I use to be into fast cars myself till I did some trails with a old wrangler. I just picked up a 14 wrangler 2 months and damn I never had so much fun with cars since I started to drive. I find it way more fun to crawl some rocks or do a water crossing then to just rip it on the street. It's way to risky for the car taking it out on the track to really do some technical driving then to just hit up a local wheeling spot for technical trails.

I have just gotten into offroading a little as well. I bought a Toyota Tacoma (3ltr turbo diesel) to actually tow my race car around with, but went offroad abit with some friends recently and loved it. Since then have put a set of 2" lifted struts and springs into the front and have chased down some 32" mud tyres for it. Where I live it is mostly mud or sand for offroading. Probably buy a winch next so I can be self dependent.

Yea a good winch, good MTs and airing down to 15ish PSI can get you anywhere.

I've mostly been into motorcycles since I was a teenager but have been getting into cars as I get older. Bikes are just easy to work on, faster than cars, and a hell of a lot fun to ride. I picked up my '02 WS-6 TA a while back and my father-in-law and me are restoring his numbers matching '67 Firebird. We thought it would be cool for us to have the first and last years of the Firebird. My TA just has the standard bolt-ons. The cars only got 55k on it so I'd like to wait until it gets to 100k or something blows before tearing it down, tinkering with the internals, and swapping the rearend. This pic was from about a month ago. Fun car and definitely a head turner.

I love ws-6's and z28 / SS's some of my fav domestic rides. That gloss black is perfect on it. Nice ride.

Was my first car... I just got upset when I saw this pic. I wish I bought it out at the end of the lease. Some lucky mofo picked up my 02 ws6 with like 12k miles in 2005 when I turned it in.

I still have the front license plate cover. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Finally had some time today to clean up the new project car, whoever owned it seriously never washed it, like in a year or longer. It had sap, grime, in every possible spot, layers of it. Ended up cleaning for about 8 hrs today. Will be going into some motor work next week and cleaning up the engine bay. Plan on just going with a nice exhaust and intake with 1 piece driveshaft along with some wheels.

This ones going to be my daily driver though so nothing crazy.
