nice line up diesel! Im thinking about trading my srt in on an 04-05 s4. love that it's v8, 6speed, awd... need to find a nogaro blue with seat inserts!(dream car)

Daily work driver is a '99 Chevy S10 truck with a 4 cyl 5 speed manual. Easy on gas and cheap to maintain. We also have a '07 Hyundai Santa Fe; our 2nd Santa Fe. Great vehicles... years ago I was a Hyundai Master Tech before moving along to service writer and service manager jobs. The other stuff I drive requires this (yes, it's carbon fiber... retails for $1500... but I'm a dealer for Impact safety equipment among other performance manufacturers so it was a bit less for me thank God!)

[darklight616]

carbon fiber=drooooool

2011 Malibu first car.... looking at a Hyundai genesis coupe right now

[Too Old]

Anyone need a nice little brand new 331" small block Chevy that should make just shy of 700 hp... with titanium valves, shaft rocker system, belt drive cam/distributor, sheet metal intake w/2 gas carbs, vacuum pump, external single stage oil pump, carbon fiber dragster scoop, new downswept merge collector headers, etc...

That is one nice looking helmet! Do you ride or is this supercar territory? You're making me and my $100 Icon helmet look depressingly pitiful haha.

wow Tim, that is one sweet ride! I got a soft spot for the oldies

Really like the old Chevy! Very cool. As to racing, I drag raced for years and was the '90 NHRA Division 5 S/ST champ. The next year I moved to a dragster and raced S/C, Comp, S/Q, and some IHRA T/D where I runner upped at 2 of their national events. I parked my dragster and drove an alcohol funny car from '96-98 and won the MWFCA title in '97. After '98 I rarely got to the track, but try to sneak in a couple runs in friends cars each year. Last one was a dragster with a 588" aluminum Mopar engine and I went a 7.23/188 in it. I'm also probably the only guy at work (I'm the service manager at a H-D/Yamaha dealership as of last July) who wears a helmet when riding a motorcycle, lol. It's second nature for me and I don't care if it's a bit uncomfortable... it beats the possible alternatives if you crash. Nights/weekends I also build race car automatic transmissions; mainly for drag race use.

The car I won the NHRA championship in '90 with. Usually slowed down to run the NHRA S/ST class with a 10.90 index, but wide open it went 10.10/132:


The dragster I still have... this shot taken around '92 in Norwalk at the IHRA World Nationals where I qualified with a 7.39 run for a 32-car field. The engine was a 572" big block Chevy that made 925 hp; usually I ran a small block though and went a best of 8.28/161 with that motor. The best pass for the dragster was with a 1053 hp 458" big block and I went 7.16/191:


The alcohol-burning funny car I drove. It had a little 388" small block in it but still ran 6.88/203. Probably the most fun car I've driven:

Thats impressive!
Drag cars are crazy.
Always loved visiting the nearest drag strip here when I had a chance.

Here's a few shots I took of my gfs ride

[Too Old]

Shaun... now you know who to call for trans needs, lol! I'm a WD for BTE, TCI, JW, and Trans Specialties. Also Jesel, Impact, and a few others. I'd imagine there are a few folks out there that I know as well. Does she run the Norcal TD stuff too? Can't tell what track that is for sure... Fontana?

Here's what I'm currently driving, A 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart



Here's some of the stuff I ride off the road, not everything is in this shot

[totalone]

I drive a Green with a tan top Buick Park Avenue. I couldn't pass it up when I saw the price (bought it 3 years ago). I end up having to haul two teammates to games and tournaments. The car has taken a beating but it won't seem to die.

My daily driver is currently a 2009 Honda Accord EX-L. It has a baby seat and juice stains on the ceiling. I average about 50,000 miles a year on my awesome Hondas.....but the one shit ass Toyota Camry I bought coudln't hang. I think I got 3 years out of it.

And yes, I love my 4 door sedans. Even when I was 23 living by the beach I rocked an Accord EX with Thule surf racks. Loyalty Brah.

[Kovey10]

I'm daily driver is a 2012 Ford F150.

I have a 1970 Chevy Monte Carlo that only sees the road in the summer going to shows and such.
