    A '95 Ford F250 with an EFI 460 that was just rebuilt and my wife drives a '95 Ford Thunderbird LX with that awesome 4.6 V-8 in it.
    She's a bit of a lead foot in that car :D

    Wow! The oil companies and middle-east states really like you. <grin> Although, maybe not as much as they like those idiots who drive Hummers to get around town ...

    Thanks,I like your ride as well. I'm not really about show, I like to go fast.
    The Red golf and red jetta are my dailies. the mk2 gti is going on 5years in production. Lot's of engine swap and blown trannies. Fun!!

    Although this year i decided to buy a bike as i can spend all the money in the world and my gti still won't be faster than the xj

    where you from?

    Haha yea, I've been thinking about putting a VR in my A4 since 034 did it to theirs.

    My car so far has

    1.8L block stroked to 2.0 (83mm bore)
    AEG Crank
    Wiseco 9:1CR pistons
    Scat Rods

    AEB head
    Supertech Exhaust Valves
    Cat Gold springs
    Ti retainers
    Cat 3652 cams

    Full-Race manifold
    GT35R .82
    Tial 44mm WG
    Tapp 1000cc tuning

    and some other stuff... Pretty crazy. Is your XJ really that fast? I cant imagine my 650 would outrun my Audi after its done.

    I'm from NJ but go to school in MD btw

    Sweet! I gotz a beastly 2002 Pontiac Aztek pusing 190 horse... it's a giant yellow beast! The wife had a 2006 Mustang GT Convertible, had to sell it so we "Traded down" to a 2008 Chevy Impala (it's actually fairly peppy for a v6, it's pulling about 210 horse, just a guess though).... I drive the girly car since I got the bike... lol

    A 3071R should put down WAY more than 250whp... Id say more like 350. I know those heads don't flow as much as a 20V head, but it should still make plenty of power... SPIN CITY! haha

    90 Honda Civic 5 speed,mid 40's mpg believe it or not 8O ,and that's combined town/highway driving,with a leaking gas tank,no tune up,and extra 100 lbs of sound system.When it was newer it must've gotten better gas mileage than my bikes (48 mpg on both bikes) But what it saves on gas,it makes up for in ugliness,slowness,and oil burning

    89 Lincoln Mark 7 LSC,5.0 HO/AOD/8.8 Traction Loc with 3.27 gears (same powertrain as Mustangs of that era) It's the race car,it's run 13.7@103.5 so far,100% stock except for ripping parts off to save weight,200,000 mi,never been touched except for new plugs/wires/cap and rotor 8 years ago 8O So how can a stock luxury liner run 13's you ask? :? Before you declare bs,there's one little addition I forgot to mention...the magic bottle,good ol' fashion laughing gas :wink:

    68 AMC Javelin,6 banger/3-on-the-tree,all stock and original except for the paint and wheels.The classic cruiser,it mostly only comes out of the garage to go to a car show now and then 8)

    My first new vehicle, bought in October. This is what the Australian Falcon model is like.

    2009 Ford Falcon 1 ton cab chassis. Tuff bars bull bar, and 8' 2" x 6' drop side tray with racks.

    Engine is a 4.0 litre inline 6 cylinder. Double overhead cams with variable timing, and 4 valves per cylinder. Glad I don't have to service shims on it. The engine does not have an unleaded petrol tank at all. It has 2 gas cylinders and is built from the factory to run on LP Gas or Propane gas only. Which is less than half the price to fill up compared with an unleaded engine. It has a 4 speed column shift automatic transmission. The unleaded engines get a 5 speed auto.

    The 2 red diamonds on the number plates are there to alert that it is an LPG vehicle with 2 cylinders - presumably in case of an accident.

    I think I've mentioned this before, but I also have a Celica of this body style:
    [​IMG]

    99 Celica GT. 2nd owner, has almost 160k and given me zero problems other than regular maintenance. 4th Celica of the 94-99 body style I've owned, they are reliable, fun cars.

    Wife has a 2000 Nissan Maxima SE, but I don't have any pictures of it.

    Apart from a couple of other reasons Rob, you are 100% correct. We were chased by a Cape Cobra (not a car :wink: ) on that trip. Very aggro snakes.

    my car: 2000 Ford Escort ZX2 fun little runabout 30+ mpg 137K and still kicking

    my wife's car: 1998 Nissan Altima 107K

    Family hauler and kids mobile, 2000 Mazda MPV. 122K

    with two teenagers driving and one in college i ain't buying anything new for a long long time I'm afraid... :-( At least they are cheap to insure, I don't bother with collision or comp coverage, just liability and medical.

    also have a 1990 Goldwing with 60K, I got from my father-in-law. i would have never bought a bike like that but when God gives you lemons you make lemonade. I actualy am learning to like the thing. With the windscreen and luggage I can go anywhere. Its almost as big as my zx2 on the left!

    1993 Honda Prelude SI4WS, that's right, four wheel steering. Lowered, got it from a friend when she went overseas, I sure as hell wouldn't have lowered it, but it does go around corners well. It has over 200,000 miles on it, I've personally put new JDM hood and fenders on it(hence the side marker turn signals, and an aftermarket front bumper and headlights, needs paint and some cosmetics, but one of my all time favorite body styles.
