Im in Europe.

I have an Alpina b8 4,6. It is awesome. Will cruise at 155mph all day, max speed is 182 or so.

Got it very cheap though servicing and fuel costs are a astronomical.

It uses an all aluminium BMW V8. 470NM(350 torque) and 333bhp.





Only 250 B8's were made(mostly coupes and sedans, but also some estates and cabrios)

One of the best cars in the world imho.

2003 Toyota Tacoma

Here's my current daily driver - And I might add that I like it even more now that gas prices are going through the roof. The first two photos show it with a set of Eagle GT-II's installed... They were great for the road, but I needed something that could handle the sand at the beach, the occasional soft dirt, and boat ramps...(I pull my friends small boat occasionally)

It's a clean little truck that really takes a beating, and gets me anywhere. It'll pull a decent sized boat out of the water, and with the AT's not spin on the ramp. When I take it easy, it'll get about 24mpg in town, and on the highway it'll give me 28-30mpg. It beats the Ford I had hands down, but I do miss the extra room. This is the FIRST vehicle I ever bought with economy in mind...and these days when I see a hummer or big truck rolling down the road I shudder at the thought of having to fill them up with a tank of gas. $35+ is bad enough for mine.

2003 Toyota Tacoma
2.0L 4Cyl 5-Spd

Ventshades for windows - (Don't you hate when you have the window
open slightly in the morning, or after a rain, and when you turn the water comes inside with you? Great for smokers too, you can hand your butt outside the window to flick your ashes and it doesn't blow back at you!
Aftermarket 15" Steel Wheels (Cheap)

K&N Air Filter

That's an awesome car!

Me? I got a...

2005 Honda Civic SI [ Canadian Version ]
Nothing put on it and probably won't put anything in it. It's fine the way it is. And cmon, it's a Civic. I see way too many ricer Civics out there. If I'm going to put anything in it, I'll put some techincal modifications rather than aestetics.

I'm thinking of getting a Tiburon Tuscani or a Mazda 6.

My favorite ride is my '05 Rocky Mountain Slayer, mods include removal of the big ring and addition of a rock ring/chain guide, 8" rear rotor, Saint rear deraileur and hub, Mavic 729 disc rim and bolt on grips.

My other rides are '92 Ford F250 Diesel extra cab longbox 7.3l diesel. Mods include Banks sidewinder turbo, dual 3" straight pipes, injector pump turned up. Makes way more power than stock.

I also have a '93 Toyota Camry wagon with seating for 7. No mods other than a bike rack on the roof.

The Tiburon is a pretty good little car, and you get quite a bit of bang for your buck.
It also rated pretty well with the NHTSA in it's crash test results.

Heh. It's a nice little car. And the things you get included in the vehicle for the amount you pay, it's a bargain. And thanks for the test results, I didn't know they were THAT good for that car.

Yeah...I was actually impressed myself.. I knew Huyndai had an pretty good overall record in general, but the 2006 Tiburon was pretty excellent.

Here you go folks,

This is a video clip made up of pics we took on a vacation we took in 1993. Mt best friend and his girlfriend and I took a trip on our bikes. It was a low budget vacation, but a blast just the same.

My Motorcycle Vacation - 1993

The filesize is almost 17MB so be patient... I set the pics to a couple tunes by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Oh, and my apologies for the poor sound quality.

We took off from Copperas Cove, TX (near Ft.Hood) rode to a small town just east of Waco where she lived, picked her up and hit the road. We drove all through Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Oklahoma before giving up on Mothers Day 1993 after getting rained on one too many times...we hauled ass back in a rented 10ft Uhaul truck. Our bikjes were both Yamaha XS1100 models, mine a 1981 and his a 1979 (or 1980 - can't remember).

We got to see some beautiful contry, ate good, spent several nights drunk (Jr's Ribs & Bar in Nashville for one) and had a blast. We didn't have much money, but on a budget of about $400 a piece, spent 8 days and 9 nights riding and just enjoying ourselves.

Enjoy!

Wow. That was a great movie. And those were some awesome bikes :P Oh, and also. Lynyrd Skynyrd is awesome too =P. heh.

400 bucks a piece for 8 days and 9 nights is a pretty good deal. From what I've learned throughout my years, you don't have to spend any money when you go out with best friends, because if you spend 500 bucks or spend 0, you're just going to have the same great time.

... and again, those were some awesome bikes

Thanks zVp. They weren't anything special....just good old straight bikes. If I had it to do over again.... I would never have put some of those goofy stickers on the gas tank. It was a pain in the ass to remove them, and I ended up painting the bike because of it...

I did all the work on both bikes, from regular brake jobs to fork tuning, to carburetor rebuilds.

My bike started off as a plain Yamaha XS 1100. I had the seat reupholstered, and added that little patch of crushed velvet on the back for the ladies. I added Dunlop touring tires, rebuilt all 4 carburetors, added new handlebars from a Yamaha Radian for quicker turning, and last but not least a new set of 4 into1 exhaust. It wasn't Vance & Hines, but it was a lot less expensive. I tinkered on that bike all the time, always trying to get a litle more out of it, and adding new grips or something. I even hard mounted & wired in a cigarette lighter so I could grab a smoke & not have to stop. I just slowed down to around 30 mph or so, and kept the cigarette in the palm of my hand so it wouldn't burn up so fast.

My Buddy's bike was in better shape cosmetically when he got it... but we still went with new handlebars like mine, new tires & brakes like mine, carb rebuild, and new exhaust. One thing I had to do with his was install a small luggage rack/backrest since he hauled his girl around a lot. She wouldn't ride without something behind her to make her feel safe. Now we didn't go with a factory accessory, but rather one that was cheap and had to be modified to fit. I also had to relocate the rear turn signals and their wiring so that the rack would fit, but it came out pretty good, and she was happy so it was worth it. I liked having to make women put their arms around me to hang on...so no luggage rack for my bike.

The fastest those bikes ever ran was one morning after I had spent all night doing carb rebuilds on Shawn's bike. I goofed and didn't mark all the vacuum lines, so when it came time to put back together I had a hell of a time trying to get it to run right...and I was damned if I was gonna take mine apart and risk two bikes not running. I finally got it right about 7am, and it sounded sweet, although our neighbors hates us for all those "sweet" sounds. I still had the seat off, so I just laid a folded towel on the frame, sat on it, and proceeded to take it for a test drive. My buddy rode along on my bike in case something went wrong. I got it out on a 4-5 mile stretch of US 190 headed east towards west Ft.Hood...rode to the WFH exit, and everything ran good. Now to open her up and see what she had.... His speedo was an older model than mine and showed 0-160 mph. Mine stopped at 85mph (but both bikes were within a couple mph of each other in top end). I tucked down onto the tank, and ran it for all she was worth. I got to within 1/2 mile of the city limits coming from the east when I had to back out of it, and get slowed down before I got a ticket I didn't want. Top end? 154mph at a little after 7am on a sunday morning... SWEET! Needless to say we never ran like that normally, but it made me respect those bikes all the more. It was nice to have that extra power to get out of a sticky spot when necessary too.

Anyway.... Thanks for the compliment on the bikes. I really miss riding a lot. I am really considering another motorcycle once I get my Tacoma paid for!

Nice set of wheels... A HS buddy of mine had one when we were still in school. Seeing your picture brought back memories.

You read my mind. New wheels and window tint coming up. New wheels and tires will be on her by the end of the fall and window tint come spring. Do you think I should go with 17" or 18"? Most Protege owners put 17" on their cars max and it looks quite nice. 18's look a tad big for the car on the pictures. Thoughts?

I am not a fan of the huge wheels you see on everything these days, especially on trucks. But, If I had to choose between 17" or 18", I would go for the 17" hands down. That gives you a little more room for rubber. Also, after looking at the pictures again, 18" wheels would be pushing the envelope a little much...possibly creating clearance issues.

Some good looking wheel & tires, coupled with some fresh tint would do this car right. Would love to see pics when you are done.
