What (real) cars do you drive?

[grihn]

What do you all drive in your daily lives? Being an automotive enthusiast, side-job mechanic, and having a general addiction to anything with an engine and wheels, I've got a small fleet of cars which my wife claims is "ridiculous." But, they all serve a purpose.

'29 Model T "T bucket" - General fun cruiser that changes shape every few years.

'69 Chevelle - My baby, and one of my daily drivers. By far my favorite car.

'73 Buick Apollo (Buick's Nova) - Project car for me and my son, will be his first car. He's only 1 now, so it's currently in storage.

'91 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser - My other daily driver, and family road trip car. Seats 8 comfortably and is a ton of fun for the kids.

2003 Dodge Stratus - My wife's old college car. Currently use it as a loaner for my auto repair side business.

2005 Cadillac STS - My old college car. I drive it on bad weather days because it's AWD.

Not pictured:

Wife's 2014 Equinox. I hate that car and we're gonna be trading it for a Telluride once inventory gets back to normal.
2018 Nissan Frontier - Grandpa's truck that he left me when he died earlier this year. Currently used as a shop/farm truck, parts runner.

A Mazda/Toyota Fanboi here. I sold all of my vehicles and purchased a newer Chyrysler Pacifica minivan for the family. Haha. I think my favorite of your bunch is the wagon! Vans and wagons are stupid practical. I lived in Japan for some time and sold my TT Supra for a beater mini van so I could transport my scuba gear. No regrets.

The Taco is current, the others was from the days before kids.

I have two cars, and right now neither have run for a while. I bought the Samurai stock 18 years ago, fabbed everything myself (no kits). Wife blew the motor, so I've been hard at it building another. Megasquirt EFI with Hyabusa ITBs and heavy top end mods. The CRX is a rare EE8 VTEC model that I bought and imported from Germany. Had a fuel line leak and burned the engine bay down. I built a 350 HP N.A. ITR motor that I will drop in after I repair the fire damage... Got my work cut out for me. The CRX topped out at 150 mph on the autobahn, so I re-geared it for 170 mph and added aero, but moved back to the states before I could run it. I put about $7k into the undercarriage, so it handles like a F1 car. 10K rpm redline makes for a good time. The pic is from Nürburgring.

That CRX must get offers daily unless its hidden in the garage...?
Back in the day I worked for a Honda dealership and damn some of those STOCK CRX had some serious gettyup!
V-Dubs was the most street I got...been a truck guy mostly but I would buy a car like yours to make a profit with as I know guys go nuts for those Honda's.

sold my 2003 wrangler during the pandemic and bought this from a local cop.. I know they make meme’s out of people who own big black dodge’s (ram) but the price was right, the miles were low, and it was the only truck I could find that didn’t smell like low tide and 2 year old road kill…. Hahaha

I put about the same amount of miles on the bike as I do the truck…. I ride her till they start throwing rock salt… then the truck becomes the daily…

My coworker’s truck (Chevy)…. Not mine…

is it wrong to add anti lag and a turbo to my 2 foot tall mini bike that i made from aluminum tubing and put a 2 stroke engine on?

That depends on how it looks.

I have 2 of them also! Mine has a stage 1 kit done to it… my son’s is waiting for his… winter project…. I live on the beach so the fat tire mini bike is the way to go! Cheap and fun! Mine tops out around 50mph. My son’s hits 38-39 mph…. Don’t mind the shed. Packed up for winter…

Or better yet! Get yourself one of the COOLSTER mini jeeps! Bought one during the pandemic…. What a blast… 124cc 3 speed plus reverse! Tops out at 41mph….

this but with a turbo sticking out the side and a pop tune/ launch control

For those of you I've had conversation with, you know I'm an odd bird. It's no different when it comes to what I drive. Since I was 16 I've always had a Dakota in my possession... whether it be a daily or project. I currently have 5, and have had around 30 over the years. My wife drives a Camry. Meh. Photos are my project (in its current broken state) and my daily. I can't find a pic of my 95, I have a 96 (parts truck really, but runs) and my 98 is going to be my kids first truck.

 

[StephenSchandelmayer]

The truck is our 1947 Ford pickup that we use for fun and for advertising for our company. The mustang is my daily

That jeep is sick!!!

My daily. I try to show it as much as possible but she’s usually grubby.

I really want to take a giant diesel engine and put it in a tesla. I am going to call that car the great equalizer.
