olds,

i bet you see alot of vehicles nose diving coming at you on the highway? looks like the police cars around here,just need really dark tinted windows(which is bullshit,we can only go 35% but you couldnt see in their cars with spot light!)

in all honesty its really a solid vehicle,and there great for a stereo system with all the trunk room!
 
Here is my daily driver, a 2005 Lincoln LS V8

Those are sweet rides jmarzilli... A buddy of mine has what I think is the last year they made them that is fully loaded. His is pearl white which looks really nice. It's his "wifes" car... he drives a ratty jeep that has 200K+ miles on it. The stock stereo/nav system is really sweet.

I thought about getting one and rode in and drove his before shopping. I don't fit real well... definitely made for someone with a little less girth. I really liked how it handled and the power, but for as much as I drive, I have to lean more toward comfort and that wasn't comfort for me.

Yours is a nice color too.

Yes, I do. Then a parade forms. After driving a merc for so long, I can spot a cop car a mile out or a merc. Subtle differences stand out when your so familiar with one or the other. But most people almost have to hit me before they realize I'm not a cop.

I'm thinking of getting the windows tinted... not sure of the cost, but may do the rears this summer.

I'm small so fitting isn't an issue. The ride was like riding on air, until I put 20" rims on it. I actually picked this one because of the color, I have never seen it before.
 
heres my new whip.. got it between christmas and new years when my old one tossed a timing belt at 80 and the insurance totaled it.

this one is an 02 accord EX v6 fully loaded. payed about 9k for it with TTL kbb is about 12k. all power, leather, sunroof, traction control, etc. I changed the stocker to a pioneed cd with remote added some pioneer tweeters to the pillars, and changed the rear 6x9' to some nakamichi's. i still havent changed the fronts but they sound pretty good. changing the head unit made a world of difference. I still havent installed the subs. i have a 4k watt amp and 2 12" rockford hx2's to go in.

this is my 3rd accord and i must say I'm a honda slut.. the first one 309k when i sold it and still running, the second 289k and would still be going if the belt wouldnt have broke (insurances fault), this one 109k and drives like new.

Those are some nice rides, fellas! My usual daily is a '99 Chevy Tahoe. Don't have any pictures right now and since it's filthy to begin with and raining like crazy right now, they'll have to wait.


Got this beauty last year from my father for $1.00, you can see the Tahoe in the rear of the first one:

damn sweetdiesel that bike looks better than brand new! is it winter year round there? j/k. i do know it takes alot of polishing to keep a bike lookin than clean, you could eat off the motor and pipes!

awsome man, very nice bike.
 
Nice roller skate Monkey! I almost bought a new one when I was like 20. good thing I didn't though I think. That's one of those purchases at the right time in life that can change a person. Lot's of air and lots of 'trim'.
 
PIMPIN AINT EASY!!!

I am spending more time trying to make my rc look like my real truck.
