My parents have an 04 Jeep Wrangler (Electric Lime Green). I love getting in that thing and cruising with the top down. Plus, being in Tennessee and all, chicks dig trucks and Jeeps, and the 5-speed helps to show off a bit.

I drove my co-workers Wrangler Sahara, doors off, top down (didn't go above 30 MPH- residential) and it was so much fun! I could definitely see how that would get addicting.

Welcome!

Was just directed here. Going to in about a month be driving a Chevy Sonic, 1.4t 6-speed stick. Have in the past driven an 87 BMW 535i (for sale right now) and drive our FSAE car (flappy stick, but close enough).

Oh yes! Manual is the only way!
2008 BMW 328i 6 speed here.

This me writing on my 2000 Ford F250 that God gave to me for FREE. I was heading to a week long church retreat. They call me a swampy since I'm from south Louisiana so I where it as a badge of honor. Lol

my project car...1967 austin healey BJ8 3000. The new carpet kit, and the new top are in the trunk when this pic was taken. The engine and transmission had just come from the machine shop, and I had driven it 30 miles to start the break in, and test things out..It is 100% original and will be ready for the Pebble Beach concourse show next spring

and that is an original 1943 willys jeep in the bachground

1981 corvette. It is one of 7 on record to be colored with the 06L paint color (metallic mahogany) and the 672 trim code (cinnabar leather).. It is the only one with this color combination, a 4 speed manual transmission, and a posi rear end (with "performance" gear ratio option)

my own hand built harley davidson. The engine is stroked to 129 cubic inches (2,113 CCs), and a baker wide ratio OD6, 6 speed...OH, and it has a 45 horsepower "hot shot" of nitrous

I have a few other cars as well, but these are the "fun" ones

Graham Monette · #**336** 12-10-2011, 11:34 PM

^ Brilliant. 2.1 liters, and 45hp. Got to love Harley's eh? love the fact they shake themselves apart thanks to a faulty crank/counterweight design. Yet you paid HOW MUCH to own one? I dont know, I just dont get why a person would buy one. I can go on and on for the next hour about Harley's and their history, but I wont.

Heres my 6 speed.

and my other

And my two basses

Lee H · #**337** 12-10-2011, 11:42 PM

graham..we have similar taste in roadsters. I love that little BMW, but I stand 6' 4", so I really do not fit in one. So Instead I drive an SL 500...but it has an auto (could not get it in manual)

Graham Monette · #**338** 12-10-2011, 11:47 PM

^Im 6'1. So I can appreciate that.

What year is your SL500? I was really thinking about one before I bought the Z.
The '89-2002 5.0's are pretty damn hot cars.

merc is a '96, with a little less then 86K original miles. Really my F250 super duty is my daily driver, and I also have a short cab short bed dodge for bouncing around in the woods. The little merc just sits and looks good

forgive the poor pic quality. This was a phone pic, and I do not have good ones on this laptop

and the harley is a monster. I used to be a machinist, so I had a few ideas about building engines. Last dyno drag it posted 161 rear wheel horsepower, and was destroying busas...that was with the old carb, exhaust, and without the nitrous
