You think you've got a lot of cars? My friend has got about 7 cars at his house, and those are just ones that are fully built! He's got tons of parts lying around everywhere. He's even got cars which are filled up inside with bits of other cars. They are mostly Triumphs, though he has got a BMW, a Mini, and some Peugeot's

Snoop your bike is slow...
Mine does 0-20 in about 10 secs if I really try...top speed is around 35 on flat and 50 on down hill. 20-0 is about 10 secs rear brake only(minimal skiddage), 6 secs front only(back tire in the air), and 5 secs both(when I can keep the back tire on the ground).
It's a '91 Giant Iguana 21 Speed. Rock Shox up front, oversized alloy frame, quick shift Shimano transmittion. To stop I got "V" brakes all around with Shimano brakes with oversized pads up front and regulars in the back. Rides on 195 Kenya(I think) tires front an back. The seat is a Trek VS(I think). It stands on a police style rear mounted kick stand. Front and rear wheels are balaced.
Miles so far this year: 370

hehe...yea NissanLover my dad had an '82 Nissan/Datsun Maxima with the 2.8 V6...5 speed....that thing was a cuiser. Fast too. We would literally drift out of our temple's parking lot when he picked us uf from sunday school.
Too bad the speedo only went to 85...I'm sure we had it well over 115.

Hehe well actually...no one really talks to us about them...a nieghbor 2 houses down has a 626 that my dad fixes it.(they were the original owners of my bro's '87 626) Across the street from us(like strait across), they have a 626 and a Legacy wagon, the 626 doesn't sound good, but the guy never ever has asked my dad about it...
And I think that the reason we don't buy new Mazdas is because we just don't have the money. Also every "new" car that we get usually needs major work...each is like an experiment, we actually make them our cars. It's also something that's fun, we find the best parts we can, even find the elusive secret factory options.
It's like a project...

Dude-You are totally wrong. We aren't rich at all. If you read though, I said that we buy them used, some not in driving condition, and fix them up. Our most expensive car is the MPV, which we bought in '97 in perfect condition, and it we $9,899 I think, but it's a 92 and it was a necessity. The other cars were cheap. The RX-7 was bought for $275 and then the new 13B for it was $1800 cause my dad's discounts. The MX-6 GT was bought for $300, then fixed up with only about $600 in parts. The 323 was bought from my uncle years ago(its our longest onwed car)for a little amount I'm sure, cause my dad found him a Protege. The Probe GT(my dad's) was bought from our nighbors for $1,000, and fixed up with about $800 in parts. My bro's Probe GT was bought for $400 I think, and is still getting fixed up. And the 626 was bought from another uncle for $200(it was sorta a gift to my bro when he was starting to drive)and I think my bro put in $400 into it.
Now keep in mind, this is over many years. We couldn't do this all at 1 time.
