Love it. I had a big decision to make when I bought my truck. I was eyeing the SRT10 and the SVT Lightning. I ended up finding a Black 2004 Lightning with 11,500 on the clock and jumped on it. :)

2008 Dodge Dakota Laramie 4x4. Almost fully loaded with the 4.7 V8. So far, it just has an aftermarket airfilter, an intake mod to trick the computer into thinking the incoming air is colder than it is, and a 3" cat-back exhaust. Next it's getting a tuner, and eventually maybe a lift and some bigger tires. This is my third Dakota, and fourth Dodge truck.

My #2 Toy

Toy #2.

1976 Lincoln Mk IV Givenchy, just rolled over 40,000 miles (64000 km), 3rd owner.

Came with the factory 8-track (+ 2 boxes of 8-tracks) and CB

It rides like a dream.

I love the ride. You could go over a set of rough train tracks with a full glass of champagne er, water on the dash and not spill a drop. It's like sitting in a lazy-boy on a mountain of mattresses on a mountain of pillows ;)

Wow, really awesome rides man, and Ford for the win. :up:

I really like that mustang of yours, and that Mark IV is boss. :D

Totally worth the extra gas. What surprises me is the +20 mpg the Linc gets, so long as you don't open the 4 bbl. The Stang, well, who cares! lol

Nice. What have you done to it so far? Because we all know there's no such thing as a "stock" Lightning anymore :rolleyes: My cousin has a white one.

I snapped my cross-pin in my rear axle a couple days ago and pulled the cover off yesterday. This is what I found. I was building a bigger axle anyways, just need to get it done sooner now.
The ford 7.5 wasn't designed to be run behind the torquey 4.0, especially with a locker and especially with my heavy foot abuse and large tires.
http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/4131/755de3.jpg
What awaited me when I opened the cover, that's a piece of crosspin laying in the housing.

Chunk of crosspin sticking out of it's hole.

Crosspin bolt without a scratch on it, and most people can't even remove them without breaking them!

OMG you're using the 7.5:yepp::shocked:
One of my buddies had an Econoline Van for his band and it had that engine in it.Those things are friggin huge and are one of Ford's biggest non-commercial blocks:up: They also come in a Diesel flavor.

No no, the rear axle is a 7.5 (7.5" ring gear diameter). A 460 (7.5 liter) would have a hard time fitting in my engine bay. My rig has a 4.0 from a 94 explorer.
The diesel you're thinking of is the ford 7.3 IDI and powerstroke 7.3 neither of which share anything with the 460.

To go along with all of our other cars and trucks we also just picked up this new 2500HD this summer. Has the 6.0 with a 6 speed auto, trailer tow package, 5th wheel package.

Eibach is the way to go in my mind they beat the crap out of any other brand in handling specially in my Focus. For the Peon opps mean Neon I believe they make a pretty good kit for. Specially if you race I would def try them out.

If you're racing, I'd go with the S-Tech's over Eibach Pro-kits or Sportlines. From what I've read, the S-Tech's have a higher spring rate than Eibachs, although I couldn't find any actual spring rate specs. For the Neon, it's 201/197 lbs. front/rear.

I don't race race (someday hopefully) but, I do participate in track day time trials with a car club that I also autocross with.

$$$ is always the problem. What I want to do and what I can afford to do are at complete opposite ends of the spectrum. Ideally, two cars. But that's just not an option right now. So, I'd like to figure out a compromise somewhere between street and track performance....leaning slightly toward track....I do have to commute with the car too.

And then there's this problem I have that I really, really want a rear wheel drive car. So I'm constantly fighting myself dropping $$$ on a real suspension vs. saving it towards a RWD car and just leaving the neon alone.

I hate my indecision:D [/venting]

I'm in the same boat, along with the RWD car lol. I drive this car every day, and ride isn't bad. Definitely more rough than stock, just pay more attention to potholes, bumps, manholes, etc. and you'll be fine.

The exhausts are nice too m8. Too bad your vid doesnt work here :S would love to hear that sound! :)
just a dream of mine to own such a Subaru!

Thanks man! I personally love the new style. I've always liked the older models but this one has a little bit more "grown up" feel to it on the inside and out, plus the added space to make it more functional.

Next up on my list of mods is some wheels/tires/coilovers and then it will really be where I want it to be. For now I'll just rock the winter tires--but then again, driving it int he snow is a hoot!

Also, one last thing--try opening the video in VLC media player. It should work fine if you have all the updated codecs.

Don't expect too much :D Btw, does your MV6 has a lsd? The MV6 B-Omega is pretty nice but what I have heard they are not that reliable.

Yes, 45% LSD, rolls nicely both wheels on wet tarmac, sometimes even on dry.. And with automatic transission including winter program it's very good car to go in winter conditions also. About reliability, what can i say, it's Opel :) My problems with the Omega have been small oil and water leaks in engine and transmission. Nothing serious.. Strut mountings i had to change in front, the front wheel supports are a bit too light for this weighted car.. 270 000km already driven so not a miracle if some problems appear.. Rust is ofcourse one little trouble with these over 10year old rides.. But very nice ride when in good shape and nice acceleration in highway speeds, not a 0-100km/h rocket..

Yeah, I knew when I bought my car that Opel's are not known for great reliability (not the worst but not the best). I like my Vectra but I hate the fact that almost every Vectra (excluding Sport models) have very long gear ratios. That kills the acceleration and doesnt improve the fuel economy that much.

A small note about the Fit (USA & Asia), Jazz (Europe); "Honda originally intended to name the car Fitta, but the word's meaning in some languages — in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian, "fitta", "fisse" or "fitte" is a rather crude slang term for vagina — resulted in a last-minute change to Jazz." Thats why it got two names, same car! :ROTF::D

Sounds like that would be fun. Even with this 160hp version it is still fun to drive. I actually didn't even see a MazdaSpeed versions anywhere I looked. I don't think my insurance rates would be too friendly with that trim level either lol.

Insurance on the MS3 is no worse than any other car in its class. Would have been like 800/year more than a base model 2.0L mazda 3 for an 18 year old in NJ with a clean record.

By the way.. How much do you pay insurance per year? Here in Finland I pay ab 800€/year (ab1030 USD) of my Opel Omega with 3liter V6 engine (220hp). (Same car as Cadillac Catera there in the US). Driving is very expensive here because of expensive gas and car taxes too..

Just come to the Midwest in USA I call this place the Dollar store of the US. Gas here is 1.60 something and that is after it went up about ten cents. My car insurance and motorcycle insurance is like I think 1000 bucks all together so not bad considering my motorcycle is half the size of my four cyc car, but I am also on USAA insurance and have a few tickets I couldnt get off my record cause of how much I was going over.

Updated photo of the M roady in the wet (with the "new" headlight housings that I put in several months ago). The new housings really freshen the look of the car quite a bit... and I can actually see where I'm going now :rolleyes:

I dig the white, but I have to admit, I would much rather have an E34 M series.

My 1989 Alfa Romeo 75 3.0 V6, have had it since I was 16 (I'm only 20 now though, lol), only 79000 km on the clock, completely original and A1

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...r575/Alfa1.jpg

My 1984 Alfa GTV 2000. Everyday car, the 75 would be more practical but it is in too good of nick to use everyday.

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...Picture004.jpg

Other then those 2 I've owned a 1987 Mitsubishi Pajero Turbo Diesel (Shogun to the USA) and an fsm Niki (fsm stands for "Fabryka Samochodów Małolitrażowych"). The Niki was the younger, uglier version of the Fiat 500. It sported a huge 150cc increase in displacement over the Fiats original 500 (499cc) engine, lol.

I absolutely love alfas, they are getting harder and harder to find in the US though. Here is hoping the brand makes a comeback. I have a 3l v6 alfa lump sitting in my backyard that someday I will rebuild.

E34 M5... Hmm... Certainly a nice car but it's a little too big for my taste--I prefer smaller cars.

I wouldn't mind tracking down an alpine white '01/'02 E36/8 M Coupe some day (just so that I could have a stiffer Z3-based car with an S54B32).

Well, nothing really major.... It needs new tires, I have pads rotors and stainless lines sitting at home waiting to be installed, may as well change the suspension out to something other than the aging stock parts (still haven't decided what to change to yet, though... TC Kline seems to have some nice stuff), still haven't gotten around to changing out the rear subframe bushings, may have a toe/camber kit welded in when I change the subframe bushings (and if I do that, then I may as well get some adjustable camber plates for the front so that I can dial out some of the additional negative camber gained from any sort of drop resulting from a suspension change... there's already a fair amount of negative camber with the stock setup and it chews up tires--I'm not sure that I could afford more negative camber :rolleyes:), and I should change out the VANOS with one from Dr. Vanos at some point this year.

Aside from that, tracking down an HMS rollbar and hard top would be nice... but those are both rather expensive.

*edit* Almost forgot, I still have to replace that A/C belt tensioner that Margaret broke (until then, no A/C for me... not that I'll be needing it for a while).

Haha, sorry they are my babies, lol. Although I might have to sell the 75 soon, It's just not getting driven enough.

They are a fun car to drive, in the US the 75 is known as the "Milano" and I think the 3 litre version is called the "Milano Verde." As far as I know they only made 800 left hand drive Milano Verde's and 3000 right hand drive 75 3.0 litre varients. It's hard to know the exact number but they are rare. The GTV's are a bit more common but a bit more collectable in good condition.

That's my old Pajero, it was a beast. Turbo Diesel was great for towing and not half bad on fuel for such an old 4WD.

Don't have to worry about the alfa rust over here mate. It doesn't snow so they don't have to salt the roads which I hear is a big cause for rust over in the US with these cars. Being on an island we are surronded by salt water but I don't live anywhere near the sea so it's all good.

Alfa pulled out of the US a while back, I think straight after the 164 (not sure) but they are a rare sight over there from what I've been told by USA Alfa enthusiasts.

Thats true, only the 75 is named the Milano. Slight variations in bumpers and trim. Some of the American Milanos came with nice Recaro seats, mine also has Recaros from factory but they are tamer versions, came with Brembo brakes from factory also.

Thanks for the comments guys.
