[Wish I Had a Nice Car]

It was fun, hurt a few peoples feelings (alot of modded 05-09 GT's) but in the end, it was FWD. Ended up getting tired of losing to Bolt on LS1's, didnt like the 4.6 3V, then they came out with the new 5.0 while i was on deployment and well..


Also had this...

and this...

The 5.0 being the 1st RWD car i have owned. And i dunno why i didnt make the switch sooner

[1andonlywhitie]

My first car and only car prior to the Mustang was this:

1980 Ford Escort. 4-banger linked to a 4-speed manual through to a 4.11 diff in the back. Slow as all hell but it was tons of fun.

Then I moved to Dallas and stepped up to this:

05 cadillac cts 3.6l, very fun car and nice too, but being a younger guy I hated all the shit people would say to me about it, even tho I was paying for a good part of it, all the "it must be nice" or "daddy must love you" got to me, so I sold it and bought this-

2010 mustang gt, 5 speed, 3.73 rear axle and security package. No options, got it for just over invoice with 1.9 percent financing over 72 months, and dropped amount down. Learned a lot about car buying, negotiating, and ownership. Within the first 3 weeks of owning it, I got a dent in the windshield, and 2 door dings that needed fixing. 400 dollars and 2 weeks later, 1 more door ding, and now I park as far away from my location as possible, even if there are many open spots closer haha

 

[BLKBULLITT]

Most recent car before the bullitt was a 07 dodge charger

Following by (no real order just most of the cars ive owned)

Blue Chip, wow did I love that color it looked black and purple in certain lights. What interior did you have in it? I had the exact same car!

I see there are some ex BMW guys too, I still own this and hope to turn it into a track car.

'72 Chevelle. My Dad bought it in the early 70's, parked it in the early 80's, and then I resurected it in around '99 or 2000. Its been sitting since around '04-'05. I need to get it plated/insured again and start driving it some:

I traded this in on the Mustang. 2001 F-150 Supercrew King Ranch. Had a leveling kit on the front and add-a-leaf's in the rear to allow me to cram 33x12.50 Pro Comp Xterrain tires on 16x10 wheels. Had true duals w/o mufflers. Beautiful truck...but I like the 'stang better:

My '88 T-bird. This one is my 1st car and I still have it. It has a 5.0 HO w/full exhaust, smog/EGR delete, 3.73's, disk brakes all around, suspension mods, etc:

I've also had:

1.) '88 Grand Prix (POS daily driver) sold it to buy '88 Ranger.
2.) '88 Ranger 2wd reg cab longbed 2.3/5spd. Sold it to buy '97 Ranger.
3.) '97 Ranger 2wd reg cab shortbed 2.3/5spd. Awesome daily driver but when I got tired of not having 4wd anymore and bought the '99 F-150, my wife made me sell it because I had "too many vehicles". pfffftt! I miss that little truck.
4.) '99 F-150 XL supercab 4x4, 5.4. Ex-power company truck...traded it on '10 Silverado

5.) '10 Silverado ext cab Z71, 5.3. Current daily driver.

2001 True Blue GT. 275rwhp of pure 2v bolt-on goodness lol

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

Here is the garage queen.

 

[MyFordsFly]

This is kind of an older pic of it but this was my daily driver prior to my S197. It had a 2.3 turbo with a FMIC and 3" exhaust with a Magnaflow running 17-18 psi. Behind that was an SVO T5 and an 8.8 with 3.73s, tubular uppers and lower, Tokico 5 ways all around with Global West sway bars, and Cobra brakes.

 

[v8venomgt]

2000 gt. a lot of work. was an auto, then a t45, then a tko 600. full bolt on, 150 shot, stock suspension save for some lowering springs the cbr600rr was also mine. i got the car at age 17, paid it off myself over time, my own fuel, and $ went into everything it was, as it started off bone stock. i miss it from time to time, but love the turbo bullitt better

 

[rowdyram]

Traded this in on the Mustang...01 Ram 4x4 with the Cummins and 5 spd. Leveling kit and 35's, Edge computer, AFE intake, I designed the bumpers. Wish I had just bought the car outright and kept the truck too.

Prior to that I had a 99 Ram 2500 4x4 with 360 and 4.10's, talk about bad mpg's!
Prior to that I had a 97 Ram 1500 4x4 with 318 and 3.55's...it was a blast.
In the best order I can remember them prior to the trucks:
95 Grand Cherokee
92 Taurus
92 Escort
89 LeSabre
89 Mustang LX 'vert 4 cyl
89 Caprice
87 Cutlass Ciera
85 Cavalier hatch
83 Olds Omega

Blue Chip, wow did I love that color it looked black and purple in certain lights. What interior did you have in it? I had the exact same car!

Tan interior, great car fun to drive but not much in the way of performance mods and like i said earlier, garnered the wrong attention for me

 

[Swarzkopf]

My old '95 GT:

Sold it 3 years ago. Ran 12.7s @ 109...was fast to me back then. Seems average now.

My '03 Monte Carlo SS:

Been a great daily driver for about 5 years now. It's supercharged with a non-intercooled M90. I hit with a 25 shot to cool the blower at the track to go 13.0 @ 110 (front wheel drive, 2.2 60's).

2000 Buick Regal GS:

Also supercharged with an M90. Had it for a little over 2 years, low miles on it. Wife's daily driver. Hauls lots of groceries. Has gone 13.8 @ 100- pretty good for what it is.

Had other Mustangs in the past too but no online pictures (92 and 98), had a V8 Thunderbird (96), a 351W Bronco, a 91 Firebird, few other GMs too.
