2013 Kia Optima 2.0L i4 Turbo, pack around 274 HP and 275 Pounds of torque at the crank, around 230 HP at the wheel while still maintaining a 820 clicks on a full tank and a avg of 8.6L/100 km (Canada eh?) city/highway combined.

Always loved turbocharged i4, had a subaru wrx 2008 and a dodge dart 1.6T 2011 before, just love these engines, I also had a 2009 Sierra wich I sold to my brother, V6 aren't for me, too thristy of an engine.

You win one internet for a hell of a car, best in show my Canadian friend. How is the fuel economy, unlike a lot of Americans, I'm very familiar with the metric system due to the fact that I've been out of the country plenty of times.

the fuel economy is around 8.6 litres over 100 kilometers.

That's about what my Honda gets, but you have a bit more horses under the hood than I. I have a little 2000 Accord with V-tec, it's probably pumping 200 HP. I also just realized you posted you L/100 Km in your first comment.

2006 Ford Fusion SE V6. ******* love this car so much.

I drive a 98' Ranger, only four cylinders I feel inadequate in this thread after reading everyone else's freaking monsters but hey, it gets the job done and I have a lot of memories in it so I'm still posting about it

**** , I have a tacoma, can go more places than my friends bigger trucks, and still get 23 to the gallon. Don't be ashamed of your 4banger

1990 Ford F-350. 7.3L IDI Diesel engine(Ford makes it, International shakes it), 5-speed manual transmission...and really, this picture does it so much justice. Up close the paint is just trashed. But hey, it was cheap, it runs, and let's face it, if I get into an accident, who cares?

I love manuals in full size or bigger trucks, havent gotten to drive one yet. Hows the clutch?

Fried. I may have overloaded it a wee bit during a cross-state move. She chugged along perfectly until we started hitting the hillcountry....she made it to the front yard of our new home and that was it.

But, to answer your question, it has a hydraulic clutch, so it's not as heavy as you'd expect. Easy in, easy out of gears.

2003 Bmw 325i Premium Package. Basically perfect interior, minor knicks on the outside but nothing too noticeable.

1992 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon with a TBI 350. about 200 HP and 300 foot pounds of torque. All stock except the starter.

Forgot the pic.

Good 'ol station wagon.

The only complaint I have about it is the gas mileage. **** the gas mileage.

What are you getting (guestimate)?

I'd have to say about 18 all city. Less if I dont want to look like an old man.

Is it a 4 or 6 cyl?

8.

That's about right than. You can't expect to much out of a v8, especially in the city. If it's doing worse than it used to, just check your air filter, spark-plugs, and clean your sensors. You should get a mpg or two more, and it'll just make your car perform better.

I need to replace my air filter but I just did my distributor cap/rotor and spark plugs and I clean out the throttle body every now and then.
I know its what it should be getting but thats not going to stop me from bitching about it.

I hear you, I stay on top of tune ups too. I can't really relate, my car gets 25 city and my full size v8 diesel pickup gets 18 city as well.

Im looking to store my Wagon at my buddies farm and get a Tercel Wagon with a 5 speed for the time being. Mostly for the gas mileage and the Toyota Goodness.

So I'm guessing you like station wagons a lot? I'd get a honda crx, the older ones get like 40hw, and cost a nickel. I have a 2000 accord, soo I'm sort of a fan boy so to speak. Toyota makes a hell of a vehicle as well, my first vehicle was an 03 tacoma.

I fell in love with Wagons when I was young.
Honestly after have a few Hondas on my lift I dont really want one, they are built quiet odd but they are nice cars.
Im actually a Toyota Tech, and a bit of a a fan boy.
A plus to the Tercel wagon is that is AWD and can hilariously off-road.

Honestly, I'm not much of a fan of wagons. Unless it's a wagoneer, damn do I love a wagoneer.

Wagoneers are damn sexy.
I love me a good FJ60. Not as sexy as the Wagoneer, but still one badass wagon.

Yea, the fj series are pretty nice. Something about a lifted wagon and suv looks damn good.

Are you a fellow pipeliner?

I sure hope you dont tour in that.

I feel you, I have a 04' F350, son of bitch is a monster.

Pipelining is where its at, I make a killing for being so young.

Right now, Im making about 80K a year, im always on the road though, and its physically demanding, but I do have money for whatever, I just dont see my parents or anyone that much anymore. Its all work all day, everyday.

I have a shortbed 2000 7.3, all I have is it leveled out to 3 inches, but I'm going to put 35's on it soon.

Nah, it already had clearance for 285's stock and some, I added the leveling kit with 3' up front 2' in the back. I've measured everything out, and it should fit. If not I'll just space it out a tad, and if that doesn't work I'll **** myself, sell the tires, and buy some nicer 285's. Really the ones I'm ordering are 34 inch more or less.

Are you a fellow Pipeliner?

Nope, just a country boy part time logger.

1997 Acura CL 3.0

Black, and with the Premium package: leather, heated seats, Bose stereo (stock), sun roof...

Just beautiful.

Coup or sedan?

Coupe, my friend.
6 cylinder Honda VTEC with only 113,000 on it.

Sounds like a bad ass car my friend.

That it is, man. That it is.

1997 jeep grand Cherokee loredo model straight six i love my baby but i want an all blacked out dodge charger v8(its a cop car yes im that asshole)

Chargers are bad ass. Last time I was in one, I was in the back of a cop car (getting written a ticket, not arrested).

lol

I got charged with a hit and run even though there was NO visible damage. They pulled me out of class, put me into a cop car, and made me miss my next class an hour and a half later. The ringer though is I got it dropped within a week. Made a hell of a story though.

yea it does make a story nice

01 F250 7.3 Liter Powerstroke Turbo Diesel. Stock except for the starter and alternator.

Nice, I have a 2000 7.3. Mine's pretty much stock except a starter and a leveling kit. Going to buy a catback exhaust system soon.

Just bought a 2013 Mustang GT Premium with a 5.0 Coyote 4 valve engine. 420HP, 6 speed manual, I absolutely love the thing. Under 30k too since they just launched the 2014's which are identical.

The 5.0 is an 8 cyl, not going to judge whether you read the sticker to tell me this because you could've done a lot worse and gotten a v6 mustang. Which is like owning a Solstice.

Yeah @manofbeardliness , Im pretty aware of what a V8 is, this is my 3rd Mustang, I had a 2002 SVT Cobra and a 2005 Whippled GT which were both 4.6L V8 engines, the GT a 3 valve, the SVT a 4. And yeah, @filipnocd I've read everything in the manual about the car when I picked it up.

4 Valve engine? You mean 4 valves per cylinder, right?

"Someone knows how to read the brochure."
anezay

I know where that quote is from. I've never seen anyone else like that movie except me

Here you go for getting that allusion. I love that movie.

I thought it was one of the best FAF movie

You thought right!

I have a 2001 Land Rover Defender 110, TD5 motor, serves me well and will continue to take me all over the world.

Nice. I can't remember the exact year or model, but my dad has an old 50 something land rover with a safari top. Bad little car, and will be fun to restore.

old 50's, probably a series I land rover. those things are gems.

Beautiful little thing. My dad loves collecting old vehicles (cars and trucks) and then restoring them. I do what I can, but I'm a college student studying to be an archeologist, not a mechanic.

02 f150 xlt... its served me, and my parents , for 11 years.

Nice, I have a 2000 f250 that I use for work (when I'm home).

I have a 97 Toyota Camry, the "old lady" car. I absolutely LOVE it. I have never been ashamed of it. It's my first car. :3

99 C180, I love it too

some people never understand the love people have for their first car. I thought it was silly but now that I've experienced it... oh man. I've almost lost my car twice... I wanted to cry hard both times. (Accident / engine failure)

I hear you bro, I'm lucky nothing major has gone wrong on this car yet (touch wood) other than a little rust i've had treated and cats from across the street scratching my paint...

You're lucky. It's such a pain. I hate hearing my dad tell me "you may have to get rid of it soon before it costs to much to keep up" I'm just like... w-wah? nooooo!! ITS FINE!

I could have been able to get a new-er car after it got rear ended badly but I didn't want to give it up.

Yeah I've spent more money on this car than what it's worth

Nice. My ex has the grandma-ist car possible. She had a 90 something Ford Fairmount (which she actually got from her grandma)

Haha, wow. That car screams senior citizen. The fact she got it from her gran, even better. XD

I can assure you, she hated every minute of being in it. I drove everywhere, and gave her a hard time when she drove.... Good times

Sure, she may hate it... but hey it's a ****** car be thankful you even had / have one. A FREE car for that matter.

That's what I said. It had a v8 in it so it only got 17 highway, while my accord got 28. So I could sympathize a little.

Damn, my car is a V6 but still goes faster than a lot of cars out there Although it's starting to show its age, it's saddening.

How many miles are on it?

About 105K for a 97 that's amazing. It reached 100K last year. My dad gave it to me when in 09 when it had little over 60-70K. ( I moved out, and drove... EVERY WHERE)

Do you tune it up on the reg?

I'd check your air filter then. That's always a quick fix up.
