Post a pic of your real car

[Team THRT Drift]

Fiat panda young 0.9. This is my first car, got it as a present from my dad and I'm happy with it (I'm the "as long as it's cheap and works its ok" kind of guy). Haven't got my license yet because I'm 16 but while driving this I'm gonna try saving up for something in the direction of a Nissan Silvia.

Panda Power!

Had to part with my Galant as it got too expensive to maintain the last few years unfortunately.

Traded it in and bought a Honda Accord 2.0i sport with approx. 155BHP and a whole lot of luxury I'm quite quickly getting accustomed to.

Must say it felt a bit weird leaving the Galant behind.

First time washing her in forever, long overdue.

Still dirty as ****. The hood and trunk are quite literally impossible to clean.

It's so much car for the money, how long untill your government allows them ?

I know that the R32 was legal to import to the US recently.

At 25 years old, a car is considered a classic by the government, and then you are allowed to import them. So 1989 R32's just became legal to import this year. Stupid U.S. government.

I want an evo 3,5 or 6 but only way Is to clip swap a mirage/colt/lancer

 

[RacingLine]

Yeah sadly for you guys that's the only option :/

So if I understand your law, you guys are not allowed to import anything ? Instead you have to go to let's say a Subaru/Mitsubishi dealer in the US to get your japanese cars?

There is a list of car we can import that are less than 25 years old, but it's comprised of trims of cars that we got here anyways. And sometimes you can get a show only registration for cars under 25 years old.

Dude - you are killing me! I was hoping to keep mine stock while I focus on my other projects but if you keep posting pics of this stunner of yours, I might have to quit this thread ...or end up spending even more of my children's inheritance! Damn what a car ...and I have seen pics of your engine too ...simply amazing. Great mods ..you have a great touch! Here is my 330i ...still as it left the factory I am afraid ...

Thanks man but you have one clean e90 as well. That has the n53 right 273hp? I just ordered active autowerkes new headers and software for my car. Right now im making around 275 with the bmwpreformance exhuast and secondary cat delete. With the headers and the tune i get 35whp or 45 crank giving me around 310hp or so.

Yeah, we have to buy us spec cars that pass us saftey standards.

All jokes aside, I went on a nice drive today with @Ferraridude308 in his Mini MC40, as well as capture some pics of my car before he arrived.

Here in Utah, the Winter season tends to come early, so we were accompanied by snowy clouds throughout our escapade (we also drove through some snow in a few of the higher-elevated parts of the route).

What is the building? Looks rather mysterious.

Still learning the specifics of taking night shots.

Looks a lot like a GT5 photomode shot.

It seems that you are doing a good job, taking night shots.

Wow, this is the first time I post my pics in a forum without getting heaps of hate.

Why would someone post hateful words about you choice of car.

I applaud you for your attitude towards cars. 👍

In large, you can thank Mercedes Benz and a few other manufacturers who lobbied for such stricter rules already years ago. Although it's not just down to them. It's a complicated issue that involves a number of government agencies.

Importing a car that's 25 years or older can be done legally through US Customs. Even a car not originally produced for the US market. The problem is, a customs entry for a motor vehicle will automatically flag a separate filing with the DOT and it also requires an EPA form. There are disclaimers in there for vehicles over a certain age. But the real tricky part comes when you try to register the car with your local DMV. People try all kinds of 'funny' things, which is why and how you end up seeing the odd (imported) Ariel Atom or right hand drive Skylines. But if you get caught, you end up in serious trouble.

Just get a car prior to 1983 and you're set.

I remember a poll in Humo many years ago regarding the biggest male fears. Being passed on the highway by a woman in a fiat panda was right on top. If you manage to make a pass with this beauty at least they will have the comfort knowing it was a man behind the wheel
