I...don't actually own a car right now. Saving up for something special. Aside from bikes, what do you guys have in your stable?

The Tundra is nothing to look at, so I'm sure you guys can do way better in this thread. Especially interested in Italian exotics.
 
well no cars, but my baby. 2010 Ford Raptor SVT. 6.2L 400+HP Banks Catback exhaust, AFE stage 2 Intake, 5 star tuning Performance tune. its my towing rig/ daily driver
 
2012 BMW 550 M Sport and my wife's car is a 2102 Acura TL SH-AWD. I was big into Corvettes for quite a while. My last was a 2009 ZO6. I sold it last year because it sat too much while I was out riding.

Sweet! Those Raptors can actually be modded/lifted effectively, unlike my '12 Tundra, which I found out about too late. Deal was too good to pass up but I'm stuck driving the fragile princess of pickups. :(
 
Had an IS-F for a few years before ditching it for a Tundra+Ducati. Fun car but those brembo rotors never lasted 8K mi. It could take a solid deer hit though...

The body shop billed my ins. co. for "hazardous waste removal" because the deer's intestines were stuck in the airbox LOL
 
I love my raptor.. I don't plan on lifting mine. I really like the stance it has right now with the fax racing shocks and 35's but to each ya know!

2010 Evo X MR-Touring

Stock motor with all the bolt ons, bigger turbo and cams, custom surge tank, Ohlins R&T Coilovers on E-85 100% of the time. 445whp 392tq mustang dyno.
 
My other toy when not riding the Panigale, no belts or front screen, I tell people it's the next best thing to riding a motorbike, with the wind in your face, 650hp at your foot and real fun to drive!!!!!!

Any one else see the new Car & Driver magazine editorial on how motorcycle and car guys are not mutual? There is a picture of a Panigale in the article. They say motorcycle guys don't care about cars and vice-versa. That could not be more false for me. I am a huge car nut since the mid 60's, and a huge motorcycle nut since '71. I was even big time into boats for 15 years before I realized I couldn't afford the boats I had.:eek:
 
Used to love sports cars and had a bunch, started riding a n d have a lmost zero interest in c a rs now. I don't even own one now
 
i still have a 944S2 in germany, over here just a 2004 Escape XLT with 174k miles.just enough to haul a small trailer around and throw the MTB on the rack...
oh, and a '75 benz 230 to work on.



not really interested in cages though. drove a new X3 (335i) and a camaro ZL1 lately, quite nice, but no thrills.

Agreed. I too am big into cars. Started in the late 90's with a civic and did the hot import nights car shows and then had a yukon denali with the dub magazine car show scene. Always was into looks and not into performance. Now that I'm 34, my evo is strictly performance even though it has a little bit of show with the wheels but it is prepped for the track in mind first. The Evo is by far my fav car I've owned. Such a thrilling ride. Have yet to track the bike but I'm 50/50 on my car n bike hobby.

Is that the Evo from a Top Gear episode where it kept up with a Lamborghini Murcielago (costing 6x as much) lap after lap around the test track? Nice!
 
Blurry... But I like my visceral toys... And a gas saving daily...

Thanks. 2008 Superleggera. Only 172 ever made to North America. I tried the newer LP560 / 570 but didn't like how easy they were to drive. I prefer a visceral and raw experience... as it's not my daily driver.

Ya know, bang for your buck factor, there's no other car like an evo in terms of performance. Evo X is a heavier ..... than the IX (due to all the safety features) but its Awesome handling allows it to hang with almost all sports cars on the track. With the right tires, it is nearly impossible to break traction. I rode passanger in a friends evo x around the track at buttonwillow and nearly .... my pants. Glued on rails is what it felt like.
 
bang for the buck track car, I preferred my GTR over my EVO9... but all amazing machines!
