Starting off Car discussions for the Motorheads... my 06 VW GTI.

I love your sticker BTW.

I guess we are locally famous because of it? A couple of our friends have told us others have brought it up as being "the Red Suburban with THE sticker' type thing. In one case we met a woman who's boss had told her about it before she met us - then she put one and one together.

And we only have had it a couple months.

So, she got that, I get her 04 Ford Escape (134k miles on the 3.0 v6), which is in my opinion the best car I've ever driven for what I want in a vehicle. I'm going to sell my 05 Dodge SRT-4 to put towards the Journey.

The SRT is a blast, but I can't do any projects with it (like bringing pallets to the renegade filed I play at once a month) and it hardly fits my PB bag. Now I'll not have to deal with that.

is it clean? a clean unmodded untrashed srt4 is becoming really really rare. the ACRs are even more rare.

Sort of. The bad part is that it has a restored title and the desert sun has not been kind to the topside paint. It is stock aside from the blowoff plate (stock is a bypass valve, so the plate turns it into a blowoff valve) and then there are the Motegi Trak Lites that I put on.

bought some 15x8 6uls from my miata friend for use on my spyder. got a 1 inch (big) front bar coming in, already have the crash bolts, so a nice aggressive alignment, and it should be a pretty decent STR car. maybe over the summer some cheap coils and a cat back, but i think it should do pretty good.

Out of all the cars I have ever owned (last count was 20+), my favorate to drive is the 1st year Mazda Miata MX5! Still got her. I will get some pictures up as soon as I get her out of the garage & give her a wash down & wax. She is still bone stock with 130K on the dial except for the paint, that was resprayed in 2008. Came out of central FL, so the top is totally shot & my head rest on the seats are dry rotted from the sun. She handles like a dream tho! Super fun to drive! It loves the curves & pull awsome after 4500rpm! Almost cant tell its a little 4 banger in the higher rpms, I mean really little 4 banger(1.6L). Unfortunatly I live in NW Indiana so not alot of curvy roads. :( I can't remember for sure but I am either the 3rd or 4th owner of this lil go kart. Here is the part you will all hate me for, I picked her up for $120 off of my dad. All because he didn't want to drive it back to FL. Weekend paintball trips are a little tight in her. Have to limit my gear to the bare min but its worth it. I get alot of laughs cuz I'm 6ft tall 250lbs & people just cant seem to think I can fit in it! But supprisingly I dont feel cramped at all.

I hope to be able to get some new rims this year & hopefully a turbo from Flyin Miata. And a new top!

I promis I will get picks up soon.
