Our Cars (dream or actual)

[Chris]

Oh, that's tempting…

Haven't been to Flagstaff since '03, but it's something we have to do.  Our kids need to see the Grand Canyon, but I can't trust them not to go running off the side quite yet.  It's not as steep as the walls of Canyon de Chelly, but still not something I want them going down.

[Licorice Noose]

I would pick it up and turn you around at a stop light.

That might be helpful- it doesn't have a reverse gear, after all.

It's a beast. 100mpg. Parking is too easy

This is my favourite car at present.

It's the VW XL1, and it'll be the most fuel efficient car when it turns up later this year. Price to be confirmed.

Here is my actual car.  Spice Orange Mini Cooper S.  The sole motivator when looking at cars was that it had to fit in my side of the garage with my motorcycle.  I was sick of scraping windows in the winter and water stains in the summer and leaving the MC in the driveway was just not happening.  So this is my cold weather car.  Kicks ass in the snow and is all around a fun car to drive.  This pic is near my family's cabin at Sundance.

Those colors… You're trying to get me to take back what I said about Utah, aren't you, sh? I do like Sundance.

[Giles]

That is a pretty picture…

[injunjack]

Yup, nice S. Turbo or supercharged?

[Graeme]

Giles, look away now…

0-60 in less than six seconds, and is feckin' unstoppable.

[summ3rhays]

Thanks for the nice words.  The S stands for Turbo???  I believe on the previous gen it was Supercharged which makes more sense.  One these days seanocono I'll convince you.  Haha.  We try to keep it a secret that it's not all crazy zealots so that we can have the mountains and red rock to ourselves.

Before…  STI
After...  FJ
Sold the STI to get the FJ...  I miss the STI, and am selling the FJ.

The only pic i have that has the STI in it.  My wife and her friends

The FJ with vintage shred sleds.

Dood, I had an all white Trail Team just like that. I super charged it, which seemed to give it the engine it was designed to have. I love the way the FJ looks, love driving it off road, but fecking hate driving it around town. Put my wife in the cement gray one for a couple of hours, and she decided on a Tundra. I love little chicks in big ass trucks.
