NeufUnSix

1991 Infiniti Q45. I bought it a year ago - I've had bikes since I was 17, but never owned my own car until that marvellous fuel sucking beast. Two tons of German-beating Japanese luxo-barge goodness with a stonking motor that makes a Lexus LS look like a Civic - and it goes around corners too. LSD, Tokico suspension, all the trimmings, and everything works except the A/C.

When I say fuel sucking, I mean it. My record low is 7.5mpg city. Mind you, traffic moves slowly in Montreal...

1985 Chevy Monte Carlo that was light green with matching interior.  For an idea of the green look at any of the Flounders stars, they are a dead match at the lightest hue.

90 Jetta GLI.

just about every penny I made in HS went into this car. Cams, Manifold, Headder, exhaust, suspension, ect.

Still have it, it's a little beat up now.. but, still fun, and the best handling car I've ever driven, and it was pretty fast on the highway up to 140, where I ran out of gears..  [evil]

well now, that has nothing to do with a car aside from the name. why would i think of the outline of a dude's schlong when we are talking about cars?

ohh yeah. what was i thinking.

then again, since i don't feel the need to overcompensate i'll let all you guys with big powerful sportscars and massive trucks deal with that. i'll stick to my mid sized bike to haul around my tiny wiener.

My first was a 1982 Dodge Diplomat that had been hit in the front quarter panel with a snowplow. It looked MEAN and would stall on a dime. Total POS and dangerous to boot. Perfect for a 17 year old.

My second car was an 88 Subaru Justy (the last car with a carb sold in America). the thirteen inch tires were intimidating.

Equipped with a 3-cylinder that didn't have a red line.

A girlfriend of mine in college had one. Owner's manual said not to exceed 70 in 3rd gear. What the hell did they know anyway?

probably should have said not to exceed 70 unless you're at a salt flats. That car was practically a 4 wheeled motorcycle for all the protection it afforded. the 3 cyl motor got amazing gas mileage when gas was only .98 a gallon.
