post pics of your OTHER, just as REAL, car(s)

[Benedict]

like most people I bought a Yaris to be practical. Honestly I hate the damn thing but for A to B transportation on a budget you can't beat it. I hate riding stock soft sprung shit so I may get coilovers and wheels eventually but modifying one of these just seems pointless and retarded at this point.

No Yaris discussions at all. Post pics of your REAL car and why you think it's bad ass.

Since I was 16 I've had a Z31 300ZXT. Here's the current one. still a work in progress as always. Got into drifting after purchasing the car. Decided to stick with this platform instead of buying an S-chassis since it gets kinda old seeing them filling the pit at every event.

This is my other car. But now my yaris has became my main car. Since the heater core went out its been in my garage for six months. Waiting till summer time im going to do a bypass. Or if i have the time i may change it but its going to be a very frustrating few nights.

[YarisSedan]

Oh and i was kinda in the same boat as you when i first got my yaris. I was like ho hum. Then after the sway bar i was like hmmm my car just became enjoyable to drive. Then after the trd springs and tie bars it really became fun. The ride is a little harsh at times so compared to my legend a luxury car theres a difference but when i want to go out and take some quick turns and zip around the yaris is the way to go.

My acura has been my project car for awile and i have dump thousands of dollars into it modding it and restoring it but now my yaris has taken its place.

ok..here's my REAL car..one and only..WTH?

No kidding.

[tuckevalastin]

I don't have a problem at all with this thread... the Yaris is the kind of car that people buy as a reliable daily driver while keeping other less economical and reliable cars for fun. I'm sure there are lots of people here with other cars they cherish more.

[Thirty-Nine]

Sure thing; I have no problem with that. However, it just seems like an in-your-face first post that kind of bashes the car so many of us really do like. Oh well; forum semantics.

[redyaris]

This thread explains why drifting has the lousy rep it so richly deserves.

I can see why you picked a 300zx for this 'competition'. I guess ass bloated cars are good for this sort of thing. How much weight do the Camaro-esque T-Tops add?

[Crandall]

Too much work into this thing. It'll be nice when it's back and can be driven again.

This WAS my real car, but it wasn't all that great in the winter. It was fun to drive, and it was fun to build: I DID build it myself...

[Benedict]

exactly my point. Share pics of cars you are passionate about and tell why that car.

yes I am an in your face type person. if you have thin skin oh well.

drifting has a bad rap because everyone thinks it's competition based. bullshit. it's about having fun and pushing your limits. add to that for some reason everyone thinks it's soooo easy they go out and wreck their mom's accord leaving the news saying nothing but "drifting accident blah blah"

joined the forum to see if the car had any potential to not suck in the fun/enjoyable to drive area.

econobox owners getting defensive about someone "bashing" their beloved car? come on.

uh yeah what do you expect?
this is a fan club... I think if you hadnt of worded the thread so poorly you wouldnt have the whole forum out to get you right now???:iono:

[SIPNGAS]

:bs: I *am* passionate about my Yaris. I defend it, (it's fun to drive personality, it's fuel economy, it's handling in the snow, it's cargo space..) ALL the time to my coworkers.

[YAR1S]

btw, does jville mean jacksonville as in near the border of SC??
my brother just recently bought a 85' 300zx.... in mint condition....
its so beautiful.... those cars were top of the line in the 80's I guess! Especially with the talking voice that lets you know if your lights are on, so futuristic! :p

[Benedict]

jville jacksonville yes
camp lejeune

bitchin betty was all the rage back then, but it was the 80's...

your brother is lucky to have found a clean unmolested one.

[tuckevalastin]

I would add some pics to the thread but dont have any good ones since my other cars are all still in project stages.

1969 Camaro SS (completely restored bodywork and paint.. no interior or engine restoration to date)
1969 Corvette (about a 10 year old restoration that is desperately in need of a redo)
1995 Dodge Intrepid (from my first daily driver to my cheap but fun project)



I like American Muscle!

What's with the Ferrari sign? ehe

[jclo3313]

wtF?
Sure I have other cars, none more or less real than any other. Are you sure that you want to belong to a group that is dedicated to a car that you feel and I quote, "Honestly I hate the damn thing"? Wow dude.:thumbdown:

[tuckevalastin]

Looks like there are some nice cars (non Yaris that is) tucked away in some Yarisworld members' garages.

[mikenacarato]

the ferrari looking sign is actually just a joke. instead of the horse and ferrari it says volvo and has a moose on it lol.

[eTiMaGo]

love the volvo :biggrin: One of our neighbors has a real nice wagon (850 i think ,the last of the real "bricks"), in a deep bronze with gunmetal wheels. I'll have to try and take snaps!

As for this original thread... I took the liberty of changing the title somewhat.. Our cars are not figments or our imagination, unless we all are smoking some really potent stuff...

[mikenacarato]

thanks etimago..i wanted an 850 but its hard to find on in good shape

Well, I have to say I am just SOOOoooo happy for you that you have other cars to "cherish".
It always amazes me how people assume that everyone will have their luck/money/desire to own two cars/whichever. And that anyone not willing or able to follow suit is somehow lacking in common-sense/machismo/b@lls/whatever. Get over it.
Please don't assume that I share your prejudices.
I have a Yaris. Period. And I cherish it. I don't WANT another car.
Thin-skinned? If that's how you want to look at it, yeah. Why not?

[jclo3313]

soooo... you hate your Yaris but you joined Yaris World?
Is there a no 300Z World for you to join?

Never said it was my car but once it'd done being paraded around North America it's home will be in the garage next to the 350Z.

I have re-read your comment, and I do see your point. Kinda, maybe.
However, if that is what you call an "attack"....

[CtrlAltDefeat]

np guess I should have quoted him... :biggrin:

[tuckevalastin]

My only points were that lots of people have other cars that they enjoy alot and that the Yaris is a great car to use as a daily driver. That is not meant to, nor should it, offend anyone. Therefore, I don't see any reason for a heated response like the one you gave.

Aside from that, I agree that many people only NEED and WANT one car. And I also think that the Yaris would work perfectly in that situation for alot of people too. We don't all have the same needs in a car which makes us all have different feelings for our cars. Just because someone has a differing opinion about their own car doesn't mean they are prejudice towards you.

No need to be uncivil! :respekt:

[SailDesign]

<SNIP>

No need to be uncivil! :respekt:

Methinks we have different definitions of "uncivil". I know I wasn't exactly polite, but I wasn't impolite either. Maybe we should just agree to disagree and leave it there.

[Benedict]

wow, this thread is now pointless.

4 pages of argument over what?

oh right...you drive an econobox and think it's cool. I drive an econobox because it's...economical.

and now you're all butt hurt because I'm open about the fact that this car is not "inspirational" and wanted to see what cool, unique cars other econobox owners have stashed away. By using my own ride to get the ball rolling we have a bash fest of "nissan shrine" and "dumb drifter" comments.

this forum has shown it's ass. Peace...
