Cars enthusiasts

Alright so I haven't posted in a long long time just been busy with school and work, but was wondering whos into cars (muscle vs import)? Who likes but doesn't know? Im a beginner with cars and i know basics but really would like to know more. What kind of car do you drive? (pics?)

BTW I drive a 91 skyline gts and dont know too much about add ons. Mines just a stock rb32det and would like to put stuff into my car but canada sucks still snow on the ground.

i was going to make a similar thread earlier. weird.

i am a huge fan of cars in general. definitely prefer imports though; europeans, then japs. americans have had nothing to offer for over a decade. quality is finally up though so i expect them to start competing better.

i drive a bmw 3 series now; lease is up in a year or so. hoping to get an m3; but prob will settle for another 3 series.

had 2 mazdas before. 1 of them had it prepped pretty nicely, the other one left it stock as it was just a 2 year lease and sold it within the year.

a guy at my work has a 3 series right hand drive. Never seen that before which was pretty cool. Yea im more of a japanese car guy but I love the 3 series look and m3. Always loved that Jetta from fast and furious. My dream car is that 99 skyline from 2fast2furious but doubt ill be able to afford that anytime soon. Repairs are crazy for my car. Thought the power steering pump went on my car (just a belt thank god) but it was 1500$ to ship one over.

Sorry buddy. I'm definitely not a fast am furious kinda person. Actually I never seen more than 5 mind of the first one and nothing of the others. Actually hate the whole concept. Hate body kits and huge ass wings.

I'm OK with real performance and handling mods.

Bought a brand new 1986 El Camino in 1986. It`s all original except for the radio. Had it repainted once with the original colors. Still has the original 305 engine.

my first car was a '98 honda accord coupe v6 had it for ten years (bought it my sophmore year of high school)...i try to modify it but it was still slow...it was automatic too (i still dont know how to drive stick). then i got 06 BMW 650 convertible. A lot faster than my accord lol.

But i missed my accord after i gave it to my little brother (spent a portion of my college funds modifying it). In the future i would like to get a new project car and I've always loved a skyline or the new GTR.

Nice car Vic !!

i got a custom black 1970 nova SS.. 396 motor / automatic with 373 gears.. great street car ( low 11's in a quarter ) but i think i might sell it this year.. ( around 15 g's ) probably put over 40 into it over the past 17 yrs..lol getting older now and i just want to get in something and just GOOOOOOO... having to run 100 octane and not able to go too far gets old after a while.

Thats is funny.I had a 74 Dart Sport 360.Auto,slapstick,fold down backseat,a/c,posi(dodge called it sure grip).It had a 1/2 vynyl top ,ralleye trim package,ralley wheels,including hd rear sway bar,Sport buckets that were white leather and center console.Man I miss that car,I had it in the late 70's.Some lady in a station wagon sideswiped me and totaled it.I could go on about all the cars I have and have had.But that was one of my all time favorites and wish I still had it.
