The what do you drive thread!!!

I agree. And I was also sad the Arrowhead died.

Sadface when building a 69 Camaro from the ground up.
I would share pictures but theres literally nothing but parts and a new frame atm

Just washed my truck up.

1994 Mustang GT, with the old 5.0 . Currently has 253k+ miles, the odometer was stuck at 212 when I bought it. It was bone stock when I bought it, but There is a story to go with how I got it too.


last shot taken before my camera died. Since then I lowered it, changed the tail lights, and added a chin spoiler of an '04 Mach 1 Mustang

Mod list:
17x9 '95 Cobra R wheels, kumho tires 265/40 front, 295/40 rear
Billstien HD shocks/Struts

31-spline 3.73 gears
Mosler forged Axles
custom ECU tune (so far dyno says 255 hp/305 ft/lbs, but I've ran an 8.4 in the 1/8th)

I should hopefully  be changing the engine out this summer. I've been working on a 331 stroker for it for some time, a computer program used for tuning says it should be capable of 485 horsepower, but that's before the transmission and things. But for a car with about $7k in it (including purchase costs) I think that'd it'll be a quick poor-mans car.

Even with the crazy high mileage, I still race it. lol.

(ok, the GT-R should have won, but that was one of my best 60 foots)

As for how I got it,it was a craigslist find. The ad linked to an ebay auction that was at $4,000+, but the fine print said to show up with $2800 cash and you can drive away with it. So I did that,and it's some shack behind a strip mall in town. The guy (and i assume his wife who liked to show cleavage) tried to talk me into getting a Mitsubishi Eclipse they had, but I didn't want it. I asked to test drove the mustang, they said it's kinda loud.  I looked under the car and someone had taken a sawz-all to the exhaust just after the cats. Drove fine, so I bought it. Bonus for having a very nice black interior, and really good original paint (clear coat hasn't came up at all yet). A week or so after that, someone else driving that same Mitsubishi Eclipse tried to stoplight duel me. I smoked him, must have chosen right.

Depends where in Florida. If you live close (within a couple of miles) to the gulf or ocean, you get salty air.

I just found this thread.  A lot of nice rides pictured here.

A few years ago I didn't even own a cage.  One of the benefits of living in the south. 

I rode a 2001 FLHPI until some asshole turned left in front of me in his 2000 lb phone booth.  I loved that bike.  It was the best riding 2 wheeler I ever owned. 

   


I was a little banged up after that so I bought another Jeep.  This one is the 5th is a long line of Jeeps over the years.

We have a winner!  FLHPI = Fuel injected Police Edition Road King.  Air shocks front and rear.  The Mustang cop air ride seat.  Rubber mounted foot boards and rubber mounts in the clamps on the risers.  It'd sit and lope at lights but once you twisted the throttle all the vibration disappeared.  Heel/toe shifter and the hard bags with the hockey pucks that made it easy to get into them while mounted.  Damn I miss that bike.

I bought it with only 6000 miles on it from the widow of a buddy.  He was diagnosed with a brain tumor a few months after he bought the bike.  It had been originally owned by a company out west that dealt in police equipment.  It was the show bike that got set up at trade shows and drooled over so it never saw service as a police bike.  The only down side of sitting so much was that I had to replace a dry rotted primary belt not long after I bought it.  That was a chore.

40 years of riding, been down 3 times and still no permanent injuries.  A bit of road rash scarring on my elbow that I rubbed to the bone and I'm beginning to feel some arthritis in a hand that I busted up back in the early 80's but nothing that I can directly attribute to a particular accident. 

I've always like the 4Runners.  You see them all over so Toyota must be doing something right with them.  It sounds like you lucked into an excellent deal on yours.  Congratulations.

The FJ "Tonka Toy" is a good looking vehicle too.  I don't know how they'll hold up over time but most Toyota products have pretty good life spans so hopefully they'll hang around.

I used to be an American made advocate. Funny thing that the Toyota Camry is the most American made vehicle there is. And after a superior court decision many years ago, a lot of American companies - Harley-Davidson included - are not allowed to advertise American Made or Made in U.S.A. anymore, only American Owned. Hmm. So yeah, I'll buy a used foreign vehicle that will outlast & outperform a brand new American one anyday.

My used 4runner was built in Japan of course & Fuck You troll find someone else to entertain your simple mind today.

Keep this thread clean, please.
