 5 speed 4 cyl 22RE, near indestructible truck. Currently has 37X,XXX kms on it and still going strong.

Like this but no stripes and I have 31" BFGs on mine:

@[member='Vulpes Abnocto'] - I think that having 31" Big Fucking Guns on it is cooler. :D

I drive a dark blue 93 Toyota Camry, one of the v6 ones. It looks somewhat beat up but it still runs fine for its age. Goes through fuel a bit fast for my tastes. Overall not a bad first car.

A 2002 MkI Ford Focus. Had it for quite a while, its reliable as hell and Ive only had to change tyres, brakes (the usual consumables). Its got 79,000 on the clock, which for a 10 year old motor isn't bad. The wife has a 2002 one as well, just as reliable as mine and hers has got 180,000 miles on it.

I've got an mkiv gti. 1.8t. Bought her brand new on February 27, 2004. Reflex Silver. Currently has 73,xxx miles. my daily commute is only about 1 mile each way. She's taken me everywhere from Maine to Miami. Love that car, but i still miss my 1991 honda crx with the b18 swap. That was a fun little car.

Bunch o pics inbound.








1995 Infiniti G20, factory leather, power windows, power seats... the only thing that this doesn't have is heated seats XDDD

Put up a few pictures of my audio setup also. Parrot Asteroid radio, a Pyramid 7-band equalizer preamp, Pyle PLBS12 sub, a Lanzar amp that I can't remember the model of, and Polk rear speakers (Polk in the front too but I don't want to take my door panels off XD). Thing runs pretty well, the last transmission was a piece and blew, new one runs better.

Edit - (That's my mom's Mazda CX-7 next to my car. That thing's a beast :O )

I drive a Mazda B2500. Its a good pickup. The only pickups I like more are the originals. That's right, the B2500 is a straight rip of a Ford Ranger. I have to say the engine in mine is a bit more superior than Fords since it has two rows of spark plugs for superior mileage. I'd like an extended cab Ranger though. Bright red with a nice matching bed cover. A man can dream can't he?
