Don't think this qualifies as a bad ass, but this is my people mover...



This is my toy... the closest thing to a bad ass ride.

my new daily driver

pickup

and this stays hidden in the back of the garage as it gets me into trouble really quick.

here is the dyno sheet, making 596 wheel hp on pump gas..

I tend to lean towards American cars. And just can't seem to grow up and buy something "sensible"

I drive a reanault megane scenic, basically because mi daughter plays harp and we bought the car mesuring the instrument and all that, and my wife drives a opel, there are tipical european cars, small, small space in cities to park the cars and not long travels in car

I am a fanatic of american-swiss hamilton !!! I have four wathces of this brand, and a fortis, my unique rolex is a SD, is a very good watch but when I use it I miss my modest hamilton crono diver khaki, that's the watch I take each day

Runs like a monkey smokin' crack! It's got a Power Commander III USB and Jardine carbone fiber exhaust. The sad thing is, it's for sale. Had a work related injury, and it's gotta go. (Along with my Harley and Yamaha dual-sport). http://www.1000rr.net/vb/showthread.php?t=34544

Ow that's too bad. I really like that bike but the import tax in my country makes the price 3 times as much as if I bought it in Australia. I miss my life in Oz.

Well, maybe some other day I can get one of those again...
