Yeah, I love STi's. Currently my fun car doesn't match my bike. Might have to pick up a LSB E46 M3

You couldn't be implying that the TT is a girls car???!?!?

I'd agree for the most part, but I like the Roadsters. And girls don't add coil-overs, Oettingers, intake/chip etc...

It's still a 1.8t with a K04 and AWD

LOL, yeah, thank Audi for making them out of plastic. I've sanded them and fixed them like 3 times. They just keep getting bad and I'm not paying 600 per headlight from Audi.

Yeah :/ It's not just audi, it's VW in general (our old jetta had the same problem). Trick is to protect them before they get bad. But the TT is popular enough that you can probably get aftermarket headlamps for cheaper than OEM.

camaroz1985 · February 3rd, 2012, 07:36 AM

Love the new WRX. Makes me even more sad to see mine still sitting on the trailer with it's crunched transmission.

choneofakind · February 3rd, 2012, 07:55 AM

they look girly. I bet it's tons of fun with what you've done to it!! Kinda like Miatas. Girly as heck, but sooooo much fun

paterick4o8 · February 3rd, 2012, 12:04 PM

Thanks all. loving my new car.. beats the SUV I was commuting in for the last year, but I still love riding to work also

Bought last weekend, 6 speed MT. Only thing I really plan on doing to it is tinting the windows.

Bo0stZomb13 · February 5th, 2012, 03:59 PM

My DD is the ninja, but own a 2010 jetta for the wife. My toy is a 1981 Rabbit pick up I have owned for about 8 years. Its getting striped to bare metal and being built. Shaved bay, VRT (turbo vr6), 02a case with 02s gears set (6speed) lsd, 4 link rear, Bag'd all the way around, Autopilot v2 bag managment. Way to much to list build thread is here though. Click it!

Not my first built car, def wont be the last. But the only one I will NEVER part with. She has seen 13 motors, countless set ups. This time will be it for a while though.

My newest one

DSpinler · February 7th, 2012, 12:05 PM

That was my old ride, whom I loved... then came her replacement...

She was bought for 400 bucks, and then just needed a new hood and radiator... or so I thought, until the motor exploded three months later. Still a great little car which sold (broken) for four times what I paid for her due to the civic front end conversion and yellow paint.

And now I'm in...

Not my pic, but the same car/color. I miss my little go kart machines.

cliff0529 · February 8th, 2012, 08:00 AM

That's our daily driver, a Volvo C30 (not actual picture, but I don't have any here at the office). Pretty fun little car: Turbo charged Inline 5, sporty handling and pretty comfy on long trips. We currently have 150k miles on ours and she's still running like a champ.

Funny story about how we bought it: I had driven my parents' Volvo and liked it, but my wife hated the thought of owning a "Volvo," said she wasn't that old yet. But I finally convinced her to just go look at some of the pre-owned S60's. We pulled into the lot and she blurted out "I WANT THAT ONE!" pointing to the little blue C30. I looked at her like she was crazy because she A)hated hatchbacks, B)only buys white or silver cars, because according to her everything else shows too much dirt and C) we were supposed to be looking at used cars, not new ones. 3 hours later we had traded in our CX7 and we're on the way home in our little blue C30. LOL!

greenaero · February 8th, 2012, 07:37 PM

I drive a 2000 Jaguar S Type, 3.0 liter V6, SE.
I love Jaguars and always wanted one. In my opinion, they are the best looking cars on the road. I previously owned a 1986 XJ6 that I bought in 1997 and sold in 2010. Great car but it definitely needed attention on a regular basis. The 2000 S-Type has been the best car I ever owned and even after 12 years of ownership its still fun to drive. Its also been very reliable and pretty fuel efficient ( lifetime 28mpg average, 36 mpg best tankfill)

Robinhood · February 12th, 2012, 08:54 PM

930!
The most amazing car in this thread so far.
Fantastic. Legendary!

ahenthus · February 17th, 2012, 09:56 AM

Thanks, Domagoj, I've always loved 930s. Mine is highly modified and insanely fast. I've been riding bikes for over fifty years and don't go too fast anymore except on four wheels. The Ninjette is faster up to highway speeds than most cars but the 930 is not most cars.

Oh yeah, Mazda failed at first with the motor. lol. My motor was just replaced. Has just about 3,000 miles on it. Body has 65,xxx miles. I'm used to adding oil to it. I have owned a few Rx-7's. So it was nothing new to me. The motor doesn't eat to much oil if you drive it normal. If you are hard on it, it will take some.

Mountain Dew · February 19th, 2012, 01:45 AM

The more I think about my old Evo, the more I want to get back into performance cars. Once I get a job again, I'm totally going to get behind the wheel of one of my dream cars:

Audi Quattro (the old group b rally one)
MkI GTI
NA Miata (1.8l)
E30 coupe/touring
E36 M3
E24 635CSi
840/850Ci
Porsche 944
C3 Vette
W111 coupe (mercedes)
190E cosworth

As you can see I'm more of a euro guy (only one US and one JP there).

When I got it tinted 20%. I need a drop I know..

AznJoJo · March 5th, 2012, 09:15 AM

I want one of these. I really wanted the old TC, but they changed the look and it's FR while this is nicer looking and RR.

Sinister · March 5th, 2012, 01:08 PM

They still make the tC and its FF. The car you have pictured is the fr-s (the BRZs brother) and its FR, not RR.

choneofakind · March 5th, 2012, 01:13 PM

I love the idea of the new fr-s! also, I really like the looks of the Fiat 500 Abarth edition.

I'll be watching both of those cars once I get out of college and have a real job.

I was trying to say that I like the old tC's and since they moved on to a newer design the FR-s is my new favorite.

Sorry, I got my F's and R's mixed up... lol. Yes the FR fr-s is my new love.

Sinister · March 5th, 2012, 02:24 PM

The new tC does look a bit... weird. I'd prefer the older one as well.

I used to have an '07 tC. I loved that car, I drove it cross country twice and it was always good to me. I was sad to get rid of it, but it had too many memories associated with it that I didn't want to keep around. So I upgraded to this

IMG_20101112_161244 by lithium_charles, on Flickr

It's a 2011 Cadillac CTS-V series coupe. I love this car, I've had it for just over a year now and it still is just so beautiful of a car inside and out.

camaroz1985 · March 7th, 2012, 08:04 AM

Wait so you went from a tC to a CTS-V? That's got to be the biggest automotive leap of all time haha. I really want a CTS-V wagon.

Well, I really wanted to start my life over and ditch the past, and most cars reminded me of it in some way so I had to think outside the box. I saw this car and fell in love. It was kind of an upgrade, but the fact that Cadillac was able to produce such a wonderful car when GM was at its worst is amazing, and with all of these CAFE standards who knows if there will ever be another car like it. The wagon is nice too, but after having the coupe I realize I hate conventional door handles

camaroz1985 · March 8th, 2012, 08:22 AM

Does it have the little electrcal push button in the recess, like the C6 vettes?
