A 2000 Mitsu Eclipse GT-V6 5-speed that is about to be retired. Actually, not a bad car - it's never given me a single problem in the 7 years I've owned it. Never had to add a single drop of oil between 10000 mile oil changes. Runs like a champ, and the V-6 sounds great - much like an old Alfa V-6, in fact.

Do miss not having a German sports sedan/coupe though, so am looking at picking up one of the following on ebay in the next year:

- Mercedes SL500 (still great cars with a nice set of wheels on em)
- Mercedes E55 AMG
- Mercedes C32 AMG
- Audi S4 V8
- Audi RS6
- Audi S8
- BMW M5
- BMW 540i manual
- BMW M3
- Porsche 911/993/996

Nice. Have you seen the new Challengers? I thought they looked pretty cool.

Muscle Cars are fun if you have the spare time to take them to the drag strip
they can't handle worth a dam but they go like hell down a stright a way .

I just bought a silver 2006 dodge charger, (and no it does not have a HEMI), but does have the high output 3.5L that makes 250hp. Probably the smoothest, quietest car I have ever owned. I like it :D

I loved the original Charger design but I'm not too huge on the new ones. I was referring to the new Challenger that is coming. The current design looks like this...

...and I just saw a 2009 design floating around that looks like this...

Now that looks like a winner.

Ah yes. The good old Aussie Holden Monaro with the steering wheel on the wrong side - sorry - left side. Export car now as GM here have stopped making them for our local market. Last Aussie LS1 (I think) Monaro was sold on eBay and went for something like A$118K.

You guys! Don't you know minivans are cool now? ;) I got tired of the low of fuel milage of a truck so I went with a Dodge Grand Caravan. There's room for a m/c and for me to sleep right beside it on a road trip. I know, some of you probably never need or want to haul a bike but I do along with my dog and other toys! :D MH

We have a 2002 Honda Odyssey that my wife drives. While I drive a 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 Quad Cab 4x4 3500 CTD Laramie.

Second picture shows why. That's the business setup. Trailer comes with Handy Industries' Air Lift imbedded in trailer floor plus its a fully self contained sleeper/toy hauler. Great for vending at rallies or for track days.

Amullo,

Nice Car. But did you convert the MPG correctly? Thats amazingly good for a car that size/performance, the VW golf TDI will just bearly do that with a 90 hp turbo diesel.

5,3l/100km´s highway = 44mpg

6,0l/100km´s city = 39 mpg

I was looking at Imperial MPG, not US MPG. My bad :eek:
Still pretty good :)
