I'm boring when it comes to 4 wheels. I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am GT, which I suppose is technically now the kid's car. The other vehicle is the Family Urban Assault Vehicle:

This is the real thang boy and girls....

I AM impressed. Five pages on this thread so far and nothing but pussy cars and blah blah blown and jacked up Detroit crap until now. NOW we're getting somewhere with a real circle track racer.

I truly bow to you Kaos ! ( And I'd love to see Rossi in the world of outlaws !)
YOU DA MAN !

Had it for a bit over a year now, and its the best 4-wheeled thing I ever owned, and my 3rd Land Rover, but unfortunately am having some recent problems with suspension:

LOL.. The standard OC transportation...J/K migz, giving you a hard time...I may be moving behind the Orange Curtain soon. Have to trade the Tahoe in on a Land Rover or Beemer or they wont let me in!

sold my 66' ford bronco with a built up 302 engine to get my duck.

My daily ride is a 97 f250 w/ a utility bed. now if someone could tell me how to get my tools from job to job on a bike, let me know!

Wifes ride is a 99' mitsubishi montero sport 4x4.
the other car is a 89 toyota landcruiser with 45,000 orig miles!!

next ride (if everything works out right) is a 59 Austin Healey bug eye sprite. Planning on putting a hayabusa or an r1 engine in it. FUN!!!

Sorry to disappoint bevel, but another Detroit crap truck ;) 2001 Ford F-150 Lariat Supercrew 4x4, stock other than a K&N air filter and Line-X bed liner. Get's a whooping 12 mpg typically, just as long as I'm not pulling my trailer. It's nice not to have to worry about having a vehicle that can't tow a trailer or haul a bike in the back for track days.

What I want to get once I convince the wife that all bikes and a new car fit in the garage with her POS Mazda is a Mini Cooper S. Drove one a few months back and absolutely need one now.

Yes they have all lost their minds here in OC...

Always funny! Thats the mentality of most in SoCal.

Being a single guy and living at the beach is worth it. To quote Tom Cruise in Top Gun. "Its a target rich enviroment."

I have a 2004 BMW 330ci. Before that, I had a 2001 Audi S4. Would have kept the S4 but had to lemon it due to engine problems.

I'm thinking of selling the beemer and picking up an S2K with coilovers and titanium exhaust. Should be a lot of fun in the twisties.

How's that Mazda? Always heard great things about the RX8
It's a blast to drive. For me, choosing the Mazda is consistent with why I'm passionate about Ducati. It's not the fastest in a quarter mile, but it's awesome in the twisties. I think being in Car and Drivers top 10 for the last 3 years running against competitors like the Z, G35, and S2000. I've ridden in all but the S2000, and while the Nissans have a lot of torque, they feel nothing like how my car feels when I'm railing through twisties. In fact, I test drove and put money down on a 350Z but had to wait for the color I wanted to come in (pearl white). A quick drive to a Mazda dealer just to see how the 8 measured up against it immediately gave me a change of heart.

Lighter clutch, awesome gearbox, nicer interior, 18 inch wheels stock, handling like a go-kart yet less bumpy than the Z, good brakes, and more importantly, 2 more seats. You have to know how to drive it though, as you can't mash the pedal and just go like the Z.

You can see it peaking from behind my new track toy: (can you tell I like red?)

Migz, that's some funny shiet. That lady is just south from me as I'm in San Juan Capistrano. On a separate note, that's a Sport edition, right? I was actually thinking about getting that for my wife, but I'm thinking of getting something that can tow and not just look purty.

My other toy is a 1976 Holden (GMH) Torana. One of our old Aussie muscle cars. About 6 litres, thirsty, manual 4 speed, and loud everything


And a Nissan Narvara 4X4 - red of course.

but wait, this is my dreamcar that i'm trying to acquire. *smirk*

hopefully someday... lotus exige
That's not a regular exige in that picture. :cool:

The exige is an excellent choice none-the-less. Just make sure you're comfortable backing up and making lane changes using only your side mirrors. :D
