the.greg Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Ok so I figured I would post up my past vehicles to show the progression to what I have now.First car, 1994 toyota celica gt. Loved the darn thing but it had so many issues it wasn't even funny. Speedometer worked when it wanted to, lots of undercarriage rust, rear e-brake dragged, and it only got 18 mpg when it was rated at 24ish? I got the newer celica gts wheels for it, put a honda s2000 radio antenna on it, clear side markers(not pictured), painted the front grill inserts, and a cai.1993 Dodge Ram 150 318 v8. Still have this as my backup/bad weather ride. Runs good, but is ugly.1998 Mustang Gt automatic. Had this about 2 years. Was pretty happy with it, but I test drove a 2011 mustang gt and then realized how slow my gt was so I had to get something faster. Sold it to an old couple that offered me more than it was really worth, plus they asked me to put the stock wheels back on it so I was able to sell my fr500s for more profit. Had hids, fr500s, maximum motorsports lowering springs, bilstein hd shocks n struts, 03 cobra front sway bar, xcal 3 with AM tune, chrome headlights/turns, and flowmasters.2001 Ford Ranger 4.0 xlt Pretty solid little truck, the 4.0 gave it some balls too, probably would have been close with my 98 gt acceleration.Flipped it for a profit to purchase my cobra. Only owned about 6 months but it was a solid truck.My current vehicle, 1996 Cobra. Bad paint, but I've fixed it up so that its running solid. Happy with it for now, but likely it will be sold for a corvette down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Solid looking cars dude! Those rangers are pretty ballsy with the 4.0. Nice and light. My buddy has one that blew a headgasket and hasnt really been right since, misfiring like a bitch but still trucking hard. Can't figure out what is wrong with it, valve seals, injectors, no idea =\ Oh btw, if/when you sell your car, I call dips on your export mirrors =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that Ranger was pretty solid and it had just over 200k miles lol, same engine as the s197 v6. Sorry to break it to ya, but Brian already has dibs on the export mirrors.

Ferocious Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 My very first car. (and so far my only one).I bought it in 2011 at the age of 16.Almost 2 years later it looks like this:I still have alot of work ahead of me. I'm probably gonna keep the mustang and find a used R6 to daily to school and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMR Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 My first and only car so far is also my Mustang.A 1994 3.8L V6 Conv.This is what it looked like back when I get it in 2007:It has gone a long way since then, me and this car has pretty much been to hell and back. I have to get a new transmission and engine for it, as well as a whole bunch of other things.It is only lightly modified in terms of performance, since most of my time working on this car and not to mention money has been spend restoring it and fixing it. But my work has payed off since it runs like a new car now. But it is still not remotely fast though, which is the thing that annoys me most about this car.This is the latest picture I have of it, it was taken in the summer of 2012.

Slykin Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 1993 Dodge Cummins... I loved that truck. This picture makes it look really terrible, but it was actually really clean other than the hood/roof.Then I bought a Porsche 944.. had fun with that for a while, then it blew a head gasket. My uncle bought it from me and fixed it. Still drives it today.Aaand before getting what I have now, I had this 1994 Mustang GT Vert.. Perfect cobra clone when I bought it though. Glad to get rid of that car. Finally, my current GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMR Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Yeah, I understand why you got rid of the Fobra. I have always been against Fobras too, in terms of appearence a cobra front bumper is fine on a non-cobra, but other than that; No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slykin Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Well, mostly the reason I got rid of it was because of the paint, and because it was vert. I had gotten rid of the badges pretty quickly. The only problem Fobra wise, was the cobra rear bumper. They car was just a mess otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Can't find any of my actual picutres of my last rides....these will have to suffice:First car was a gem of a truck! Looked identical to this one except we had the plastic molded mirrors on it. So many great memories in that truck, ended up selling it to a guy my dad works with for his son. He still drives it back and forth to maryland for school, had almost 200k on it when we sold it.Second car was a 1998 Buick Park Avenue Ultra...yah....this baby was fully loaded and supercharged =] From heated seats to a car phone, it was decked out and coool as hell. I actually burned through tires in that faster than i do in the mustang. Best daily ever until I drove it through a huge "puddle" (more like a pond) popped the trans and it was never right after that =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
