What kind of car do you drive in real life?

I don't know if this has been done before or not.

Since we are all car people and like building scale cars, I assume that most of us actually have 1:1 vehicles as well.

So why not see what he all cruise to the LHS in?

Here's mine:

1990 VW Jetta

My enhancement list.

15x6 Riken Turbo's
195/50 15 Toyo Proxes T1-s

Eibach Sportlines.
KW dampners

1998 OBDII 2.0l xflow
2.25 cat back
Cold air intake

Up next chip and a big cam.

1970 MGB GT, nicknamed Layla. Currently off the road and in storage because of a few mechanical glitches and the fact that Ohio still uses road salt.

So right now my daily driver is mom's 1991 Mercury Capri. I appreciate that she lets me use it, but the damn thing'll would've been walked by Layla back when she was stock. Total slouch.
