Title: Favorite car, truck, SUV, motorcycle
Post by: Yoeddy1 on January 19, 2011, 04:09:44 PM
What kind of ride rocks your world?  Is it a vintage American muscle car, a hopped up rice burner, Italian exotic?  Everybody has their favorite...let's hear about it!  Photos, videos, whatever!   :89-

I have always had a thing for Toyota Land Cruisers.  I had a buddy that owned a 70's model that we used to go 4-wheelin in and it could go almost anywhere.  I really like the current models.  Not from a 4-whellin perspective...just a nice, comfortable, and good looking ride.  Hold an excellent resale value too.  I'm also an Audi head.  My wife drives a black A6 330hp 4.2 V-8 and it's got some serioius scoot to it.  I would really love to test drive an R8, but the ultimate would be a New Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport.  1,200HP and will supposedly run out at 258MPH!

This video will blow your minds...listening to the statistics and also the performance of the car:

I love motorcycles too, but I'm to much of a candy ass to run wide open on a Suzuki Hayabusa!  I can't believe how fast this guy is already running when he still finds the last gear!

I didn't watch much of the car video. Honestly if I wanted to travel 260 MPH the damn thing better have a wing on each side and a big titted gal asking me if I want to rent a set of ear phones for the flight. Fastest production car made, they sold 304 in the last 6 years. I wonder how many race cars Rodger Penski produced in 6 years? ( I know that's apples and oranges )

Now to the motorcycle video, it's as counterfeit as a 3 dollar bill. I'm going to try to explane why I say this. Next time your driving down the highway, start counting the white center line. If you are traveling less than 60 MPH your eyes will start moving up the road. At 60 you will just be able to count the lines, over 60 you will lose count.

Now watch the white lines in the video, speedometer is showing 60 when he/her pulls a wheelie (oh and rides it to 140 ) and the white lines are going by very slowly. I didn't look up the spec's on this motorcycle, maybe it does go 200 MPH but not in the video I just watched. I think at these speeds they would have to put a girl on the bike, a guy would be handycapped, his B***S would be dragging the ground.

Since I was a kid and we had the club bikers living near us, I always wanted a harley.... so as an adult I not only got many of them, but also managed to learn/live the life.

Goldwings are great! I wish I owned one...  I currntly own/ride a 1987 Honda Super Magna, ( I just love
vintage bikes!)   But my all time dream bike is not even street legal  :81-  It a 1974 Bultaco Sherpa T  :89-
Back when I used to ride and compete..(back in the dark ages) it was "THE Rolls Royce" of Observed Trials machines..
I really wanted one then, Hell I still do, but I am too old and dont have the balance I had when I was young..  :37-

No, Need a bigger garage!

In 1986, I bought the Chevy Camaro with T-Tops.
I loved it! It was my 1st brand new vehicle!
A couple of years later I wrapped it around a pole... :96-
Luckily, I walked away unscathed... :294-
The sound of the body crunching and folding extremely quickly - was something else!  :5-
So, what did I do?
The insurance settlement allowed me to go out and buy a brand new 1988 model!
That car lasted a lot longer than the 1st one....lol

yes bigger garage/and then it would be like a slot machine collection 1,2,3,4,5,6,and the #s keep getting higher.but i know how you feel/ i like having my cars inside to clean up and wash them.we also get lots of snow here ,and it is nice to just pull outside and leave. i just cleaned my drains in the garage and the snow melts and goes away/
