I kinda want to buy one. I've never bought a new car and everyone I know likes to tell me that I can't buy anything that has no rust on it...but I might have to with that. I love Grabber Blue and Competition Orange for sure, but that green just does it for me so much for some reason. Or maybe I'll try and find a New Edge Bullitt. I don't like to admit it, but I love New Edge Mustangs for some reason

The "New Edge" Mustang was a bit of a childhood hero car of mine. Especially the supercharged SVT Cobra model with its distinctive whine.

Heh, the FSO/Polski-Fiat 125p was actually based off of the larger Fiat 125 whereas the Lada Riva was based off of the Fiat 124.

Picky picky :p
I probably knew that somewhere in my head, but for all intents and purposes, I actually didn't. TIL :)

Same for the most part. But the actual reason why I love them is because I learned to drive on my brothers old 2001 V6. That car was such a pile of junk and it was a V6 too, but it did have a 5 speed which redeemed it about as far as I could throw it. God what an awful pile, but I have a soft spot in my heart for them because of it. The Termi Cobras are badass for sure, but I like the 99-01 Cobras (the N/A ones) better. I do legitimately want to find one of these or a Mach 1 once I sell some of my Teeyotas

Heh, I actually know about cars internationally. I've been feeding this hobby of mine since I was like 7 or 8 years old. ;)

Nice! I've only been really into this life of pain, misery, and moneylessness hobby since I was a sophomore in college, so it hasn't been that long for me (and considering my car and part collection, I might've let it go a bit too far at this point :rolleyes:) and my knowledge of Eastern European and non-Japanese Asian autos is basically non-existent, I'll admit. I got most of what I do know from that Top Gear episode :p

Heh, I don't really know much about Asian cars that aren't Japanese or S. Korean, but I've always been fascinated with the Eastern Bloc cars for some reason. Car manufacturers weren't free to do what they wanted, like in the west, so it was interesting to see what ideas they had. My favorite communist car would have to be the East German Trabant, a car so bad that it wasn't even made out of metal, but some weird cardboard composite material. Here's a video on one:

I think it'd be really fun to drive a vintage ambulance, like one of these:

1955 Cadillac Ambulance:

...I'd even be willing to get injured, just to have one take me to the hospital, it's so pretty : P

I love old emergency vehicles! Especially their sirens! ^W^

Although not a recent pic, this is what I daily drive! Took not long after I bought it. 2004 Toyota Tacoma SR5 double cab 4x4. Traded a 2011 Tacoma SR5 extended cab for it, 4 doors are a must for me plus I prefer the smaller size of the first generation Tacos. Had 75k on it when I bought it and now is up to 127k about 4 years later! I commute 60 miles a day for work, and I drive her like an old man. Only thing I've done is timing belt and water pump at 100k, tires, regular fluid changes, and recently did spark plugs and a full tuneup. Keeps on going and I trust it to take me anywhere. I live in Montana and would jump in and drive all the way to Miami, Florida in a heartbeat without worry. Best compact pickups ever made, in my opinion. Oh, and she got a brand new frame and a list of other new chassis goodies under warranty a couple years ago so is essentially a new truck underneath and the body panels are all solid, I keep her clean as possible! Looking forward to many more years and miles providing some dumb shit on a phone doesn't blow an intersection and total her out, got rear ended once two years ago, luckily it was at low speed so not much damage. Actually totaled the car that hit my tow receiver at around 15mph!

Nice truck! And nice pup too :)
I share your worry about other people running me over. It sucks because that's what keeps me from driving any of my Toyotas all that much. I think I put maybe 2000 miles on my Poopra in the past 3 years :( That said, it's in pieces right now so it's not exactly driveable, which does suck, but I'm hoping to get a good bit of work done on it this year since it's been basically the same for the past 2.5 years.

I haven't seen this posted yet, so here's Driftworks' AE86. Those nutcases over in the UK stuffed an LSX 454 with Jenvey ITBs into this thing. It's amazing.

The ST owners were out at the local meet last night with the correct color Fiesta ST and the correct color RS, plus a bunch more that I ended up with blurry pictures of because my cellphone is old and brokenish

Bumping this with more military equipment, this time from the damn commies. Soviet-era, Ukranian built KrAZ 255B 6x6, which is a ridiculous monster of a truck. I have a not small addiction to watching videos of these, Urals, and Tatras on Youtube.

Isn't there just something special about the VAZ-2101 a.k.a. the Lada?

Always wanted to import in a lada.

There's a video of jermey Clarkson from top gear hitting the fender of one with a large hammer and it's barely denting it.

If you have Amazon prime they have thier own version they're making themselves.

I wonder how much money the BBC lost with top gear.
