Daily drivers / beaters / winter / project vehicles

[fowljesse]

Careful on that thing (not of your driving, but every @$$ on the road)! I had a Suzuki GSX600F2 (probably the older version of that bike, because it looks almost exactly the same, except the Fairing).
I like this thread.

MX-3 was a former daily driver but now goes out mostly on wknds, when I can keep'r on the road Commuting/freeway driving in Wash DC area absolutely sucks so...

...here's one of a few "daily drivers" for commuting 2-4 days each week. Gas mileage is unbelievable although it does consume a 50/50 mix of gatorade/H2O I'm lucky to live within riding distance to work and have locker/shower facilities @job location. Pic is from an Oct. '07 Saturday ride.

Sold the 95 Tahoe and got an 05 Silverado Crew Cab 4x4. It only has 3200 miles. Never titled, owned by GM and driven by some GM Exec. or something. 100,000 mile warranty is nice.

Good onya, Neutral. Fellow Cyclist! I live in the land of cycle commuting.

Well...I figured I would update this, old pics of my suby daily/beater are on page 1 / first post.

As it sits now:


17inch BBS wheels "aggresive" offset of +35 vs. stock +55
Color matched / painted hood, rear bumper, driver side door
Not pictured but added:
-ground wire kit
-throttle body spacer
-super-short ram intake (Filter sits underneath the hood scoop)
-lightweight (NOT-underdrive) crank pulley
-05 STI catback exhaust
-eibach 1inch drop springs (still has a huge wheel well gap )
-rear fold down seat back (was so annoying having the fixed back seat that did not fold, but a good find at the junkyard fixed that)
Have, but not installed
-intake manifold phenolic spacers

Not really anymore plans for it, but it will probably need a new clutch soon and i am getting rust on the rear wheel arches, both sides

Okay, here are my peripheral vehicles:

My "Daily Driver", that I don't drive much because the other one is more fun, and my 33' RV before I painted it silver.


Actually, it's been nice doing roadtrips in the stock one, because it's more quiet, and smooth.

The RV in it's "natural" habitat:



Being painted:



My Euro spec Mercedes 450 SLC. It has 130,000 original miles, and was rebuilt less that 5,000 ago.





It has rare blue leather intrior in perfect shape. It even smells new.





My Tandem bike that I put an 80cc motor on. It gets to about 35 mph with me and Sarah on it.




My friends resting:



I have some other toys, but these are the major ones

My 2 winter rides....

-Atomic Hatchet 145 Park/Pipe/Jibbing board
-95.5 Mazda 323 SPORT! picked her up with 190khms for $400 E-tested! I actually may keep it and make the MX3 a weekend only car!

[93SOHC]

the Festy is my daily ride, I can't wait to play in the snow with my HUGE 13" tires and 2" suspension lift thanks to some Aspire suspension I just installed. It's an on going project too, but became my dd when my Blazer started to separate body from frame, lol!

ps-every oil spot in my driveway is from that damn blazer! Chevy sux

[IMACHU2]

My project car is a 1994 Mazda 323. I am putting an MX-3 under it and a KLZE in it. LOL


My other project car is a 1978 Ford Mustang II Mach 1 V8 T-top. (300hp + 100hp shot of nitrous 2800LBS!)


I call it my winter beater, but I drive it all year round! 1993 Mazda 323 460000KM!!!
