So whats in your driveway? (or carpark, or in front of your house/Apartment, etc.)


Personally I drive a 95 Ford Ranger XLT Extended Cab.


Nice truck, the 4.0 liter V6 is a bit torque happy and the fact it is 2 wheel drive is not helping because, Well , its winter in Ohio.


Lets see if we can have a friendly, fun, non partisan thread


I'm really interested in hearing what you Europeans drive.

Nothing. My car broke down and I still need to go get it and fix it.

The empty slot would hold my '94 Chevy Cavalier Coupe.

91 kinda rusty Dodge Spirit with 2 different types of hubcaps because one fell off. Aw yeah.

My parents have a '98 Honda Accord LX and an '04 Honda CR-V.

88 Chevy 1500 sliverauto 5.7liter (350 CI) (bored out to a 5.9) k&n cold air intakes … racing cat converters out to 3 inch pipes with 3.5 inch tips
Supercharged 12 psi in low (off the cast iron block that’s a goodly amount)
Regular cab short box (not small)
Running at over 426 hp …

Fully loaded brushed aluminum bed rails (truck is metallic black) tinted windows

My baby :) (also essential having a 4WD living in the middle of farm country Minnesota)

My parents have an '02 Jeep Liberty and an '04 Hyundai Elantra... yeah...

What compression are you running?

Because i would think you would have to lower it to run that much boost.


I'm gonna go low key on my ranger. Not much i can do with it anyway.

And you'd need all this...why? Shouldn't it be enough that it gets you from Point A to Point B in comfort?

internal 144 pounds on the valvs (pre super charged) (just a little over stock for my engine) but new valvs and headers ... along with a new sealing head gasket make it do fine :-D (along with rings)

my driveway? Well, my parents driveway has a 1988 Chevy Truck, a 1994 Honda Accord and a 2004 Toyota Highlander. I like the truck and the Accord. Highlander is little more than a four wheel drive minivan.

I routeenly pull 8k + lb trailers (only stock rated to 9.1) I got the truck with the flashy extras ... (got it for a deal what can I say) but the performance is key when pulling a horse trailer through 6+ inches of snow at -20 F weather (miles out of neerist town)

Yes flashy but nothing smaller would do

I drive a Mercury Grand Marquis. It's an old-folks car, but it's roomy, and has plenty of power.
