Obviously we talk about our bikes all the time, but rarely do we mention our cager side. In addition to loving my ninja, I'm also a car enthusiast. I'm interested to see what everyone takes to work on the "rainy" days (I use this term loosely as I know many still ride their bikes).

Do we have any tuners in the house? American muscle? Point A-B goers? 8" lifters? Hippie vanners? Whatever it is you drive, let's see it! opcorn:

Looks clean! :thumb: but I bet you can't see anything at night?

A buddy of mine has a Talon... but it needs a new motor (along with a few other things) and just sits behind his house... It's a sad sight - I wish he would fix it up!

 

[IdriveDSM08]

nope not at all but it looks cool so ill take it

I had a 2004 Pontiac GTO. It got totaled 27Jan. Now I drive a 2006 Ford F250 diesel, which is why I got the bike, to save on gas. lol

The GTO

The truck

That's a sick GTO dude!

DSM - nice Talon. I always wanted to build one of those, but it will never happen...

I have a 1998 Soob Outback. An excellent A-B, hauling-toys kind of car. I need to repair a few things (it's currently in the shop having a missfire hunted down which is beyond my knowledge, ability, or tool level), and add a hitch for a trailer, and I will be set!

There are a few of these rolling around b-town. They are impressive machines - I'm surprised I don't see more of them.

With it being a college town, I see cars anywhere from riced out civics to GT-R's and ZR1's. Most of the asian students drive expensive BMW's and Audi's... It's not uncommon to see M3's and M6's. Just saw an R8 the other day and a couple months ago there was a Maserati parked at the library... I wish I had the income to afford these types of vehicles...

Just because these kids can AFFORD fast cars, doesn't mean they can DRIVE them. There have been plenty of occasions where all I could do was watch and shake my head as someone rips into a rear fender... A couple people have been hit by cars on campus, but I think that's more due to J-walking than anything. But one student even rammed into a cop car whilst riding a scooter drunk :facepalm:

Thanks fella's. I really miss that car and all the parts I wasforced to leave on it, but oh well. I love my truck and the bike too.

If the goat hadn't been totaled, I wouldn't have bought the truck which in turn also means I wouldn't have bought the bike, so I guess its more of a win win deal lol

I don't have any good pictures of the rear since I tinted the tails... even though that was last summer. lol It isn't fast, but it's not meant to be. I'm a delivery driver so it's my econobox to get A-B :thumb:

I'm in the market to pick up a 2008+ Cobalt SS by summer's end - just have to find the right one.

por que?

 

[metbandit1]

dont know why but the rear end isnt as appealing as the front of that car

 

[spooph]

lol, it's a grocery getter, and automotive styling has gone down hill ever since the 2K.... Even the exotics are getting boring....

Oh yea, and JT, I dig the AWD! It's a ton of fun in the snow! Otherwise it's just a cage...
