This is my 1997 Ford Ranger. Yes, it's a truck, but barely. I like it though, it's cool when I have to haul stuff or go fishing or something. |

This is my spoiled old car, 3800 V6, stock 165HP, 220 ft-lbs torque. I modded the exhaust and use performance plugs and wire. Added tints and remote starter.
Not bad for an 89...I love my Bonnevilles.

Wow, you all have sweet rides!
I did have a car, then a truck totalled it, so now I am between cars... When I do get a car, I will try to get a pic of it online and share it here. PiercedLip: That car looks really nice, did you put a lot of money into it aside from the purchase price? |

What's with the "Type LT" badge? That's something I've not seen before. I'm just curious on that one. Anyways, here's my cars:
My 1997 Olds Cutlass Supreme 4-door, 3100 V6(the pic is a little over two years old, and as a bonus, you get a pic of me!) 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix 2-door, 3.4 DOHC, A/T |

Thanks for the compliments guys! I've had the car since new and really there's nothing I'd realistically trade it for. I've driven SL55's, Porsche 911's, etc and really nothing really combines awesome performance and luxury like this car. I drove the new M3 and it really didn't do it for me like the E36 does.
Calcartman, estoril blue is an awesome colour for the M3! It was the most popular choice for the E36 M3. I guess I've just got a thing for black cars. I haven't done much to her, just yet. Put the clear indicators on right away, and last summer I put in the Euro headlights. The improvement over the stock lighting is amazing. It's really the most potent 240hp I've ever used, so I'm gonna stay away from the engine. If I put more money into her then it's going to go into the suspension. Don't get me wrong, this car handles BRILLIANTLY right outta the box but I wouldn't mind reducing body roll a little. You guys should check out my site, Movin2Fast - An Online Hub for Car Discussion, there's a lot more pictures there of my car and some of the other sweet cars I've had access to over the last few years.

Here is my caddy. 1987 Sedan Deville
I bought it for $1500 with a bad engine and dumped in a new high performance jasper engine for $3000. I currently installed a 5 inch screen and have a blaupunkt dvd/mp3 player in it. It has only seen 2 winters in it's lifetime. Yeah yeah I know my hood ornament is missing...god damn loser thieves Hey BonneFan I love the late 80's cars with the 3.8's in them...my brother has a 89 lesabre....it's fast...easy to work on and reliable as hell

Thanks Merker...ya, those 3.8L V6s are bulletproof, one of the best North American engines ever built
Good looking Caddy to, classic car!

SLM3; I would love a black one too. But my mom got it and she had a thing for estoril blue. And i agree with ya on all counts; The engine is amazing. I love the clear corners; I think the orange stock ones dont look all that great. The only thing im ever going to do to the car is add exhaust cause the stock one is very restrictive, A few suspension bits, and maybe some weight redux.

Love to see the BMWs and the Benzs. Once I get a pic of my car, I'll post. It's basically the same as <b>Boners</b>. A silver '98 Ford Mustang GT. Even though it has the slowest 4.6L, it still has potential!!

mah car
Here are pics of my car on the day I picked it up. It is #566 of around 1000. I wish the scanner I used was not so crappy, it really kinda makes these pictures look bad.
It's a 2000 Saleen Mustang S-281. I have big plans. Last edited by strife; 04-21-2003 at 12:05 AM.. |

440 sixpack: what were your specs on the dyno and have you done any mods?
a1t3r3g0: Thanks I like the new look but its definitely the power that sold me. As for the turbo its gonna be a long project. I have been debating the size but like I said the computer(and the transmission) will be the real test of what I can do. Kenne Bell is working on a blower and a chip and I am hoping the chip will help. well see |
