I spend most of my car time with podcasts. Or if I am particularly stressed out, some old jazz.

If listening to other men put a long, hard object in their mouth and blow is gay, then I guess I'm gay.

While I feel your answers are all great, this thread overall would have been a real letdown compared to recent GTKYN dramas. But you totally saved the day with your dream photo shoot post. Nicely done sir!

I have a pretty boring automotive career.

My lame car history.

91 Nissan Sentra 4-door. You know, the ones with the automatic seatbelts that went up and down the window.
98 F-150 XLT Extended cab Flareside. Only the passenger side had a rear door. It was maroon.
00 Ford Exploder Eddie Bauer. Flaming piece of ...
01 Triumph Bonneville - sold it to pay for my honeymoon.
07 Nissan Sentra. Got the 4-banger for the extra MPGs!
07 Hyundai Veracruz - 155k miles and still rolling
11 Kia Optima - 71k miles. AC SEATS
00 Mazda Miata - 102k miles. Need to spend some time with it, but have been too busy. Took the top off, bought a new top and never put it on. So it is sitting in my garage. :/


If anyone has any sort of photography question, always feel free to fire it my way.

What do all the buttons and switches on my fancy DSLR do aside from the AUTO mode?


J/K

PS- know what you mean about boring auto histories. Lots of civics, accords, work F-150s, with the occasional short stint of WRX thrown in between over the past 20 years.

This is the last GTKYN I could find. I vote that the auto board resume this tradition. Lot of great folks on this board.

Unless I'm mistaken, Guitarsoup has to pick our next victim.

I support this!

Can anyone else access the old stuff?

I've used the links, Google, etc. and it always comes back with "There are no new replies to this topic." or something to that effect.

Did TA get Cat AIDS?

NM; got lured into off topic.

I'll finish this up and start a new one in a couple days. Will include pics of actual car stuff I did myself!

Hurry up, dummy.

Seriously, pass the baton already.

~five years ago, I had never done brakepads or even changed the oil in a car. I primarily credit this board with teaching me stuff and lots of people like Silvy, the Dubis, 1Ags and Catag for answering my stupid questions. .

Here is an album. Nothing I did was all that hard, but considering I had no real mechanical knowledge whatsoever a few years ago, I'm pretty proud of the work. Baby steps.

The car even runs right now.

Last question I never answered...

Your crazy uncle dies and the terms of the will are that all vehicles you currently own are given to charity, but you are given $300,000 to buy vehicles (new or used) with all gas and insurance paid for by his estate forever. You must have at least one sedan, one truck/SUV and one coupe/convertible. You can have any number of cars in addition to those three. What do you buy and why?

Well, we have a couple little kids, so I am going to start it off with the obvious and most boring choice possible. Honda Odyssey. But the pimped out one with the vacuum built in. My wife will love it.

$45k.

My dad is disabled and lives with me. His dream car has been a Super Duty, so budget 55k for a nice used Super Duty. He'll probably drive it about 2,000 miles a year.

$100k used of $300k.

Need a coupe/convertible. I'm going to go with a dream car since I was a kid. Porsche 911 Turbo. I'll budget $70k for a used 997 Turbo.

$170k used of $300k.

Need a Sedan. Going to have to be automatic so the wife can drive it. I think I go get a Tesla P85D. Looks like those can be had for about $80k.

$250k used of $300k.

I've still got $50k left over. All 50k on a project car. What project I would want to do changes every single day, but 50k would be a nice chunk to throw down on a Cobra replica.





This garage:






Not the most exciting garage, but it would work well for my family.



As a bonus, my father in law has a legit Shelby GT500 and he got it painted this year. A few pics for your pleasure.







Creating a new thread. Sorry about the delay. Hope the Shelby pics make up for it if the Miata pics don't.
