Since JSP doesn't allow more than 3 pictures a post I figure I'll save people the scrolling...Unless you want me to post a picture of one of them.

Edit: Changed my mind about pics. Found some good ones.

Jeep Crash

260



MGB



Infiniti

Only picture I have uploaded of the f250

The box has mahogony plywood sides over a metal box, to class it up. This was during a parade for a local Sailing School I teach for.

Mini



280zx



(you can see the 250s box in the last picture, granted it endured 2 hard winters since the first pic, notice the wear)



I can't find pictures of the XC70 and the Ranger. I may snap some pictures of hard copies later.

And I won't post any pictures of my 240. As I hate to beat an already dead horse.

Not really going to bother posting pictures of them, but here's a list of vehicles I have personally owned:

2006 Mercedes E500 (first car)
2006 BMW 330i
2007 BMW X5
2008 Lotus Elise
2008 Mercedes E63 AMG
2008 BMW 335i
2009 Mercedes GLK550
2010 Ducati Multistrada 1200S (current)
2011 Mercedes SLK350
2011 Mercedes G55 AMG
2013 Volkswagen Golf TDI (current)
2013 BMW M3 (current)

I generally do not own any vehicles for more than 2-3 years, and always have at two or three at a time, hence the overlap in years. Most were purchased new, only a couple were used. I currently own the M3, Ducati, and VW.

I've always loved the Datsuns, aesthetically. They're a rare car to see anymore.

And 0berst I'm jealous of your Lotus Elise (Along with everything else). I vowed I'd own a Lotus. Call me crazy but I prefer the mid 90's Esprit's sharp design over the more rounded Elise, although the speed deference is dramatic I'm sure. I guess because it reminds me of the Ferrari F40 or the Lamborghini Countach minus the giant engine. And I want to drive around and pick hookers up like in Pretty Women.

You couldn't much tell from my car wrap sheet but I'm a fan of older unique cars, behind each time I was making a decision to trade a car, I was looking at something out of the ordinary. A few times I almost bought this: (Not this exact one of course)




1987 Shelby Charger

It resemblance the Foxbodys I love some much. It doesn't make near the power with it's 2.2L turbo inline 4 but I do like the look. Some may like the Dodge Omni a bit more but to me it looks like a VW Rabbit. And don't forget about the GMC Typhoon, that's another good one.

traded my 2004 suzuki swift that snapped the timing belt on the highway+1000$ for a 1999 cavalier z24
the only car trade i did
afther the cavalier i bough my mazda wagon and then the chevy van, still own those last 2

Haha, funny story in relation to picking up hookers: a few years back when I still had the Lotus, I was getting gas really late one evening--probably 1 or 2am. While I was pumping, the guy in a van next to me asked if he could take a few pictures in front of my car with "his girls". I said sure, and out popped three (or four?) chicks. Turns out the dude was a porn photographer and he took a bunch of pics with half-naked girls on my car.

It was fun, but I'm a pretty tall guy for such a small car. I was never really comfortable in it.

That's pretty damn awesome, I had a not so glorious story but kinda similar. This is when I had my first car, I was following a friend back to his new house one night, he had moved out of town and I wasn't familiar with the area but it was a little ghetto. As I was following him back he makes a light as it turns yellow, and I can tell by the way this dumbass is driving he hasn't realized I'm not behind him anymore...So I pull my phone out to dial his number and out of fucking no where my passenger door opens and some rando commando middle aged blond hooker gets in my car and shuts the door, at the same exact time the light turns green, now at this point with nobody around I'd be so inclined to say something like "What the fuck are you doing? Get the fuck out of my car" but before I could finish my broken sentence of initial shock, a car pulls up catty-corner to my current location, and it couldn't just be any God damn car, it was a fucking police car....The problem at this point is I don't know if the Police officer seen this bitch get into my car but I was pretty sure he hadn't, so I had to make a decision, either A. Cause a seen by kicking this bitch out of my car at a green light or B. Drive away casual as fuck....I went with B. The hooker and I sat in dead silence crossing the intersection. I continued in silence watching my rear view, praying he wouldn't follow me, I tried to put some space between me and him just in case but then I seen those recognizable head lights in the distance...He's following me, my anger for this hooker was overcome by the fear of going to jail and I had to formulate a plan. I proceeded to tell her that I didn't want her in my car, she's yapping about strikes and going back to jail (Guess she had drugs on her). I decide I'm just going to pull into some random ass driveway and she's going to get out and walk up like it's her house. She's concerned about walking back and I tell her I'll take her back if the cop goes past and everything is cool (LOL YEAH FUCKING RIGHT), I pull into a random driveway, she goes to get out and she drops her lighter but continues on, the cop passes, she gets to the front door, and I put my car in reverse and leave the bitch screaming and yelling, turn back onto the road, and I'm gone.....Well to this day I still have the lighter and it turns out the house I dropped her off at was my friends neighbor, I still go the back way to his house.

shouldve made them take a pic with you posing and shit lol.
