I drove.my mom to my sisters for thanksgiving dinner in her car, and on the way I had to go around a circle..I figured. Eleven hundred blistering RPM takes me back to the days of these dearies piloting big-block Electras.
Was some oncoming traffic so instead of.slowing i sped up some to get in front.. while the tires were squeeling, I said to my 74 year old mom how I'd love to be a race car driver..
Her reply? "Well, my car's not a racecar!".
I said, " well, it is today.. "
Need I say she wasn't impressed ? Lol..

Car Talk meets Confessions: I always secretly wanted a Hummer. They're slow, enormous, crude fuel hogs that wallow like ore freighters. They are the antithesis of all my automotive desiderata. And yet still.

ok, ok, since this is confession time and all, i'll admit, i've always kinda dug them as well, especially the convertible varieties..Car Talk meets Confessions: I always secretly wanted a Hummer.

In an old neighborhood of mine there were some male singles sharing a shag pad, and their vehicle of choice was a convertible Scout. Marboro pack with a windshield.
My 1st car was a geo tracker i bought while working at taco bell. I love 2 door tahoes for some reason dont no why but I do. I have owned 7 of them still have 2 one is a project and the other is my everyday mash and bash truck. If I find one nicer then my junker one ill buy it and sell my junkier one.

I don't feel like I'm gonna have the golf done anytime soon.
I was gonna drop the new engine on Thanksgiving, but I ended up just relaxing with some friends.
Now work has really picked up, and I'm working like a slave.
Looks like I wont be able to get it done until late January at the earliest and I'm bummed.

Drop in an r32 engine, new trans, brake lines, and put the whole front end back together.

ill take the vw.. its comfy and drives nice. i got my talon for a little fast 2 door. its a vw thing lol
... im on my 5th right now if i include a passat i bought just for the intention of going through fields lol. they all died.. and my current one is sitting in my drive way and wont start. did so much work on it lol.. i got off this weekend so its back to it. but i dont know what it is about em. i love mk4 vw's. comfy and my gli was a beast. it kept up with some pretty nice cars. the 6 cylinder vw engines are awesome, pretty much unbreakable.. its all the other shit thatll go out on you. electronics will go firstthen since your electronics are fucked.. your cars computer box isnt getting the right power, so all your parts start running wrong and shits going out of synch. everyone complains about working on them. but just like a skyline.. a vw is like a lego kit. you can do whatever you want to one basically

I'm not knocking V dubs quality or anything but I like sports cars. Its a sporty econobox vs a car breaking records on the Nurburgring when it came out. Apples to oranges...

What you didn't see was that one of those cars put down faster lap times and Lamborghinis and Ferraris...

look at the price of a gtr, and look at the price of a vdub.. those skylines have never really been an every person car imvho..
not to mention, i don't think they're very attractive.. ok, they're quick, so is a veryon, which i also happen to think is one of the ugliest cars ever made.. speed is nice, but i want to look nice while going fast, not just going fast..
my $.02 worth..
