    Auto Enthusiasts?

    Just wondering if there are any other auto enthusiasts on this forum?

    I have an automotive engineering degree, and love spending time in the garage wrenching on my vehicle(s).

    My current ride:

    A 2007 Subaru WRX Limited
    Mods: Carbon Fibre hood, Projector headlights, Mishimoto aluminum racing radiator with red silicone hoses, 18x9 Rota G-Force wheels, and Greddy catback exhaust.

    Other vehicles I have owned: a 1980 Chevrolet C10 pickup truck with a 350 small block and turbo 350 transmission with a B&M shift plate(had a lot of work done to it but couldn't afford the fuel bill for it anymore)

    I currently also have a 1969 Chrysler New Yorker project car that was my grandfather's. He bought it new and it is still all original.

    Just wondering if anyone else likes their vehicles, 2 and 4 wheels included.

    I'm a bit of a auto enthusiast.

    My grandfather has an old 1933 Ford Model A that we completely rebuilt/restored. It's got a rumble seat and everything.

    It was a multigenerational project was a ton of fun. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the engine, or interior but we kept everything as stock as possible.













    I'm currently driving a 2011 Mercedes C300 sports sedan and really like it, though I think I'll be going with a BMW next time around. The new 4 series Coupe looks amazing.

    Can't beat the all wheel drive of a Subaru, especially in the snow.

    That's a really great looking Model A. Can't beat the memories made when doing a multi-generational resto like that either.

    I just got this 2010 F150 Platinum 4x4 with only 3200 miles. An old man traded it in and it was garage kept. I put my Moto Metal wheels wrapped with 33x12.50 :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: Cepek FC-II, MBRP stainless turndown exhaust, Airaide cool air intake, and a Edge CS programmer.

    With the mods it gets better mileage than the 07 F150 Lariat I traded. Running about 15 city and 17-18 highway, if I'm good.

    I also have an 07 Victory Tour with aftermarket fairing with 4 speaker stereo, stage one kit, pipes, S&S intake, and enough chrome to keep you busy for a weekend.



    WOW, THE NAME BRAND OF MY TIRES GOT CENSORED. That's funny!
