Decided to make a tidy little thread for everything!
I tend to have a number of vehicles because I find some pretty good deals; plus cars and bikes are my hobby, but I'd never be able to afford them if I didn't buy smart!

I have my $300 Rallycross car, which is a 1988 Nissan Sentra I bought at auction. It had a leaking, busted radiator because the old coolant lost its' freeze protection. Luckily it was so low that it did not damage the block. Flushed out the gunk, new radiator, water pump, thermostat and hoses and car was running and driving with nice warm heat for a total investment (including buying the car) of $470.

I have four events done with the Sentra thus far, and I did my first event in the Versa while I was repairing the Sentra. Buying the car, fixing it, buying new parts, registration, inspection, entry fees for events and gas and I have spent just under $1000 so far. Not too shabby! 2nd place in the Versa, and three 2nds and a 1st in the Sentra and I'm 2nd in championship points right now in SF.

My '84 Vanagon running on a Subaru EJ22 motor swap, have owned this since I was 15, will be 21 this year. Lowered 3'', four-speed manual (Stock VW transaxle with Kennedy bellhousing adapter), Mercedes AMG wheels.

'08 Nissan Versa, 6-speed manual. Fun little car, rock solid reliable and 32-36mpg all the time. Handles phenomenal in the summer with the 17'' Sentra SE-R wheels and Yokohama rubber bands, and handles even more phenomenal in the winter with OEM 15'' steels and General Altimax Arctics.

'75 Kawasaki H1 500 Triple, manliness embodied in a purple motorcycle that sounds like a million angry wasps running into a blender powered by a chainsaw. Gets 15mpg, smokes like a bastard but it's all okay because it's sex on wheels.

'09 Yamaha Zuma 125, off-road capable and great on the street. 80-100mpg and still goes 55-65mph. Fun little gas saver.

Wanagon has nice plates! :cool:
 
Quite the impressive fleet you have there.
 
The W126 420SEL is your dad's right?

Also :lol: @ 15 MPG Yammy

The more I see your Versa, the more I would love to get one, they seem so peppy and the SE-R wheels look great.

The Versa is truly a great little car, I wouldn't ever want one with an automatic but with the standard it's fantastic!

The 420SEL was a car my dad and I went halves on, we owned it for about a year and sold it for what we bought it for. Not a bad ride at all!


Went camping! Used a tarp to connect my van to two tents for an epic camping fotress!

I wouldnt wish an auto Versa (Tiida here) on anyone, it's so terribad, we had a rental one, at 100km/h it just gives up, it doesnt really go any faster, it just gets louder :|

Yeah exactly, a friend of mine has one with an automatic they bought after loving mine so much. They love theirs, but they don't see cars the way I do so I can't stand the way an automatic Versa drives.
 
Fog lights. Keeping it classy!
