Renegade · Nov 4, 2012

Being that we all have motorcycles, we all understand that sometimes you just can't ride...snow, rain, very cold weather, etc.. So for fun I want to ask: What kind of car do you drive? Feel free to post pics and tell if your car is just an alternative mode of transportation or if you like to modify it and add more performance to it too.

My other ride is my 1987 Volvo 245 DL

I use it as a daily driver, hauling large stuff in the wayback, and I love to work on her. Current mods for performance include MSD Blaster Coil, Cold air intake, and adjusting everything I can under the hood to make her run better. A t28 Turbo is on the way...

My other bike. It's both my 1st Dirtbike and my first Motorcycle.
2012 KTM 300xc. 300 2-stroke with just a bit of go. :yikes:

Besides the needed items to plate it, it's mostly stock. I have added a carbon pipe guard, DID wheels wrapped with DOT-knobbies and next will be Highway Dirtbike's Hand guards with flip-in mirrors.

My Mercedes Benz Unimog. A bit to do yet, but an awesome machine, and not the common-in-the-USA 404 either. It's a 411-119, Diesel Mini-Mog. Pic is from not long after I got it.

Bodywork will be done once home is purchased and I have a garage again. But it's used where serious tugging/pulling/pushing is needed. It's a fun toy soon to be restored.

My (Almost) Daily Driver, work truck and fun on the weekend vehicle. (Also where my user name came from) 06 Chevy Silverado Duramax.

Basically stock. I will be removing some "Things" to help economy, and unlock a "Little" more HP and TQ from it. But it goes faster than most expect as it is. I love my "Cowboy Cadillac"

Oh bugger... Sad thing is that I did look for a similar thread too. Most not have looked hard enough...My apologies folks

Lupe · Nov 6, 2012

Greaser: you got a Volvo, you are my friend :thumbsup:

I had a 345 DL when I was younger.

Lone Vagabond · Nov 6, 2012

Renegade · Nov 7, 2012

Yeah, thanks Lone. And Lupe: that is f'ing awesome. If this was a car site, I'd show you some pics of the cars we own....6 Volvo's in total; spanning from '71 to '93

Only because you asked so nicely Lou. When hurricane Irene was coming towards NJ, we moved all the cars into the backyard for safety. So I was able to get this shot

Lets see...front to back... Thats 2 '71 Volvo 1800's, my Mom's '93 240, my Dad's '89 244 DL, My '87 245 DL, and my sister's '86 244 GL. Pay no attention to the '01 Jetta back there...that's the gf's car

Nice.

Have you ever thought of painting the 1800s white? If you ever go over'ome to visit Drewpy, you'll need to make a side trip up to Keswick to see the original.

drewpy · Nov 13, 2012

nice those p1800's

Renegade · Nov 14, 2012

Thanks, though I should specify... these are 1800 E's; the fuel injected version. (The E standing for Einspritz...Swedish for Electronic Fuel Injection)

Sadly, the one I want is my father's...the Safari Yellow with the M41 Manual Trans...but I would never paint it white. Even though "The Saint" is awesome..I really dont like white cars

kevingkruse · Nov 14, 2012

Well since this thread is more active then the other one, ill just post here.

I drive a '68 Datsun 510 Wagon, with only 120k miles on the original engine! This thing will run forever, never had a single problem since I bought it about 20k miles ago.

SteveM · Nov 15, 2012
