What do you drive?

[PeteOz77]

I drive an Audi A4 Quattro Turbo
Missus drives a Lexus RX330


I have had a LOT of great cars in the past when I lived in USA, but once I got out here they got a LOT more expensive and half the power!

Australia? I always figured the Holden cars would be priced on par with our Camaro/Mustang types. Plenty of power there.

Yep, the top Holden and Ford Pushrod driven V8's (with 4 doors) are wicked fast and wicked expensive. A Holden HSV Ute or 4 Door will run you around $70K, and it's basically a family car with lots of plastic, and 400HP. Same for the Fords. SO I guess my earlier comment about half the power is incorrect, if you want a wicked powerful, gas guzzling shoe box. LOL

On the other hand if you want a great handling import like an A4 Quattro Turbo, with not too many options, have $85K ready.. same with the Lexus. And you can go up from there. A 7 series BMW STARTS at $175K.

That Holden Monaro (Pontiac GTO) that you guys had a few years back cost over $80K here.

2003 Nissan 350z 6 speed manual. Doing some work to it next year, not fast enough yet...

No such thing as fast enough. I have a 2007 Mustang GT with a couple goodies but nothing serious. New exhaust, suspension, cold air intake and a custom tune. Tough to balance the disposable income between hobbies...

Thanks. I've never been a fan of imports, but my buddy had a Z similar to yours and it was a blast to drive. Felt like it weighed half as much as my mustang...

My son has same car, same year. He's done lots of work to it, it will go faster. It also will get a lot louder, and the exhaust will stink

Very fun car to drive. I prefer my G35 though, but I'm old. Here's the only picture of mine I have here on the forum. I'm hoping to meet Charlie Papazian in December, have him sign my plate!

1996 Subaru Outback. Got it for $2,200 for the all wheel drive for the snowy winters.

But, I sure do miss my 1971 Ford Torino Station Wagon. Should have held on to it. Was my favorite of all cars I ever owned!

I used to despise imports but I decided to go with this one after a few American cars. It's a fun car, quick, and looks good. We will see after some work if it's worth it....

I thought about the g35, I was selfish and only wanted the 2 seats haha. Nice plates!

Nope, you should ALWAYS be able to go a little faster, that's why my car is on the juice. Thinking about a rear mount turbo for the wifes car. Got to put those new 5.0s in their place! :rockin:

03 Civic Coupe gets 40+ MPG on gas... I do not drive it like its a fast and furious car.

97 4Runnser SR5 4WD... awesome Stock grocery getter however 15MPG blows donkey balls. so it sits at home most of the time.

:rockin::rockin::rockin:Almost bought the new release series tC but holding out for this sweet azz ride!!! Troy from five axis is so down with customizing the Scion rides! He's a genius! This is a Scion FR-S with a Subaru Boxter motor. AE86 fans are going nuts, and it is rear wheel drive. Did I mention the boxter motor? Toyobaru FTW!! I am just grinning as I recite the word turbo over and over again in my head!
