What car have you bought home lately???

[VX KAT]

I've wanted a Camaro since I was 9 yrs old and asked my mom & dad if I could get a 1969 Camaro when I grew up! My Dad (who was a car nut...which is where the car gene obviously came from in me) was sooo proud! "Yup, that's my girl! " He also explained how model years change etc and it would be a long time....well it's been long enough (40 years!) and all that's keeping me from getting one is that little thing called.....mula! Dinero!! $$$

Yes, I'd even take this U.S. Govt issued Camaro! Maybe the repair records of GM will get better under gov't ownership! BAHHHHAAAAA!!!, oh wait, I think I just busted a gut laughing so hard!!


....but I still want one........:bgwp:

Got a good deal on her & traded in my '96 Dodge Ram w/ 140K miles back in mid-March. Runs good with 4.6L V8 rated @ 300 hp. w/ 5-speed manual. Averages all-around 24-26 mpg. Believe 28-29mpg possible with long highway trip.

Nice thing is...if too many Camaro's hassle me..I could throw on a Ken Belle SC or Rausch SC and put out 475 hp as long as I can find the mula.

I love the retro dash layout of the new Camaro, it’s to bad there won’t be a Pontiac version.

Haven't brought any cars home lately, but should have a new toy in the garage in the next couple of weeks....

I think the kids look great together.

I'm still anxiously awaiting my real reply to this thread...you all know about this:



Which came home a couple weeks ago, and there is one more on deck due to land at my crib any day now! The anxiety is making me crazy!

BTW, nice bike, Mark!

And VehiGaz, your 928 is gorgeous.

Nice!...

A friend of mine has one of these with a powerdyne (I think) centrifugal S/C...goes like a scalded dog...

I'm thankful every day for my daughter, but unfortunately it's pushed us in the opposite direction as you guys. I previously owned an Infiniti G35 coupe while my wife owned a two-door Honda Accord, but we had to give both those up when we had the baby. Thankfully I had just bought the VX so it was easy to make the argument to keep it based on the fact that we'd take a beating if we had to resell it after only a couple months.

I use the VX as my daily driver, but work is only 5 miles away so it's no biggie. We bought a 2004 Isuzu Axiom (direct injection engine with 2wd/4h/4l tranny - would love to have that in my VX) a few months ago for about 10K with 78K miles on it, but you'd never know it as both the paint and interior are immaculate. Just like with my VX, the Axioms are now so rare that people often ask us if it's a new model.

I just picked up a 03 Z4. I figured I needed something special for my 40th birthday

I bought the VX as a weekend vehicle, something that is fun to ride in everyonce in a while.

Indeed, Andy! Nice choice! And Happy Birthday to my fellow 40-year-old CT VXer!

I brought this home a few weeks ago...



2000 Toyota Yaris SR. 1.3 litres of slightly tweaked Japanese compact goodness that returns over 35mpg even with my heavy lead foot.

I needed something that wasn't guzzling the fuel at the same rate the VX does (ie not a Bentley...) and that was cheap to run and insure (<£20/service doing it myself and £145/year TPFT!) and could be relied on when I have 5:30am starts...

I've had 3 Yaris before this one so it was a bit of a no-brainer!
