    This is from a sticker at this site: http://www.rottencotton.com

    They have some really crazy shirts. Some of my favs are 'The Juice is loose' and the Ken Foree homage shirt.

    Nice bro!

    Always wanted a 13b powered first gen. :)

    I knew the black one was because of the rims, couldn't see them on the white one.

    You don't have either any more?

    Pity :(

    I own a Saturn SL1 4door Sedan 1992. It has almost 150k miles even though odometer says 99k. I got the car for free from my stepdad as a gift, however I had to pay to get it running again as it was broken down when I got it. I've had it since March 2003 and since then I have put in almost $2000 into it. Here's whats I had replaced:

    March 2003: New feul-line, plus new fluids, new spark plugs, new timing belt and regular tune-up. $329.
    June 2003: New feul pump. $329
    July 2003: New timing chain for inside the engine. $501.
    September 2003: New radiator. $250
    December 2003: New ignition panel (that thing that connects to the spark plugs), plus new spark plugs and cables for it. $188.
    March 2004: New feul sensor. $175.

    Grand total of $1772. I'm now about to see if the rack and pinion plus CV joints need to be replaced/fixed. On top of that I'm saving up money for a new engine and tranny incase they break down. If they do and I do get a new engine and tranny in, then I'll basically end up with a car who's condition is that of an $8000 car but I'd put in almost $5k into the whole car plus it would have 0 miles on the new odometer that I will get for when I do that major overhaul.

    I own one of most luxurious french car (a bit like the mustang GT).
    The "Peugot 305 GLI" (Grand Luxe - Ivory edition).
    Unfortunately, the inboard electronic is a bit dead :( .

    Im the proud owner of a dieing 1992 Ford Aerostar! The windows dont work and neither does the air conditioning! What a treat for summer weather! The radio refuses to tune and the door is held on with duct tape. So much love in that car man :p. Did I mention when I hook up my tape converter for my MP3 Player it makes te most horrendous screeching noise?

    And I thought I was the only one who owned a POS car. The AC on mine luckily works but doesn't cool the air and I have no radio.

    Haha, my ride too, '92 Aeroshit (extended) and the fucking AC doesnt work either! Windows do though,lol.

    Shit, yeah. I was lurking in shame looking enviously at everyone's decent rides too. Don't worry, you aren't alone, haha.

    Family cars: 1987 BMW 528e, 2005 Toyota Corolla.

    The BMW is great fun to drive...most of the time. I'm still not that great at driving stick so sometimes driving it is a little stressful.

    The Corolla is at the dealership waiting to be picked up tomorrow night!
     
  13. Hmmm mines a 1980 2.5ltr SWB Diesel Land-Rover...

    ...Not really a car, more like a tractor :)

    I've got a '98 S14 240SX.

    Used to drive a 2004 WRX, decided AWD is no fun. I'd still take an EVO VIII MR FQ400, wish they sold them here (we only get the normal MR).

    A Sileighty is NOT a normal 240sx. It is an S13 hatchback (aka 180sx) with the front-end from an S13 Silvia (aka S13 Coupe).

    SILvia + oneEIGHTY = Sileighty

    Likewise, the American S13 coupes, which were produced with the japanese 180sx front-end, are generally known as "One-vias"

    Gouki: Nice Turbo II. My roommate has a '91 TII, which is definitely not in as good of condition as yours is, but still pretty good. He's also got a busted throttle position sensor right now, so as he's running off-boost, he's lucky if he's putting out 100hp, lol.

    Oh, and the Noble M12/M400 is the coolest car ever. Doesn't it out G the McLaren F1 on a skidpad? That's sick...
