[Unknown Target]

Stealth's post reminded me that I wanted to do this. We haven't had a look at everyone's ride in awhile, so I figured I should start a thread!

Here's mine, a 1997 Chevy Malibu. 60,xxx+ miles. The left headlight doesn't work, the engine stalls out randomly (or if I give it too much gas at once), it sputters, I took out the catalytic converter because it got so clogged the engine wouldn't start, I used to have a roach problem until I laid down two boxes of roach motels, the front two blinkers don't work, my liscence plate is held on by a nut/bolt and a zip-tie, I have no windshield wipers (have to stick my head out the window when it's raining) aaaand my CD player doesn't work/my cassette player switches the tapes' sides every couple of seconds. I also never get more than one passenger, so the rear seats have gotten...a tad messy.

EDIT: Oh, and I know it looks like an automatic, but the gear timing is off or something, so I actually have to manually shift it if I don't want it to sputter out on me when climbing a hill/starting from a stop light. So basically I drive it like a manual.

But I do love her so













A fine example of the "island car".

I have a bicycle. It gets me everywhere I need to go within a perfectly reasonable amount of time.

Warning, Huge, Crappy Pictures Abound!

I guess I'll pimp all four rides.  I technically only drive one of them, but my parents and sister don't typically have problems with me driving the other three.

First off, my baby--a 1997 Subaru Outback.  This car replaced the 96 Subaru Legacy I totalled last year, and it's been quite a good car.  Being the total hick wannabe that I am and impatient to get a truck, I typically drive with the backseats down and with an unholy amount of crap in the trunk (which I sometimes use to lug stuff around for my church and neighbors).  It's not exactly beautiful, but it's a good car.

Again, technically not my ride, but I can drive these two when I feel like it.  After I wrecked the '96, my parents used the insurance money to go buy two new cars.  Top is a 2006 Honda Civic, and the bottom is a 2003 Honda CR-V.

The final one is my sister's car, a mid-90's Mazda 626.  It's overall a good car, except for the fact that the lights are kinda hit-and-miss with being on and off--tail lights, headlights, turn signals, et. al.  (what do you expect out of a Ford-owned company )

Again, sorry that the pics suck, but this was all done while writing this post.

Hey Nuclear...that Civic that you said is a 2003 looks more like a 2006...just a wrong angle or a bad interpretation on my part?  The 2003 Civic Coupe never looked that good before

I don't own a car yet...I want to buy a car...I don't commute far enough away to justify owning one yet so I get dropped off (everyone in the family works in the same 5km right now so its a bit strange).  Looking to buy a Mazda3 or a Honda Civic or something like that.  I've test driven almost a dozen cars over the last 6 months in preparation for when I do actually need one...I'm very much confused on what I want now...I was more certain before.  I think I may settle on the Honda Civic for the fuel economy, decent handling, and safety combination. We'll see....maybe something new will be out that will grab my interest by the time I can justify owning one.

Oh yeah?

Oh.

Umm... Those missile are fireworks. Big ones.

D'oh, you're right, it is a 2006.  Correction made.

But yeah, you're right, it is a pretty slick car.  Not bad on the MPG either.

I win.

You still win.  That is a "test" version of the F/A-18.  Notice the needle on the nose?  Fighters only have those when they are in testing phase.

Replace the crankshaft position sensor and those problems should go away.
