(lots of room in that baby for fun Diva)
Yeah...tell me about it..I got a mini van too, and a ford truck F150.

I prefer the truck..much faster and easier to do "Rockfords" :D :D


But my dream car would be a '67 Ford Mustang...Yeah Babyyyyy!!!

[Lovediva]

Forgot the pic...grrrrr :D :D

[Boru]

I drive a Kia Rio, the 2002 model

it replaces the Kia Rio 2001 model that I rolled into a ditch 3 weeks ago, unintentionally but destructively to be sure.

BORU

[pje]

LoveDiva4u,

Good choice of a car.Mustangs are my favorite.I guess that explains why i have my cobra,and just like its driver,its motor is always running and it loves to handle curves.

[david owiye]

I take the bus home.

[Irish]

Boru---I am asking you because you said that you had a Kia.
For 2002;do you know if they added a bigger engine?When I
bought my; Jeep Grand Cherokee;I wanted to buy a Kia.I looked
on the web and Kia only had a small 4cyl. for all models.I had an
old('84)Bronco11 that I would have jury-rigged to run forever.
My wife; usualy drives my Pontiac to work;(dependability)and she&one of my daughters;were bugging me to get something
newer and more dependable.I wanted something smaller and of
the same body style and while looking at ANOTHER vehicle at a
dealers;I spotted the Jeep.It had many options and an unbelievable price($12,900)I drove it;discussed it with my wife
and if they didn't raise the price;I thought;I would buy it before
they smartened up.The next day,I bought it.It was formerly a
leased vehicle;so everything was like new! Thanks,Irish
P.S.In my life,I have gotten out of more bad spots with power;
then with brakes.I have had a race-engined Firebird and many
high powered cars that I built but it's time to smarten up.As my
father said:"You can't beat a radio wave!"

[Lovediva]

I agree Pje...they handle the road so gracefully...not to mention the vibration of the engine felt in the drivers seat!!! :D :D :D

Now there is a toy I can handle driving everyday!!! ;) :D


(((Hmmm...maybee that's why Irish likes his bikes!!! :D :D )))

[m45]

The Daily driver is a 1958 Chevy 4 door wagon, the Brookwood.
Has a 1984 Covette LT-1 under the hood, 325 plus horse power.

We also have a 1959 Chevy Apache 9 Passenger Panel.

Here is the LT-1

He's not the only one!!! :D

This is what my baby looks like

[luv2please]

Nice Mustang Diva and love that motor M45. BTW, Diva let me know a few days before you visit so I can take the tranny out.;) PS Can someone PM me and explain how to attach a pic? Thanks

[Irish]

Sharni---Which engine does your Kawi have?My buddy had one
and stopped by my house one day after putting a new Parelli(sp)
back tire on.When he left the tire spun through high gear by just
accelerating! Irish

[Irish]

Sharni---Sorry!I just read the thread again and noticed that it said
750. Irish

[sugarfreecandy]

Hmmm...

I guess I'm the token starving student. I can't afford a vehicle, so (like David Owiye) I'm pretty much resigned to public transit for the foreseeable future. Therefore, I'd have to describe my dream car this way:

A vehicle, preferably with circular wheels (square ones are such a pain), and which ideally would be propelled in something other than Fred Flintstone style (blisters on the feet not being my idea of sexy). Pedals are okay, a motor is better, and one which doesn't require hand-cranking to start is better still... If the whole contraption moves even slightly more quickly than I do on foot, I'm happy!

:rolleyes:

:D

--- sweetstuff

[Boru]

Nope, no new engine for the Kia Rio,

all they added was a new radio and a lumbar support in the driver's seat. That and a few hundred dollars to the price.

BORU

[legend]

I have to say, I'm in the same boat (or is that bus) as SFC

[Sharni]

Thats fine Irish.....as for spinning the wheel...it can do that.....most of my bikes power is mid to top range...

The fastest we've had it is 200km/h (Bilbo riding..me pillion)....it still had plenty of go left too....but believe me that was quite quick enough:D

Motorcycling is in my blood....i'll never get rid of my baby...ever!:D

'98 Chevy Lumina (sedan) for me... Husband drives a '94 Dodge Spirit back and forth to work. :)

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Irish]

Boru---Thanks.By the way;I love the Cherokee and never would
have looked at one,I just couldn't pass up the price on that one!
Diva---You want vibrations?When I lived in Conn.;I built a car that
was;strictly;for the Drag Strip.It was a Willys frame,Henry J body,
and a built-up Ford "426"Tunnelport eng.It had an Art Carr hydro-
stick(the first racing autos')You used the clutch;off the line;and then shifted without it.It had an;approx.25%eng. setback for wt.
transfer.It had many other mods.One time;I was going through
the 1/4mi.;and going through 2cd;I felt a vibration.It felt like a high-speed wobble on a bike.I skipped 3rd gear and just accelerated through 4th.I coasted through the end of the strip &
down part of the return road.While I was waiting for my tow
vehicle;I got out to servey what had happened.The welds on my
traction bars had broken!The only thing holding the rear end in was the shocks and driveshaft.I had turned 140mph. flat.That's
vibration! Irish
P.S.I never checked the H.P.;but the Holmon&Moody race team&
Eng. builders had an eng. like mine that put out 750hp. on a
dynomometer.They had one 4bbl.carb less&a one step milder camshaft
than me.I don't know about cars but if you hit the brakes;in a high
speed wobble on a bike;you go down.You just grit your teeth &
accelerate through it.

[Ophelia]

with her picture of the '67 Mustang Fast Back. Oh gosh...the rev of that engine gets me all fired up...

I can be seen tooling around town in my "Barbie Jeep"...the 95 GEO Tracker...it's teal! :redghost:

Saddaddy---I know how you feel!I miss my 68 Firebird H.O.(high
output)also.My best friends father&Granfather; in my hometown
in Conn.; owned the Pontiac Dealership.I practically grew up in that garage.(hence;my love for Pontiacs.)After High School;he was
a salesman there and gave me many things for cost.He was the
salesman on my Firebird and I ordered everything by part #.
Eng. block,heads,camshaft,valves,pistons,gear ratio,transmisson,
tires,wheels,etc.I paid about 1/5 the price of the 99GrandAm Ram-
Air that I bought new;here;and it was twice the car.No plastic.
Alas;nothing lasts forever!My buddy drank himself to death so I
guess that I won't get any cars from him! Irish
P.S.I have another car and a motorcycle that's not exactly stock!

"Timing is everything"

If I had answered this thread 3 weeks ago, my reality vehicle would have been the trolley, complimented with my Specialized Crossroads mountain bike. I used to have the "Lesbianmobile", an Isuzu Amigo, that I sold when my roomie moved in. We drove her jeep everywhere for about 2 years. Now that she is in Baton Rouge so much, I just bought a used Toyota 4Runner, '96, with 4 cyl and a manual transmission. it is fun, but it is big for me. I still ride the trolley and my bike most places.

OK, my dream vehicle!
ANY motorcycle that can be safely operated by a 4'11" 101# woman. I can't touch the ground on any I have tried. I am just a passenger now, but I love riding motorcycles!

Wickedly

[Irish]

WW---Build yourself a"chopper"motorcycle!I am 5'10".My last 2
bikes;I built with a"Hardtail"rear.That is no rear shock absorbers
and a special tail section;that goes right down to the axle.They
were both Triumphs and they say that is rough on your back.I had
the 5th disc up removed in 1970.The ride didn't bother it.I spoked
a Harley rear rim and tire to the Triumph hub for traction(Built-up
engine)and that makes for a soft enough ride.My knees were almost in front of my body.I also had an 8" extension on my front
tubes.You wouldn't believe how low you sit. Irish

[BamaKyttn]

My own personal car is a '94 Honda Civic with a stick shift oooh I love the power, that baby can fly... but what I would rather have is an Acura which as far as I can tell is a racier version of honda and I'm a bit of a speed demon.... my g/f and I share her Ford Winstar when we go outta town, it's the lesbian lugger.... one of my ex-es had a 2000 Trans Am that he raced 3 times a week and I could have an orgasm just sitting in the front seat.... mmm those were the days.... dumbass got rear-ended by an eighteen wheeler and totaled it.

Aways Kyttn

[Irish]

WW---Advice from one who has worked and ridden many!DON'T
buy a used "chopper!"They might just be built to look good and
usually have the "shit"ridden out of them.You;usually;are just
buying someone elses headache.Only buy if you have someone
very knowledgeable about motorcycles. Irish
P.S.Someone built them for a reason and it;probably;wasn't to
baby it!

[Suzy Wong]

I drive the Wongmobile....aka 1998 neon sport :P

[Wicked Wanda]

Irish, dear.
Could you repeat that first bit of advice to me in English?
KISS!

WW

[Irish]

WW---If you seriously need advice on a bike;just contact me at:
[email protected] I am no expert;but;I have been riding,
racing,&building custom motorcycles for over 42yrs.I started riding
when I was 15 & am 58 today.(27th)I have been to the Triumph
factory school and got an A in mechanics.I took an extra week and
went to a class on advanced motorcycle mechanics.I got an A+ in
that.I think that qualifies me to know a little bit about them.If you
need any help just contact me.I don't have the contacts&connect-
ions that I used to have.When I straightened out;I dropped them

Ressurecting this thread for this, could have gone on the Jokes thread...

Most people assume WWJD is for "What would Jesus do?" But the initials really stand for "What would Jesus drive?"
One theory is that Jesus would tool around in an old Plymouth because "the Bible says God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden in a Fury."
But, in Psalm 83, the Almighty clearly owns a Pontiac and a Geo. The passage urges the Lord to "pursue your enemies with your Tempest and terrify them with your Storm."
Perhaps God favors Dodge pickup trucks, because Moses' followers are warned not to go up a mountain "until the Ram's horn sounds a long blast."
Some scholars insist that Jesus drove a Honda but didn't like to talk about it. As proof, they cite a verse in St. John's gospel where Christ tells the crowd, "For I did not speak of my own Accord..."
Meanwhile, Moses rode an old British motorcycle, as evidenced by a Bible passage declaring that "the roar of Moses' Triumph is heard in the hills."
Joshua drove a Triumph sports car with a hole in its muffler: "Joshua's Triumph was heard throughout the land."
And, following the Master's lead, the Apostles car-pooled in a Honda ....."The Apostles were in one Accord."

[Eros]

Scotz- That was frigging hilarious!!!!

Actual ride- Beat-up, rebuilt, rusted-out, '90 S-10

Dream ride- 86 Cutlass Supreme, 307, 350Turbo, silver with black racing stripes...a buddy actualy had this car in HS and I'd like to shoot him for selling it!..LOL

[Kissy]

99 Dodge neon
88 GMC Jimmy
93 Chevy Cavalier


But we're still young! My husband allways has either the Jimmy or the Cavalier tore apart doing something new to them. As long as the neon stays running fine to get to the hospital when i'm in labor I don't mind! Boy couldn't you see me riding to the hospital in a half tore apart car...the hospital that we have to go to is 45 miles away! Military!:mad: :p

[vampeyes]

I drive the typical mom van a 99 Windstar but one day I'll have my dream car(s)
I REALLY want a 69 Camaro SS
but will 'settle' for a '68 also I would go for a '68 or '69 Firebird

[Irish]

Vampeyes---I bought a '68 Firebird new.My best friend;in Conn.,
has a Father&Grandfather that own the Pontiac garage in my
hometown.He was a salesman there;after High School.I special
ordered it by part#;from the mechanics book.It was a "H.O."That was the designation for a high output eng.I got a great price on it
and a loaner car until it came in.That was the important thing;
because my wife was pregnant at the time.It's a good thing that I
had it because;I took my wife;to the hospital;in the loan car at 11
PM. Irish

[vampeyes]

LOL yeah I can't imagine wife would have been to happy lol ready to burst and no car..... Do you still have it (the car that is lol)? I have found in SD a shell (I don't know if thats the correct term but thats what some of my guy and car friendly women friends have called it- it's the body and frame no interior to speak of and no engine) of a '68 Firebird some farmer is just letting it sit around in his treeline ...(what a waste) he says he'll part with it for a couple hundred which is great only I gotta find someone to restore it for me lol (one that actually knows what the hell they are doing).

[Irish]

vampeyes---I sold it.I had about 150,000mi. showing and everytime that we took the trip back&forth between Conn.&N.H.,
I disconnected the speedometer and just used the tachometer!
I;also;had a Black '57 Chevy.I traded that and $200 for a '58 Pontiac;that my buddy owned.He was from Louisiana.The car never saw salt.I now kick my ass.Do you know what that would be worth today?Plus;I had put all new chrome trim(replaced)on it.
It didn't need it.I just wanted it to be "Cherry" Irish
P.S.In those days;you didn't know any better.Now I kick my ass!
I ordered that Firebird with everything that I wanted in it.I immediately put Chevy"High-ball"lifters in it.That added about
700RPM to the max.

[vampeyes]

WOW!!! I think that I would be in BIG trouble with all that power (giggling) I am bad enough for racing in the mini-van lol. Yes I have been looking at them ever since I can remember so I can sorts imagine how much it would be worth. I am not a motorhead by far but I know a little about a little (lol in some cases very little)
