mines blue but..im not picky about a nice car. I just want something that gets me where i need to go and has good gas mileage. My monthly bill...30 bucks..it went 2 weeks without filling and that was when i had to take a 15-20 minute drive to school every day, now its only 5-10. cant really remember the last time i filled up.
and my parents got it for me :D (used).

The bonneville is mine and the caddy is my moms. Pimping the caddy every so often is a good feeling. And yes those are the actually colors, I put effort into this ladies and gents.

Oh yeah.. My hard drive crashed (F YOU SEAGATE!!!) so I am missing so many pics.
My tint has a scratch in one of my windows. It\'s in the back though so it only annoys Logan.
-
Vid, I thought you had an S2000?
-
nope, too loud and too small.
my car is small enough as it is.. oye.
-
Cored has the S2k. Unless he makes an appearance Vid is teh winnar

bah.. i stil win. S2000\'s blow monkey nuts. My car is just as quick, but I\'d much rather be in my car going 100+ than an S2000. Shit I\'ve gone 110 in it and it\'s like you are going freaking 60. Low noise and so smooth you can drive with your knee eating a sandwhich.
-
Something can be said for feeling the speed though.
-
Yeah speed is good on occassion, but you get to the point where a nice comfortable ride is better.

2005 scionXa
lowered, tinted, remote start, rims and the biggest importance to me 38mpg...meh

Does it go... "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww"

THe S2000 is barely faster and it\'s a freaking 2 seater that is loud as shit over 80 miles an hour. Believe me. I\'ve gone 120 in one and you couldn\'t hear yourself think. It\'s also not nearly as comfortable a ride at high speeds either.
And Logan would have to sit in the trunk and I don\'t think the Department of Children and Families would appreciate that.

I agreed with you on ride qulaity. You can\'t beat BMW for the same price if you want all out luxury + driving experience. The s2k just offers the latter, for $10g\'s more. That\'s why it\'s more fun to drive, faster in a straight line, and faster around a track. And it\'s loud because it\'s supposed to be; it\'s a roadster.
-
I think I have you all beat.
1986 Chevy Nova.
That\'s right, best car ever made.
-
Ok shockwave i have to admit they dont make them like they used to. My mother had 1964 Ford galaxy 500 4 dr.She was a tank but i gotta tell you, you could not kill that car, no matter what you threw at it. I think my moms only complaint was you could not keep a exhaust on it, dual exhaust and the motor kept blowing them right off the car.

Yeah. Doesn\'t even have a real stereo. Blah...

WTF is all this? Someone actually posted a thread I would have to reply to. Hmmm. :)
Vid, you\'re comparing a family sedan to a sports car, and you decided the family sedan is better? Surprise surprise. Of course I would expect that considering you have a family and I do not.
The S2000 is loud at high speed because it\'s a convertible, and all you have between your head and the outside airflow is a layer of vinyl top. Noise reduction is not a high priority because it adds weight. Naturally it\'s not as comfortable as a BMW sedan. It\'s a freaking sports car. Next time I need an apples to oranges comparison, I\'ll be sure to PM you. :laughing:
BTW I have installed a new exhaust since this picture was taken.
(see the next post)

I completely agree. I never meant to do a comparison of the two. I may as well compare my car to an Excursion.
I just don\'t like the feel of the small sports car at high speeds compared to my car. My car just feels safer. No biggie.
I\'d still blow a load all over your car if someone gave me one.
:op:
It\'s perty.....
Oh, and welcome back!!!
-
My car isn\'t too bad at high speeds. I have crappy tires so they vibrate past 90 but whatever. It just coasts past 100 and just flies without a problem. My T-bird is the best handling car I\'ve ever driven.
-
Luke- I didn\'t know you were black.
Cored - I didn\'t know you were a girl.
;)

I\'ll meet you at a road course of your choosing, and we\'ll see who the girl is.
Suspiciously missing from this thread is a picture of Chizzy\'s ride:
-
I drive a Mitsubishi FTO (look at my avvy)
My dad drives a Chrysler 300C Hemi with 22\'s. Totally phat.
-
I always pictured Chizzy driving a VW Bus.
-
pimp my ride?
Have you ever seen that show with Exhibit... or is it Snoop Dog? Oh crap, maybe its both. Anyway I\'ve seen some pretty sweet cars.
-
its Xzibit..not snoop dog
please dont smart off to me now
anyways, my parents got me a 2003 kia spectra...i\'ve yet to get the factory spoiler on it but once i do i will like it better
i dont feel like lookin for a picture
-
I have seen that show, but they really dont do much to the vehicles besides slapping a coat of paint onit and a loud radio. I like to watch overhaulin on TLC. If you have never seen it is on tuesday\'s at 9pm awesome show.

Af riend of mine is selling her car and im thinking of buying it.
It\'s a 1999 bmw not sure of the model , but she kept it impeccable, her husband just put $5,000 into it. It\'s a 4 door sea foam green fully loaded.
They want $ 8,300 what do you think

I don\'t know if they still make new episodes, but Pimp My Ride did finally start replacing motors and stuff, too.
