Do we have to own the car or just be able to sneek into the dealership at night and take a picture?

[archive_Caligula]

Can I put a fork in the tire if I don't like the guy? And if I really don't like him can I shove the spoon up his ass?

Oh yeah and taking pic's in a commerical parking lot is unacceptable(for you valet drivers).

Oh yeah the when taking a pic of the interior you must be inside the the vehicle with the keys in the ignition.

I've bought three cars in the past 13 months and have yet to sell any of them. Is there something wrong with me?

Anyone looking to buy a black 2003 Mazda 6, 160-hp 4-cylinder engine? It has a little over 9,000 miles on it. It has a tape player and a one disc CD player and a really bad speaker system.

The only thing that's not stock is the rims and tires which I replaced. They cost 2 grand 6 months ago.

It also paid extra for a 100,000 mile extended warranty. I paid a little over $23,000 just for the car. It does not have ABS.

When I drive it everyone and their mother wants to race me. http://anabolicfitness.infopop.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

If you looking to upgrade from a tricked out civic, this may be the very car for you. http://www.anabolicfitness.net/smileys/lol2[1].gif

This what I bought stock.
MAZDA6 i 4-Spd Auto
160-hp 2.3L DOHC 16-valve I4-cylinder
ONYX BLACK
BLACK Leather
SPORT PACKAGE W/ SPOILER

umm... where are the forks and spoons?

[VOX - DEI]

The mazda I'm selling, so I didn't put a fork or a spoon in it.

The BMW does have forks and spoons, the last pic does not though. The interior pic is comming.

[VOX - DEI]

How does everyone like active steering?

If you don't know what I'm talking about, go to your local BMW dealer and test drive a new 5 series, then report back, also test drive an M3 for good measure.

I have a 2001 C5 and one of those new Supercharged Cobra’s. (2003) If you think either one is cool, then I‘ll play along. Somehow I doubt it though. http://anabolicfitness.infopop.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

Personally, I think the Cobra is cool because I think it’s the only American muscle car ever made that came from the factory with a blower. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that’s right. I know they made a blown truck (Ford Lightening) and of course the turbo-charged V6 Grand Nationals and I believe Mercedes makes a supercharged V8. Anyway, mine’s a black convertible and that’s why I bought it. Owning a car with a blower and full factory warranty is pretty cool.

http://www.danasoft.com/sig/benevolentarchist.jpg

[VOX - DEI]

Post a pic Stud Diesel, I have no idea what that looks like. Just email it to Ulter.

The coolness factor is voted on by members, not me, I just entered a car to be judged.

A Roman Chariot with 12 white horses.

And a 2003 745i with 22inch Lowenhart spinners (BLING!!!) so when me a Bjaarki come rollin through da hood no hoochie or grad student is safe.

I would post a pic but I have my winter tires on

[Stud Diesel]

This is my first entry. This is a professionally “photoshoped” image created by an artist by the name of Kevin Buckarood. His website used to be kevcarart.com, but I just checked it and it looks like he no longer owns the domain. Anyway, I think he did a pretty cool job. I just sent him my favorite shot and he worked his magic. I also have a full sized poster of this image on the wall in my office.

So this car has been heavily modified. Is has a Halltech Systems TRIC CAI with red anodized aluminum MAF ends, Corsa Indy cat-back system, C/R Motorsports crossover pipe, Pro Torque 2400 torque converter, TransGo Performance shift kit, Z51 suspension upgrade, Hypertech Power Programmer, Nitrous Oxide Systems LS1 "Dry" System jetted for 75 hp. with all the bells and whistles, e.g. a fuel pressure safety switch, remote controlled bottle opener, purge valve, wide open throttle switch and an MSD RPM activated window switch. I have the nitrous bottle hidden inside a Nike gym bag in the back. (I got that idea from a guy over at CorvetteForum.com) It’s also been lowered 1" and I put Bilstein Sport shock absorbers to accommodate the lowered ride. My best naturally aspirated ¼ ET thus far is 12.83 @ 108.61 and my best Nitrous Oxide assisted ¼ ET thus far is 12.22 @ 113.92. That’s pretty lame for the N2O run, but this is due to the fact that I’ve never bought drag radials so traction is a serious problem with nitrous.

[Stud Diesel]

This is my second entry. I just took these this morning and damn am I a terrible photographer. http://anabolicfitness.infopop.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_redface.gif Anyway, this is my 2003 SVT Cobra and I have not modified this car at all other than changing the oil over to synthetic. I use Amsoil 0W-30.

This is the first Ford that I have ever owned. The 2003 SVT Cobra comes with a 112 c.i. Eaton (roots style) supercharger, intercooler, intercooler reservoir, slightly different heads and cams, 8.5:1 compression, forged pistons and Manley H-beam rods, an Iron block, Tremec T-56 transmission, 3.55:1 rear gears, and stronger half-shafts.

On average, 2003 Cobra’s are dynoing between 350 and 370 stock at the rear wheels using SAE correction. The lowest stock dyno I have seen thus far is in the 340’s and the highest is in the 390’s.

The most common bolt-ons are CAI, Exhaust, Pulley, Chip, Headers. These mods are typically enough to get the Cobra to around 460 RWHP and 500 RWTQ, and should be capable of propelling a good driver to low 11’s.

I have not raced this car yet… well not at the track. http://anabolicfitness.infopop.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

There has to be more than couple hundred 2003 Ford SVT Cobras and I can't make out your Lic. plates.

I like the cobra a lot. The vetts I've never liked much.

No need for spoon and forks anymore, just posts some pics for god sakes.

If anyone posts $120,000 mercedes or 911 turbos you will be shot on sight. There a dime a dozen around these parts. And any cheaper versions are not permitted as well, even though mercedes make the best looking car on the planet at this time, I can't go one day without seeing an SL600. The SL600 still drives like shit for it's price tag.

[This message was edited by VOX - DEI on 02-20-2004 at 06:49 PM.]

[Stud Diesel]

Yeah I know, I was just kidding although that is my mug behind the wheel of the Vette. And although the tag is visible on the Vette, that tag is dead since I now have vanity plates for it.

BTW what do you think of the new RX8? My partner just bought one. He really likes it, but Mazda is having some issues with flooding. Twice he’s had to have it towed to the dealer due to a no start.

http://www.danasoft.com/sig/benevolentarchist.jpg

[VOX - DEI]

I had trouble test driving it, I'm a little too big to fit in it comfortably. It drives great though! It's a very beautiful car.

I've never had any problems with the Mazda6, other than the horrible factory speakers.

No, I used to in '90. 928s4 bought it new, drove my insurance rates threw the roof (I outran a CHP 5.0 Mustang for 2 counties, I swear I didn't know he was back there) and sold it within 2 years. It was the only non covertible I have ever owned that long.
I owned a Lotus and a Testerosa too. Not at the same time of course. Either of which would be much more exciting than the car I have now, and will post tomorrow. http://anabolicfitness.infopop.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

This OT board has turned into the "good old days" board for me. LOL!!!!!

[VOX - DEI]

Testerosa, holy shit, Ulter the cocaine kingpin of the Midwest!

How did you drive a convertible in Chicago?

I'm trying to guess the car you might own. Hmmmm

I'm going to have to with a viper.

[archive_Ulter]

I lived in San Diego when I had the Test and the 928s4. I told you I used to live on Mt Helix in Spring Valley. No, no Viper. I have a son and need a back seat now. So now you have the same challenge I did. Quiz: You need a back seat, horsepower, a convertible. There is only one answer.
But I always had a convertible even when I could only put the top down 3 months of the year in Chicago.

[VOX - DEI]

5 seater convertible....bently perhaps

I know the M3 has a big back seat when canopy is up.

Ulter, you seriously need to test drive the new 5, the steering is unlike any other car on the road.

The car literally drives it self and the idrive is ingenious(for the driver, not the passenger, drivers should not be left handed), short of speech based controls.

I knew you had an M3!

How do you like the fat people seats? Opps, what kind of seats are those? I don't recall seeing them before?

That's the exact same car I would have bought if I had the money except I would prefer the quieter version. How much is ins.?

I can see the SMG; you usually drive it in auto, correct? I'm always eating in my cars, and on this board, why do you think I'm always on it; I'm still chewing my steak.

[archive_Ulter]

The seats are standard. Yes I have the SMG and NEVER drive it auto. I love Sport 6 (S6) with the DSC shut off. The SMG took me nearly 2 weeks to learn because you downshift by flicking the lever up. When you're used to being in 5th and downshifting down and left to 2nd for passing in a hurry, doing that backwards takes some getting used to. But now I can't imagine not having it. It's a perfect (clutchless) shift everytime, and I can take all the way just past 8 grand before pulling down the lever.
Miami-Orlando 235 miles 2hr 17min
Insurance is $3000

[VOX - DEI]

Ins. $3000/year?

Turning off the DSC on that car is very dangerous, unless you've driven sport cars all your life.

OOPS!! Sorry, it's $2000 and that's for two cars. See once you get married you have little to do with your money anymore and you simply don't know these answers.

In 1991 my insurance was $10,000/yr when I sold the 928s4. But that was because of the ticket from the CHP for going 100 over the posted limit. So I deserved it.

Ulter, if you ever get a chance to drive a 5 series with active steering tell me what you think since you've driven more sports cars than I could ever dream of.

[Stud Diesel]

Yeah, that’s awesome that you owned a Testarossa, Ulter. And when you think of the Testarossa, what other Italian supercar from that era comes to mind?

A good friend of mine Salvatore, owner and proprietor of Salvatore’s Italian Restaurant (shameless plug) in Ocean City Maryland owns a red Lamborghini Countach. We used to go cruising around in that thing. Talk about a car that when you drive down the road, cops do u-turns to follow your ass! You can not go anywhere in that car without a police escort. I’m sure it was the same for you with the Testarossa. The amount of attention that those cars attract (both good and bad) is just mind boggling.

http://www.danasoft.com/sig/benevolentarchist.jpg

[archive_Ulter]

At the time and place (San Diego) that car wasn't nearly as special as it would have been in Chicago. Not the it didn't go in the #1 spot at the front door of any club I went to, unless someone beat me to it. But the cops didn't bother me much. For a very short time I had a '53 vette (one of 300 made) that got more looks at Pacific Beach than the Ferrari did.
It looked like this. I didn't really want it but a guy owed me money and it was all he had. I took it until he paid me a few months later. He actually cried about it so I gave it back because the car didn't mean that much to me. This is so funny remembering all this crap in my stupid life. http://anabolicfitness.infopop.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
