Not that anyone cares or hasn’t seen it yet.
Technically it’s a hand me down from my dad – yet it’s still his. I’m just driving it and pimping the stereo out while he uses his other SUV and truck.
I’ve spent about $1,500 on the audio so far.
Pioneer avic f700BT head unit, double din touch screen navi, usb, 3.5mm, SD, backup camera, bluetooth.
To install this in the jimmy, I had to cut out all the plastic behind the head unit. It’s not very hard, just takes a lot of time and patience.
I still need to make a trim for it, as the insides of the dash are showing.
I might just put some thick plexiglass or lexan and some led’s behind it. The head has selectable backlighting which I might match behind the head unit.
Polk audio marine rated 40w rms @ 4ohms DB461 4×6″ 2-ways in the dash.
50w rms @ 4ohms DB561 6.5″ 2-ways in the front doors.
Both (or one pair by themselves) really provide a much, MUCH better front stage clarity than the stock mids on the head unit.
Powering them is an old school Rockford Fosgate 4080dsm which I picked up for $40 a few weeks ago and got a free box along with it.
My subs are a fairly beat up pair of old school audiobahn 12″s in a dual individually sealed audiobahn box. I have read that this combo was factory only, and the subs were not sold by themselves. Each side of the box is sealed for one sub, so if you play only one, or have only one sub, it will sound the same. They hit hard, and are reliable. I picked the subs + box up for $50.
I have a JL audio 12w3v3-4 12″ 500w RMS sub in a custom ported box built to spec for the sub which ran me about $350 total sitting in my room because I would rather use the shitty subs.
Powering either one is a Rockford Fosgate Punch 500-1 (P500-2) dual channel amp. I set the gain half way and the bast boost all the way off.
I have ran 4awg to the rear seats, and used a fused distribution block to each amp. I recently moved it from the back of the fold down seat protector thing so that I can use the entire cargo area as well as preventing the wires from pinching every time I fold the seats down.
If the pictures work the way I think, the last uploaded should go to the bottom, even after I uploaded 4 pictures.
The only mod I’ve done to it is a billet grille for the front.
We just had AT tires put on because the radials were cracking (well over the estimated mileage, and still had plenty of tread).
We also had the front end redone (bearing, ball joints, or some other shit) I don’t notice it at all.
The power steering seems to be a bit rough. Maybe it’s going out or needs fluid.
I looked the vehicle up on fuelly, and it gets 15-20 mpg which is terrible.
Processing your request, Please wait....

after looking at my truck, a complete stranger once said ” there’s something wrong with you.” he might have had a point.

This is me in my ride- a 2005 STi. Some of my friends nicknamed it White Power, cause it’s white, and fast. I don’t usually tell people that though. o_O

This is my everyday ride, rain or shine. Not as big and comfy as Storminator’s, but I love it.

Meet Zoolander.
2009 Ford Focus. First “new” car I’ve ever had. Everything before was a clunker hand-me-down.
Why do we call it Zoolander? Because it’s BLUE STEEL.

I painted this. I used it to tear up the tank trails on Fort Richardson, Alaska. I got stuck down range on an artillary field one time. I ended up blowing the engine getting un-stuck. LOL Anus clenching adventure.

I typically only drive the FJ to work when it rains. I use it for transporting gear to the firing range, camping and trail blazing. I mix up what bike I ride on dry days (saves on gas, its 4 bucks a gallon here!). The Ninja-250 gets awesome gas mileage, still can do 0-60 in under 6 seconds and will reach around 100mph if needed. The Buell (’07 XB9R) is all torque and little weight. It’s great for canyon carving and in general a blast to ride. The Harley (’05 Fatboy) is all comfort, especially for longer rides.

My pair of Red Chillies, as promised.
Don’t persecute me for taking this shot off a warm-up wall.
PS: I don’t own a car at the moment, but my chillies come quite close.

’97 Corolla I bought in Feb 2001 w/ 33K on it; since put 100K more on. Fucking things’ll run forever.
Title’s the factory name for the color, which I’m forced to continually swear IS the original coat to many an associate, who’ve accused me over the years of subtle pimpage…riiiight.
At least the wife likes it, and does a little dance while singing the name.
Don’t know why I bothered with the plates –those were the old MA ones, which is where it’s parked in these pics (southwest-suburban Boston area.) They’ve got NY ones now.

Long time MCS watcher (2007 or so), first time poster.
Depending on weather / passengers I use one of the two or the POS Toyota not pictured (winter use mostly).
First pic is my fun car (’97 6-Speed Z51 Corvette) next to my son’s fun car (repainted barbie Corvette).
Second is the family hauler (05 Denali) with travel trailer hooked up.

In February I gave up on my ’98 Civic as its breaks were going and I was tired of putting money into it. So, I got myself a nice yuppie car.
Power everything, heated leather seats and 190 horses, bitches!
(whatever, I’ll be able to comfortably fit a baby seat in it)

Attempting to keep with the current theme I have included a picture of my bike. Honda VTR1000F with blue flame exhausts (very loud). I’ve also got a technoflex rear shock and ktech springs in the front.
Oh and the sign in the background says ‘No Motorcycling’.

I took this pic in the car park, after a long days work. My ride is always pleased to see me, it does a little horse wheely – and its horn glows. Bloody MOT is coming up and my emissions are terrible.
