Ok, bear with me. All these cars are actually mine, ie I'm still making the payments and have my name on the titles.
Eldest daughters ride: '96 Honda Accord EX V6(no name
). Leather, the works. A pretty sweet car. This pic was taken b4 my daughter moved up to Michigan and b4 the accident. I'm told that it was put together again fairly nicely. I haven't seen pics of the damage or after the fixin'. Hmmm, not sure I want to. Title and insurance will be going to her in August when my eldest son get's his license
. I can't wait to see my next insurance statement.
Younger daughter ride: '92 Acura Legend Cpe("Ack"). Leather, the works. A very nice car. First experience with an Acura AND an aluminum block. After we got it I went to change the oil and found that someone had overtightened the oil drain plug and then tried to helicoil it and finally just rtv'd it. Hmmmm, replacement pan was $400 the labor was
. Have had some a/c problems but other than that pretty nice. Come August it will go to my son for 6 months to a year. My daughter wants a newer Accord or an Audi A4...98ish.
Wife's ride: '03 Nissan Murano SL ("Scoot"). Funny story here. She was at the GMC dealer and had just driven a Envoy and called me. She wanted to buy it right there. I convinced her to go to the Nissan dealer and test drive the Murano. She called me again and said that it was the car for her. She absolutely loves the CVT. This car is smoooooooooth. I kind of wanted the HIDs and leather but she wanted fabric and no sunroof. Ok, her car so she got what she wanted. We all like the color, pewter. Scoot has been a great car but we're thinking of getting something newer. I'm trying to steer her towards a Subaru B9 Tribeca. Love the looks and the awd. The interior is stunning. Ah yes, notice the Georgia "G" plate on the front. Makes the car! Almost mandatory in my neck of the woods. Course we put it on for daughter #1....UGA grad
Finally, my ride: '97 Nissan Maxima SE 5spd ("Max", of course
). Bought him in '00 when he was 3 yrs old with 49k. He's got about 124k now and still runs great. Leather and the works, well almost. He doesn't have the cold wx package....no heated mirrors or heated seats. A bit of a rare car in that he has a 5spd. A few mods: fsb; diamond cut clears; rewired fogs; rewired side markers but nothing major. Will be putting in some H&R springs and Tokico Illuminas shocks later on this month. I can't wait for that. Oh yes, if you look you'll see the Apple sticker on the passenger window...it's good for at least 10 hp! Anyway, these cars are really "Q" cars....sleepers. They handle well. They're built extremely well and the VQ engine is legendary. Now the bad part....my son wants it. A year in Ack and I'll hand it over. I've got to start thinking of a replacement. VW R32? Audi A3? How bout a Subaru WRX STI! Wooooooo Weeeeeee!!!!!
