What Do You Drive???

Hey fellow Canucks.....its that time of year again when we dust off our toys and get ready for summer. I'd love to see what my fellow skyscraperpage dudes and dudette are riding in these days. Here's a few pics of my new rocket I picked up last week.

Cool ride.

I drive a 2003 Chrysler Sebring. Surprisingly kicky fast on the acceleration, and jumpy too. Great handling and not too bad on gas either.

Oh, and pics will be coming soon.

Here's my baby! 2005 Acura RSX Type S. 210 Ponies under the hood and a red-line that starts at 8200 RPM's. 6 speed manual transmission and leather interior. I changed the factory radio and had an Alpine installed. Not to long ago i realized that I had a sub woofer in there somewhere...that was a nice discovery!hehehe!

The only difference with the picture is that mine is copper instead of red.

nice car trueviking! How do you like the 9000 RPM Redline!? How does it handle? Is the acceleration any good? with 240 ponies, i would assume yes!

This is what I had been driving for years until I sold it last week.



I'm currently shopping for a new car and riding the bus to work.

Bio-powered! RAWR!!!



Runs on beer and pizza.

EDIT: I also have one of those contraptions above (which is really just an extension of my biped movement system) but it is mostly for recreational usage.

In addition, I regularly use an electronic moving platform system to help with the long-distance transfer of my biped movement system

This is a picture of the type of car I last owned. I bought a toronado 10 years ago. and I swear after I got rid of it I wouldn't buy another car again. But I'm thinking now I might get a new car.. G35 looks cool.

'95 Pontiac Grand Prix, and before that, an '87 Toyota Tercel. The Tercel was awesome, we called it "The Pisser". I don't give a shit what I drive, as long as it goes.

My dad had a G35, up until he traded it in last year. It's a good car and it looks good too! you shouldn't regret it!

the handling is unbelievable....the suspension is so stiff that if i run over a penny, i can tell if it is heads or tails.

the off the line speed claims to be under 6 seconds to 100k, but i am not so sure about that....acceleration while moving is serious though.....i can slide around traffic with just a tap of the accelerator....the gear shift is amazingly fluid.

rpms are really high on the highway which is really my only complaint...it gets decent gas mileage though.....vtec is really cool when it kicks in at 6500 or so....it becomes a different car above that.

i bought new high end tires last summer....it made a huge difference.

i never get tired of the push button start.

Oh, yeah... I walk to work. Our current car is our workhorse.

^Yeah TV? Well, my Honda has more power...255hp to be exact...and it sits 8!

Okay, so I'm jealous, and my 06 Odyssey is nothing really to brag about...especially given I'm a car fanatic. The S2000 is a dream machine. I've had a Civic with the B16A, so I know about the awesome, high-revving Honda engines (in the hot RSX Type-S too!).

I sold my WRX to get it - which hurts the most. One day I'll get my sports car again.
