Lets see your cool car or motorcycle

I didn't know you own a hot rod. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Want to know something funny....that white 2 door Explorer you see in the background? It's my Father in Law's vehicle, and he parked it waaaaaaay too close to the fire, it peeled the paint on the driver's side door. I kept telling him to move it and he kept saying, "naaaah, it'll be fine", but once the gas tank blew on the Jeep it was all over, lol.

OK, you guays deserve a good laff so I'll post one of mine. Beware......I said it was small and I wasn't kidding.
btw, I currently have it for sale. I think I'll look into an older Mercedes 450 or something on that order for my next toy.

I have been shopping around looking at 90's E series wagons lately. It is hard to find good used examples in this area. But they are impressive and amazingly practical cars. Takes some money to keep running but it is a good investment if you can do some of the work yourself and/or you know a good independent Mercedes tech.

Sadly due to limitations in the local market and a car a friend brought to my attention up in NJ I may be getting another Lincoln Town Car. OK not really sadly but the wagon aspect of an E series appealed. Still I do like a nice lincoln town car.

I don't have pictures of my vehicles, but one is a 97 Cherokee that's been beat to death, and I have a 74 VW Thing in the garage that's waiting for some love. A Thing for the uninitiated...

VW things are cool as hell. One of the neatest things VW ever did. They should reissue it, I mean they reissued the damn Beetle. I am curious what their modern take on The Thing would be.

I'd like to see the Karmann Ghia reissued also. That one Audi(can't remember the model) looks like a modern take on the theme. Modern cars mostly bore me. They lack imagination and style. You could swap badges between the different makes, and you'd be hard pressed to tell one from another. There's been some notable exceptions over the last decade or so, but generally I'd categorize new cars as bland. That seems to be what people want. The makers will release something interesting, and people respond by buying the turds. It boggles my mind.

Agree completely...

My newest addition:

Sweet Owens! I actually had Dodge in mind when I mentioned cool looking cars. They started the modern trend of making things interesting. They get some flak from people over their designs, but I assume those people are legally blind :^D

[Owens187]

Yeah I am definately a dodge guy. The white Ram in my earlier post I bought new in 2001. I now have 130,000 miles on it, and in the last 11 years not one single thing has ever broken or went out on it. Most dependable vehicle I've ever owned. You crawl under it and ain't nothing but dusty metal under there, not a single leak anywhere. Mobil 1 and good preventative maintenance, and a dodge will never let you down. And a Charger? Fuggetaboutit. If that ain't the sexiest car you've ever seen, especially this new body style, then you are in fact, legally blind, lol. =^P

How much does one of those cost in the US? :-) It's impossible to afford one in Denmark, let alone pay the fuel(about 8$ per gallon).
But I think the car costs what would be about 150000$ :-/

It really depends on the trim level and option/upgrades. They range from ~$25,000 USD for a base model, to ~$45,000+ USD for the SRT8 SuperBee. One like mine will run in the $33,000 - $36,000 USD range. Of course that's not including tax, licensing, or finance fees. If you finance those numbers go up by several thousand.

I drive a 2008 Magnum.

(stock photos) I never really took pics of my cars.

I also have a 2007 Nitro the Mrs. pokes around town in.

We never have problems with Dodge, except for the galvanic corrosion on the tire stems with the Nitro. They rot from road salt and are $$$ to replace because of the tire pressure monitor is integrated...
