Not sure what everyone drives, but I just got a Jeep Wrangler and I love it. All black with nice aluminum alloy wheels, chrome nerf bars and a soft top. Its a 2000 and the guy never drove it, it had 6000 miles on it!
My new Avatar is just a cheap imitation from the Jeep site, I gotta get a digital picture and post it. Its a sweet ride.

Nice ride, heatman.
I have an Acura Integra with a custom license plate that reads XIANTI. I'll post a photo once I get my new FTR license plate frame.

Nice!! I love Jeeps. I am on my 3rd one now. I have had a 94 Sahara, 97 Sport, and now I have a 00 sport.

This is my 2002 TT ALMS at the drag strip.

Nice tires Strangebird, on the Jeep that is, although I'm sure the ones on the Audi are nice too.

Well I just went from a 2000 Mercury Cougar to a 2002 Chevy S-10 Pick up. The man who owned it passed away and his wife sold it to me for only $5,000. I couldn't pass that up! The truck only has 16k miles on it. Right place, right time for me.
What's funny is that my coworker at work just bought the same model truck as me and paid $12k for a truck with 18k miles on it. :P

Not sure about the jeep but the Audi's tires look like either Dunlop's or Nitto's, could be wrong because I haven't been working on cars for a while.
Strangebird, what does your Audi pull a quarter in?
I have an 87 Tsupra with about 285rwhp, but I can't time it until I get a small oil leak fixed, (small leak at 15psi just became a huge problem).

It's pretty slow. I just brought it to the track to run with my buddys 350z. The best time was 13.8 @ 97 mph with 1.77 60 ft.

13.8 Isn't that slow. but it sounds mostly stock. A friend of mine just had twin turbos installed on his 00 A4, it just flies now.

Its pretty stock, just a chip and air filter. They really dont make too many speed parts from my car. Not a big enough market. More than likely i will get an S4 next year, after they work all the bugs out.
If I want to go fast i just hop in my camaro, she moves pretty good. My best time with the Z28 was 12.0 @ 100mph. Yes only 100 mph, i lost my fuel pump in 3rd gear and coasted the rest of the way. It should run 11.20's @ around 130 mph. If i could only keep it healthy.

Good Luck I had a '97 Z, 6sp that run 12.10s @119ish(don't have the slip with me)
Anyways, that car was sweet, but it was a pain to keep on the road actually running good and not rattling. Nothing like a chevy small block though
Unless you know it's a Chrysler Hemi Small block
