I was into football during highschool. I drove 2 n/a 2gs 1 green 95 and 1 wildberry 98. Both had intake and exhaust and I thought they were fast.

When I was younger my dad had a 1g and a black 98 which is identical to my 97. I bought my 97 right after highschool when I could get approved for a loan, I plan on this being my one and only DSM.

There's only other DSM I would buy though, a wildberry 97-98 TSi AWD. No matter what state it was in. I would have it shipped over. Wouldn't even hesitate.
 
I was in to Ford probes, had a bunch of them, aspec to jspec 4 cyl and 6cyl sold my last one, saw my car in the auto trader and the rest is hisyory, funny thing is I sold a fully loaded black with tan leather probe and bought a fully loaded black with tan leather talon LOL
 
2nd Gen Rx7 (suspension, exhaust, short throw, intake, wheels, semi-gloss) it was hottness. then I built a Built 92 Integra LS Vtec, suspension, wheels, semigloss. Man I miss them cars...

Big CI Chevy's. Cost too much to build, never got decent gas mileage, and the chassis handle like crap no matter what you do to improve.

I was into computers, and geeky tech in general. Then I got my first taste of boost at 16. That quickly turned me into a gear head. Later on to support my habit I ended up joining the Army. And I am still at it...

I was stationed at Ft. Sill!
 
I was the same, raced mx from 5th grade all the way until I graduated high school. I rode almost everyday or every other day, was racing all up and down the west coast. Got to the top 5 in novice where I live and then broke my jaw riding and couldn't get back into it after.. I was sponsored by monster/pro circuit/kawasaki of SB and a grip load of other companies. Had a fully built bike build from the ground up by pro circuit, had everything from a fully built motor to suspension etc etc etc.
Nice ride; I never got into 4-strokes at all....hated riding them, actually. If I had to buy a new bike tomorrow it would be something 2-stroke.

None of my bikes had any engine modification aside from FMF reeds and exhaust; I did prefer modified suspension however. I loved whipping modded bikes to the first corner on my stocker!

This pic says it all- a holeshot in the 125B Mod Loretta Lynn Area Qualifier, Spring 2002, at Field Of Dreams in Boswell, PA. I beat 39 modified bikes to the first corner that day on the same bike I rode in the stock class!

The usual asian stuff

i can say the same...just not really the 'automotive' part of it...ha

AE86's.

Never got one.

Now I do.

::super jealous::



Motocross....13 years of it. Competed at least once in every season from 1992 to 2004.

I loved it to death- won tons of trophies and plaques, met a HUGE array of great people (and some assholes), and broke lots of bones (9); but it was seriously all worth it even though I was never good enough to become a top racer. If I could go back to the age when I started, I would do it all over again.



you have got to take me riding when i get up there...you're my hero! LOL
 
I was all into luxary, Chevy Lumina ltz with 19s, touch screen tv ps2 and an loud system. Then started my dsm in an riced out Eclipse rs.:p

I had a few 3rd gen camaros, my favorite 84' 350 5spd z28, with 411 gears and a boat load of bolt ons. I needed money and so all my toys had to go for a few years, when I started looking for a new project I came accross an article where a stock fwd turbo eclipse (91' I think) ran with like 20 other cars of that model year and nearly blew em all out of the water. When matched up to a 350 formula bird with cheater tires it lost by like .10 in the 1/4. Did some more research and deicided a AWD DSM was the way to go, and I also fell hard for the looks of the 92 Laser, mostly because I dont like the eclipse and talon spoilers. spent a few years looking for an original unmolested 4/6 bolt combo and when I found it took it home.
 
I almost fell out of my chair AND pissed myself laughingROFL:DLOL



Awww, come-on, I bet somebody loves ya. We all get old, fat, and happy. I'm a slow, balding stoner. I'm OK with it. My DSMs make me laugh with happiness.



I used to be an air-cooled VW guy. 1700 Lbs. with a tank full of gas. 75 HP never felt so fast. Except maybe in a CRX. Those things (VWs) used to be SO cheap to keep running. Currently, the exchange rates have screwed-up all of that. I still have the car, it's just totally dis-assembeled for a complete restoration. I need to weld it all back together still. Haven't gotten around to it yet. I can buy a whole 1G DSM to keep me going for the price of the paint-job I'm gonna have to put on that Bug.

Pics of said Vw please. My girlfriend has a 69 autostick. Awesome little car, I put an adjustable front beam lowered 3 inches.
 
was into cars. Just different ones I guess? I had a 92 mr2 before my first dsm. before that a Yamaha R6, before that a 00 civic si turbo'd, before that a mazdaspeed protege. Imports have been my life no doubt. Love em, I'll die loving them.

I was into the honda scene until it became the thing to do around my area. Got sick of seeing the typical 4ft high wing and unpainted body kit on them and wanted something off the wall. My buddy had a first gen and i kinda liked it so i bought one and fell into the typical love/hate relationship with it
 
I always had a thing for imports. Ive been into DSMs since I could drive and even before. My first DSM was a green 2ga GSX; 16g and supporting mods, red 1gb GSX- 35r and supporting mods, black 2gb GSX- 20g supporting mods, blue 1gb- 18g supporting mods with e85, and now white 2gb GSX- hx40 with supporting mods with e85.
I love my current 2g the best, even though my black one looked cooler, (so far).
Ive had cars in between them though 96 Honda Accord, 05 GTO, 04 F150, and now my current daily is 02 WRX Wagon. Ive loved cars since I was a little kid, and still do to this day. I hope I always do. :)

I do miss my GTO though, :(
 
i owned 20 different cars in the year of 08-09.they were all swaped hondas exept for 3 which were an rx7,bmw,300zx...after going 15.5s all the time in a highly built ls swaped crx i got tired of going so slow and got a fwd laser i went 14.9 stock everything nothing done at all..i fell in love the first day i got it... now thats my life..they may break every other week but the joy of putting it back together and learning from a very helpful community like this site its something great...... good highway mpg..cold a/c..and still can walk most fully built vtec hondas in my town
 
LOL well cars i started out with mustangs, still have a 94 Gt droptop with a 347 stroker/nitrous combo. Had a few dsm's. Did the 4x4 off road thing with a couple different Trackers and Jeeps. Did the ATV thing and just sold my 400ex. My other super expensive hobby is pistol shooting....which i have expensive taste LOL.

When not pricing out parts for my rebuild, I play a little guitar. I have a 1958 Epiphone Explorer in satin black with an EMG81 / EMG85 pick-up set. I play through a B-52 AT112 Tube Amp and a C9 Landmine distortion pedal. I play a bit of metal although I've really been into the blues lately :hellyeah:
 
I've always been a fan of silly, obscure American cars. My favorite was probably my 1983 Daytona Pace car Trans Am. Came from the factory with a 305 and 5-speed (we installed a warmed over 350) definatly an awesome car.

^W124 Mercs are some of my favorites, before my 2G I had a 300E with a turbo kit (take the exhaust mani from a TD model and you can bolt on a T3 and have a turbo gasoline w124) I'm gonna do that to this one eventually :p
 
i was into honda's 90 hatch with a dohc swap got rid of it quick never again will i own a honda. got lucky and found a 99 gsx with 60,000 miles on it at a dealership still paying it off:pray:
