Sports Cars

I like the look of a jeep too, but not those fancy modern ones that you could take your grandma to church in. To live the full military-macho dream, a jeep must be free of fancy extras and be as uncomfortable as possible:-

^ On the streets here it's still possible to see a vehicle like this being driven around and on two occasions I was lucky enough to be given a ride in one. The door feels like you're closing a garden gate and the interiors are austere; the dash is a flat piece of metal with about one switch and an old circular speedometer. A student of mine had one, which had a couple of drainholes in the floor and no roof. His tip: when it rains you must keep moving - you only get wet when you stop.

Volkswagen Thing's (Type 181) were all over the place when I was a kid. I didn't see a whole lot of those when I was in Germany though.

Hubby and I have figured, why not, and am now purchasing a Kia Stinger 3.3 GT Because, honestly..why not? I figure, the environment is going to pot anyways and, it is a fun car. But because there is a big tax on the amount of CO2 your car produces here, a new Kia Stinger will cost alot more then one produced the same year but earlier so we are looking at both new and used. But it is such a nice car and you can get it with a red nappa leather interior. For the price, totally worth it. And it has sport mode

(this is just an example)

Maybe if you play this song a few times in your car, it will seem like you are going faster

We got our Stinger GT2 in atomic blue today. Riding in it makes me feel like I am in GTA5 but from the good part of town

1970 Dodge Challenger 426 (street factory) Hemi RT should be nice.

A New Sub-26-Hour Cannonball Record Has Allegedly Been Set

lol

I didn't even realize people actually still did this. I know there were reports of times and arrests back when Burt and Dom made the movie, but holy what the ****.
