What Car Do You Own?

[Trigger5521]

This is my 2007 Billet Silver MDX Elite, mods include.
All interior lights LED.
FOGS replaced with HID.
Color matched front and rear bumper inserts.
19' 20th Anniversary chrome rims.
Tint, body side molding, sport running boards.

She is alot of fun to drive, amazing handling with summer tires on.

I'm a huge fan of the Cherokee, my old man used to have a Cherokee sport also, it was our first American car. I loved it, straight 6, 4.0 litre didn't muck around. Guzzled fuel though.

One of the greatest vehicles ever built, imho. Mine have all been I6 models. Actually, I'm not sure I've ever seen a 4cyl. model. I know they were made...maybe not in the States though.

We had diesel Cherokee in Australia, not sure how good they were though...

Post of a pic of dad's new vehicle.


2008 Ford Ranger XLT. 3.0 litre Turbo Diesel, 380nm @ 1800rpm, has plenty of go for a vehicle of its weight and size.

Man the Ranger overseas is so much better then what we get over here. Its a nice truck over here, but junk compared to those.

[trance565]

in the states, we call it an explorer sport trac, no diesel option

Really? Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that our Rangers are actually Mazda BT-50's rebadged... Ford Australia and Mazda have a joint venture thing going over here like that. Dad used to own a Mazda E2000 van which was identical to the Ford variant, same engine, same chassis, etc... Only thing that was different was the interior and slightly different bumpers.

The ranger has the same chassis, engine, but a different body, the Mazda looks more round in the front and back, makes it look too soft imo. I like the squareness of the ranger, reminds me of how 4WD's used to look when they actually could go off road, lol. Not like now with the likes of BWM, Porsche, VW & Mercedes making their own variants that can't even clear a pot hole without bending a wheel

Ah really? I would assume that the American variant would also be a bigger truck?

[trance565]

nah, we have pretty much that exact truck, it's based on the explorer platform i guess, they pretty much just chopped the trunk area off and put a bed on instead.

ranger is the little guy
sport trac is the ... guy who cant decide what it wants to be
and then we have our f150-650's

Yeah now that I look at it. It does just look like the sport trac.

right, so the ranger in the states in smaller then the Aussie Ranger, which is more like your explorer sport track, is that correct?

There are a few new F250's getting about here, I've never seen such a large ute, absolute beast.

Yeah, the Ranger in the US hasnt had a major redesign and has been facelifted since '93. We will share the new 2012 Ranger with you when it comes out.

[nipper575]

Ranger Wildtrak does looks nice.

[Darxide]

Is that a RHD Ranger?
Looks like UK plates too. Wonder if it will be sold here?

I wish Ford would bring more US vehicles here. I would soo love a Mustang, but don't fancy driving a lefty on UK roads, and the aftermarket conversion costs a fortune...

[nipper575]

Well technically that ranger is an Aussie ranger, which is on the same running gear as a BT-50, which are RHD. Maybe instead of me calling it an Australian Ranger, I should say "the ranger we get in Australia" as it seems it is built in Thailand.

Based on the Mazda BT-50 series in international markets

Yeah, get me one with a real bed though....

That model Ranger is available today in the EU, soon in Australia, and 2011 (as a 2012) in the US.

Here's my ride

2002 BMW 530i

[gallardo]

Awesome car! Much better than the new 5 series.

no it's not

[hawkeyefan]

no it's not

+1. The E60 is a much better car all around, but I do really like the styling of the E39. There's something going on with the roof line where it meets the trunk on the E60s that doesn't do it for me. The rest of the car looks better.

Which is weird, as I think the E90 is the best looking of the 3 series. Obviously, just a matter of individual taste.

nice car, Luis.

I love the E60's... but I can't afford one... lol... my 530 need a bigger engine and a manual gearbox though... although the steptronic is quite fun.

the E92 M3 is a SICK looking car... but I still like the E46's since you can find them for less than 20K

[SCAVENGER1]

my favorite ride is my 69 Oldsmobile Cutlass S with a 355 Olds with a bunch of stuff done to it. and a few other things done to it as well.



1st started out going to car shows and then got into drag racing which so far my best is 13.41 seconds @ 99.98mph in the 1/4 mile. not to bad for a 3998lbs car though which is still kind of stock lol.

Nice car. My girlfriends dad has a olds wagon that he is redoing. So far it looks killer I just cant remember what engine he is putting in it.

Go with a E39 M5 Decent ones go for around $20k in the USA, which is quite affordable. Maintenance might be bad, but not much worse than your current one!

[breakfromyou]

I just picked up a 2009 Ford Focus SES...black with 17" wheels, tinted windows, heated mirrors, that ford sync thing....its alright. really slow though.

Engine purrs like a kitten too, and the bloomin' tailgate still works!
