ITT - Brag About Your Car

Have a car you've put a lot of time/money/effort into? Brag about it here. If you don't, post a car that you would brag about if you had.


In my case, it's probably an instance where I should be posting a car that I would brag about if I had, seeing as a drive a 98' Dodge Dakota (not bad, but no bragging rights), but I have a 67' Firebird I was working on before I left for college, and I plan to finish it when I take a semester off.

About a year ago I bought two Firebirds that were complete pieces of junk. One hardly ran, but was complete... except for the holes in the floor created by rust that made it a Flinstones car, and the other was the decent body (in the pictures) completely gutted. I took every piece off the Flinstones car, and sold the scrap metal and cleaned and painted a bunch of pieces before putting them on the decent body. As you can see, I'm far from finished.





Jam it back in, in the dark.

My friend Filemon has one identical to this one above and, ever since I laid my eyes on it back in 1995, I knew I wanted that car. Too bad the asshole is gonna give it to HIS OLDEST SON. What a DICK, that guy.

All I have is a 1993 Infiniti G20.



Thing is old as fuck but it runs cherry and gives me 31 miles to the gallon. I know it ain't much but the car has been infinitely more reliable than my last 6 exes put together; that, my friends, is saying something.

My family nagged me for the longest time about buying a new car and one day I just went out to an Infiniti dealer just to check out cars. I test drove this used G35 they had there and I was in awe of the car altogether. Then as I was about to sign the papers I thought to myself, "Why the fuck am I buying another car if the old one still runs? FUCK THIS NOISE."

So yeah, I'm gonna run that rickety-ass ride into the ground and THEN I'm gonna buy a new car. I figure in the future (along with time machines) there will be nicer designs on the Infiniti G line.

I wish I knew when I'd finish it, I'm in a different state doing school and I'm not sure when I'll get so sick of it I'll have to take a semester off... but when I do I assume it will only take me one semester to finish it minus the cosmetic stuff like paint/body work.

If you like the late 60's camaros you should like 67/68 firebirds because there are very few differences between 67/68 firebirds and 67/68 camaros. In my opinion, it was 1969 when the firebirds went down hill, whereas the 69 camaro was just as cool (imo) as the 67/68. The elongated back started looking a little funny.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It has 80K miles on it, and is still going strong. Honda engineering is pretty remarkable.

Although I haven't been keyed... my Dodge Dakota looks like it could have been. I even got a new bed on it because the original one was destroyed in an accident, and it still looks like its been keyed. I used to haul a lot of stuff around in it.

The Dakota has 208k miles on it, and the only problem I've had is 2 years ago I had to replace the transmission. There are a lot of Chrysler products I don't like... but the Dakota has been a damn fine vehicle.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
