    2 cars at my house. 2002 Mitsubishi Galant, forrest green. Plenty of power from, surprisingly, a 4-cyl plant. Acceleration is weak when left in drive, but you can drag it out a helluva lot more if you cruise up thru the 5 forward gears by hand. (power band starts 3.4k, up to 5.7k, redline at 7.8k. autoshift changes at 2.9k)
    1996 Ford Windstar GL, "midnight red" - aka deep purple :D. V-8 plant with turbo. Shocks, gearbox, springs, lights, brakes, speakers all aftermarket. The previous owner installed them. It'll hit 44 in 1st gear. Tows 10 tons, weight restriction due to the hitch. But even with all this, its gone to pot. My mom nailed a loading ramp w/ it, and now the control rods in the front-right wheel are replacements (from a different model, I might add) one of the pieces of the block (1 of 3 cast sections) is replaced due to cracking and the radiator was replaced (it pierced itself with its own connections).

    Dream car: either a Seline Mustang - current year - or the Lmtd. Ed. Bullit Mustang.

    Since I'm not the oldest child in the family, and since I don't have a job, and since I'm not into cars that much, I drive the old family car. It's kinda plain, although my friends glorify it by calling it the "Pimp-mobile" just cuz I'm the driver (what does that say about their opinion about me? well I personally think i'm just a normal guy.) My brother's friends call it the "Mafia-mobile" or something, since my brother used it to drive his friends in high school. It's an '84 Chevy Celebrity, gray paint, and lots of stuff falling apart.

    I don't have a dream car since I'm not into cars, but it would be cool to have something that's actually worthy of being called a Pimp-mobile. I guess I'd match with a luxury car, like an Infiniti sedan or something. A McLaren F1 if its free (it was in a racing game a few years ago) just cuz it's so expensive. I probably wouldn't even drive it...practically a fighter jet's engine inside!

    The first two are the same car, which are Lancers. One is the Evolution, but they're both the same "model", with one being top of the line. ^_^

    The second one is an RX-7. 1990-1995, I beleive. Rotary engines........

    Haha, you're right. The front end's grill looked like a Lancer there for a second. My mistake. That's the GTO that made it into the LA Auto show, right? That was a sweet ride.

    Of course, the Lotus was sublime! ^_^

    So was the Ferarri Enzo. ^_^

    It's my brand spanking new, used Volvo 1.9 S40 ^_^.

    Yeah, it's a pretty spacious back seat. ^_^ Why? You offering to ride the back?

    Personally, the front has heated seats...I'd stay there.
