So watch who you accuse of wanting a flame war.

Well when you go making comments about other peoples cars being crap, what exactly do you expect??

or was I incorrect in you saying this:

"Things like GSR Lancers and GSX Famillas in stock form are a joke, and I wont even mention non GTR Skylines

Now why would you go saying something like that??

Nope, not my dad's cars.

The Impala was given to me by my father-in-law. It's nothing really to be proud of. It runs, needs needs some new paint, and some TLC to the engine. The interior has all been redone however. It's supposed to be something like our project or something like that.

The Crustang I bought for $900. It has 98k miles on it, and aside from being a prior smokers car, is in excellent shape.

The Porsche was my dads, but I have recently aquired it. It needs a few things to be 100% operational. Mainly just a carburator rebuild.

sweet!!!!!!!!! so when do i get to drive the porsche, I've already sent one to the shop

Is the Mustang 5.0 5-speed, or not even worth bothering with?

You don't even know what MIVEC is. Or how much hp your heavy and also Auto FTO had!

Go **** yourself, you arrogant piece of misogynistic short-arse shit. :finger4:

Step ONE: engage brain

Step TWO: type your post.

Next time Moppie, please try to get them in the right order, ok?

Why the hell do you assume that Andy doesn't know what MIVEC is, or how much her FTO weighed? Because she's a woman?? Well like I said: **** you. :finger4:

And btw, while you're ragging on autos, you better not mention that your shit-box is FWD. :finger4:

Unfortunately, Moppie has a tendency to belittle everyone's cars except his. Then when he starts putting down other people, as well as their cars, of course I'm going to get pissed off (especially when it's Andy he has a go at ).

Anyway, back on topic for me:

1st car: a 1984 Pulsar SGS 5 dr hatch. It was quite cool really, and went not too bad - for a 1.3 L n/a. Sold because WOFs were getting expensive, because of increasing repairs needed.

2nd car: 1989 R32 Skyline GTS sedan. Bought for no reason other than I needed to buy something to replace the Pulsar. After I bought it, I decided it was really very nice, and it sucked me into cars in general, and particularly Skylines. Sold in order to get the 3rd car.....

3rd car: 1996 R33 Skyline GTS25t coupe. Was looking for ages to find a silver one in manual. Finally found it. Won't go into the whole story, but if you wanted to see, click on the link in my sig, and you should be able to find the sorry story. Now however, all is very very sweet (173 kW at the wheels sweet ), and this car is very definitely a keeper.

Engage your brain before you post boy. The title of fastest skyline in Australia has for a long time been given to an R33 GTS-25T NOT a GTR.

Back on topic, cars I've owned:
1991 Sentra SE, 1.6 5-spd.
Bought for $2500, a month later got rear-ended for $500 (just light scratches), drove 24,000 miles, totaled 16 months later for a $2300 settlement. It was a damn good car, plus I bought it cash and turned a profit. Always started instantly, required minimal maintenance (esp. for age/miles). Made me a Nissan lover forever.

1994 Infiniti G20, 2.0, slush.
Bought in Feb., required a little bit of warranty maintenance at the first, as it sat on the lot for a full year, and that messes the fuel injection systems. Since then has been a great car, I've just finished putting 10,000 miles on it and would definitely buy a G20 again, though I prefer a manny tranny. Still there have been times when I was glad for an auto (like stuck in traffic, no more shin ache!). It's a very good car.

my first car.....A Mini !

Yep...at 18 Iwas 6'6" and about 270lb....and Dad decided that it was time for me to have a car.He bought a blood red Mini Countryman(woody) at the auction....it was the ultimate P.O.S.The first thing to fall off was the drivers' door....rust around the hinge mounts.The door dropped alarmingly on the third day,and I had to slam it to get it closed.It stayed shut for the rest of the car's short and brutal existence,I got in/out through the passenger side.One of the side effects of slamming the door was that the floor pan under the pedals fell out...rust again.We cut up the top shelf of Dad's dexion shelving and pop riveted into place.

Among my friends,my social standing rocketed,especially on Thursdays.It was no coincidence that the 'Dukes of Hazard' played that night.The ac fuel pump was the next major item to die,it had a habit of seizing up,leaving us to coast to halt,jump out,tap it with a hammer,and take off again.One too many taps shattered the mount casting,no problem,we poked another hole in the floorpan and the fuel pump spent the rest of its days wedged beside the drivers door.....

we beat the snot out of that car in three months.I scrapped it in favour of an Austin 1300GT.Some people never learn.:o

[primera man]

1953 Prefect..painted with a 4" paint brush by the lads on the piss one day!!...blow up and dumped

1967 Mlk2 Cortina fitted with a V6....My first real car that i loved to bits..Sold after ground up rebuild taking 3 years

1973 Holden fitted with fully worked chev V8 that i turned into a drag car. This would have to be my favorite car. Had a ball with it.....but due to the lack of drag strips and being unable to use it on the street it was sold......very sad day in the PMan house....sold and motor used in a sprint boat...dont know what happened to the car

1980 Avenger...used as a second car when i had my V8..sold for parts

1986 Honda prelude....i wont even talk about this car....real let down....sold after 6 months

1992 Double cab Toyota...brought to carry my two dogs around...sold at 190,000km's...never had a thing go wrong with it.

1993 Toyota Corolla.....first real family car 1300cc...what a gutless piece of crap ...lol...sold after 12 months

1994 Toyota (Cris Amon Spec)...this thing went like a cut cat...sold after 9 months

1997 Nissan Primera...Brought NZ new ....one of the first to be imported into NZ. Brought standard but spent plenty on it with rims/kits etc. At this stage i dont think i would ever sell it as i'm really pleased with it.

1980 Sigma...brought as a second car to run around town etc so the Primera didn't have to be used. Sold to buy the Serena

1996 Nissan Serena 8 seater...brought for the wife and is the "people mover"

[kagogi]

Well, my list is long and distinguished, but I will give it a shot...

1964 Plymouth Belvedere
First car and first love I guess, had the push button automatic, beautiful car with loads of personality. The car was 5 years older than me when we met when I was 16.

1970 Chevy Nova
Don't get your hopes up, it was a 230 in line 6 with the 2 speed powerglide tranny...winter beater

1988 Chevy S-10 Tahoe

1978 Dodge Ramcharger

1993 Ford F-150

Then came my enlistment in the Air Force, so in England I had a bunch of cars...

Austin Montego
Zastava Yugo 311
BMW 316 (again, a beater)
Two Vauxhall Cavaliers
Fiat Uno
Austin Metro
Ford Granada
Austin Mini

Back to the states and to Texas...

1997 Ford Mustang GT (in storage now)
1973 Chevy Impala

And now in Japan...

1991 Toyota MR2 G Limited
1992 Toyota Supra 2.5 Twin Turbo R
1993 Nissan Skyline GTS25t Type M

Whew...

The Crustang is unfortunatly a LX, not the GT. If it were a GT it would be more tolerable. But yes, it is still a 5 speed.

As for when you get to drive any of my cars? Never.

I actually prefer the LX 5.0, rather than the GT with all the crappy cladding...
