Okey Dokey Lokey! (as Pinkie Pie says)

I have successfully taken new and updated pictures of my car today! It only took me a couple months, but hey... I wanted to take pictures of my car by the water, even though you cant really see the water in this picture...



This picture is actually the bay, not the Atlantic Ocean. This picture was taken in a place that if you literally turn around, the actual ocean is right there. Its just blocked by stuff like houses and dunes. I cant get my car on that beach, or id get in some serious trouble, so the bay is good enough! haha!

What is funny is that the only difference in the older pictures to now is the fog lights, otherwise, my car looks exactly the same!

So this is a 1998 Nissan Sentra. It was bought that year and the original owners put around 65,000 miles on it. At the end of 2001, a then-80 year old woman bought it and owned it for the next ten(ish) years. During that time, she only put approximately 400 miles on it. All in all, the car has about 65,500 miles on it.

The original owners decided to put brand new tires on it a little bit before they sold it, so the tires only have about 2,000 miles on them.

No one has ever smoked in the car, and it did a lot of time chillin' and preserving in the garage for quite a while. That means the interior is like brand new (minus a few little stains), it still has that new car smell to it, and the paint still has the clear on it. The paint does have some scratches, and the body does have a few dents, but that's not much of a concern. Reliability before beauty.

Even though it did a lot of sitting, the car and everything in it is still running perfectly. The acceleration and brakes are good (although I wish the breaks grabbed a little quicker, but I think my dad can tighten that?), it's fantastic on gas (and has a huge gas tank; like 15 gallons or something like that?). It doesn't swerve all over the road as you're driving it and it's a smooth ride. It's a little hard to turn, but it might just need some power steering fluid.

My only real complaint is that the trunk was full of water where the spare tire is kept. That lead to some slight rusting in the trunk. We think it was just caused by a rubber/weather strip that needs to be replaced. But we cleaned it out, and we're keeping an eye on it the next time it rains.

Oh, and it's my first car. :3 We just bought it today!

And a big thank you to Psykeout for helping me get this picture link! (This actually is the car; my internet wouldn't cooperate to upload any pictures anywhere. X3)

The car I really want to get and fix up is a 1969 Chevy Camaro SS. I already have plans to stick a 572 in it and update the interior. As for what I get drive, I have access to my dad's 1981 Corvette, my mom's 1992 BMW 525i, and the 1989 Chevy Silverado 2500.

You can't tell, but I'm totally drooling right now.

Now see this is where being a gearhead is painful see someone like me has many options but it may sound stupid but allow me to explain myself


Now it is a 2012 v6 mustang but with my thinking: suspention, tires and under pinnings from the new gt500 and the motor out of the boss 302 but keep the same look=the ultimate sleeper car, think about it!

I know i'm sounding like a total geek but, a '85 deloreanI need to stop watching Back To The Future

I’ve had a big interest in Crown Victorias for a while. If it wasn’t for them being such fuel-guzzlers and the fact I live in a state with crazy gas prices, I’d be aiming for one as my first car.

Also, those newer Dodge Chargers would top the list on my interests in cars. They just look awesome, and personally I think even more so with police cruiser driver bars

Ahem. Fully-loaded Tesla Model S.

No joke. By now I seriously need a car of my own...

I hate choosing favorites but its either a Subaru WRX Hatchback or an Audi A3.

THIS!:

or this:

and this

Well Tattorack I can solve your R8 and Golf problem right now

OH SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Volkswagon only gets better!!!!

Kia Soul. I LOVE THIS CAR!!!

I love the Soul because of the shuffling hampsters

1969 GT500 Shelby Mustang. Awww yeah....

Do want...

Don't think there's a thread like this here, so I thought I'd start one.

Basically you talk about cars in general, maybe post some pictures of your own car, or even someone elses!

Want to confess that you'd love to own a MX-5? Wanna talk about STI wheels, extractor back exhausts and tinting? Then this is the thread for you!

/salespitch

I guess I'll start off by posting this image of my car that I hastily ran out into the rain to take photos of when I thought of this thread.

It's a 1991 Holden Nova (Toyota Corolla rebadge) which isn't anything special, but it gets me from A to B.

I have another car which looks nicer (Toyota Corona) but it's not as reliable as the Nova.

Your turn!

Safer for wildlife because of the toxic gasses...
That's changing here soon, Europe is getting big on
hydrogene and hydroelectric cars.
Now we just need an advanced warning computer
system on affordable cars.

If your talking about car crashes with animals, that is what
I meant with the warning system.
Its about time they start making some!

Well I can't say I expected the thread to go in this direction. lol

I would honestly be far more worried about the people that hit the animals than the animals themselves.

Hitting wildlife really isn't a problem in cities (where like, 75% of the population of the world lives), and even elsewhere in more rural territories hitting wildlife seems to be quite rare.

I did a quick Google search, but unfortunately it only came up with insane crazy activist groups on Facebook so I'm just speaking from personal experience.

Well, there's this thread here, but honestly, this newer one is more broad and open to general 'about cars' posting, in my opinion.

Anyways, I drive a blue, 1998 Nissan Sentra GXE. It's clean, tiny but yet spacious, gets amazing gas mileage (38 mpg on a highway, 32 mpg in the city) and it runs excellent. I <3 my car.

Ha ha, me neither!
Though I preferre to wait untile gas-guzzelers are kicked out.

I don't own a car yet.
my dream car is a black Corvette, admittedly I have no idea how good corvette's are as an actual car, but I know they look awesome!!!!!

'05 Honda Civic. Manual transmission. 120,000 miles on it, still runs great. Also gets between 35 and 40 mpg. I love my car. ^_^

Dad yells from the other room: "OUR car." :/

Fine, fine. It's not technically "mine" ... I'm just the only one who drives it. =P

... My car. ^_^

I currently own a 99 Subaru Outback w/ automatic transmission. It has performance slotted/drilled rotors with ceramic pads, a high flow air filter, and performance muffler.
Engine: EJ25D BOXER 4 dual overhead cam, direct injection, naturally aspirated. Total output: 165+hp, 160+lb/ft torque
Drivetrain: Automatic Trans. w/ AWD; fully-independent suspension
Mileage: 230,000+

I don't drive either and I'm 23 (yes I'm weird and don't care )

That car is so cute! Love the colour, mate!

Corvette's are awesome, though they're kinda in the same spot as Jeep's in that they're not that reliable. lol Don't worry, it's your car.

That's quite fuel efficient though, and I've always had a soft spot for Honda's since my first car was a Honda Legend.

Dude, that sounds sweet! Judging from the mileage, that car has recieved a lot of love. Did you get the extras added to the car yourself?

Also guys, don't forget to post pictures if you want/can. I'm sure everyone here wants to see your ride. <3

So... since when are you a furry, Chaplin, or should I say Batman?

Thanks for the compliment! I love to hear from a Subaru fan!

I had my mechanic install the exhaust, and brakes, but I put the air filter in myself.
Unfortunately the car has a new-er engine in it. The orig. went at around 200,000 miles. My dad bought it used, and I don't think it was well taken care of before we got it. (it was used on a farm, so Lord knows what it went through) I run synthetic oil w/ the best filters, iridium plugs, good gas, etc. I try to take real good care of it.
The transmission and body have every bit of the 230000+ miles on it.

Here's a pic.

I actually need to take more pictures of my car. I took the door guards off of it, and added some black graphics to the bottom of the doors. I'll post some updated ones soon.

Merged posts with the other car thread.

Well, my dad and I can hear one of the wheel barrings going out in my car.

Also, humorous story for all of you: Last weekend, my car failed to start while going out for lunch. What we originally thought was a broken timer belt turned out to be a flooded engine. And of course, with our luck, the gas wouldn't drain out when we shut the car off and held the gas pedal down. So we had to take off the engine cover and manually rev the engine to get the gas out. Thank God it wasn't the timer belt; my car would have been stuck in my driveway for at least a month or two. o_O

I love old school Nissans.

That picture you posted looks like the grandfather of my current car.
Not calling the car a piece of crap or anything. I'm saying that it's an older model car, but you can still see the similarity between this car and my car if you compared the two. Like the similarities between an older person of the family and the current generation.

They do look a little similar now that I give both pictures a closer look. Though that's probably not a huge surprise, considering that they're both Nissans.
