bmwpower that Rouch 500R is awesome. Where do you live, i am going to come and steel it heheTrulli = King!

I live out here in California, USA. There's a bunch of hippies running around trying to make the state more "green", our president ( ) just passed the CAFE ACT, by 2020, manufacturers must meet an average of 35mpg, but it goes into effect 2012 and it increases to 35mpg by 2020. Sadly, a lot of manufacturers are already talking about going back to 4 or 6 cylinders so we can be more "green". My Roush average between 8-10mpg, its a fun car and yes those hippies in hybrids do give me dirty looks.

Hehe well if you buy a small car that is more green it will cool the country down. but 90% want a warm climate. bmwpower, piss them off and buy a Hummer aswell

to save up some cesh, it really was sad seeing it go! but its quite funny actually a girl on her Provisional license bought it off me and she still hadnt really learnt manual yet gave her a lecture on taking it easy as this was no mere Hyundai plus learning to use the clutch which was basically on or off would have been hard for her but i have kept in touch with her and the car and herself are still in one piece so she is doing ok

What is it with Australians? Too many cannot drive manual therefore cannot drive. In Italy, Slovenija, Croatia and basically all of Europe even Grandmother can drive manual. Just hope this girl is not a lead foot like me, not until she grasps full control of her new beast first.

Here it is, Roush 500R (475RWHP) with the Trak Pack Suspension, it rides rough on the streets but at Sears Point or Laguna Seca, its magic. The only downside to it is that I get about 8 mpg, its really really loud and my neighbors hate me for coming home late at night.

What a beast. Nice car. FORD IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GM IS CRAP. I love Saab and hate the fact the GM owns them fully. Why can't it be Ford??????????????????????????????????????????/

I know you're trying to make me feel better, but that's not mine so it didn't work.

I drive a '98 Acura Integra and a '03 V6 Nissan Xterra.
The V6 kills me at the gas station, but my wife hates the Integra... she says it feels like Karting because its too low and corners really sharp. Plus the intake and exhaust makes it too loud fo her past 5,500 rpm... Go figure

[Selcouth_Feline]

she says it feels like Karting

And that's a bad thing???

Thought perhaps I could resurrect this thread as I'm sure there are a few more members that could contribute to it! Mine's nothing special, but I love it, and it drives and handles really well. 2001 Hyundai Coupe Gen 2 2.0L SE. The Gen 2 was always my favourite of the various body shapes, and I loved it when it first came out but of course I couldn't afford one back then, so a year or so when one came up at a good price with a low mileage I just decided to buy it! I know a large number of you will have much more impressive cars, but I wouldn't have anything else right now. anyway, here are a few pictures:











Hopefully a few more will share some pics now too!

I drive a very exciting 2002 Ford Focus 2.0L; I also drive a 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier 2.2L 2dr Coupe when I don't have the kids with me!!! Neither are inparticularly quick; the Chevy makes a better noise that the Ford, the auto gearboxes are the biggest issue in both cars, put your foot to the floor and it takes 2 - 3 second to react!
