I posted pics a very long time ago (2005ish), but I think a couple C&G crashes sent that thread into the abyss. So here are some more recent pics of the Lumina. It has some rust, hail damage, and the paint is starting to fade, but she still runs pretty well. It has about 142,000 miles on it now, which means I have put 62,000 miles on it since I bought it for $800 4 1/2 years ago. It's probably going to be with me for another six months, and then I'm looking to replace it with a used, RWD two-door of some type. With the way the economy is now, I've put off plans for a new car purchase until 2010. Anyway, these pics span from over the last year or so.

2001 Olds Alero 2.4 L AT Got it June 1st. Only issue right now is the cruise control not working. I have to replace a clip in the column this weekend. Ignore the date on the photos, my camera is really a piece of garbage. Second major car purchase of mine, first one that I did on my own. Very proud of this baby.

I just love this car. She's got about 125,500 miles on her. Photography is a little hobby of mine, so I end up snapping a bunch of shots of the car.

Scroll down to post #4 for the less obscure pics! Here 'tis, in thread form. The pictures will start off obscure, and get more and more obvious if people don't get it. So, how well do you know the details? [attachment=54:attachment] [attachment=55:attachment] [attachment=56:attachment]

Ranger is continuing to exceed expectations, very happy with this purchase.

I'll go first:

sitting in the garage with the Tin Indian so I bought it some 225/45X17 tires and new wheels. Now it wants to go to Firebird and race the Solstice heads up.

For reference... Before: and After: I know, I should have done this when the leaves were still on the trees but I never got around to posting so yeah...better late than never. For anyone wondering what it looks like after the body shop got done with it. Cost of labor: $560 Cost of parts: $200 (included bumper cover, trunk lid, bumper reenforcement, energy absorbers, and left tail light, and an afternoon's worth of work). Sorry for the lousy quality photos...I always meant to get better before posting but that never...happened Enjoy!

So after some looking around my brother has decided that he wants the Shadow instead of buying a car. While I'm sure some of you are laughing your asses off, or wondering why we'd bother with some 80's FWD, Unibody, pillared, $h!box...f@#k off. Kidding. Seriously though, the car's been good to us for most of it's time with us. Plus, unlike a "new" car, which can be a good car (like mine) or a never ending sea of misery and problems (BV's Beast), we know everything that's good and bad with it. I've wanted a car to play with for some time now, something I don't have to worry about rushing because someone needs to drive it. I can take my time and do it rig…

Black 2008 G6 GT Street Edition I know everyone here hates it, but I really liked it and my wife (it's her car) loves it. I did not know that you could add it to the GT models, but apparently you can. It has every option including the 18 inch rims and Stabili-track. We had a black GT next to this GT and it looked so much meaner with the Street Edition stuff it. Screw all you haters, we like it.

As many of you know I have been busy as of late. Landscaping the house, building a new retaining wall, a new mailbox and stuff like that. Monday the Torrent was suppose to get its windows tinted, until she played a special trick on me. NOT starting, and then the key wouldn't remove. I called GM and they sent a tow truck to try to get me jumped. No such luck, and an hour later he was unhooking something under the hood so we could roll it out of the garage down to the wrecker as it wouldn't shift out of park. It was towed to the closest GM dealer, a Chevy one whom I do not go to but don't have anything against. The tech found out a there was a bad cell in the battery and th…

Well, our task for the day involved changing the brake pads on my father's Bonneville and while we were at it, we decided to paint the calipers red a la GXP cars. So...how's it look?

So as I mentioned we drove the LeSabre home in a blizzard the night I bought it. Yet somehow the bias-ply tires & RWD in combination with New England roads didn't manage to kill me. Weird. Yup... it's 11:00pm, April 4th and we've got a full blown Snow Storm starting. Next morning. Can't sleep, too exicted. I've had the car in my possession for almost 12 hours now. Time to take off those 1959 Dodge wheel skirts. Wheel Skirts are off, but I got some of my DNA on the rear quarter. Ouch! She's a firecracker, managed to cut me pretty good. Yes, I take pictures of everything. Later that day I was running important errands, like... ummm... I nee…

Well I did it.....I am the new owner of a 2006 Cobalt Supercharged SS.....The color??? Sunburst orange metallic.....Gotta love the 0% for 72!!! I take delivery on friday...pics coming soon

I posted this in my thread in the lounge but thought I would post it here to since I've been meaning to for a while anyway... The album includes a few good pictures of my '68 Camaro SS and my '73 Camaro Z28/RS. It also includes a picture of my daily driver; the Focus ZX3 before it got smashed and as a bonus, the pictures of the infamous camry rental from a year ago. Not pictured: Our 1999 Silverado Z71, our 2001 F-150 and our 1982 Toyota Starlet (beater) http://uncc.facebook.com/album.php?aid=201...5ee&id=36614241

A fellow member requested pics of the Enclave. As you can see it is a White Diamond TriCoat CXL AWD with the standard 19 inch wheels. It's undergone some changes since its arrival, such as an aftermarket bluetooth, new badging, and tinted windows. Enjoy!

Good friend turned in his 2014 Malibu company car and got a 2020. He's impressed! Simple white LT with black cloth. Checked it out the other day and remembered many reasons why i like this current version of the Malibu so much, especially considering I had a 2016 myself. Already he's raving about the fuel economy, size, interior design, comfort. Too bad Chevy can't promote this more. I think an AWD Malibu and a more accessible price on a 2.0 turbo would help. One of Chevy's best shapes in the last 20-30 years....

At long last, here's a picture of my first car, a 1993 Mercury Grand Marquis. I've had it for about 9 months now, I'm just really lazy when it comes to developing my pictures.

Spent the weekend in North Brookfield attending my first meet and modfest. I can honestly say I haven't had so much fun in a long time. Great food, great people, great cars, and lots of laughs. I posted what was done to my car in it's own thread. I thought I'd share some from the rest of the meet with everyone who enjoys working on cars.

2008 Cobalt LT1 Sedan, 2.2L Just Picked It Up Today. Story Here BETTER PICS TOMORROW

Name: Ford Escape (2013) Date Added: 21 May 2015 - 02:05 PM Owner: ccap41 Short Description: I bought her in Nvember with 34,000 miles on her. She is a Titanium with all the goodies except navigation. It still had the premium Sony sound system. Has the Pano sunroof, cool but unessesary if you ask me. It isn't fast by any means but the 2.0t keeps me entertained for the time being. I don't plan to stick much money into it as it isn't much of a toy but cars are one of my passions so there are always things to do. So far I've tinted the windows 20% all the way around, got rid of the hideous amber colored parking lights with white LEDs, also replaced the OEM fog light …

So after over a year of owning her I've finally done something to make her more unique. While I do like white-face gauges and the sporting image they give off, I've long wanted some sort of metallic rings to surround them. Not only does it add some modern bright work to the cabin, but it ads a touch of class. Well, I wasn't able to get rings for the gauges but I did manage to get the next best thing. On the recent $50 Day I managed to pick up a gauge cluster out of a Chrysler Concorde, and despite the rain I managed to keep it safe and dry. Yesterday, with some modifications, I was able to swap them out. Although these gauges are black, I do like the how they look, and…

...I hope to have a reason to post some new pictures of my Cobalt.

Auction Listing

Just traded my 05 Silverado for this baby!

For those of you that remember me from a while back... Traded my 07 Pontiac G5 GT for a 2010 Acura TSX 4-cyl/auto/non-tech (Drew complained that i never post in here anymore so this is just for him :-p)

Well, decided to try the "shack" here....let me know how I do. My Cav:

Took delivery last evening of a 2007 Saturn AURA XE in Midnight Blue with Tan Cloth. It has the Convenience Package, Preferred Package, Enhanced Convenience Package, and the upgraded 17" Chromed five-spoked Wheelcovers. Since they got this car on trade from Saturn of Marlow Heights in Maryland, there was a tan pinstripe and VIN Etching already on the car. My salesman knew I didn't want any of that, so I wasn't charged for it! I think I actually like the tan double-pinstripe, so I will keep it on for now. And to make things better, the lease price they quoted me Wednesday night turned out to be $16 less per month at delivery! So with the GM Supplier Discount, $750 Satur…

Just took some new pics of the riv....enjoy!

hey guys, I just put a deposit on a white on tan 1995 Buick Riviera I found on Ebay, I test drove it today and it drove great. It is supercharged and has 64k miles on it. The only flaws I've found on the car so far are the traction control button falls into the dash when I went to test it, also the "R" in the grill is being held on with a ziptie, the maker light in the rear bumper on the left side is out and one bulb in the third stop light is out....otherwise it's damn near mint, save a few scratches....here this is it, check it out....The guy told me he would end the auction but its still posted for some reason so I am a little pissed but anyway here she is... My Ri…

Gas is $4.00+ a gallon. People are in a panic to get rid of their trucks and SUVs, desperate to get into a smaller more fuel efficient vehicle, even at the cost of their credit. Scienetists say we are doomed, and the Earth will literally boil and explode in the next year if we don't all start walking, riding bikes, and stop driving the things we love and farting. However, we're bucking the trend. That's right, and the RWD/BOF/V8 fanatics should be proud. Last week we bought a 1993 Mercury Grand Marquis. After a week or so of dealing with the hassle of MA's retarded registration polices we picked up the car on Wednesday. The man we bough it from is quite a character, pre…

Can anyone tell me the best way I can go about figuring out where my 68 Impala was built? I'm assuming the VIN number? I'm not sure how to quickly determine that though.

Finally got some lowering springs installed this spring, ment to get these images up earlier but been waiting for some decent weather. The rear's not as low as I had hoped it would be but it doesn't look as 4x4 as it did before. The ride is certainly better, smoother, tighter I couldn't ask for more. And as promised here's a bonus that just happened today This happened right out in front of my house. I'm at my computer and I hear my alarm going off.. I look outside to see some guy looking at my bumper with his Dodge Ram pulled out a bit. I get outside, tell him that it's my car. He said it was his fault (no $h!), and he had "slipped" on t…

I know everyone has been trying to get me to post pictures of my GTI in the other thread, so here's a few for starters- My old 2104 4Runner Trail Edition (picks suck, I will try to find better ones)

my friend and i brought our cars to the school yard for some pics. The bone stock cutlass is mine, and the Monte (and chevelle in the background) are my friend shane's.

Guess what 2006 GM vehicle this is off of: [attachment=95:attachment] [attachment=96:attachment] It's my new 2006 G6 GT with all the trimmings. Yes the 2003 Grand Am GT went bye-bye for the G6 and the the G6 is sooooooo much nicer to drive than the GA. I'll take better shots tomorrow in the light. It's a Crimson Red GT with the Leather package (taupe), Panoramic sunroof, remoter start, power pedals, wing, chrometech wheels... Good deal when the GM Card double the rebate from $1000 to $2000. I leased it for three years like the 2003 GA. I'll let you know how it goes, but it is definetely geared better than the GA and feels …

I just bought a 2006 Pontiac G6 GTP Hardtop Convertible. I love it. The styling is top notch, as are fit and finish. The retractable hardtop works perfectly. The 227 hp, 3.9 L has plenty of pickup and it's fun to drive. All this for $32K MSRP. Great job Pontiac!!!!

Name: Nissan Altima Coupe 2.5S (2011) Date Added: 02 July 2011 - 06:11 PM Owner: PONTIAC06 Short Description: Looking for a replacement for the Jeep and decided to drive her just for fun. After driving lots of other SUVs/crossovers, I decided to go back and run the numbers. With the tent event going on, I ended up with her and the Jeep both. Navy Blue/Blonde cloth. She's got everything except leather, NAV and foglights. Picked her up on 6/27. I love the smart key, Bose sound system, and the CVT. The power delivery is extremely smooth, and it never is searching for the right gear. View Vehicle

well this is for two reasons... the first being that i never put pictures of my car up here... and am finally getting around to it... the second and most important reason... is that i think it would be hysterical to see someone pimp this...

It isn't flashy or exciting, but it was what I could afford, and I make it as enjoyable as I can. No real complaints other than maybe I should have gotten a different interior color, I'm not a fan of beige. In the cost spot I put the whole amount financed, not sure what the base price was, but I think the rate was like 2.9% or something like that. I'll see about getting a picture sometime later, maybe.

As I've been saying for months, the Camaro (black, 3.8L Series II, A4 for those who are new) was going to get a makeover for spring break. Therefore, we've got pictures of before and after...

it arrives!

This occurred on Oct 30. I have been away from here since about August, only popping in from time to time, but I figured I would bring some news. Had to get my almost 16 year old teenager a ride and didn't want to give up my Impala.. nor have her rolling around in a compact. She gets her height from me.. and is already 5'9. I told her the budget was $22K with no sports cars (she wanted a damn Camaro... a 16 year old.. with a Camaro) I said "no..." so she looked at used everything else. I'm really proud of her because she looked at a Fusion, Malibu, Escape, an '07 SRX (yes the Boxy one) a used CTS, a 300.. and finally said to me "Daddy.. I kno it has to be Americ…

Here she is, my car. Too bad I cant drive it because I am in college. Money doesnt grow on trees, as the old saying goes. Anyway here it is, my 6 speed 96 Z. I sure like the car. She is fun to play around with. Completely stock. Officially, my record is 1-2. :( I raced a camaro and beat him once, then he beat me. It was a modified 96 with exhaust and some other goodies. I think he let me win though the first time. Then i raced an 05 mustang GT and got basically whooped on. At any rate, I beat a lot of rice cars, but I dont count that in my official record!

When looking it up I see two sets of numbers listed for each, with one as standard one as optional. There isn't a different engine option, so I'm guessing that it is related to the transmission. Since hers has the auto which is optional I'm making an educated guess that that is the one that get…

I'd never thought I'd see the day when I would own, of all things, a Buick, but here it sits in my driveway. I'd also never see the day when I would choose a Buick over a Trans Am, but again, here the Buick sits in my driveway and not the car I've aspired to own since I was a kid (well, okay, a second-generation T/A is what my heart really desires, but that's beside the point). The Monte, I think, went to a good home. The 383 stroker that I thought the Regal would have resting under its Grand National-sourced bonnet will find its way under the hood of my old car. The new owner also has a Monte LS parts car which will donate various bits and pieces to make my old Monte a…

Two weeks ago, I driving along in downtown Hell (Phoenix) on a pleasant, sunny 115 degree day when I hear a loud SNAP, and my seat lurches backward and to the right ('00 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 101k miles). Got home, studied the situation, realized the driver's seat track was sheared off right below the seat attachment point. All the power functions work fine. Did some research, found it this is a common problem with WJs. Found several write ups about this on jeepforum.com and other forums. Started fiddling with it, managed to unbolt the 4 bolts that held the track. After leaning the seat back, I realized the seat frame (which the track bolts to) is also cracked. …

Name: Ford Mustang Mach 1 (2003) Date Added: 22 May 2015 - 02:30 PM Owner: ccap41 Short Description: I no longer own her but I had some pictures and I know I'll talk about it so I might as well have her good looks accessible! I bought her with only 43,000 miles on the clock for 12,500. Only thing done was SLP catted Xpipe and SLP Loudmouth 1 catback. I absolutely love how the 4.6 sounds.. m favorite sounding vehicle..possibly ever. I'm not a fan of the SLP but I didn't see it worth the money to change it all out for essentially the same performance. I only had her for a year before I realized I can't drive it in the snow, at all. I felt terrible borrowing my pa…

So after all the last few years of my harassing, and shopping, test driving, sending pictures ....my uncles let my mom know of a 2011 DTS for sale in the small town and where my parents had bought other Cadillacs before. Got a build sheet from GM and a Carfax to check it out. I could tell mom had found what she wanted . And less than 80,000 miles. I told her if she didn’t buy it today that I would. Maybe Cadillac needs to refocus on the large comfortable cars again. She got a good one, the interior is almost new condition. She wishes the dash top wasn’t so dark, I told her with used cars you get what you get. ?

The last brand new GM vehicle my parents ever bought in Blue metallic was a 1993 Oldsmobile Achieva. My dad wanted a Grand Am but I thought the Achieva had a really nice interior and was more comfortable for all our super-long road trips we used to take as a family. Even thought I was only 14 I pretty much was allowed to pick the car we'd buy since I had my head burried in car magazines 24/7. I thought Quad4 was a redundant name and years later I grew to hate it for it's lack of power. The SOHC 115HP Quad4 pretty much sucked, even new. Never any usable torque. Anyway my parents had been talking about the posibility of trading their 1997 Grand Am in on a new car in the pa…

Well I feel like a big loser for still not posting my 1959 Buick LeSabre two-door post sedan, or the "Banana Boat" 1977 Cadillac Coupe deVille in this sub-forum. Both of these old GMs are, in different ways, project cars of mine. The Buick was used as a daily driver for 7000 miles last summer, and is now receiving some over-due TLC. The 49 year old 364 cubic inch V8 is half appart. The Banana on the other hand is my current daily driver, a 4500lbs.

Figured I'd post the replacement for my brother's wrecked Ranger. It's a Nissan, as you can see. I think it's a 1993. It has about 130k miles on the odometer and it's a stick. I'm not sure if it's a V6 or a 4cyl as I haven't asked nor looked to see for myself. I think he got it for $1k or so. It's a little rusty, but seems more solid than his Ranger was, which is certainly good. It supposedly runs pretty well.
