The car thread !

Unique Car

I got the most unique car you’ve ever seen! It’s a white '99 Honda Civic… STOCK! No body kit! Original height! No neon! No wing! No custom air intake (not even a K&H filter, I was gonna get one, then found out that it wasn’t by Kris Holm :D)! No custom exhaust! Stock speakers!

Ok, the stereo isn’t stock, I admit, but that’s 'cause it only came with AM/FM. No tape deck or CD player. Less than 24 hours after picking it up I had installed an CD/MP3 player (with an aux in for my flash MP3 player, or friend’s iPods/minidisc players).

I admit, it’s not the fastest car, nor the most stylish. But in the summer I get ~45 miles to the gallon :smiley: (Winter it goes down, but cold does that, and I have oversize studded snow tires also ;))

Nice Tux, GUI, what distro you use?

I’ll bet it’s real fast… in a straight line… but I’ll hand it to him in my Japanese station wagon in the twisties. And for a lot current model ‘Muscle Cars’, it’s great fun to spank a Mustang GT in a wagon :slight_smile:

My Wagon

Oh my don’t even go there, I just went through this with a 91 S10 with a swap to a small block and about 375 ponies, lets not talk about header clearence…or oil pans and the lack of clearence over the cross member for that matter either. I still have to go to therapy over this.

did I metion it is 4x4. :astonished:

pretty much pimp… but nah men Im sticing to jdm

and yo evil nick… hb ? is it si ? sir ? or just normal model ?

I’m still looking at cars. I’m looking for a volvo or a subaru…

subaru is good stuff… men HONDA !

Psssh! Who needs four wheel? :wink:

I Drive a 1994 Mitsubishi Libero X Wagon. It has a NZUni sticker on it, and it’s BURGUNDY! Some previous owner thought it would be good to put 14" Enkei mags on it… Anyone wanna buy some 14" Enkei mags? Must pay shipping from NZ :stuck_out_tongue:

Hyundai Atos Prime

early 90’s toyota corolla, busted up windshield, 2 broken door handles, keyed on one side, rear bumper smashed in a little, paint job looks terrible, manual shift, everything stock except the cd player. it runs great. i have other cars at my disposal but i prefer the manual. it’s more fun.

Evil-Nick, I use some form of Debian I installed from a knoppix cd.

actually most of tje “japanese cars” r made in america… my honda was usdm… but then I swped it…

and they own…

Have you driven the WRX STI? I don’t know how it compares to the “stock” WRX but it’s got a ridiculous amount of HP and drives like a slot car around the curves. There are very few production American vehicles that could come close to keeping up with this Japanese model.

Don’t worry, Corbin, I didn’t drag race anyone in your car when you were out of town. :stuck_out_tongue:

American auto manuf’s seem to love stuffing a huge engine into a car, but they never seem to couple it with a decent drivetrain or suspension.

I went in one once… I also went in a skyline… and omg it is crazy men… but I dono I mean 170p in a tinny hb civic does go pretty fast…
