What do you drive?

I just had this idea of making a thread where everyone can share pics of there car(s).

I'll start this thread out with my car. My 1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme which I love very much.

these first 2 pics where taken late last year and the other 2 where taken early this year.

I painted my grill silver instead of black that made it look plain.

how do ya like my spongebob air freshener? lol I'am 22 years old and love spongebob.:oops:

If you want to share pics of your car(s) please feel free to do so here. It will be cool to see what everyone drives.

Here's my Volvo S40 1999, loving it. :D

I got plans to paint those black rims to bodycolor sometime when I got more
money. Also bigger tyres and different rims for summer :)

EDIT

Nice car Steveo, there's nothing wrong liking Spongebob :lol:

Spongebob rocks ! I like him too :D I drive Nissan Maxima from 1996 ( Don`t have pictures atm, will go out later and take some ), if I remember good. That`s my parents car actually, but I drive it sometimes too. Next year I`ll probably gonna have my own car.

Flash nice car, I like S40 very much, don`t know why, but to me it`s one of the nicest volvos o.o.

lol I thought I was the only one who liked him lol.:grin: Maxima's are nice cars btw, they can look really nice all fixed up. I agree about Flash's Volvo the S40 is one of the best ones and his looks really nice.

i hope i can get my own car soon...
nice rides btw, guys
and indeed spongebob kicks ...! :D

StickyFinga

02.10.2006, 20:22

Lol, personally I think Spongebob is utter crap and just plain dumb :D.

But indeed, nice rides guys :).

This is my 2000 Peugeot 206 1.4

I ain't rich so the car's still stock, nothing fancy. I'm in love with the color tho.

[edit]: Bought it so I was able to get to the Barracks quite comfortable :).
Did 22.000km with it in the last one and a half year that I got it. Last winter
me and a few mates drove to a parking lot that was covered with snow. Two
trees were standing there and I had los of fun doing drifts around those trees,
ah the times :D.

Finally I see a guy of around 20 years old (or young) who actually DOESN'T rice up his Golf, Civic, Corsa or in this case 206. And I also like that color (only kind of orangelikely tint I like). :)

Nice cars guys, too bad I can't join as I don't have the right to drive now and I live just about in the citycentre so we don't need a car, unless I want to impress peeps.

Lol, personally I think Spongebob is utter crap and just plain dumb :grin:.

:cry:

FlashG

02.10.2006, 20:31

Nice color indeed Sticky 8)

I was going to buy new 206 wagon GTI version but they were bit too expensive
for me so I bought the Volvo. Didn't want to buy used GTI, can't know how
the old owner had treated them, full throttle all the time perhaps heh :)

DLT

02.10.2006, 20:31

Nice color Sticky, remembers me a bit of 350z`s Lemans Sunset :cool: .

StickyFinga

02.10.2006, 20:33

Thank you guys :). I like the dark red of your Volvo, too, Flash. The only
other color fitting that car is the dark blue they got besides some other
colors. Oh and black lol.

Nice color Sticky, remembers me a bit of 350z`s Lemans Sunset :cool: .
Haha, nice :D. You don't happen to know someone who would swap that
kind of 350z with my Pug? :lol:

Steveo

02.10.2006, 20:33

@Rodney I would skateboard if I could lol. I've tried many times but failed badly at it.:)

@Sticky Nice Peugeot man, we dont get those over here. Like everyone else love the color.

@CLR-GTR I'am planing on getting a civic cause I like them alot but I'am not gonna go crazy with it like some people do.

DLT

02.10.2006, 20:50

No one drives french cars here, well at least I haven`t saw any french cars so far. Anyway, just got back from outside, took a two pics of the car.

Nissan Maxima 1996

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/Edvinas/th_Maxima1.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/Edvinas/Maxima1.jpg) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/Edvinas/th_Maxima.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/Edvinas/Maxima.jpg)

btw few days ago got myself a new camera. Brought back the Olympus 710 back, didn`t like the quality of the pictures, and the pictures always got blurry. Now I have Nikon, now that a camera, better picture quality, and it even tells you if you took a blurry pic etc.

Steveo

02.10.2006, 20:54

Nice car DLT. Nice and clean and love the color to. Your new camera takes awesome pics.:cool: I accually use my moms camera its a Fujifilm more cheaper model but it gets the job done.:wink:

Btw is that a black or a dark green?

DLT

02.10.2006, 21:06

It has unknown color :D I really don`t know, it sometimes look like dark blue/brown/violet sometimes like black...

FlashG

02.10.2006, 21:06

Great looking pics dlt, looks very clean :)

Maxima's have 6-cylinder engine yea? Anyways they sound pretty nice :)

Steveo

02.10.2006, 21:07

@DLT lol, It looks really cool though.:wink:

DLT

02.10.2006, 21:10

Yeah it`s V6 3.0l engine...if i`m not mistaking.

StickyFinga

02.10.2006, 21:11

Heh, my pics were taken with my cell phone :evil_laugh:.

3l? Damn, I wish I had some HP more :|.

Steveo

02.10.2006, 21:15

My olds has a 3.1L and 160 hp stock. I want to make a custom intake for it and put some other minor performance parts on it just enough to give it alittle extra get up and go.

DLT

02.10.2006, 21:33

Heh, my pics were taken with my cell phone :evil_laugh:.

What ?! o.o I`m still amazed with the picture quality your phone makes.

I don't have my own car, that's too expensive in this country when you are a student without a job.

I drive the cars my parents have. First one is my dads car.. an Opel Omega. People in america don't know it but it's the same car as the Cadillac Catera. That is just a rebadge of the Opel. And ppl from the UK know it as vauxhall omega.

Not my own pics, I 'borrowed' some from the big web since it's too dark now to take pics outside :D

Car is green as on this pic:

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f122/B-Buster/th_3546132.jpg (http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f122/B-Buster/3546132.jpg)

And it is the same model (wheels etc) as this one:

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f122/B-Buster/th_ScreenShot024.jpg (http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f122/B-Buster/ScreenShot024.jpg)http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f122/B-Buster/th_ScreenShot023.jpg (http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f122/B-Buster/ScreenShot023.jpg)

Secondly we own an Opel Agila:

http://www.vezess.hu/content/hauto2/269897_1.jpg

Small car but very useful. I drive to university with it when the weather is bad and I can always park with it while others can't find a parking place their car fits in :lol:

Car isn't used very much, only did 30.000km since 2002.

Steveo

02.10.2006, 21:41

The omega's a nice car,:cool: I've seen the Cadillac version around here before.
That little Opel Agila looks like it would be fun to mess around with.:wink:

B-Buster

02.10.2006, 21:44

Omega ftw. When I have a job in a few years, I'm planning to get my own omega. It's a damn relaxing car, very comfy and with RWD which I love :D

And yup you can have some fun with that Agila. It's not fast at all but in the city it's enough to p0wn some ppl :lol:

DLT

02.10.2006, 21:51

I love Omega`s :cool: I had a ride in that kind of Omega once, liked it a lot.

B-Buster

02.10.2006, 21:53

Steveo

02.10.2006, 22:05

@B-Buster LMAO, Now thats a nice ride.:lol:

B-Buster

02.10.2006, 22:17

Most loyal ride I'll ever have :D

StickyFinga

03.10.2006, 02:05

What ?! o.o I`m still amazed with the picture quality your phone makes.
Yeah it's great. But it doesn't always come out like that. Taking those pictures
took at least one minute, each :lol:.

Lol Buster, 30.000km is quite much, well done. I should fix my own Bike up,
or let my Uncle take a look into it. Guess I'll need it soon.

That Omega is quite a big car compared to mine hehe.

Aztlan

03.10.2006, 06:49

Heh than you had a good experience :P

I almost forgot my most important ride hehe:

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f122/B-Buster/th_mohawk.jpg (http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f122/B-Buster/mohawk.jpg)

Got this one now for.. hmm 8 or 9 years I think. Travelled over 30.000km with it :P

LMAO X infinity
I am trying to picture yourself riding that thing :P

here is mine

http://images.dr3vil.com/thumbs2/default/VAuto2.JPG (http://images.dr3vil.com/files2/default/VAuto2.JPG)

I wish lol

Steveo

03.10.2006, 07:04

LOL AZ!:lol: I remembered viewing your thread with the VAuto car show pics so I knew something was funny when I saw that pic.:grin: When I scrolled down to the bottom I noticed "I wish lol" in small text.:grin::)

That car is bad ass by the way.:cool:

FlashG

03.10.2006, 08:47

Opels eh, they are considered very unreliable here. I've heard lots of bad stories about them. Gotta say that I haven't heard much about the newer Omegas. Guess they were more reliable than Astras and Vectras. :)

Anyways I like the Omega too, it's very nice looking car and really is comfy as you said. My friend used to own one few years back :)

B-Buster

03.10.2006, 10:17

Unreliable? Hmm that's not the image they have here at all. Maybe they don't like the cold weather or sth over there.

My dad is driving cars from opel for many years and never had problems with them. That agila of us never need anything else than regular service, and the omega had just one bigger repair some weeks ago, but that's normal after 6 years.

@Az: respecto for my bike :P

@Sticky: well we bought the agila when it was 1 year old and had driven 12.000km. We did only 18k in the last 3 years, which isn't much if 2 ppl use it imo :)

StickyFinga

03.10.2006, 11:40

Lol Az, go get some glasses :P. That's Buster's bike.

@Sticky: well we bought the agila when it was 1 year old and had driven 12.000km. We did only 18k in the last 3 years, which isn't much if 2 ppl use it imo :)
I was actually referring to your bike - not the Agila :lol:.

B-Buster

nvm that then :P

Yup I use my bike alot.

Steveo

03.10.2006, 23:29

Audi's are very nice cars and the Saab's are cool to.:cool: Good luck in your search for a 9-3.:wink:

DLT

03.10.2006, 23:37

Is there any chance to see your Audi A4 that you had ? You said in some post that it`s the one in your avatar, but it`s too little to see it :).

03.10.2006, 23:57

StickyFinga

11.05.2007, 22:25

No doubt those things are useful in certain areas, but I don't really like them
because they influence the look of the car. No offense :). I haven't seen many
cars driving around with those in my life so maybe I'm just not used to them.

Steveo

11.05.2007, 22:29

Yeah I got it cause The rocks hit my hood really bad and I already have some rust spots on it because of that. I personally think it looks cool but thats me.:wink:

-edit
I'am going to repaint it sometime to and I didnt want the rocks to mark up my new paintjob when I get it done.

11.05.2007, 22:48

Good idea for a topic guys, good thing it was bumped :).

Ok, so this may not be the coolest car out there, but I sure as hell love it...it's not exactly my car, it's my bro's, but I drive once in a while :D.

So, without further ado, the 1981 Mercedes-Benz W123 E200 (mobile phone photos):

I so need better pics...

I got several ideas for it, mayby build it like that one in my sig or turn it into a S70R.

Steveo

11.05.2007, 22:58

@_Mike_, Nice Merc man, I had the chance to buy one of those cheap but I didnt. It was just like that except it was silver.

@Nik, Thats one of the best Volvos ever made, nice car. Are you going to but a bodykit on it or leave it stock?

Nik.

11.05.2007, 23:13

I know its one the best cos its the grandfather of the new Volvos :D

And yeah I will build it like S70R:
http://ww2.beffo.se/upload/pic~/mgso03u1ll.jpg

Or like the one In my sig, cant really deside...

Trim and chip it to 330hp+ easy fix, since Im a car mechaninc. ;)

Steveo

12.05.2007, 02:05

@Nik, I think you should go with the S70R style cause that looks awesome.:cool:

Nik.

12.05.2007, 06:48

I know but one friend I have had a R front on his V70 and it got stolen...so he have no bumper now lol.

And building it as a S70R..I need to rebuild most of the rear fenders so I need a other car to drive meantime cos that takes time.

Building it like the one in my sig I just change front and backlights, front and back bumpers, wheels, grill, paint doorlists, doorhandles, Grill and a Spoiler, dont need to weld and rebuild the rear fenders.

And I have a girlfriend that says just let it be and spend the money on her insted lol...

Next car will prolly be BMW 325 touring E46. I've just fallen love to it

Nice plans Nik althou I like the first 850's look more than S70's ;)

Nik.

12.05.2007, 07:03

You mean boxy. :P

Watch up on rust on the bonnet, under the grill...Volvo using economy metal on the bonnet on 95-00 years models on S/V40.

And do the BMW in Max. :P

That little green thingy you have to carry around when you're driving a

Well I`ll be looking for a car soon. Mitsubishi Eclipse or 3000GT...don`t know. 3000GT`s are more expensive than Eclipse...but if I`m going to look for Eclipse then I want to get GST or GSX and those are hard to find :-| I don`t know...will see how it works out.

To bad you dont live around here DLT, theres a few eclipse gsx's here and they go pretty cheap.

Oh man. Since I moved to this place where I can't park my car in a car park
anymore it's getting real dirty over the week. Pollen and bird shit, but I can't
afford cleaning my car every week. I'll try to get a different parking place.

Nice shot, Steveo.

Steveo

14.06.2007, 23:04

Thanks Sticky.:wink:

Yeah our cars get dirty fast here to from the birds and crap flying off of the trees ect... This is the second time my brothers washed his car this week but he has more time off then I do lol.

Aztlan

14.06.2007, 23:08

at least you guys dont live close to the ocean over here..

the Marine layer/salty environment over here eats away the protection layer the paint has..

my car looks like it has snow lol..

B-Buster

14.06.2007, 23:46

Nice shot Steveo. Lol if I had a car I'd do the same thing for sure.

And yeah, cars get dirty quickly. Those birds seem to look for clean cars to drop their shit on.

Aztlan

14.06.2007, 23:58

^^ you dont have a car? :p

heck one time I cleaned my car.. and the next day I see that sea gulls bombarded the back of my car.. is like they lined up to drop their shit..
I even made a thread about it :lol:

B-Buster

15.06.2007, 00:08

I don't. Too expensive in this country where policians get off on inventing as much taxes as possible. Not to mention the insuarance fee's..

And you make threads about everything, so I'm not surprised about that :lol:

Heh, yeah.. but it's the closest thing to driving for me :grin: Seriously though, just keeping a car around here is so expensive that I can't afford it :P well, after I finally get my studies finished and get a real job I'm quite certain I'll buy me some nice car :spin:

Az I'm living next to the sea, only few kilometers to the coast. Sometimes you can smell the salty air here, you know how seawater smells :)

Also at winter maintenance puts SALT on the road that they wouldn't be so slippery so it's important here to keep your car clean regularly. I usually wax it 3-4 times a year. That should protect it bit already

is not only that...

but what wears the protection off is the drastic climate change here

sometimes the day is sunny and hot and the next day it cool with marine layer (clouds from the ocean with breeze)

or in the winter when is really cold.. occasionally we have summer weather lol

DLT

16.06.2007, 00:47

Behold the new vehicle. 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT with 31k on the clock, good condition, everything works just fine. I think that I got a good deal for $12k. It screams for a wash tho, very dirty.

Aztlan

@Aztlan My friend with the WRX is pulling it off good. Not sure how much he gets per hour...8-9 maybe. He pays for fuel, car, don`t think that the insurance is from his pocket tho. His car is worth 23k I think. Anyway, I still need to find a job, sitting all summer is FTL.

Aztlan

16.06.2007, 01:50

tell me about it.. sitting during the summer it plain sucks.. good thing I will take some classes during this time

16.06.2007, 04:48

heh, going to work at an auto garage this summer, maybe i can make enough to pick up something with wheels lol.. bicycle maybe :P

Steveo

16.06.2007, 06:39

@ Nik, Nice Volvo man.

@DLT, I love that year of the Eclipse nice ride.

I found a project car that I'am probably going to buy. Its a 1994 Honda Civic Ex with a 5pd manual. Its a damn steal to cause all there asking is 300 usd or best offer. All It needs is some minor body work, new clutch and engine but I'll be buying a performance crate engine for it anyways.:)

To some a Civic is nothing but to me its a dream really, I've always wanted to get a Civic and tweak it out cause there like my favorite tuner car.

Aztlan

16.06.2007, 06:42

yikes.. that too good to be true.. it must need a lot work man..
there goes your new pc lol

Steveo

16.06.2007, 06:59

No its reall lol, I looked at it today. There rich people that own 2 brand new 40,000 dollar trucks and they also have a porsche so the civic is probably a peice of crap to them.

I'll still finish my pc if I get it. I'll get my computer done then I'll start buying parts for the car.
The cars in really good shape except for a couple small dents and alittle rust which is easy to fix. Other then the body work all it needs is a clutch and engine, the engine thats in it is fine but its got 222,000 miles on it and needs a cylinder to run. I figure I might as well replace the old worn down engine anyways.

-edit I just did some research and realized that the engine is actually fine it just needs a slave cylinder which hooks up the clutch to the motor. Still though I would get a new engine cause the one thats in it is worn down.

16.06.2007, 17:44

@Sticky 3l V6, 205HP. Stock exhaust is FTW, sounds so sweet.

@Steveo Is it a hatch you are looking at or not ? I knew a guy from maryland who bought himself a hatch for $500 ( i think, might be a bit wrong tho ), made a little rocket out of it :D Slam a H22 ( Honda Prelude ) engine in it :). Good luck with that Civic if you are getting it.

Steveo

16.06.2007, 18:03

@DLT, nope its a 4door version which I like the best but thats just my opinion. I love the hatchbacks to though those are sweet.

I'am going to try to get it, Just gotta call them up and see if I can make a deal.

I just bought my self a 95 Chevy S-10 Blazer. I was going to buy a project car for something to fool around with but I decided I'd be better off getting a nice 4wd for the winter as my Olds does not like snow.

I got a good deal on it from my girlfriends mom and love it alot but not as much as I love my girlfriend lol. I've always wanted a chevy cause I'am a chevy freak anyways.

Anywho heres some pics I took of her today....

Yeah they took really good care of it and always kept up with oil changes ect.. Its in really good shape for the year.

Its actually got 184,000 miles on it but the engine runs like new. I've never seen a high mileage engine run so great as this one does. Alot of the other blazers around here the same year have knocking engines cause they werent taken care of.

@Flash, I think I'am going to keep the Olds for now cause I dont really want to sell it. It has to much sentimental value.

@Nik, The cool thing is that it came with a free half a tank of gas.:) I know it wont be as good on gas as my Olds but there probably wont be much difference if I drive it right. Oh yeah, I'll take a pic of the motor in a few.

@AzO, Thanks m8.:wink: Yeah you'll love having your license and your own car cause then you can just go for a drive when you please. I love drving and can never get enough of it.

Those aren't rent much though, so it's only occasionally that we have a car like that at our parking terrain.

That civic is the 5drs model. We had it here also but it never got popular. In that period there were quite alot of different civic models.

A list of them:

I once sat in the rear of the car. Or actually, I had to squeeze me into there. I think I wouldn't even sit good enough on the front seats of that thing.

Have to say the paint looks good on it, not that dull like the red car of my neighbour which looks like pink now.

I think many of is interested, what cars you are driving in reality... maybe what are you going to buy...

As me, i dont have a car yet, need to wait a bit, but as first car i am thinking of BMW 730d E38 after facelift.

BTW: first car a BMW 730D? You kidding right?

Get one with less insurence first...

B-Buster

30.12.2007, 19:39

Such 7 series are nice, my favorite kind of that model actually. But pretty high operational costs, so unless you got lots of money I doubt it's a good car to start with. Not to mention insurance :-)

I myself don't have an own car atm, will buy one within 6 months. I do drive lots of cars, since I work for a car rental company. Everything from renault clio's and opel corsa to volvo v70, audi a6 and cadillac cts we got there. Also some vans.

Edit: you're right nik, we allready got a thread like that. I'll merge this one into the existing thread.

tomz777lv

30.12.2007, 19:41

damn, i didnt saw it...
yip, i like that car, it has so big and comfy interior and 3.0d "eats" less than 5.0 or 4.5.

yeah, insurance for that car is kinda not so good for wallet.

B-Buster

30.12.2007, 19:45

Fuel costs aren't so big compared to the rest.

Here in my country, that car would cost around 1600 euro of tax a year, 150 euro of insurance a month and then you don't even have covered fuel and maintenance.

azo

30.12.2007, 19:45

Not only the insurance cost much for that kind of car, but it also costs a lot to actually have it.

tomz777lv

30.12.2007, 20:00

In my country, these models are many times stolen, so it adds more cost to insurance adding plus minus those wrote by B-Buster. As i think one of problems are its big weigh, so parts wear out by the time.
I also was thinking about Audi A6 C5 with 2.5tdi or Lexus IS200, they all have high insurance (in latvia) so only thing what i am turning attention is other costs.

Nik.

30.12.2007, 20:05

If you want a cheaper big car look at Japanesse and Swedish cars, VW aswell but Audi,Merc, BMW and Lexus is way to expensive.

Why not? Do you need radio in your car? You can listen to home. Do you need automatic gearbox if you can drive with manual? Do you need AC if you can open the window?
Its such a expensive option (if we are looking for new car) for such a great price.

I went to the car show looking for at cars today, I will probably get one within the next year. The top 4 are(all 2008s) the base impreza, high trim level lancer GTS, base MAZDA3, or maybe even a pontiac G5.

@ABA- that spoiler on the thunderbird does look a little weird.

It's not that bad.. I'm kinda starting to like it. Offcourse it's far from being so sexy as the previous models, but just look at it. It's not too bad, is it? And it's still as powerful.

maybe the STi looks a bit better, but stock version ... i just hate it...

DLT

31.12.2007, 17:52

I`ve seen the new Impreza and here`s my opinion. If you are buying one make sure you get the WRX, with upgraded front grill and 18" rims. I`ve seen one like that for sale and it looked awesome, tons better than the base model. Those rear taillights have to go, tint them red or black would look a lot better than the stock ricer ones. ECU reflash on WRX will gain you a nice amount of horsepower!

STI looks tons better, haven`t seen one yet tho. Those flared wheel arches look awesome, gives it the muscular look. The new STI is faster around the track than the new EVO too, but when the FQ EVO`s gonna start rolling of the production line they gonna kick STI`s arse imo.

Here`s my conclusion, WRX would be a great purchase, good bang for the money and a great fun factor. With couple modifications it would be as fast as the STI.

B-Buster

31.12.2007, 18:12

I like the car, but when you put an Impreza badge on it I'd expect something different. I still have mixed feelings about it, cos it's so much different as the previous generations.

But as said, the car itself is nice if you get a decent version like DLT mentioned.

Steveo

31.12.2007, 19:19

Nice cars ABA. Really like that ford truck.

I dont think that spoiler looks good on that red thunderbird but other then that it looks cool.

boilerpride03

31.12.2007, 19:22

I agree with you guys that the old impreza is better, but if i get an impreza it has to be new for the waranty. I HATE the new STi, and the WRX is still too expensive, so it would be the base. Thats why i'm liking the '08 lancer gts more than the impreza, it looks better and has a few more options. The thing the lancer doesn't have is the extra 20hp. But it doesnt matter too much because I wont be getting one of them til this time of the year next year, until then I will be driving a mini van, 05 accord, and maybe a 300z.

DLT

31.12.2007, 19:38

If you are aiming for the base model, go with the Lancer, it is a definitely better looking car by a mile. That`s what I`d buy with my money.

Since then I drove :
Opel Vectra 1993
Opel Vectra 2002
Ford Mondeo Stationwagon 2003
Massey Ferguson 250 Turbo - 1991
Toyota Corolla Sedan 1995
Fiat Tofas 2000
Mercedes E200 CDI 1999
Renault Mégane Sedan 1994

And I still drive the Ford Mondeo Stationwagon when we are on Holiday in Turkey , in our village :D I always drive the last 80 km to our village at sunset
and I sometimes drive at the Toll paying lines , because 1 line can take 3 - 15 hours of waiting , so sometimes my dad is sleeping in the back and I drive the car slowly in line with the other :D that's so cool ... but mostly I drive my own car , it's very comfortable and nice , boy ... I miss her so much :(

This is not the place for bragging around what a good driver you are - no matter, whether legally or illegally. So stop it, please!

I think, people with an I-am-the-best-driver-in-the-world-attitude tend to forget that there are other people on the road.
I guess, we have a different opinion on what 'a good driver' means anyways. It's things like experience and rationality that make a good driver.

StickyFinga

02.01.2008, 23:00

I agree. I'd suggest you guys take a little time-out, and try to grow up while
you're at it. No matter what you say, you are not the best drivers in the world.
You will never be the best drivers in the world. And if you're looking for other
people who drove illegally when they were (physically) kids, I'd suggest you ask
the ones who didn't pass the driving exam for the 7th time, or maybe the ones
who died in traffic accidents. There are rules out there, so try to respect them
here too or this topic soon be another locked one in the Borg Hall of Fame of

All I have to fix now is the hood and I'll be good until I do the body work and paint this summer. I'll be installing my exhaust system soon as well which I cant wait to get on there. Anyways heres some pics of the new grill installed.

It's a 2002 Holden Commodore which I have had for about a year and a half. It's not a particularly outstanding car, but it does the job, and hasn't given me any real problems.

On the thumb it reminded me of a Mitsubishi, and the big picture makes the side somehow remind me of the Pontiac GTO.

Nice car, nice color it has.

I got my dynomax catback exhaust installed yesterday and it looks and runs so much nicer now. The exhaust tip I have on there is a cheap old one I've had for a while but it looks good.

:lol: Opel and Holden are the European and Australian divisions of the General Motors company. The Opel Omega is released here as the Holden Omega. It's basically a much newer version of my car. I haven't driven one yet, but they do look a lot nicer than my car, (especially the Euro version, which IMO, looks nicer than it's slightly more square looking Aussie counterpart).

i know i know, swedish cars are ok, my father drives one (Volvo XC70 d5), but they dont give a pleasure of driving what gives BMW. I dunno i still have time to change my mind, but now i stick with 730d. i found great one for 7300 eur http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/2537/bmw730d29980fj5.th.jpg (http://img441.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bmw730d29980fj5.jpg)
take a look: Automatic gearbox , abs, all electric options, , xenon, PDC , seat heating, stereo , TV , Navigation, CD and light beige interior any many more.
Does cheaper car with less insurance gets that options? like VW or Mazda?

Nice car, was thinking of what to get when I pass my test. the main cars I had chosen were a 2007 Mini Cooper with Auto option, Fiat 500 or on the far end of the scale a BMW 320Ci Auto.

Learning in a manual, but I'm not a driving enthusiast so dont mind an auto

A much newer version of your car.. that is depending on which version of the
Omega you take as comparisation. I think it won't differ much if you put the
original Omega B from 1995 next to it. They renewed that one in 1997, and
pretty much redid it in 2000.

Here (http://www.senatorman.de/opel_omega_b.htm) you see most of the versions based on the Omega. Most is in german,
but pics talk for themselves. :-)

Yeah I know.;-) I'am going to sandblast it and paint it black when I do all the other body and paint work this summer.

It dont sound as loud as I was hoping but it does sound nice and it gives out more horsepower so I'am happy.:-D

@Buster, I know I cant wait to get it all done up nice.

Nice shape for an 18 year old! Er.. the car i mean.:lol: Yeah, I could see where you would want to get rid of the cassette player.(does anyone actually own any cassettes any more?)

one more thing, I would do, when you have the cash, is lose those WW tires and wheel covers for some nicer rubber, and some decent rims.;) BTW, what's the mileage?

Geez

I'm 23 ;P haha

That's not a cassette player either......just one crusty Clarion head unit I plan to swap out for a Kenwood w/iPod control.

I do need new rubber.....badly haha Those WW are a pain to keep shiny....am thinkin about throwing on some mags.

Mileage? When I bought it, it was at about 175,779mi. I went back home last weekend to do some serious work on it........so add 100 more to that.

Fuel economy really isn't all that bad. I've been getting solid Hwy. mileage anywhere from 23-26MPG. In town is where it really blows.....about 17-19MPG on avg.....this thing has a 22 gallon fuel tank too.....
