Post a pic of your real car

[Slick Rick]

you really want that, or would a few more photos suffice. Notice the license plate, either I am a stalker or I have a ton of pics of it.

Photos of it at the track, I was driving so I can;t take credit for the photos.

Love that pic, your car looks sooo good

Mileage update as of today 01/08/2008:

I think my Camaro just might outlast planet Earth.

Awesome, do you do a lot of motorway driving? I read somewhere here a Civic managed to do 900000 miles only because most of it was on the motorway.

 

[JCE]

Nah, msot of it is within town. Maybe a little more than half of its miles are motorway miles if I were to guess. All I know is it runs quite well for its age. Jeremy Clarkson would love my Camaro as much as he loved his on the American Holiday episode of TopGear. You remember when he said something to the effect of; "It just wants to keep going" or whatnot...that's exactly how mine feels. It gets happy every day when I start him up.

here are a few pics of my cars.

He's posted about it in other threads here too.

It's not that much of a rare/unbelievable car to own either.

Very nice.

What kind of job do you have?

 

[Keef]

And you're not asking for proof of a SLAMMED Speed Miata that was photographed professionally? Matt, you're getting a little careless with your inquiries.

nearly done just needs some eyes which are taking forever to get here -_-

I'll post up some video I did today.

 

[Keef]

Not at all. My point is that a Speed Miata is much more expensive and exclusive, and yet he questioned a run-of-the-mill Talon. I have three friends who drive tuned Talons, but I can't even remember the last time I saw a Speed Miata! It's like asking "Hey, do you really drive a Corvette," and not even noticing the Ferrari some other guy posted.

Nice snow driving, Jumper. That looks so badass.

Here's my dad's 66 Chevelle with a 350 small block bored and stroked to 385ci. I've worked on this car since I was 10 years old :

What's that gauge by the gear selector?

 

[kingcars]

What's that gauge by the gear selector?

Actually, believe it or not, that guage right there on the console in front of the shifter is just a clock. Those cars came with it factory.

The 3 guages hanging above the console are for water temp, oil pressure, and voltage.

 

[TwinTurboJay]

The engine bay on that t-bird is very clean looking, nice ride bro.

 

[kingcars]

Thanks Jay. Before it fell into my hands, it obviously hadnt been cleaned in its 18 year life span. Check out these pics of when we did the Stang 5.0 modifications and all the cleaning we had to do:

This is the upper intake and AC compressor when they came out of the car...note the BLACK color.

Here's the upper intake right before we put it back on. As for the AC compressor, you can see it in my engine bay pic in the other post.

Then for the compartment around the engine, I used Wesley's Bleche White to get the really tough grime off. It still isnt near as clean as I want it to be, but for a daily driver, I'm not going to get too crazy on it. Thanks for the compliments.

 

[TwinTurboJay]

I had a neighbour buy one like yours, but was in poor repair...we spent weekends making it look alright, and run solid, its a great car, fun to drive. The only real problem we ran across is the base primer ford used that year, ( yellow ) and the paint would peel off with the slightest of provocation. Worth the effort though, for sure.

 

[kingcars]

Yes, I have that yellow color coming through on my bumper molding some. No big deal, considering the paint is still all original. Not bad for almost 20 years old now. Especially with the Mustang 5.0 mods and 3.27 gears and dual exhaust, this car has come ALIVE. And it never hurts to come up to the light next to an unsuspecting import .

 

[Blackbird.]

It's an Eclipse. ALso, may I ask for proof?

I don't think it's required. I know it's hard to believe there's actually a clean looking car like his on the road. (I see so many ricer eclipses it's ridiculous)

 

[Slick6]

Here's my winter setup. I wasn't too big on steelies for winter, but they were one third the price of the cheapest aluminum wheels I could find. Sorry for the quality, cell phones will never replace a proper camera.
