Shoes, taxi, bus, trolley. In that order. Don't own a car and haven't for more than 3 1/2 years now.

Honda Civic Gas-Electric Hybrid with CVT Transmission and I love it! Gas economy is so good I almost feel like I'm driving for free!

This my 2002 Corvette Z06 on the last dragstrip pass before I smoked the clutch yet again.The date on this pic is wrong.The Vette has been modded extensively and has a Lingenfelter built 427"/7.4 liter motor that made 506 horsepower at the wheels on the chassis dyno a few weeks before this pic was taken.I have run a best quarter mile E.T. of 10.82 and a best mph of 135 on seperate runs.It's now having a new clutch installed and another fuel map designed for it to extract a few more HP.

I also have a 2001 Trans Am Ram Air with a six speed that I just got for my b-day.here are some pics of the Trans Am and some other cool stuff I got for my Birthday.It's all stock with exception of a new shifter.

I also have a 1965 Chevy Malibu SS that can be seen a little in one of the pics.It's pretty much a full on racecar but I drove it on the street last week and scared the **** out of everybody around me.I'm having paint and body work done on it over the winter.It's truly quick and I'll try to post some pics of it doing some big wheelstands and running a 8.98@ 161mph a few weeks ago at the track if I can find the link.It's ugly with the parachute mount but it's still a cool car and my kid's love it to death.

Very nice. They must not make too many of these for the general public. Does it have a noticeable effect on your electric bill?

honda element dx 2wd

bone stock, no a/c, no cruise control

but i switched out the rims to 17" adr demonyas

then i put in an alpine 9813 head unit running to a 300/4 and 500/1 jl amps to 6.5" component alpine type r speakers in the front, 6.5" coax type r speakers in the back and 2 12" kenwood woofers.

good god, this car is a money sink.

i'll post some pics later if i get a chance.

It never has to be plugged in! It is self charging through regenerative coasting and braking. All computer controlled.

Not to question you priorities, but wouldn't it be better to have spent money on an a/c rather than rims? Especially in LA?

It's understandable audio came first, but rims? I could see why people like the element, but I'm personally not a fan of it's styling.
