the FoRS is meh ... from what i have heard that the ST is better ... 

but you dont need an AWD car to go offroading .. just proper tires and a locked diff 

you can also make the WRX quite fast ...  the new engine is quite nice ... much better than the old EJ20 or EJ25(this they still use for the WRX STi if im correct)

From what i've read and seen most people love it, albeit it a few teething issues in the early gen wiper motors and suspension. Also forgot to mention a lot of the camping i do is out on soft sand at a beach north of me which pretty much requires awd to guarantee you don't get stuck lol, and not having to always take a truck that gets 15mpg on a 300mi round trip would be nice lol. But I moved the bars a little with that, and its not a deal breaker at all, just something that would be a definite bonus.

'98 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE 3.3L v6 Currently in a state of disrepair, needs a whole new body, needs a trans rebuild (engine wouldn't hurt either), needs new brake lines, new CV axles, a tire just fell off moving it the other day, needs new suspension system, need to fix up the interior a bit, and need to siphon out the remaining gas (and probably some other stuff I forgot). Has just under 200k on it. It was my first car and honestly, I kinda just fell in love with it. So that's my project, is to fix it up, no matter the cost.

I honestly wanna get a late 90s Grand Voyager and just fix that fucker up as a road trip car.

2003 Bucik LeSabre has about 80,000 miles and the ride is buttery 

LeSabre gang gang

 

issa clunker by most people's standards but it's still reliable as hell, and it gets baller mileage so can't complain about that either.

2017 f150 Special edition 23k miles

2016 bmw 328i 9k miles

 

Restoring a 1966 mustang v8 auto (set the odometer to always show 1966)

My car is a 2004 Toyota Corolla with a 5 speed manual transmission. It only has 140hp, but it's surprisingly zippy on the streets; i really want to put a turbo in it, but it seems like getting a supercharger might be less expensive and easier to install.

They're fun as fuck. Just make sure you get one with the bigger engine, the 3.3 is small and bogs down a lot. Even still though, it's an underappreciated vehicle.

[orbitalbuzzsaw]

I start driving next year and it'll either be a 2012 Subaru Impreza (base model af, 64k miles) from my dad, or a '99 BMW 540i (29k miles).

Reply with what car you drive, and how many miles it has, I'm curious.

I have a 2017 Chevrolet Suburban Premier with a 5.3 litre V8 that produces 355 HP.

 

Don't know how many miles it has because I don't speak American.

2017 Chevrolet SS (aka, Holden Commodore), 14.5k miles. High smiles per mile, low miles per gallon.

Holy shit, my mom's got an SS (it's a red one with the auto) and she uses that thing as her daily driver. It's comfy as fuck, too (well, for what it is; the Charger feels cramped by comparison).

Fuck GM for closing the Australia plant.

[Zusafek]

My daily driver is my semi. 2017 Freightliner Cascadia with 271205 miles on it now. 

 

But for my cars at home:

Wife's car is 2019 Honda HRV with 500 miles on it now. 

 

Mine: 1963 Corvette undergoing full restoration. 

2019 Can Am Ryker 900 just ordered and waiting to take delivery. 

2000 BMW R1100R that has been in storage for the past 3 years now. Selling it soon most likely

1986 Saab 900 SPG. All original with just over 400000 miles on it. Needs to get some work done to it now though.

Sure but even Rural Southwestern Ontario (As in, you go outside of town, or little towns between the major cities, etc), you're still looking at $250K+. You really have to go all the way west to the Windsor-Essex area to find any sort of major price drops, or go North. The more North, the cheaper.

 

Anyway - I wish I could get a decent house at $150K

[Atmos]

daily a 2000 acura tl @ 127k miles, also a 2011 f150 super crew with the 5.0 v8 @ 135k miles, depending on what needs to be done.

Used to also daily a 999r @ 3k miles only a couple years ago, but after a particularly bad series of encounters sold it for one of my current project cars.

Got a couple project cars as well as mentioned, though im looking to sell one and my acura for a new better daily/project car combined.

That clearance though lol

funny enough, this gave me more anxiety than the friggen tree on your car lmao

Can't tell you how many times i've scrapped my front diffusers and splitters on parking spacers.

2010 Mazda 3 2.0 5 speed with corksport exhaust. 

 

1998 Dodge Durango 5.2 with gibson headers and muffler. 

 

And a 2001 Dodge Dakota with the 4.7 that needs a motor but is likely going to the crusher because 4.7s are boat anchors. 

[handymanshandle]

None right now really, but my mom has a 2007 Trailblazer LS.

I kinda want a newer Ford Fusion or a Kia Soul or a Focus Titanium

[FuzzyYellow]

New record! Road tripped the accord down to Arizona for spring break. Nice break from MN salt.

 

[Boarder]

I have a 2003 Ford Taurus SES I bought from a lot in 2008. It had 83126 miles on the clock. 11 years later it now have 100596 miles on the clock.

 

Yeah, I don't drive much.

I don't. The tree pushed it forward.

 

What saved the car was the wing. It is a solid piece of aluminum. The top of the trunk was full of dents.

Oh huh, didnt have a parking on then i assume. Damn man, must have sucked to pay the insurance premium. 

Also another reason wings kick ass

Converted a bike to electric.

 

I got permission from my local police to unlock it to do 80km/h as long as I'm not going past the posted limit and not go on highways (normally electric bikes are limited to 32km/h by law in Canada)
