What do you drive?

[drewpee]

For me OLD SCOOL is my passion( cars and planes). New cars loose their appeal to quickly. As soon as a new model comes out that's the one to have. Trouble is every body else seems to be driving one just like it. Seams more about how much money you have rather than the passion for the art that is cars.

Sorry I'm ranting again. Any how here's what I drive. It's a 1972 GTS Monaro from GM Holden Co, Australia. I've owed it for about 20years. It cost me about the same as some would spend on a new TV. It was pretty run down after 40+ years of hard yakka. I now every nut and bolt, taught myself to weld and paint. I even retro fitted a more eco/wallet friendly all alloy quad cam V8 into her beautiful engine bay.

It's way to noisy and has a bad habit of kicking her ass out of line when I push the noise pedal to enthusiastically, or the stop pedal to hard. The kids used to complain that it smells but now they're in there teens they would rather I pick them up in my old GTS Monaro than the looser cruiser(Chrysler 7-seater van).

Nice job on the Monaro, good to see in pic 3 that child labour is still strong and kicking in Aus. I once had a HQ Belmont Panel Van with a chevy 327 under the hood. But sadly now i drive a Nissan 200SX S15 rice burner, its a little worked and puts 191 Kw down at the rear wheels.

Living in the UK I'm happy to say that I drive a Renault that does over 50 MPG!

50 MPG, mate your living the dream.
I must say that if it has wings, wheels or boobs, I like it.

Im sorry. Just kidding as to each their own I saw. I prefer a go pedal to a yawn pedal. But being married I don't get much say so anymore. So after a series of 5 Mustangs over 14 years of driving I now own:

2008 Chevrolet Tahoe LTZ White Diamond Edition - hers
2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer LT - was hers
2005 Honda VTX 1300R - mine

four wheels to move the body, two wheels to move the soul

When you are paying the equivalent of $10 a gallon having a car that does 50 mpg, with the ability to carry 7 people is nothing to be sorry about
A car for me has always just been something to carry kids around in, and get the shopping, nothing exciting about them at all, especially in the UK where I spend most of my car time sitting in a traffic jam or driving around at 40 mph...

I've had more than a bit of fun in the back of a good old Assie shaggin waggin.
