    Car Wars...

    ....Tell us 'bout your thrills in your automobiles.

    Haha... In all seriousness...

    What kind of cars does everyone drive?
    Any interesting car stories?

    I, myself, drive a '95 Altima which has been completely revamped. This old third-hand car has been revamped so much with my father and I working on it. It was once a car that got my mother from home to work and vice versa, but is now a very clean car.

    ...Paint job, spoiler, side skirts, sound system, head lights, tail lights, etc... my dad and I have been doing a lot. However, what I enjoy most is just working with him... bonding basically. That's our time to get away from his work and my work and school and just chill.

    We have put about 2 to 3 grand into this car, with only about a grand payed off by me thus far... and he expects me to pay every penny, including car insurance, phone bills, and gas; but deservedly so.

    I'll get some before and after pics if I can...

    As far as car stories...

    I was an idiot one night with my friend... I drive about 15 MPH passing through a closed area when my genius buddy pulls the e-brake, causing me to sort of drift (he was infatuated with Tokyo Drift), but more of skid. I then continue to hit/run over a curb. Low and behold, an off duty cop followed and when I parked to see the damage, he boxed me in. Mind you, I have only been driving for 3 months...

    ...Long story short... I was cited for 2 counts wreckless driving: 1 for "off-roading by continually running over curbs multiple times" and "screeching my wheels to exhibit speed and initiating a race" (quotes from my tickets). Cop made me call my parents with the latter ticket being a misdemeanor.

    EDIT: Forgot to mention the cop said I was a wannabe thug driving like an ***hole.

    I was forced to attend driver improvement school and I was forced to go to court.

    End result: 2 Tickets, 8 Points, 40 hours of driver's school, $400 in fines, and a plead of "no contest".

    Your turn, guys...

      I drive a 2001 White Honda Civic that was my sister's before she moved to San Francisco.

      In the year and a half I've had my license, I haven't gotten a single ticket or gotten into an accident.

      Interesting car stories...I can't think of any.

        I got a DUI going 80 in a 55.

        The end.

              I currently drive a '05 TSX. I was also driving a Mini, but have since broke up with the girl and subsequently, the car!

              First ticket I ever got I was clocked doing 102mph in my '98 Toyota Corolla. $426 cash, traffic school and nothing on my record. I was 19 at the time. Yeah, I was lucky!!!

                I drive an '04 Grand Cherokee. Have never had a wreck in it or my previous vehicle I had from December '02 to September '06. However, my only speeding ticket came in that vehicle and I was doing 59 in a 25. One of my parents is in management in IT for the police department here, so I got it wiped off and didn't have to community service or pay or anything


                But last November, rolled through a stop sign. Had to do 3 hours of community service for that one to keep it off my record.


                No crazy stories for the Grand Cherokee. I've gone on some trails with it but nothing too special.

                  I've been wanting to put pics up for Bkrich but I always forget to do it. I will remember by this weekend, and I'm sure you will put up pics of your Skyline when that comes out.

                  Anyways I have a 04 Subaru wrx STi. Its white, with a carbon fiber hood and trunk with Gold Advan 18's as the wheels. I have pretty much everything you can do it to without upgrading the turbo and intercooler system. It has an uppipe, upgraded turbo back exhaust, pulley's, ecu/fuel managment chip, upgraded short shifter with better brake pads (it comes with Brembo breaks stock). We also upgraded suspension and dropped it close to 2 inches.

                  It's a beast, i haven't put it on a dino (kind of hard to find an all wheel drive dino) but i would say at crank it is over 360 horsepower.

                  Last we ran a 12.9 on the 1/4 mile in Alaska. I haven't ran it in AZ yet until winter time. Since it is all wheel drive I can play around with the center differential and put a percentage of power to the front and back tires. I always usually put the max to the back and have 30% to the front and 70% to the back.

                    Winter/Work car - 05 Altima

                    Spring/Summer car - 05 350z.

                    I'm a big Nissan/Infiniti enthusiast. On my fourth Nissan currently and saving up to trade it the Z for the G35.

                    Don't do too much engine work. I have the Nismo edition Z and that backs enough heat for me now.

                    Only thing I love working on cars is retrofitting HID/Xenon projectors. That is my hobby. If your wondering what retrofitting is, here is a quick picture off LS430 projectors on my Altima.
