    Craigslist Find...

    Such a shame. My first car was a 93 Caprice, I had a red and later silver one. No LT1 though. These cars are awesome when left looking normal, and sound great with exhaust.

    Owning multiple cars/toys

    I have a 66 weekend/show drivers and a 99 Trans am for DD/rainy days, but mostly commute on the motorcycle now. It's a bit of a headache maintenance wise, especially since I can only do basic repairs myself. Worth it though, but I cannot fathom getting another car until I make enough money...

    How far would you drive to save $$$$$?

    I drove 2 hrs (at 11pm in college on a weeknight) to get my trans am because it was exactly what I wanted at a price I could actually afford. I drove 9 hrs ea way in one day, no hotel to get my 09 V star 950 motorcycle from Atlanta to south of Orlando, also because it was exactly what I wanted...

    Newbie wanting to learn more about my 04 mach 1

    Headers! It will sound meaner too. I recommend good tires too, no point in having power if you just spin.

    LS1 Puppy kicking a 328i

    I have a 6 speed 99 Trans Am with minor bolt ons, dynoed 316rwhp. Full exhaust, 4.10s and a tune on Nitto 555s. Driver + skinny passenger. Friend had a stock 07 328i sedan, no passengers. We both knew an LS1 vs his 240hp bimmer would be a slaughter, but had never run our cars. It was...

    Career Direction?

    I'm 23 and just graduated from college this past summer with a bachelors in business management. I did an internship with the largest rental car company, excelled, and now work there full time. Problem is, I don't genuinely enjoy what I do. The career path is laid out, yet very undesirable to...

    When cars just keep giving you the finger

    What do you guys do when your cars/projects just have a downward spiraling domino effect? There needs to be a car support club or something, haha. My Mark VIII has no fuel pressure. Replace fuel pump, pressure restored, then gone again. Starting issues. No time to fix. Take to shop, shop...

    Deciding you need a "mature" car?

    I'm 22, and recently bought my dream muscle car since I was a kid, 99 trans am. I'm finishing up college this summer, and already working part time in the position I will be going once I graduate. I just saw a commercial for a Lexus GS and it was marketed as "more horsepower than German...

    The single craziest thing you've seen driving?

    What was the craziest thing you've ever seen on the road? Someone nail a parked cop car? A Civic pull on a Ferrari? Someone weaving in highway traffic going 140+? Let's here those WTF stories! For me..it would be when someone nailed the corolla behind me when I was in my '66, behind a public...

    When birds take a dump all over your clean car

    So here I am today, taking the '66 out for the once a week journey to work. The snow is pretty much all melted, fresh wash and wax. I go outside to check on something a few hrs ago, and there are little bird shits literally over the entire car. I'm talking every 6 inches. Front, rear...

    Most unexpected race lost?

    I've seen a couple insane sleepers lately, which got me thinking. What's the biggest defeat you've suffered in your car when you thought it would be a puppy kicking? Old civic beat your gt? Stock looking LS1 beat your GT500?
