My everyday fun car, 700hp supercharged monster machine. It's a 98 Corvette that's been customized by me building the engine, upgrading the interior to Torch Red real leather. I installed the wide body fenders, updated all the electronics to current technology. It's race ready with rollbar and required safety features for the drag strip.

Wow so many high HP cars here (lots of Vette's), mine is the opposite end of the spectrum but inner city nothing would beet my high revving last of the line naturally aspirated RS200 Cup Renault (a future collectors car and possibly the best hot hatch ever, Evo Magazine rated 5 out of 5 stars, full Brembo brakes). Shortly to sell it to my nephew and go back into something more big boy in an Audi RS5.

Since I don't have a photo of my current ride, I'll post a shot of the one I recently sold. Maybe it'll balance out the sports cars a bit too

Awesome it was only a few years ago these were bringing A$25-30K now are chasing $100K+. Lot of power in a small car, just ask Maxwell Smart.

2010 Honda Odyssey Braunability (side entry ramp wheelchair accessible) & 2002 Honda Odyssey. The 2010 is my wife's van. The 2002 is my back-and-forth to work van and can serve as backup to the 2010.
My next car is likely to be a minivan (have a 4- and 5-year old).

Nice car. My first car when I was 16 was a 1991 notchback 5.0 with an auto trans. Put 3.73 gear, aluminum driveshaft, 2600 stall converter and full exhaust and other boltons and it would fly. This was way back in 1995. First ticket was a 99 in a 55. Still wonder what my parents were thinking letting me get that car.

Wish I still had it original 5.0 notchback cars are hard to find these days.

Just 2 kids? You shouldn't need a van. They are all out of strollers and you should be able to down size your vehicle.

I used to have a 1960's BMW and Porsche problem. Then I got really ill and started restoring these things.

Just love tracking them down and the zen of mechanical repair. I let the next guy paint them.






BTW, Have a jeep problem too...




I'd be best if we didn't discuss Harleys.

Here's a picture of the GSD in the 2nd ambulance picture being all tough chick with my boy dog in the first picture. Why? because it is so dang cuuuuuute.

We love both of ours.. and with good maintenance no reason they can't go a few hundred thousand miles.

On long trips they are great. They are also bottomless pits. They are great to take to the local hardware/home improvement store.

The 7 speed DCT. The car actually has every option offered except lane assist and that is the only one I didn't care about. The competition and executive packages are nice adds for sure. Have a Great Day!
