What Do You Drive

[Kill_em_All]

Just curious.

Right now I have three cars. A 1998 Mustang GT that I got about six weeks ago...

I had an LT1 Camaro that I had grown bored with after building it into a 500hp demon. So I figured I'd switch sides and get a Mustang. I'm finding aftermarket parts are cheaper and more plentiful than GM.

My daily driver is a 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. 6.1 Liter Hemi, 400+ hp off the showroom floor. I'm kicking around selling it because the gas is killing me.

I also have a 1971 Dodge Challenger 440 six pack that's in pieces in my garage waiting for me to restore. Thus far I have the body off of the frame on a rotisserie, sandblasted the frame and body, and have the engine in parts. I have all of the parts/accessories to complete it, I'm just too fucking lazy.

I drive a 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sahara and a 1995 Honda Shadow. I just got the a new top for the Jeep. Other than that, it is pretty basic (beside the big tires). My bike got a crash bar a few weeks ago - I am glad I decided to get one but that's a different story.

I drive an 02 Honda Odyssey.. that is never clean. Beige and has a plastic mustache.

[KommieKat]

I've given up on driving, the first dtime in my legally aged driving experience.

Just don't need to here when Mass transit is so much more cheaper and convinient. (And no smelly homeless stinnking like pee pee sitting next to you either!)

I dont miss the mess, the parts replacments, the insurance, the oil changes, the self service gas smell on you hand the cleaning in and out, traffic and sitty drivers.

that's the best part! they're hilarious :D


traffic and sitty drivers.

Hmm.. in my experience, they've all been sitting.

I drive a '98 Nissan Maxima GLE given to me as a wedding gift from the father in law who replaced it with an BMW M5. He has never allowed me to drive it, nor should he ever.
The wife drives a '05 Nissan Altima. She would like it replaced with a new Camaro convertible SS. I won't argue with her as she makes the money.
I also drive a '88 Honda Shadow and a '00 Harley Ultra.

I'd LIKE to be driving:
- '98 Mitsubishi 3000GT turbo charged to insanity
- Late 90's model Suzuki Hayabusa with appropriate modifications for stupid speed
- Big Dog Mastiff for slight practicality and v-twin style

'98 Mitsubishi 3000GT turbo charged to insanity

four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering <---- With that? Me too!!

[Firestorm]

2009 Chevy Impala LT with a 9C1 police package. Love this car for long trips.

[Gravy]

2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8 GSR imported from Japan. Estimated at around 240kw at all 4 wheels with the current modifications to it, but watch this space over the next 12 months.

Also occasionally take home work cars (all European shit-boxes), but mostly for diagnostic purposes as I literally live 30 seconds from work.

[Stickman]

2009 Mazda3 SP25 Sedan. It's a decent car. Gets me around well enough for my liking.

[Capt.]

1999 Chevrolet Lumina LTZ

230hp of grandma ass-kicking power.

[surgicalstrike]

2010 Nissan Titan. Love my truck! Had a 09 Titan base model first to see if I would like it before spending the extra jack for brand new with fluff comforts, that and the 09 was under 20k with only 5k on the clock.

Virtual keying.....sucks.

I used to drive a 99' Sunfire GT. Before it got impounded.

.. Not really that big of a loss though I must admit.

[funeeman]

2011 Chevy Silverado 3/4 ton.

Dude, what did you do?

[Deadly_Toxin]

Dude, what did you do?

Uhm. I was really... really... really stupid and decided to drive home after having a couple beers and got pulled over and got a DUI. So they took my license and my car. Yep.

Really stupid.

[SlimSkeeter]

Really stupid.

Yep.... I agree.

[Deadly_Toxin]

Yep.... I agree.

Shhh I already know.

They even put me in the paper. :(

[SlimSkeeter]

Nice! Sounds like my nephew. Except his DUI was given after rolling his truck and damn near killing himself. He made the paper, too.

Don't worry.... It'll be ok. How long til you get your license back?

I had a fling with a girl that drove the exact same car during my freshman year in college.

She bruised my heart muscle. :(

I got pulled over because I slowed down five km when I noticed OPP behind me. That was the only reason he pulled me over. Apparently my driving was fine.

And I go to court tomorrow! So I'll letcha know then, but it'll probably be two years and a thousand dollar fine.

Sorry?

I'd fight it. My uncle got off a DUI charge, getting an attorney was well worth it. These blood level indicators are a fucking joke..I won't even chance ONE beer anymore.

Srsly get a lawyer!! Being pulled over for slowing down a tad is not valid, unless you were speeding.

Yeah.... Not sure about the laws in Canuck land, though... But I'd still see about fighting it. EVERYONE lets up on the gas a bit when they see a cop. Even if it's only long enough to check to see if they were speeding or not.

[SlimSkeeter]

^^^^ Also... a 5mph variation here isn't a viable reason to get pulled over ANYWAY. I would assume a 5kph variation would be the same way. Something to do with the speed sensor in your car not being entirely accurate all the time or the natural human tendency to not stay in the same position for friggin ever. It's a natural variation, in any case. Not worthy of suspicion...

[surgicalstrike]

In Uncles case..he hit the bob-dobs (divide lanes) on the freeway. He was BARLEY over the limit. Basically got off when the cop couldn't answer what/why the bob-dobs were for!? LOL Also, during the sobriety test my uncle skipped one of the letters in the alphabet...after the trial, one of the jurors told him that this thing alone made them think guilty, yet went home and wrote them out, only to find out he missed one too. Let alone being on the side of a major freeway, at night with your head tilted back and balancing on one foot.

[Titty]

He was BARLEY over the limit.


Well, there's the problem.

[CrAnIuM]

Well, there's the problem.

Just add hops ...

[Deadly_Toxin]

Ahaha. Swollen cranium via phone while in court? Good idea? Apparently so.

I may just plead guilty for the sake of I don't want to stay in Ontario for months while I'm waiting for the next court date.

[Kill_em_All]

Totally true story; I actually went to traffic court drunk when i was 18. Had a Monday-Funday and forgot I had court for a speeding ticket that night. Rather than risk the warrant, I decided to go drunk (18 year old logic). They were calling out names of defendants.......Jose Munoz, Juan Vasquez, Jose Somethingmexican.......when I stand up and blurt out "IT'S TACO NIGHT AT ST LOUIS COUNTY TRAFFIC COURT!!!". I was held in contempt, slapped with a public intoxication misdemeanor, minor in possession of alcohol misdemeanor, and on top of all of that, found guilty of 75 in a 55.

The moral of the story is....

Court was in the mornin for me, so I left getting drunk to after.$

Oh and it was adjourned till july eighth.
.. Yay.

[surgicalstrike]

Well, there's the problem.

True, but this guy is basically a functioning alcoholic. If he doesn't get a little vodka everyday, he starts to shake. The point was that he got off the DUI charge because the officer didn't really have a valid reason for pulling him over. (Hitting the bob dobs for a split second then driving perfectly fine for 2-3 miles before being pulled over.)

I still say fight the charge, seems a cough drop could put you over the limit nowadays.

[Deadly_Toxin]

Yeah. I'll just say I just rinsed my mouth with Listerine before driving, and accidentally drank half the bottle while I was at it.

They breathalyzed moi a total of three times. Once in the police car and twice when we got to the station with fifteen minute interval between the two. It's kinda hard to argue that. Plus they tested the machine's accuracy both before and after testing. Ahh..

I'll probably take the disclosure to a lawyer just in case anyways. Bleh.
