sputnik Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Seems like there are alot of motor-heads here. I did a quick search and, while motorized transportation is a popular topic, it doesn't look like there has been a motor show here on the forum. It would be interesting to see what people here ride or drive. Also, what was your all time favorite? Here's my humble entry. I recently finished restoring my old 1972 Honda CB350. I know it's not as macho as other bikes, but it was one of the most popular motorcycles ever. It's all I need around town and on the back roads. It was my first love in high school and is now a genuine time machine for me. What's in your garage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackmesa Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Corvette6769, the only thing the Escalade it the "worlds most anything" is the worlds most presumptuous, obnoxious and downright ugliest vehicle on the road. oh and btw, the BMW X5 4.8 has 350 horse power and can pull 0-60 is 6 seconds flat! The Porsche cayenne has 450 horses! That puts the escalade at least behind 2 other stock SUVS so you need to drop that phony title... and the escalade if you had any taste. Of course, I do appreciate your vetts so I know you got some taste, the CTS-V is pretty sick too! You just maybe need a little reality slap for considering an escalade ! BAD Corvette6769, BAD!!!!

Blackmesa Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 my next ride.. I hope will be this (im not very rich so it will be a strech for me) parking at UCSD is a nightmare, so I'm going to give this a shot if my girl friend will let me. Bikes have WAF's too unfortunately.. or GAF in my case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyT Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Here's my family car, a toyota matrix wagon that's about to get a coilover suspension with hotchkis sway bars. It's a wagon but it's a cool fun to drive wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dzapper Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 My ride! http://forums.klipsch.com/idealbb/files/tractor1.jpg The black '02 Expidition has a ram air system, custom exaust and program mods. I love watching the looks on those "tuners" faces in their Hondas when I leave them at the light. It'll walk a V-10 F-250 or a Tahoe. Never played with an Escalade.

thebes Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Ok Rick put that thing back in the garage where it belongs. For your consideration is a 1962 Triumph 3TA. A 350 cc bike also known as the Triumph 21. A very rare beast in this o****ry not only because of age, but because they were never exported to these shores. Not running at the moment, meant to resleeve the barrel this winter, but got to busy with stereo stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gf has a vibe (same difference), I love pulling the e-brake around turns in that thing! btw, are there any good turbo kits for it?
