Post your rides! (Past or current)

Thought this would be fun. I did a search and didn’t see any other threads like this. Thought it would be cool to see the variety of members vehicles past and present. I’ll start.

First car was a ‘99 Ford Escort 5 Speed. Drove the wheels off that thing and rust was it’s downturn after about 180k miles if memory serves me right. Don’t have any pics of it. Had a fart cannon on it though. lol

06 Kia Spectra 5-speed. First car I ever really “modded.” I was really into stance at the time. Wheels were JDM Wald Duchatelets and fronts were 17x8 with a 17x9 on the rear. Drove well over 30k miles with “stance” wheels and absolutely 0 issues. Car spent about 85k miles slammed and never skipped a beat. Car was lowered on modified Megan Racing Coilovers for a Tiburon. Great car all around.



97 Jeep Cherokee 5-speed. Sold it rather quickly. Thought a Jeep would be fun and I hated it. lol. Sold it and drove the wheels off the Kia back at stock ride height. Parted out the rest of the car



02 Dodge Ram 2500 Quadcab Shortbox 6-speed Cummins (the one I never should have sold). Had it for about a year and a half. Stored it in the winter and truck was originally a California truck. Purchased it from Indiana with 167k with mods. I sold it to my brother. Truck had a Fass lift pump, intake with dry AFE filter, Borg Warner FMW 62/68/14 T3 turbo, 75hp injectors, Edge Juice with attitude tuner, Southbend single disk clutch, 5” straight exhaust, and a bunch of other odds and ends. Truck never hit the Dyno but similar setups netted about 450hp and 1000+ tq. Miss this truck.




While I had the truck I still had the Spectra which pulled DD winter driving duty.

After selling the truck I bought a 2016 Focus ST (ST3) package. Had all the bells and whistles. Was a really fun car but on the small side. Rode pretty stiff and sold it with 80k after 4 years of ownership. Never had a bit of trouble and only mods were intake and small odds and ends. This car also started my love affair with white vehicles.



Focus went for the ‘21 Telluride S which my wife now drives. Only mods are tints and replaced headlight bulbs with Lasfit LED’s.

Traded in my wife’s ‘19 CR-V EX for the ‘22 Stinger GT-Line AWD.



Not sure what the plans for the Stinger will be yet. It’s a great vehicle out of the box, but I’m always fiddling with something. I’ll most likely grab an intake when they become available, do subframe collars, maybe a jb4, and I wouldn’t mind a slightly louder exhaust. Other than that I just plan to drive and enjoy it.

Interested to see what vehicles other members have. If this thread has been created, my apologies.

Lol. No, you would not be interested in any of my previous "rides". They were not rides, they were conveyances. Sedans and vans of various iterations. All previously owned. And there is another thread on this exact topic, I just can't recall the title, so, can't search for it. I posted pics of all my earlier vehicles (except the Peugeot, which I forgot at the time, because it was so forgettable), or rather, pics from the Net I found that duplicated most of them. Some respondents to that thread posted pics. A few simply said how many vehicles they've had: some numbered well over 50. A couple listed all their vehicles. It was amazing.

But, in the spirit of your OP, here is my first car:

looks like it may have been this one.. ? How Many Cars Have You Owned? .. although.. now i dunno whether to post here or revive that 2 year old thread.. lol

^^^Way to go! And now I see that I conflated two different threads: the other one was the one where I fetched pics from the net to show the cars I remember from my youth: the Monte Carlo was the only pic I had to get a look alike pic for, because we have no pics of the original one.

Anyway, i'll reply here, i don't think i've ever posted my small list of cars... I love a lot of cars and wanted a lot but, never did the frequent sell/trade in.. lol..

"first" car I had was given to me before I even had a learners permit due to growing up on a farm I don't have an actual picture of it but it was a silver 1986 nissan stanza ..

then, a 2000 eclipse gt that I got with 60k miles on it and drove very hard to around 310k miles on original everything.

Then a 1992 Camry for a while,
then got my 2000 suburban that I loved!

then we got our 525iT, followed by our 540iT (we still own these and the next vehicles.. for now )

"bought" my partners legacy outback

then we bought the h3 adventure together

and of course our Stinger <3 in the showroom the day we picked her up. almost 2 years ago now.
