I just got a "new" car. So, in that spirit, post a pic of whatever you use as transportation.

First two pictures:

Carburetor-ed, 98hp, 1989 Honda Accord goodness. Check out those aftermarket fog lights.

Third picture is my 96 Accord that I managed to total on I-80 somewhere in Nebraska. It was like, 157 degrees and 99% humidity. Poor dog. Hence the reason for my "new" car :B Check out the oil smears on the bumper from the duely tires...

1999 GMC Jimmy named "Roary" named after Dr. Who's Rory...Incidentally, his license plate has numbers and the letters AMY on it. I named him Roary for how loud he is to drive.I didn't discover the plate until after I took off the 30 day tag.

The C27A engine from that '96 might be able to be squeezed into that '89 Accord if you've still got access to the other car.

First car: 1992 Chevrolet Camaro RS 25th Anniversary Edition V6
Second car: 2001 Ford Escort ZX2
Third car: 2006 Chevrolet Malibu LT
Fourth car: 2009 Volkswagen GTI "Frau Blücher" *horse whinnies*
Car has H&R sport springs and an APR Carbonio stage 1 cold air intake system installed. Produces around 215hp at the crank, about the same torque and is equipped with a DSG dual-clutch transmission system with paddle shifters.

I wish I could. Any sort of shipping would be more than it's worth. The tow yard got to keep the car :/ and I live in the West Coast. Sucks too, I just got the title for the '96 in January.

That being said, I can get a Japanese engine fairly easy from some companies in California, though I don't have the means right now. I actually love the body style of the '89 and I'm toying with the idea of replacing engines instead of cars. I'd like to get something with even more power (maybe even upgrade to 14" rims), but I have been told to take it easy on the transmission in there, so , I dunno.

A 2007 red Toyota Corolla. I dubbed it the Little Deuce Coupe, after the Beach Boys song. Though lately, I refer to it as my baby.

2011 Honda CBR 125, AKA "Sidewinder". Unfortunately, I'll have to part with it soon. Alberta really isn't a good place for motorcycles.

Blue 2007 Toyota Matrix. It's a nice little car, easy to drive, I like it, it just has zero power. It struggles going up even the smallest hills.

I've got a '96 Chevy Blazer; the body is still great, engine works fine, and I got an awesome deal on it. Can't go wrong with that. I didn't think I'd ever be an SUV person, but I loved it in the test drive, and now that I've got to climb a soon-to-be snow-covered mountain to get to work every day, the 4WD's looking pretty good all of a sudden.

Before that was a '92 Mazda Protege. For a car almost as old as I was, it was surprisingly quick and seemed to do all right, until the radiator started leaking. It ended up giving out on the interstate, leaving a trail of white smoke behind it and dying at the top of an off-ramp. Goin' out like a G.

I have a bright red Dodge Neon SXT. It has earned the name 'scarface' because there's a nice large dent/scratch in the hood where some truck's bit of bumper flew off and hit it.

I'd post a picture of my parents, but I'm sure they wouldn't want that.

It has incredible gas mileage that others would say is non existent. It is environmentally friendly. It gets me to where I need to go.

A nice bicycle. Except I don't use it because there isn't many bike lanes on where I live. It might have gotten stolen too sometime ago...

What makes your car Roman Catholic?

I drive a maroon 2000 Subaru Liberty (Legacy) RX. Her name is probably Belle. She has a classy exhaust.

My brother has a 1996 Honda Accord too, in the same colour. So that non-alive Accord pic makes me kind of sad.

Makes me really sad. That was a trip to Wisconsin that cost way more money than it should have :( I hope someone will use the parts at least. Had a brand new Pioneer deck with rear iPod input :(

Though, my '89 gets around 28-33 mpg, go figure.

Black 2005 Honda Accord EX.


/is not jealous.

I'm on my third Honda Accord. We'll see how this goes...

I have a Tornado Oldsmobile 1991 or 1992 if i'm correct, buttt we got it before I could drive and rats got into the hood and ate up the wiring, my dad just got around to trying to fix it a few weeks ago.

In the meantime I have been driving my moms ford van (I know no details on it) but it is from the 90s. And it has a giant dent in the front side from my brother running into a mailbox, the steering always pulls to one side or the other, the air conditioning goes in and out on about 5 minute intervals, the heater only works in the back, none of the windows roll down (but the two back windows crack open), and it will occasionally totally shut off if you sit too long at a stop light.

I have a 2002 Camaro SS and a 1970 Camaro. The '70 is in pieces right now because I am putting a different motor in it. Been a long project that gets little attention because I spend almost all my time with my family. That and it's too hot to work in a shop right now.

I don't have a car, sadly. :( I use the public bus. But, my using the bus means that I won't have to spend a lot in gas and car insurance, even though it does mean having to work my schedule around the bus schedule. Guess you win some, you lose some.

My ride consists of two feet, a pair of good walking shoes, and sometimes the courtesy of people around me. Amazing how relieving a pal willing to tote you around can be, thankfully most of my immediate needs are within reasonable walking distance.

Don't have a set of wheels, but one of these days I will. The freedom to roam'll be able nice treat to look forward to. In the meantime, cutting down carbon omissions is pretty cool too. Presently trying to budget for a RAZR or something to cut down walk time.
