My passion of almost 2 years had to go so soon, it was a 2006 Lincoln Navigator Ultimate [Limited Edition]. It had everything. It felt great to drive it, I very rarely saw another Limited one.
[snip]

Then came the Tahoe. Actually, I love my 'hoe. It's a 2008 LTZ with everything but the power-running boards and extra chrome wheels...which my 2006 Navigator Limited Edition had...it will be missed...

[snip]


Oh well. Maybe next time will be the new Navigator, if they ever change the gaudy front end. Only reason we didn't get one.

Im looking into getting a tahoe, does the 4 speed transmission really effect the driving experience at all?

5 speed manual.

basic bolt on's, nothing major to the mustang.
Mac offroad pro-chamber midpipe
bassani catback
accufab plenum and 75mm throttle body
mgw short shifter
H&R Supersport springs
Tokiko blue shocks/struts
maximum motorsports caster/camber plates
maximum motorsports full length weld in subframe connectors

next mods will be gears and cobra front brakes


the truck is the one with all the real money/mods in it ;)

Very nice mod list there. If I was to get one, I'd probably just do a few subtle appearance mods, an exhaust, and a short shifter.

For the record, I like the Mustang better than the truck. :p

I'm not a truck person, though, really. :cool:

1977 Datsun 280Z. Had if for over 4 years now and I'm itching to get a C4 Corvette, but I sure would hate to part with the Z.
Keep da Z! Awesome cars... Hopefully my aunt will sell me hers in a few years... maybe when I'm out of college. Here is her pristine condition 1980 280ZX:

I miss my old Concorde...:

Nonetheless, my LHS has grown to fill her shoes:

Next car will be a 2005-2008 300C... But I will keep the LHS for a while, assuming it stays in good mechanical order.

How do you like the mini..especially coming from something previous with horsepower. Zippy? No regrets?

My old 5.0 94 Mustang GT was not huge on the HP anyway, so the Mini Cooper S, thanks to the turbo and weight, matches the HP, is faster to 60 and is faster in, round, and out of corners...

No regrets what-so-ever. I still have my Mustang also...

The Camaro is in production. The LSX engine never went out of production, it only got better, the LS7 and LS9 are leaps and bounds better than any Ford Engine made for any Shelby Mustang/Ford GT. The Camaro gets the LS3 I believe.

No Ford Production Mustang/Ford GT can touch this car:

Please tell me your not comparing a $25K Mustang to a $125K Corvette ZR1? And no the Camaro isn't in production and hasn't been for about 6 years now, the new one is a 2010 model. The Camaro/Firebird were always great performing cars but way too much for what they were trying to be(The GTO comes to mind). And there going to do it again with the new Comaro, whos gonna spend 35K on a Camaro when they can get a new C6 Vette for $40K.

I hope GM learns from there mistakes and makes the Camaro more affordable because being a muscle car fan I'd like to see it stay around for awhile.

Can you not read? I did say Any FORD GT, Ford GT was $125K. Yes the ZR1 is King. :rolleyes:

Yea I can read perfectly fine, thanks for asking...

Anyway, nothing can touch the ZR1 it's the fastest production car in the world. I don't even like Corvettes, but there's no denying that the Z06 and ZR1 are beasts.

i'd like to see it after the suburban in the back crashed into it :p

The new Mini has a five star Euro NCAP safety rating. I'm surprised that Americans still think along the lines of "it's small, so it must be unsafe".

I personally don't think it's a small car. It's at the VERY high end of the supermini market and I'd be inclined to categorise it with medium sized cars like the VW Golf and Ford Focus.
