OT: What do y'all DRIVE?

[HunterSThompson]

AWESOME! That black Charger looks great. The photoshopped pic reminds me of the '77 Buick Regal I bought with a couple of friends back in '99 - we each kicked in $20 and that paid for the car and a half dozen cans of Krylon which we promptly used on the car. It's no '68-'69 Charger, but we did have some serious fun for 3 days before it got taken away from us (but that's another story)....

So what was it....mailbox baseball...or out doing lawnjobs that go the car taken ????While I was in high school back on Long Island..My mom was a book-keeper..One of her accounts was a junkyard..Free tires & fuel from old cars brought in..Had a Olds Cutlass 4-door ....with the rocket motor...we loaded the boys up..and go out lawnjobbing on the sod-farms off of the L.I.E ..or my boy Jay worked at the Bagel King..we'd load the car down with week old bagels..thousands..And go around nailing kids at the mall..Always wanted to see the police report...officer..I was.."BAGELIZED" I also landscaped..so we'd go repo..sprinkler systems & foliage (trees,bushes ,hedges)from deadbeat customers ..nothing like dragging 8 zones of sprinkler heads and PVC tubing down the Meadowbrook Parkway at 3 in the morning with a car loaded down with 18 ground spreading junipers in the trunk and an arborvitae hanging out the back seat window
I'm going to stop..some of these crimes might still have grandfather clauses attached to them

Nope, nothing like that at all. Interesting stories you tell, tho.

 

[NorM]

Automobile magazine's 2007 Car of the Year
The Volkswagen GTI
Limited Edition Fahrenheit Model 423 / 1200​

The color is called Magma Orange But I think it looks more like Dessert Gold. For comparison I have included the Bongo I Bought on BP's Birthday Street named "B4"

Also I still have the '99 Cougar. It's the same color as AZ Dirt so I never have to wash it. The MM on the plate stands for Music Man.

 

[Beth]

NorM, did you drive to that spot just to take a pic of the Dub with your Bongo?

I love the name of that shop in the background "Sew Much More", lol!

Nice rides! I had a 77 Cougar in college. We called it "The Swooptee". That thing was wicked cool!

 

[jongitarz]

Have any timeslips with it? I'm guessing you are at least in the mid-13's, if not lower. Those are the wheels I was dying for, until I realized that I love the stock ones... I'll probably go with 18inch bullitt wheels in black or satin silver when I have the money, with some of those Eibach springs. Chrome would look out of place, since my car has such a tame color scheme.

My wheels are the silver ones...Not Chrome. I live on the coast. Chrome will not.

 

[GWDavis28]

I have 2 Jeep.

1. 1996 Jeeo Grand Cherokee (Mine)
2. 1998 Jeep Cherokee Classis (My wifes)

I have a feeling that a 4 bangers gonna be in m y near future the Jeeps get crappy mileage. There are plenty to check on the horizon. Prius, Madza 3 5 door, Used Mini.

Yes I did! I really need better things to do on my day off. I knew there was a huge saguaro cactus there but I couldn't get to it. There are some saguaros in the distance you might can see on the right side of the pic.

I went to another spot and got this pic with the saguaro but I forgot to pull out the "B4"

Very Cool NorM!!!!

Is the Cougar Egyptian Smoke???

 

[NorM]

Very Cool NorM!!!!

Is the Cougar Egyptian Smoke???

Actually I think it's closer to Las Vegas Gold

 

[pjc812]

I drive a little 49cc motor scooter! 80 + MPG BABY!!!

Then when the wife and baby are with me, Buick LeSabre. Boring, but my gear fits in it with a car seat.

 

[fogman]

Actually, I beg to differ.
The Bongo is Egyptian Smoke and the Al is Las Vegas!!!!

 

[NorM]

Well made point sir.
I'll see if I can borrow maddog's EgSm bongo for a direct shoot.

 

[lenny]

Thats a schweeet Ride NorM....wowsers thats the first one of those i have seen ...!Very Cool!

As I mentioned in Wonderdog's thread about cars, I bought this to match my JP:

But given the price of gas, unfortunately this is my new commuter:

I see you have the newer model with the blue roof!
Our has a yellow roof.

 

[MN246]

Depending on what the wife decides to drive for the day I'm in either a 2005
Ford Five Hundred (mine) or 2004 Ford Expedition (wife's). I'll soon be adding a C6 Vette or Porsche Cayman. I haven't decided yet. In the mean time, if I hit the lottery it will be a Ford GT. I'm not holding my breath for that.

Yeah...it's a 2007. I did say I just got it due to the price of gas....

Three characters. Z06 . But if between those two, I'd say Cayman.
