Here's my car...or what's left of it. I posted a bit more intact picture of it earlier on in the thread I believe.

5 years of bragging about no accidents has come back to bite me in the ass.

Well, I was checking my blindspot as I went to merge onto the highway and they guy ahead of me slammed on his breaks. I was doing 20-25 mph, and didn't even see it coming. I never even hit my breaks. My car was completely stopped by the back of his Silverado.

Good thing is, I got the interview rescheduled!!

Oh. My. God. you sir, are driving my absolute DREAM car!!

I'm only 16 (don't have a car now) however, I'll probably buy myself a 1998 Acura Integra as a first car, and when I'm about 20, i'll looking into buying a brand new Mustang.

So this might not be your traditional cool car on this thread, but I figured on a website that focuses on computers some people would be interested.

I use a wheelchair so I drive a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country Touring with an automatic ramp and about 12 computers in it. Enjoy!

(Just washed it today too!)

When you turn the joy stick left and right, the steering wheel moves in those same respective directions. If you press forward on the joystick, the accelerator is pushed down, pull back and the brakes are applied.

This digital pad controls the ignition, lights, transmission, windows, windshield wipers, and pretty much everything else that needs to be used in the car.

The last picture is of part of my audio setup. Its an 02 yukon, and yes, i know the fog lamp is crooked(just put new hella ones on) and the whole car seems to be leaning to the drivers side. I think it is a blown shock, or rusted strut.

+1 for photobucket re0sizing my images at will. Is anyone else having trouble with them?

allright a bunch of ed guys on here! I live by the company somewhat tho...so kinda biased.

I normally hate telling people this, but here it goes:

$30,000 just for the van
$20,000 for the ramp modifications
$70,000 for all of the computer equipment (the joystick itself is $40,000 :eek:)

And then theres the more menial costs like the tints and wheels (around $1500 total but makes the car look so much better!)

So, as you could probably guess, I won't be getting another car anytime soon! :D
