'folks here have taste, I approve :)

 

1983 Datsun Skyline DR-30 "iron mask" It's in fairly nice condition. I mostly use it for city driving, but I always like to have a car that can, at a pinch, do some light trackday duty aswell.

 

It's hardly the most famous or powerful car in the world, but the Skyline is undeniably a classic. With a history going back to just after WW-2, the Skyline has been, for many many years, one of Japan's great model lineages. With a small but gutsy engine, good handling, and the engineering and quality the Japanese makes are renowned for, it's a good car indeed, especialy those from about 1985 through till 1996, which had the option of a strong turbo engine, and four wheel steer.

 

I'd attach an image but for some reason photobucket has started refusing to accept my accout details, and whenever I try to create a new account, the Captcha comes up in one or more language I don't have the keyboard for, usualy Arabic or Russian, which is really a bit stupid. So a Wiki link must suffice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:KDR30_Skyline_coupe_1983_facelift.jpg

I'm driving a 2010 Kia Soul. I have an extremely low opinion of the place that we bought it from (if you live in the Knoxville, Tennessee area and was thinking about getting one of these, write to me first so you don't get ripped off) but so far it's been a very good car. It's a very smooth, comfortable ride and handles easily. And it's black! If the lighting is just right, it looks purple. I had another car that did that too so I think that's why I always liked black vehicles. Anyway, yeah, it's a good car.

96 Dodge 3/4 ton pickup. Burns gas like there is no tomorrow, with a bit of oil consumption thrown in for good measure. 176,000 miles on it, still pretty much all original. Rusty, as I live in Michigan, where winter road salt takes its toll. Four wheel drive, so it will go just about anywhere, and is nice when the roads are crappy. Will haul/tow anything I need it to. And then some. Rides like a truck..... all the amenities. Cruise, Tilt wheel, A/C, power locks/windows/mirrors, and old as it is, everything still works. (A/C is sometimes spotty, need to fix my slow refrigerant leak) Seats six comfortably, drives down the road like it was brand new. Looks like crap, runs/drives/tows/hauls better than some of the new ones.
