What Does Your Car Say About You? (The Car Thread)

Yeah, I drive a 2006 Civic. Go ahead and laugh. I like it.
I'm not laughing. I drove "fun" cars that always broke the fuck down and sucked money out of my wallet faster than Trexx on E until I bought an 06 Civic out of absolutely necessity for having a reliable car (job). Six years later, nothing but routine maintenance and the damn thing runs like its off the factory floor.

Fuckin' Japs.

300C's look pretty good to me, like a gangster car maybe. Hell, Ed Harris drove one in "History of Violence" come to think.

Gangster car list: 300C. Lincoln Town Car. 70s-80s Cadillacs. 90s Mercedes S class. Bentleys.

I roll a 2012 Town & Country, I just picked it up in August. If you have ever driven one and have kids you will understand. That said it isn't ideal for day to day business, I am in finance/banking. I guess it does send a message to my prospects that I am a family dude and that is cool with me.

The plan is the wife will be taking this once her company car lease is up, hopefully Q1 2013. At that time I think I will grab 300.

What does my car say about me?

Marij THC FX34 V20


stock is around 579,561 block(crank[knob]) horsepower(BCKHP) twisting around 9000 foot kilometers(f/km) of torque(even came with a wrench)

of COURSE i totally modded it with the new Grouper 6.92(v.56)Header fuel lines and overdrove the system ratio to about .003 so just double all the first numbers and you are about 1/2(0.5) to where I'm sitting with this baby.

I was going to shave the blast ports but I went full tilt and got the Brazilian. For you non-car types that basically means the horses in horsepower are now rhinos so i am rocking Rhinopower(protip) straight through the wheels and INTO THE TIRES. Yeah thats right.

Some of the other mods

* Added a 256k torque cache so all my torques stay torqued
* replaced the RattleSnack12 core-bore shifter to a full double-fisted tranny(post-op with all the extas)
* molded a new front and rear slip-dip double tip to be hip with the drip(44xvt's to the warp center so it stays within ballast range)
* i disabled the brakes..fuck em
* Roast vegetables at 450? F. for 30 minutes, removing garlic when browned and soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Top eggplant slices with polenta slices and cheese. Squeeze garlic from cloves; mix garlic and beans into tomato mixture. Return both pans to oven and roast 10 minutes longer.
* carved out the center die-cast pig-irons(KLbt.03's) and duel-wielded a spork enticer with bicarbonates (had to import these from Japan) so I get that extra pep through the turns
* green

I'm amazed you can get a new Mustang for $21,500 in the states, that buys you an entry level Fiat 500 here in the Great Socialist Haven Continent. A new Camaro costs $123,000, two thirds of which is taxes and "CO2 levies". Dunno how many trees they're buying with 80 grand worth of CO2 taxes but going by the price of christmas trees, this continent should be a fucking rainforest by now. Oh and gas is $8/gallon. Fucking socialists.

I guess my car says "I'm gay." It is a pretty fun car as far as bugs go. Turbo S, gti drivetrain. If you aren't laughing yet, try this:she drives a beetle too. That's right, his and hers beetles bitches. Unfortunately they are both long in the tooth, so new cars inc soon.

not mine but looks exactly like this

Subaru Legacy, switched from a 2004 Rav 4 due to hating the interior space. Love this thing, first Subaru for me and the wife. Couple more years once paid off I will get my Impreza STI 5 door.

New WRX's inc. The 2014's will be split off from the Impreza line altogether, and put on its own chassis and given its own platform. I just hope to hell they don't try and push some lame coupes on us.

2008 V6 Toyota Camry. Reliable and practical, all I really care about. Bought new in 08, has had zero problems, only routine maintenance done.

I had a 05 Legacy GT. Fast as shit. Kinda wish I had kept it as they're kinda rare.

I really like Subaru. Rumor has it that 2014 will bring us a turbo BRZ. That will be mighty tempting.

I am a "car guy" , but with a family I have to compromise with my daily driver. I had a 08 Mazdaspeed 3 that I bought brand new, had to sell it 2010 when I bought the restaurant. Drove a 06 F150 while I had the restaurant, you really can't beat a truck when you own a business and have to haul crap.

I am now in the process of shutting down the restaurant and just picked up an 04 mazda 6 wagon. It sounds gay, but it's pretty damn rad. I've always loved hatches and wagons. Sucks that Europe gets all the good ones.

If I had it my way, I would be driving a new Audi RS6 Avant. 560hp and room for everything, yes plx!
