Pimp your ride thread

found a similar one.....right color and stance but slightly different wheels.



So much fun to drive.

[Wasted Memory]

We had the 325xi at one point. Was the most fun vehicle I had ever driven, not much of a car guy though. When we lived in D.C., BMW's were a dime a dozen so no big deal. Moved to small town Tennessee and you were ostracized for having one. Not many of them around and you were just treated like you were snotty for having one. Now, well...JEEPS RULE or something like that...

New ride

[Weasel]

Didnt you have that same ride in white?

[Cnasty]

Those new mustangs are pretty sweet with the new redesign.

Couldn't do yellow myself but bold move and enjoy that beast.

[shel311]

It's so yellow!!!

[OracleHCR]

It's really really yellow. I didn't think I could get a car this color but it grows on you.
It is a 50th anniversary edition with the 5.0. It is a beast.

Just got back from Tennessee

[texasfan4444]

What no drifting? Let it loose a bit.

[OracleHCR]

lol If I knew the road better I might have stretched it out a bit.

[The_Niddler]

Is this the Dragons tail or whatever it is called? Or just some country road somewhere?

[OracleHCR]

This is part of the Tail of the Dragon. 318 turns in 11 miles. I had a car in front of me for the first two miles so I cut that part out.

I have always wanted to ride my motorcycle on that.

[Uuaww]

So to put out the most Ted comment ever... I'm thinking of getting myself a Vespa.

Pink with a white wicker basket I presume.

Actually those are pretty perfect for NOLA. Well minus the pink part.

[Uuaww]

yeah, i live in uptown and work downtown so i ride my bike sometimes, but a vespa would be perfect for other days.

Go. There are a bunch of great roads to ride in that area. The Cherohala Skyway is nearby and it is beautiful and fun to ride/drive. Stay at the motor lodge at Deals Gap. When I parked at Deals Gap, I came out of the store and a bunch of bikers were taking pictures of my car.

How many here have motorcycles?

One of my dads friends has a 52-54 Harley that he hasn't rode in over 10 years. I'm thinking of trying to talk him out of it for cheap. I would have to replace the fork, he has the long raked chopper fork up front, and would like to switch it out to a belt drive and fatten the rear tire more. And of course eventually paint it. He went in with the color code and wrote it down wrong. He though he was getting a pearl white chopper and ended up being more this color, but who is going to say something to him as he is 6'9" and his brother was in the Hells Angels.

I always toyed with the idea of getting a bike, but my wife usually talked me out of it. About 5-6 years ago, I found a Ducati 999 that I loved and had the purchase lined up, then backed out right before I went to buy it. In hindsight, I'm glad that I did (2 kids, school, getting my G8 and now truck) with everything that happened since then. I won't rule out buying one in the future, but at this point, I'd probably put a boat and an older muscle car on the toy list ahead of it.
