What do YOU drive/ride?
Posted on: 07.11.2011 by Royal Tallarico
This is the thread that seems to creep up on every community . What car, truck, suv, bike do you call your own? I'll start things off.

I drive a 2004 Mazda Mazda6S that I affectionately refer to as 'Florence' or 'Flo'. Its a 3.0L V6 sedan model, with the 5-speed manual (Save The Manuals!), loaded interior (sans leather-has sport cloth buckets), climate control, and sport ground effects with spoiler. Here is what I've done to it and some photos/vids

Motor:
3.0L Duratec 30 V6
Added: Cams, ported heads, forged bottom end, intake, headers, dumped catless x pipe.

Suspension added: springs, sway bars, endlinks, h brace, strut braces, Nexen N3000 UHP tires.

Interior: gauge pod with oil pressure, oil temp, and an interceptor scan-gauge. Added an sti driver radar detector, blinder laser jammer, and garmin 2730 nav and speedo. Short throw shifter.

Exterior: removed some stuff for aero reasons. Added HIDs for better evening visibility.

yeah they sure do drink the go go juice! Ive found the mpg goes up when doing motorway runs. did a 200mile round trip to donegal last weekend and only used less than 3/4 of the tank...however 'normal/city' driving i might get 16-17 - calculated approx

Lol, thanks well the first one is for work. L

The VW Polo is brand new, I've hardly driven it yet or taken any decent pics, thats not my car in the pic, mine is black.

I'm a huge fan of VW, ever since owning my first Beetle.

Bit harsh on the buttocks, but a hoot to ride.

I also drive an old Peugot 405, but I can't bring myself you put picktures of it on the internet.

Not nearly as exciting as everyone else lol. 2010 Corolla LE.

But, I drive a lot. Bought it in March and have almost put 20k miles on it so far.

Was tough to trade in the Audi A6 2.7L TT. But, had to for gas economic reasons.

Sweet! I like them. My buddy has an Altima coupe. It flies. I'll have to look into those. I'm pretty sure I'm getting an older car for my 6S replacement. Speaking of which....

This is my car as of toevening . A deer found the side of it omw home from school. Doesn't look as bad from the angle, but the entire side will need replaced. There are dents everywhere. Probably be totaled.

It is indeed a wankel (or rotary) engine. Which are exceptionally power efficient (231hp from a 1.3 litre), but horribly fuel inefficient (about 17mpg). It takes a bit more oil than your average motor car, but mine uses about half a litre every 1500 miles or so. Not as much as people would have you believe!

10.11.2011		Nice! I have a love affair with the Miata. Probably going to sell both my cars for one in the coming months.

Guess I should mention my other car. Its on jacks right now waiting on a transmission. 2006 Saturn Ion 2.4L LE5 Turbo. 5-speed, 300whp 331tq, and a hunk of crap. lol. Hoping to fix her up and sell it for what I owe then dump the 6S and get a Miata or Subaru outback.

Tracktors are kinda fun....take off the weights in the front and its WHEELIE time!

All the red ones are masseys
Yeah they are fun to drive, especially since they started putting decent stereos in

This is me on my Nirve Fifty-three coffee metallic shimano gripshift 3spd.

Mods include chrome mudguards, chrome nirve springer fork, bigger DingDong (bell), and Chrome CrownCapz.


I also used to rock the 2001 USD signature model of Champion Baumstimler.

Though the real colour more looks like this:


Next to this madness, I also drive a 2006 Skoda Octavia, 1.9TDI Ambience:
