I got an 03 ram 1500. Chrome bumper, grill and rims. Looking to put a 4 inch lift kit on it in the next 2 years. Also have a Panasonic deck that does Bluetooth audio from my phone. | ||

This was tough for me, but I had to trash the '93 Buick LeSabre. Got it when I was 17 and put more money into it than I ever should and entirely out of love. Rebuilt transmission, replaced the radiator, probably some other stuff I don't remember. The final straw was when the air compressor went out because driving a dark car with no A/C was just terrible in midwest summers. Rest in Peace, Buick:   Oh yeah, replacing that back window was a mess because on top of the cost of the window I had to pay someone to peel back the vinyl cover. It was like 600 dollars. I drive a 99 Ford Escort now. I love it. It has no power, it's an ugly green/teal. No power windows/locks, no cruise control, I have windshield wipers that I salvaged from another car and don't fit right. The AM radio tuner doesn't work that well so if I'm listening to a Reds game it's all static and evil. The speed sensor is fucked so about every 2 months the check engine light comes on and I don't know how fast I'm going, but it always starts to work again and so I let it be. I push it hard on the highway and it still gets me great mileage. Even with gas as high as 4$ a gallon I've never had to put more than 35$ in to fill it. I love it. |

Ironically its better than the Mazda 3 because they had all kinds of rust issues with the bodies, the Focus had no such issues. I'm still a truck guy though, I'll take my Ranger over any car. Not only is it reliable(in 10 years all I've had to do was replace a hanger bearing and a leaf spring bracket) but if something did happen its a simple enough design that i could get it back up and running on the side of the road fairly easily. Yeah I will be getting a small SUV/Crossover for my next car, the new Escapes are really good looking vehicles. Don't really want anything bigger than a mid-size. I dont like any of the offerings out currently aside from maybe the Yota FJ Cruiser. Its pretty bad ass. |

I got a 2001 (mk4) volkswagon gti. The only mods I have done was HID headlights and a air intake. Keeping it mainly stock because I would rather have an WRX. As for audio, I haven't touched it due to the fact that the gti I got had a Monsoon sound system with an amp in the back instead of the first aid kit. The sound quality is descent enough for me to not put any money into upgrading. |
