Not a car, but one of my current rides:

My ride is an '03 Ford Expedition. I've lowered it 3" all the way around, tinted the tails and 3rd brake light, installed HID headlights, tinted windows and put 22" Ford wheels on her. She's my baby.

Picked it up 1/15.

2014 Ingot Silver Ford Raptor.

Took it out on the parent's property to get her acquainted with the dirt.

This thing is extremely fun to drive on muddy roads.

Getting hit by a Ford Explorer resulted in this and a nice trip to the hospital for me. Don't worry, I'm very mostly alright, and I'm not looking for sympathy or anything! I'll post up what I get since this was declared totaled.

I have to say it doesn't seem like it should be spelled "Bimmer" if you pronounce it "bee-mehr"
One would not pronounce "Bimmer" as "Beamer"... ;-) That would mean one has a disconnect between brain and mouth.

Bimmer vs Beamer/Beemer


Either way, some teaser shots of what my "old as heck bimmer" will be sporting:

Seeing all these 'bimmers' got me all nostalgic and stuff.

My old E36 M3 put 400+ to the wheels.

My Evo was putting that much at low boost. Didn't get it dyno'd at high boost.

I'll probably put a supercharger on my Raptor. I can never leave well enough alone. I'm a car enthusiast that loves to mod.

I finally bought my first car (22 yrs old) ! It's a "few months old" 2013 Renault Mégane with 2982KM on the clock as we speak!

It should be able to pick it up in two weeks!:p

Super excited! Getting this in a couple days :) My current vehicle needs some work done to it, and I seem to be just putting more and more money into it, so Im picking one of these up. (Obviously this isn't the one I'm getting, the one I'm getting is identical though)

A family member has one, and no one likes it. The seats are terribly uncomfortable, steering so vague its difficult to drive straight, while the only thing going for it is its reliability so far. Either way, if you enjoy it, congrats! I do find it a convenient car when given the chance to borrow it for my Costco runs...

I quite liked driving it (buying it from a family member), I wonder if something is wrong with their car. I always found ours very comfortable and (for an SUV) quite nice to drive.

Wow that Evo looks huge compared to the M3.

Hah!

It does!

Must be the weird angle I was standing when I took that picture.

Took the Raptor on an extended trip and averaged 17 mpg. Much better than I thought I would get. With the tank capacity I should get around 480 to 500 miles per tank. With my external tanks filled I can get almost 1000 mile range.

Glad you're okay. Think you're gonna get a new VW?
