Yea, i bought it brand new, put 2,000 miles on it , then a the blower, exhaust ,intercooler, cryo nitrious system for the intercooler, fuel pump injectors,new fan all in one big weekend. put 3,000 on after the blower , loved that car, but with a career to look at, and way to many tickets, oh and the 4.20$ 93 octane only really hurt the wallet.ive had at least 16 cars already (am im only 21 ) But i guess i have to take off the 88 toyota, as it sold today, which i hate to see go but,this will allow me to put a lift and tires on the 40 , so i cant really cry. but heres a couple more pics of the mustang and of the dented door after a little tweaking to get it back on.

You guys and yer new(er) cars.Dont anyone drive anything old

I get 25ish mpg in my DD most the time
I pulled it outa the woods near Yosemite in 2000.It had been sitting there since 1978
Its a 2 door 65 Falcon wagon.200 six and three on da tree I only have about $800 in it total.


I bought it to pro street it.But it is all origional other than the paint n shag house carpet and it kinda grew on me.So I left it alone.Its like a little truck when ya fold the back seat down.I have hauled axles in the back before.I hauled two 42" IROKs in the back last weekend And when it needs tires,Pep Boys has sales.4 for $99 I drive it every day now cuz it gets the best milage out of my fleet.And maintenance costs are way low.Just change the oil once or twice a year and yer good to go

The only time its not so fun to drive is in the summer when its 115

Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with the above statement. I've had this car for about 4 or 5 months and one thing I've never been while driving it is bored.

Audi S4 - average about 16mpg with city and highway.

I bought it for the improved mileage over the 80.

I bought my 88 Volvo 740 GL a couple of years back and have been really happy with it. It had 210000 klms when I got it and now has done another 40000 klms .
I bought it off a semi retired university lecturer who owned it from new and it came with a stack of receipts and service books all the way back .
The aircon doesnt work well on the really hot days ,so I take the cruiser .
Im impressed with the brakes ,steering and suspension for its age and it also has all the room I need for my long legs.
The downside is the brittle plastic interior,possibly a by product of the manufacturers efforts to make the car 80% recyclable.

The S4 is great. It should get better than 16 if you can keep your foot out of it!
