MrSaturn posted:This happened to me once! Except rather than some sap taking a picture of his car because it was similar to mine, it was some (admittedly overly assertive) blonde who thought my car would make for a good impromptu scene for a profie pic: I wasn't there, and I didn't know her. To be fair, the cars front glass glasses always rolled down because it is cracked so badly. Still lame though. A common friend saw the pic posted on Facebook and tagged me, that's how I came to find out. E: and I'm staying downtown. What are you up to tomorrow night?

Faerunner posted:The tires are stock size, they're just BFG A/Ts, not the smoothest ride, so I can't imagine them being being too good for fuel economy. wow, stock BFG ATs and you're getting worse than me with 2 cylinders dead and a heavy right foot? Either your roof rack is massive and your lift is insane, or something needs addressing in your engine management system. How long since you replaced the upstream O2 sensor(s)? Do the MAP/IAT/TPS give sane readings if you plug in an OBD2 reader like a scangauge2? Any driveability issues?

Oh no, he drives with a hood on the car. He just happens to have a gold-painted engine bay.

If not for bad luck we'd have no luck at all. My fiance came out of work to this. At least this ~16 year old girl panicked and got out instead of panicked and took off. Front bumper's torn off/smashed up, left turn signal is smashed, etc.

Thanks for the compliments fella's. The stock ride height is pretty silly looking so I'm going to have some Eibach springs installed over the next week or two. Here's a great video that shows off the stock exhaust: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoxh-iGtbRI

about three months after I bought my s2000, I found out my wife was pregnant. A year and a half later I'm driving: going from RWD to FWD took some time adjusting to torque steer, but overall having a backseat, the electronics, and a relatively dignified ride on the interstate make up for it (i commute 74 miles a day)

Former 96 owner here... how are you liking being repeatedly punched in the face by Chrysler? Last year of the old body style and first year of a bunch of other stuff equals hell at the parts store. I did my time on that thing...

The stock exhaust on Neon SRT-4's is like this, sounds fantastic. No mufflers from the factory. Just a cat and a tiny resonator. Too bad everyone 3" straight pipes them and they sound like tractors.

Got rid of my Saab, picked up something that I think will be more fun (and less of a headache). Sorry about the quality, brought my camera but forgot my memory cards, all I had on me was my Blackberry. 1999 Subaru Forester S LTD. 2.5L, 5speed, AWD, LSD in the rear. All I've done is detailed the interior and refinished the summer wheels in Gloss White. My friends all mock me, constantly making jokes about Math and Geology, but I've already fallen in love.

 '69. 318 with 4 barrel carb of some kind and headers, belonged to my late uncle. Put plates on her yesterday. I love this car. Also I lost that godawful hubcap today somehow but I'm fine with it because it looked like poo poo.

Sorry about the shiite image resolution, but I bought it! http://imgur.com/a/RF7Bd Found this pic I emailed myself from my Blackberry. http://imgur.com/D5cbu Original Canadian (I'm Canadian, so it's a bonus) Formula Red '91/Black with 115k km's. All dealer service records and save the aftermarket alarm, completely factory stock. Thread and high resolution pics to follow once the bug guts get cleaned off.

I bought a new (to me) truck! 1999 F-150 4x4 with the 4.6l V8 Thank you previous previous owner for ripping out the carpet and putting down bed liner in the cab, but your half assed cold(warm) air intake mod just has to go.

Finally washed her and took a few pictures of her. Looks tiny compared to the daily driver.        As I said before, '91 Formula red on black with 115k km's on the odo. I've driven her every day since picking her up. Pure bliss.
