My car was a 1984 Buick Regal Grand National (with 87 motor and drive train)

Engine- 3.8L 231ci OHV V6 SFI Injection, turbocharged and intercooled with quite a few go fast goodies. Fastest 1/4 mile ET it ran as flat 11 with stock size street tires and pump gas and that was after spinning pretty good out of the hole.

MPGs- Really dependent on your right foot, I got as good as close to 30mpg or when I couldn't keep my foot out of it, about half of that if I was lucky.

How often I filled my tank varied wildly.



Yes I did have the best possible vanity plate back when I lived in California







She wasn't a show car I was working on getting her to go how I wanted before I started on cosmetics.

Sadly my brother "borrowed it" without my permission while I was asleep and lost control trying to show off to his friends and hit a tree totaling, the second car of mine he totaled.


My car right now is a 1999 Mustang SVT Cobra (yes a true, real cobra not just a badge job)

Engine- 4.6L 281ci DOHC 32 valve all aluminum V8

MPGs- With mixed driving and not babying it gets around 22mpg but that's about as low as it goes unless you're driving the p$*% out of it, best I've gotten was about 26 all interstate doing about 85. Not too bad for roughly 420hp V8.

I usually don't have to fill her up very often and usually get roughly 250-325 miles per tank, but it does require premium.







Now keep in mind these are just the car's I've had a few trucks to throw in the mix too but seeing as I've only had about 2 hours rest in 48 hours I'm about to pass out so will post those later.

Due to 50 - 50 % weight distribution front - rear and permanent 4x4 traction, it sticks to the road like glue; and the power / weight ratio allows fast acceleration.

Starting tomorrow night, a 1990 Ford F250. Made specifically for law enforcement. 2 owner vehicle with 96,000 original miles. Roughy 5,000 on a re-built engine.

8 cylinders.

15MPG.....unloaded.

Don't know yet. But I always keep the tank full. After 25 miles or so I always hit the gas station. (Keep pumping baby )

Between 100 and 200. Depending on how much side work I'll be doing on top of my regular job.

Test driving it and doing a carfax on it today, but from what I've seen and heard of it so far, it sounds like a steal for the price I'm paying. I really hope this one works out. I usually have good judgement when it comes to getting vehicles though.....That's why I've only had 3 "full timers" in my life time. There were the ones that came and went when I was a teenager, but that's mainly because I didn't know how to take care of them yet.

Cars are like women.....take care of them and they'll take care of you.

I see this next one lasting a long time. I had my Oldsmobile for 12 years, we had a good run, but sometimes things happen that you just can't fix. Built Ford Tough isn't just an expression in my book, it's the truth. She's got a few cosmetic issues that need to be addressed, but after looking under the hood and hearing how she sounds.......she's a keeper.

youtu.be...

The only question left is.......what's the pet name for that truck gonna be?

I make no secret of my method of transport. In my opinion the Z32 300ZX is one of the finest pieces of machinery in existence. Most other Z owners agree.
Mine is a 1990 (7/89) 2-Seater Non-Turbo 5-Speed.
V6 24 Valve DOHC with variable intake-cam timing.
25-30 MPG (around 20 if your feeling aggressive)
I never fill my tank, usually keep her right around half.
2-300 miles / week. Some weeks 1000+





Shes great in the snow




Shown here with '96 Mustang GT rear wheels.

Any other Nissan fanatics?
