Tubenet Rides

Post by Matt G »

Okay, we've danced around this in the past.

Any of you guys have pics of your rides you want to show?

I know Sean should have a sweet GTi from the stickers I remember seeing on his one flight case.

Leland has a Civic-Si with some mods.

Here is what I have:

Wife's car (2003 Jetta WE 1.8T)

She wants no mods...

Image

My car (2006 A4 Avant 2.0T)

18" Wheels and tires to follow the winter. Maybe some suspension work. Chip might happen in a few years.

Just want to see how you fellow tubenetters like to roll...

No pictures, but here goes anyway.

1992 Dodge Dakota
regular cab (traditional truck)
4 cylinder (a little slow)
2 wheel drive (more traditional truck stuff)
over 167,000+ miles and still going strong
commercial cap with ladder racks, fits all of my tubas, string bass and hauls stuff. The cap is shorter then the bed, so I can still tailgate (oh, the wonders of a pickup truck!).

Not fancy; but it is mine, it is paid for and it fits my personality. My wife also likes the truck.

A man and his truck, its a beautiful thing.

By the way, something a little strange is going on when I try to load your picture - keeps asking me for msn login info.

Sweet....

I'm 5 years into my '70 Coupe DeVille. Was just getting into the body wok, when the oil pump quit. Now that the engine rebuild is done, I have had time/cash for body work again.

The trunk lid is the correct color. Nothing else is, yet

Some photoshop guy help me out, please. If it's stuck in my head, everyone should have to see it too.

2000 Ford Escort ZX2 - fun little car, I want to lower it and get into autocrossing with it. I think it would be fun to run it. It won't win much but I should have a good time. Good points are, my tuba fits neatly behind the passenger seat, it gets 30 mpg and I own it!

I also just bought a mid-life crisis "vehickle" a red 2003 BMW R1150R

I am going to see if I can post a pic.

I did that 5 or 6 years ago (was a 250cc scooter, actually). I sold it once the excitement was passed by the reality that people don't see 'cycles. My backroads included a stretch of a 45 MPH 5 lane (center turn lane) that people (?) would routinely drive 60+ on. :shock: The random summer afternoon thunder storms just helped to lock in the decision to quit. I understand the appeal, though,

Well, I'll tell you:
