| Any car lovers? We all love our puppies but does anyone love their car and spend money on it too? I have a 2004 Ford Mustang GT that's not stock. My boyfriend also has 2 Mustangs, one being a race car. We spend a lot of time at the race track when the weather is nice. We bleed Ford blue.

| I do not spend money on them after I have them, but nothing like a fast muscle or sports car. Have always loved a nice car, starting off with my first car, a 69 Plymouth Roadrunner 440 six-pack......the exhaust would wake people up. Believe it cost $3500 out the door, and my payments were $60 a month, and I used the my unused Leave pay as a down payment. Lasted thru college, and got all of 11 MPG, but I paid .32 a gallon for Premium...we used to call it ehtyl back then. Days of gas wars, where an attendent pumped it, cleaned your glass, and checked your oil. |

| Ohhhh Very nice mustangs! I am in to cars, I use to not be into them until I met my DH he kinda got me into the cars, and dirtbikes, drag races.. things like that! This is MY Car, Well its our car hehe but I drive it all the time, DH has big ol dodge truck with a cummins motor, (something like that) we offroad in his truck, its fun. I love love love LOVE my corvette! I tell you, once you drive a corvette no car will compare to it. I love how I can speed around and still feel safe. I can get out of the way in a hurry if I need to and be able to stop on a dime! LOVE IT! This is a 2000 Corvette once we pay this beast off we are going to trade it in for a newer one! DH said I had to "learn how to drive the old corvette" before I can drive a new one! haha It took a couple weeks to get use to, the front is soo long and its kinda wide, before I drove this I was in Toyota Yaris, so its kinda of a big difference!! |

| ME ME ME!!!! I love my carbon fiber babies. My first love was my 2006 Acura RSX Type S. There is nothing in the world that can compare to my baby. Light, 4 cylinder, 6 speed manual. Fastest I ever got with it was 110 I still get teary eyed when I see a well cared for 05-06 Type S on the road. It was stolen from me Jan 19, 2007. Now I drive a 07 Honda Civic Si that my dad bought for me as a replacement with the insurance money. It's suppose to have a better engine, with better Vtech than my 06 RSX, but the bulkiness of the car and the weight difference really weighs the car down and you can't feel the spunk the engine can produce. At this point, I'm in love with my baby even if I really want more out of a car. I'll get it there even if I have to remove stuff to have it make weight. So far, the car only has tinted windows. After adding a furbaby then losing a job, I couldn't afford to put much effort into the car. I finally have it looking amazing, but completely stock. (my dad slammed his truck into my headlight) Next step will be to white out the front lights, maybe add some "angel eyes" and smoke out the rear lights. And new rims. Nothing flashy, just not the ones it has at the moment. After that.... cold air intake? Turbo? I'm not sure. It's fun to drive, but I find myself seriously addicted to this car. Anything else, like my dad's truck or my bf's mustang is just frustrating to drive. I don't think I can go back to driving automatic.

| Well, now you've hit on the one and only vice me and my husband both share...I swear, if we ever hit the lottery we would go car broke! We are addicted...we have had everything from pick-up trucks to new corvettes and a few older ones, the Chevy SSR (had 2 of those) the new thunderbird, Mercedes convertibles and sedans, Jaguar convertibles and sedans, Porsche...and the list goes on and on. I can't name the ones miss the most but one that does stick in my mind is a totally pristine 1968 Corvette convertible that was beautiful...and red...what other color is there for a Corvette?? We are currently between 'toys' (hubby wants a Viper or a Prowler but I wouldn't mind another corvette) but we have the coolest golf cart around...it's a Cadillac complete with AC, stereo with CD player and a built in cooler |

| My car in High School, was a 1963 Chevy Nova Convertable, Candy Apple Red. My father recently restored it, so of course I asked for it back and he said it will cost you $45 Grand! DARN, I want my car back... |

| I have always loved nice cars and after years of various sportscars my Patrick bought me a Mustang convertible. He gave it to me for our Anniversary in 2000 ... it is the '99 35th Anniversary edition. I have loved it all these years but we both really liked Corvettes. The 2004 was our absolute favorite model and the last year that they put the opening headlights ... a couple of years ago he bought me one! It is pristine, one owner, Torch Red with an Oak rag top. It has every gadget imagineable and a very roomy trunk. I love, love it. It drives like a dream and my favorite feature is automatically adjusting to your personal settings ... seats, pedals, etc. I kept my Mustang because I am so emotionally invested in it. I'm happy that I did because I use it for shopping, etc. and keep my Corvette in the garage.

| I love my Jeep wrangler. Its old but its paid for and only has 130,000 miles. It looks good too so. I also love it because its small and I can zip around in it

| That will by a lot of Yorkie Cloths! Being a Convert adds a lot of value. What engine was in it, or is in it now? Numbers still match? |
