I hustle and bustle around in a black 2004 Cadillac Escalade.

I'll stick with my Infinity G35x 2005, I got it new last year as my first car out of college and with a real job. I love it, AWD + Turbo = fun.

[jankerson]

I will stick with my truck.

 

[Martin_89]

AWD

naa you want front wheel drive to turn heads pulling away from the lights lol

EXAMPLE lol

 

[Viper222]

I drive a 1995 Nissan Altima GXE. It's my first car, from my dad. I have since replaced the stock audio system to an Alpine head unit (w/mp3), Alpine amp, Boston Acoustics sub and speakers. Also added: spoiler/tint/alarm/fog lights/alloys. No engine mods.

 

[Intel_Peep]

boring, I know...

I drive a 2002 Ford Taurus, about the most ordinary car you can own...

My wife has a 2002 Ford Explorer V8 that we like much better, though it doesn't quite have the mileage...

I have been bit by "Mustang Fever" lately, so will probably get a Mustang GT (300BHP), if I can convice my wife that it is a practical buy. I just drove a friends 2003 Mustang Cobra (390BHP supercharged 4.6L V8), man is that a monster!!! I think my internal organs are still picking themselves up off the back of my ribcage...

Jeez man, that looks pretty damn nice. How's it to drive?

Watch that rear end.

 

[K62]

Hey guys, long time... no see!

I just bought a new (to me) 2001 Toyota Corolla CE. (5spd, 1.8L DOHC w/ vvt-i)

I'll take some pictures later today and post them.

Has been along time.

Welcome back.

Watch that rear end.

It's pretty quick! The only handling issue is the tramlining that the 18" wheels cause, but otherwise I like it a lot. The rear end gets seriously slippery in the wet/when it's icy, certainly can't throw it around as much as you can a Golf!

 

[dannyboy27]

Nice wheels Nick. And the correct colour too

 

[dannyboy27]

Welcome back, K62

Also reminds me, haven't seen Andy around here for ages (agw_01).

 

[K62]

Thanks, Danny!

I haven't heard from Andy in a while now either.


Well here are the pictures that I just took of the car. They're not very good because we are getting hammered pretty good right now by snow...

And this one was from a few weeks ago..

Don't you love those rims ? I am just going to use them as winter beaters, and will buy new rims in the spring.

 

[dannyboy27]

Very nice, I don't think we have those over here. Although there is a similar looking model called the Avensis.

edit: just realised you said it was a Corolla - we have Corollas in Europe but they look different to yours, think they're smaller.


I wish it would snow here, I love driving in the snow
