I wish I hadn't sold you to a sketchy black man
My old man had one of those
Stupid thing with shit electrics and horrid petrol consumption
I give it points for comfort
>>14035003
That poor V6 got 14mpg, had a rear main seal leak, weak fuel pump, smelly A/C and forgot to shift to 4th half the time. Was a lifesaver when I had nowhere to sleep, put the seats down and crashed in the trunk.
this shitbox took my soul
last time I drove it before flying out of the country it had more than 170k km, can't wait to see it again
>>14035003
What's with black people and SUVs. Is it a "muh rap video car" or what?
>>14035003
I actually don't mind the look of those.
Considered getting one until I found out the drivetrain is fwd based.
I honestly want to keep it for life if I can
currently sitting at 310 thousand kms
>>14035061
All crossovers are fwd or fwd biased awd. Get over it.
Not going to pretend I cared about it. Perfectly functional, no technical problems, leather seats were nice, just nothing to enjoy about it.
Then I got a Cobalt Coupe instead of a RWD shitbox with personality like I should have done.
87 Maxima SE 5 speed manual. I sold it to a black undercover used car salesman when I was 15. Worst decision of my life.
'95 SR5 4x4 4Runner
Slow as fuck but it was a tank. Had it until I was 17 when an impatient Russian cunt merged in front of an 18 wheeler from behind me and he knocked her into me then hit me. Got pushed over 100 feet and managed to walk away with a few fractures and 6 months 5 days a week of chiropractor visits.
>>14035092
Yeah I know. I thought it was an suv for some reason.
I don't need a vehicle that bloated to mall crawl and use on snowy driveways. I want something that will at least handle rough roads on a regular basis without eating drivetrain components.
07 VW GTi, was T boned on the way to work by a heroin addict.
Loved hr to death, had a lot of work done on he while keeping appearance stock :/

I'll miss you, I'd probably still have you if I didn't have to move country.
>>14035180
So. ...fwd?

they're big and "manly" and his babymomma can haul around all their wee little hoodrats shopping.
paid $1500 for this 1999 in 2007. a garage door collapsed on it, it included all of the parts to fix it (hood and front fenders) but the owner was too lazy to actually install them. then I spent $1200 on wheels, tires, headlights, and an intake and got $7500 for it on trade-in lol.

I got her running 15.4s, pretty good for that fucker. Traded up to an STi and never looked back.

She was a fun little car. A bit twitchy in the corners thanks to a very loose back-end, but god damn did she like to play.
She had a lot of dead spots in the power band due to an intake limiter block or whatever they're called, but when I took this out the engine had a nice power band all the way to the limiter.
Completely stock 5 speed 94 integra with under 50k miles I found in some old man's garage.
I miss this. Then it was a 5 speed Acura CL type s, then after I totaled that an automatic Honda Pilot, and now an Acura TL and a Yamaha r6 for weekends

My first car was a 1977 Camaro.
I loved everything about it except the interior was a bit too cramped for my liking. For some reason, Camaro dashes are a lot bigger than a Firebird and I never liked that.
MY 1966 Land Rover is sitting outside right now, I don't ever plan to sell it. It's good for when I need 4 wheel drive or general truck things. Unfortunately I need to do a little work to get it back on the road. Then re-insure it and register it and it's good.
>>14039682
>tire on the hood
why can't Land Rover be cool anymore
>>14035003
>Eats transmissions
>Shits transmissions
Sounds like you wanted to change the transmission
>>14039918
Because Euro crash regulations say that the Defender is too unsafe in pedestrian crashes. Similar reason that hood ornaments aren't a thing anymore.
>>14040138
holy shit that thing looks dangerous.
>>14040167
It was a different era, when Lord Barons of the Rollington Mobiles wanted to eviscerate any peasant who dared impede the progression of his motor carriage.
>>14035624
>15.4
How gutless are those? My durango does it in 14.3 and it only has 300 hp
>>14040167
It may look like it, but if your in a situation where you have to worry about being impaled by a hood ornament, I think you have a much bigger problem. The Defender front end is a brick so Europe decided that bricks are too dangerous.
I've still got it, all the damaged bodywork is removed and the damaged components are replaced. It's straightened back out, but I'm waiting on funds to buy all the tubing and have it bent for a cage.
'98 Mazda 323 Astina
Fun-ish to drive. Had no power (1.8L) but was somewhat spirited. Pretty comfy. Had shit interior and exterior electrics, plastics were shit.
7/10, would have as a first car again. Here it is with a snek on it cus my school was in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere.
>>14040138
Yeah but I wasn't just talking about that, Land Rover as a whole is so far from what they were born to be. The vehicles they make now are no longer the utilitarian farmer's chariots that could go anywhere and be fixed by tool chest. Everything in them now is very fragile and electronic/computerized. They cater to women with heated seats, power windows, an infotainment system that won't ever be used.
>>14040457
Oh I completely got what you were saying. But the Defender was the "utilitarian farmer's chariots", but for various reasons Europe, their main market, decided that it was too unsafe to make anymore.
I fingered my hs gf in the back seat of this car and she got her period half way through and bled all over my hands and jeans. Good times op.
>>14040534
Better than giving her an anal fisher.

'04 Volvo S80 T6. I still drive it, I'm definitely going to miss my landboat when the time comes to move on.
>>14035003
I had image related.
Was fun to drive but unreliable as fuck.
Don't regret selling it at all...
I sold it to some white-trash hillbilly at just the right time. About a month after getting rid of it, got a letter in the mail asking me to claim my "abandoned vehicle" and pay an impound fee. Hickster never registered it or transferred the title, left it on the highway when it finally conked out on him.
Luckily I filed my report of sale.
Had a shitload more fun in the 76 Mustang II that I got later on.
doing sik driftz while being maximum comfy, good times
>>14035144
Damn, ya dun goofed, shit looks nice.
I was given a '98 Accord with a busted auto tranny, I had to shift from 2 and then D, if I floored it too soon, it would slip, D would slip so I'd have to start from 2.
Some paki asshole backed into my shit and totalled it, and he ran until A witness told me his plate number.
The insurance company fucked his ass dry and I got 2k out of it.
Sold her 3 days ago :'(
>>14040729
>Hickster never registered it or transferred the title,
I had this happen to me, too. I wish there was some way I could figure out if they transfer the title or not, because if they don't next time I would pay the DMV $100 for a "lost" title and reclaim the car from the fucker after they paid me.
good ol chebby
still driving, over 200k miles
>get first car
>rice it
>>14040138
Didn't euroshit regulations kill pop-up headlights too?
>>14035127
Still driving around a base model one of these for the past five years. Plastic trim, carpet upholstery, automatic and slow as hell. Still, it's been pretty damn reliable after fifteen years.
Still stock as fuck.
>>14035003
god I remember all the rich kids driving this in middle school
Slow as hell because of that 4-speed slushbox.
Still it was the comfiest ride ever. Sold it to my cousing who didn't even have money for gas and eventually totalled it. ;_;
this was before any mods, minus the wheels

Your post gave me that chokey feeling like when you're about to cry
First car that got me through all my tests and highschool and most of college was an 04 Focus sedan. Base model. Black. Auto. Everything was plastic or plush and it was super cheap and a bit under powered, knocked a mirror off on some bushes on the side yard while backing out within a week of driving it. My dad did the same thing, and my younger brother who now drives it did the same thing as well. Lost virginity in back seat, and car got lil bro through his tests, HS, and currently college. Damn little thing is a trooper never given us a lick of problems other than the tranny being blown when we bought it with ~120K miles on it.
Pic related is first car I bought, sitting in garage, haven't driven it in forever, miss it dearly when I drive it until it reminds me why I'm driving another Focus for daily now. I've wrecked it once and repaired it, probably shouldn't have but it pulls on my heart strings in a way only an individual's car can.
Bit of rust on it...Quite a bit actually...but I have dreams for this car...Some day...I always talk to it as if it can hear me and say that some day we will pull you out of this crap and you'll be pretty again.
Pic related was wreck, that was actually the most fun thing I've ever done. The car, being nearly 2 tons pushed a first-gen Traverse forward from ~20mph like nothing. I felt absolutely no jolt or shock, though my car definitely took more damage. Busted radiator and A/C condenser spraying glorious R12 into the atmosphere that haven't worked the same since I fixed it but I went to a junkyard and some guy's parts car and scrapped a hood, fender, grille, light assembly, etc, bought a new radiator and had the bodyshop do the A/C condenser which was converted to R134 post-work.
Car hasn't been the same since the wreck but it hasn't really been too different. So..That.

I have a Honda, bitch bled on the beige interior.
>>14045503
>>14045478
>smashed grille
>smashed headlight
>smashed hood
Brother! Mine luckily survived without the radiator or anything else mechanically being damaged, only some of the steel got bent and subsequently replaced plus the radiator-cowling being blown to bits because the radiator popped from its mountings and pushed it into the engine, shattering to a million pieces

>>14045537
Yeah I spent about a month not driving due to bodywork and running around like a squirrel trying to scrounge for parts. It happened in late fall or early early winter IIRC because when I got my car back from the shop there was snow on the ground.
Yeah there was this black guy in a sketchy dealer...ship...place? with a silver 4 door with all kinds of shit in the trunk and it smelled like bad air fresheners. Also it had an ugly early 00's Sony head unit. Off that I ended up pulling all the parts that weren't new actually, except for the aux fans and the actual belt driven fan shroud. Yes I have three fans on my car. I had to rip apart one at the junkyard that I couldn't do to that guy's parts car because he needed to still turn profit on it. The aux fans were retarded hard to get out due to the A/C system on the donor car and I just ended up using a bolt cutter to break the line and get at it. After that it was a breeze to get out.
Pic related was, I believe, the donor for the aux fans. Wagon though the pic makes that hard to tell. Not sure wtf engine that is. It's not the M103 and it's not the M104, at least not the one in my car. Rear lid was either removed or had the emblems gone (can't remember) so I have no idea what it was packing. I'm not an expert on identifying all the Benz engines, just the 103 and 104.
Hop to it plebs, 1995 nissan altima GXE. 2.4L 4-banger, 150 horse,, front wheel drive, and she's clean as shit besides paint peeling and rust from being 20 years old. Got her 2 years ago, and she still gets me to and from college. Keeps reminding me that I need to save money and buy a new car. Keep in mind, I'm a 19 year old male, driving a 20 year old grandmas car (literally). Not my picture, its dark out and i dont feel like going out in the minnesota weather to take a picture.
>>14045478
Use HC-12 refrigerant instead of r134a. I use it in the R12 A/C system that is in my 1983 BMW 320i and it is much better than the r134a was. You can get 12 6oz cans of envirosafe hc-12 for $50.
>>14046265
That's one thing I was always confused about.. Are there any mechanical or physical differences between an R12 and an R134A system or are they more or less interchangeable? I mean the one from the wreck was totally shot and they replaced it with a new one.
Either way, the system it has works pretty well even with 134 but if I ever want to upgrade I'll keep it in mind
My first-- and current-- car. Honda Accord 2002.
She runs well, just a little rust on the exhaust. Bought her for $1500 CAD
RIP you sad sack of shit
![Geo-Tracker-4door[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/I0TUkVF.jpg "Geo-Tracker-4door[1].jpg")
My first car was a 1995 Geo Tracker, a hand me down from my mother. It looked exactly like this. I wish I hadn't run out of oil and radiator fluid at the same time driving up I-5.

>>14047979
You're getting warmer, but pretty much close enough. This was taken on Henderson Place rooftop
idk who Jordan is though
>>14047985
thank god
so anyways what do you drive now?
1994 Saturn wagon. Got for 500 bucks from some girl before she moved across country. Speedometer is broke but I estimate it at around 80k
speakers suck but everything else works surprisingly well. It feels like a go-cart in the best way
>>14047991
This
>>14047998
that's more or less respectable but why the N still?
>>14048006
Had license suspended, had to restart N
2017 here I come!
>>14048013
I feel your pain bro. Also if you ever see a crown vic with an N on the back as well make sure you give a wave and then tell them to fuck off
>>14048029
I'm pretty sure I saw that today on the Barnet highway
Is it all white?
>>14040534
This bitch's face is too small for her head
>>14048032
All white yes, but wasn't me.
I'm on a 3 day trip to Kelowna
>>14048050
I remember there was also an all white crown vic that rolled past a tri-cities car meet a while back, about a month
Was that you?
We all thought it was a cop but weren't sure
>>14048060
nah, unfortunately that wasn't. I only drive the crown vic if i'm going through Surrey for whatever reason. Bulletproof doors or what not
For my daily driver I just drive a shitty 2006 aveo with 17k kms

>>14045478
Holy shit I almost completely know this feel.
Except the wrecking your first car part. That's just retarded.
Mine needs tiny obscure vacuum hoses and probably a fuel pump and most likely a power steering pump as it sits parked in my parent's driveway. It's been sitting there for 5 years now.... :-(
Still got it.
>>14048147
I'll buy your driver's door and mirror off of you, or trade you with a steep payback. Mine's rusted to shit lol.
Nigga why not buy bulk tubing from home depot and use that for vacuum tubing? Pretty sure you can find SOMETHING that fits. That's what I did for my windshield washers when the tube cracked...Unless there's some reason why that wouldn't work.
