Bangle butt

That's an M5 behind it if I'm not mistaken...

You're correct.

My 4 vehicles are:
1965 Olds Cutlass F-85 (not pictured. stored in heated garage)
1991 Mercury Topaz
1996 Ford Ranger XLT
2001 Jeep Wrangler TJ

^ I used to have a '05 Wrangler, rolled it off a cliff one day while off-roading, I guess I took that term a little too literally.

The car hit a tree at 70KM/H on a mountainous track, the ARB Bull-bar absorbed almost all the damage, it was dinted in about 15cm and the front grill was untouched. Anyway, we hit the tree and rolled down a couple of times then hit another tree, the car cut off and airbags deployed etc.

Amazingly the car drove back up the mountain

The chassis had warped and was a write off non the less, but jesus. Thats some of the most fun I've had in a car. I once tried to drive it thorough the Murray River on shrooms, luckly it wasnt too deep where we went in and we could get towed out. The car was full of water (drain plugs are handy on it). We ended up attracting the attention of alot of campers in the area



Anyway my current car.
Soul & Passion.

Heck, who cares if its not even working half the time. Its sexy




I think that I will be buying a VW Kombi soon, just some cheap one. I crave a road trip.

From August 28th (if GM keeps their delivery date...) onwards:

2009 Pontiac G8 w/Premium Package



Gorgeous car, but they are rare since they just started to trickle into Canada. I can't wait!!

I don't want to brag or type much, although I have driven different vehicles and notice differences and similarities.

getting a wash this morning.

going to go shop for some new rims and tires tomorrow

that is a VERY nice looking Cav, its rare to see one done nicely.




In the US they already have a bad rep for being terribly GTO replacements.

This atm

Sorry about bad quality, only had my camera phone at the time

Just got the windows tinted

I really dislike cavaliers but this is truly done right. Great job.

Well to be quite honest, to hell with the GTO. I didn't buy the G8 because I wanted a GTO remake, I bought it because it's a gorgeous car and it's very well built. The GTO and the G8 aren't even in the same class so I don't know why people think the G8 is a GTO replacement.

Not same class? they are both "upscale" performance v8 family cars from the same maker the G8 FLAT OUT took the place of the GTO in the line up.... Hell they even have the same engine, platform and most likely same (or similar) suspension. The G8 even has the GTO's hood vents. The only change I see is a 6spd auto with no manual option and the body is less round.

My father and I each work for different GM suppliers.... about 90% of the changes are cosmetic. My company makes their websites, his makes interior parts and latches.

The G8 is a full-size luxury car that replaces the Bonneville and the Grand Prix. It's not classified as a sports car, well not in Canada anyway.

face it, your argument is like trying to say the camaro and Firebird are 100% different.

FYI, the Grand Prix is still being made... The GTO wasnt classified as a Sports car either....thats even what made them sell back in the 60's

Unbelievable ...You need to get your facts straight. The Camaro and the Firebird along with the GTO are sports coupes/muscle cars, the G8 is a full-size luxury car, like it's predecessor the Bonneville and to an extent the Grand Prix. Speaking of the Grand Prix, GM stopped making them earlier this year.

Huh? The GTO is based off the RWD GM V platform and the Pontiac G8 is based off the GM Zeta platform.

The GTO is an amazing car, holden quality that can be had used with a ****ING CORVETTE ENGINE for under 20k used. G8 is even better, depreciation isn't an issue..yet, but the build quality and concept is there, the power is there, sales just need to pick up. Funny how everyone on these blogs and forums beg for "IMPORTED CARS" or "RWD RWD" or "DIESEL DIESEL" but when it arrives it sells like ****. (All of the new saturns, the aussie pontiacs, mercury cougar (last gen), etc etc)

I totally agree, E46 is the best pussywagon ever! Ever!

Welcome to the beemer club bro!

i just ordered these, will have them installed next week..

i'm going +1 to 17"

Impala?

Nissan Altima?

2007 Porsche GT3 RS

got me a White '07 Cobalt SS.

and AHFUNAKI.....i think your Cavalier looks nice. i had a '94 Cavalier for 14 years that i just got rid of. i shed a tear when they came to take it away.

My baby is a 2005 Accord EX V6, truly an amazing machine considering the miles I put on her. However, typical Honda, I give it the maintenance that she deserves and pamper her as best I can and she just runs.

I got the windows blacked out about 5 months ago. It was somewhat of a rush job during the guys lunch break, so we didn't have time to take off the old factory tint, so they are REALLY dark.

I was talking about how the original GTO was a family car, and my camaro/firebird comparison was to compare the GTO and the G8

1. Grad Prix is still being made... so no car out NOW has replaced it
2. the GTO makes more power
3. the G8 is out BECAUSE Holden stopped using the platform the GTO was based on, Holden stopped making a RWD 2door hard top
4. What replaced the Holden Monaro(GTO)? the Commodor(G8)

1. GM ceased production on the Grand Prix. The 2008 Grand Prix, which came out last year, was the last model to be made. The G6 has replaced the Grand Prix in Pontiac's mid-size category lineup.
2. So...Have you seen the price of gas these days?
3. The G8 is based on the Commodore, so it's not out because Holden quit making a 2-door RWD chassis. It's out because GM wanted to reintroduce a full-size car into it's Pontiac brand, which the Bonneville filled until 2005. So GM and Holden took the current Commodore, tweaked it and released it in NA as the G8.
4. The Monaro was a sports coupe and the Commodore is a full-size car. You replace apples with apples, not apples with oranges

really? cuz i remember Dodge replacing a 4door small car (neon) with a small SUV wanna be (caliber)

1. The Pontiac Grand-AM was replaced by the G6 - The Grand Prix is being replaced by the G8

That information is probably all over the Internet, check your facts. The size of the G8 is closer to the Grand Prix than to the Bonneville. Nothing has replaced the Bonneville in the Pontiac lineup.

2001 Yamaha Thundercat
(Bikes are the best way to get around London)

Yeah the G6 replaced the Grand Am but it also replaced the Grand Prix because both are mid-size cars. The G8 and the Bonneville are both full-size cars. So the G8 has replaced the Bonneville.

Anyway, enough arguing back and forth, we're clogging up this thread lol

My 04' BMW 325i (Dark Blue, Metallic)



I love that thing. Still runs beautifully. Except in the snow

The photo is from when I first got it, that's why it still has the dealer plate thing (couldn't find any other photos of it).

Maybe you should come back with a better photo of your BMW !!! You know, without snow... It's august around here!

yep

I'd hope so - its barely 4 years old. Should just be getting run in at that point and loosening up!

You truly have no idea about what you're talking about.

The GTO and the G8 are nothing alike... aside from being fast. Different platform/body... different segment... different everything. The G6 takes place of the Grand Prix in terms of price point and has the same interior space as the grand prix.... the g8 becomes the more upscale full size car that takes over for the Bonneville and upscale GP's (GTP/GXP etc)

The only way its similar is that pontiac may be coming out w/ a 2 door G8 to replace the gto... but given the gas prices who knows. They are coming out w/ a g8 truck which will tank... but interesting none the less.

And you do realize the grand prix ceased production.

the new wheels..

KIA Rio 2008

2004 MG ZR+ 105

Im 18, second car, love it

i'm lovin it.

I drive this but with a hard top.

i drive the start of the range of....

Your insurance must be mad

about 1200, which is cheaper than what most of my mates are paying on fiestas, c2's and the like.

wow, i was expecting at least double that. Who are you with if you don't mind me asking?

Me too! 'More Than' I had to be 18 before I could take the policy out, and also I completed my Pass Plus driving course, which More Than treat as One year NCB, so it brought it down from £2k+ to £1200, which is slightly cheaper than I was paying on my old fiesta.

after a whole day of wash, clay, polish, wax and some love LOL

Just got this baby a few days ago (2008 Honda Civic DX-G)

^ I still can't believe they shoved those FREAKING UGLY rims on the DX-G model (And I rarely feel so strongly about car aesthetics). I understand that those aluminum rims with that crappy plate design is done for aerodynamics (Negligible?) on the Civic Hybrid. But IMO those hubcaps were better in the 07 model. And even at that I bought a LX just so I don't have to be stuck with those hubcaps.

But seriously those are by far the worst wheels ever made. Every time I see it on the road, I throw up a little, thinking, who the hell came up with these junk? The Civic looks really nice IMO, but the wheels just ruined the car.

Some updates... got the grilles and tail pipe fittings done..

A few things left to do.
smoking the tail lights (not black) same with the headlights
either nismo or eibach springs for the front.. lower it an inch
OEM fog lamps.
still waiting on DMV for my customized plates...
