I purchased a new Subaru WRX last year and it is the funnest car I have ever owned. With the all-wheel drive and turbo it is a blast to drive. It is like it is on rails when it turns a corner, I cant seem to get it to slide or wobble even at high speeds. The six speed manual is an absolute must for this car. The Subaru WRX is also a great family car and it fits my kids well in the back seats. I have enjoyed this car so much that I have decided to upgrade to the STI version. I currently have one on order from the Subaru factory in Japan that is being built with some extra performance goodies. For those of you that have driven a Subaru-there is something about them that makes them special and usually turns people into Subaru lovers. I remember growing up my family had a Subaru Brat, that car was indestructible and a blast to drive.
I also am a big Toyota guy- I have a new Tundra, and 4Runner that I use for hauling pins.
Have a 2013 Ford Flex as our family hauler. Best road trip vehicle ever and also an excellent pin hauler. I also have an 08 Ranger pick up for arcade/pinball hauls.
Just picked up a 2012 Nissan Leaf all electric vehicle that my wife commutes in. Used Leafs are so freaking cheap right now that I finally pulled the trigger. Best decision I've ever made...EVs are the future and we haven't filled up our other cars in a month! (I can ride a bike to work). I'm not a greenie but I def am enjoying not spending as much gas money!
Quoted from Pinplayer1967:My 6-71 blown rat rod. I have never hauled a pin in it.
That is awesome!
It is interesting, ever since 2009 it seems like rust has replaced red with custom rod builders. I love the nostalgic look, it gives the rat rods a more aggressive feel. I have seen some recent builders building "derelicts" where they use old imperfect rides that are then customized with modern technology creating the ultimate sleeper car. I would love to be at a stop light in a derelict and blow the doors off a new sports car.
I love my antique cars - but sadly because of my children's driving records I have been dropped by my insurance company - so here I am sitting with 20 plus antiques. so if anybody is looking I started selling them. I have sold a few already - this really hurts and it sucks - you might want to remind your kids that their actions effect the parents. I haven't got into an accident or got a ticket in 25 plus years.
In my case because they are licensed drivers in my household I have been cancelled even though they aren't eligible to drive them - what a stupid law. they can't drive them unless they are 24 - but yet they keep me from getting insurance. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid

Call Grundy for the ones that are mainly just for shows. Also, no law that dictates you have to tell them about your kids as long as they won't drive them. Get separate policies. One for daily drivers with the kids and one for the collector cars with just you and your wife on the policy.
Quoted from Elvisinmypants:I'm in the club yaaaayaaaayyy!!! Only 30 more payments
Easy 10k by Christmas
My toy is a 2006 scion xB. I daily a 99 lexus ls400 and usually use my dads crv or truck to haul pins. I've been looking for a early 60s econoline or a toyota previa to make a pin hauler out of.
The xB is basically a full show car now but I still enjoy driving it as much as I can. It's supercharged and has 4 tvs and a original NES inside!!!

Wow, nice. Do you need a long lost son?
I use Hagerty. $150 a year full coverage, guaranteed $10,000 value.

I have separate policies - it's not that simple - to have antique insurance they need a copy of your regular policy - there is no cheating here as they talk to each other and look at each others policies. I am trying one more company - but I am not expecting to get approved. my kids are 18-25 - they are officially taking one of the things I love to do away from me. they know it and I know they are upset about it - so I can only hope they learn from it and become good drivers because of it. thanks
Before and during my pinball collecting addiction I was into cars.
Here's a current list;
MG-TD, Austin-Healey Buegeye Sprite, A-H 100-6 and 3000 mkIII, 1960, 1964
and 1968 MG Midgets, MGB-GT, Jensen-Healey, Triumph TR4A, Jag XJS,
Mercedes 350SL and 450SLC, 1978 Vette and 1964 Lincoln.

Boy you are a glutton for punishment. 
My friend in high school had a late 60's mg. He could tap the gas right when he pushed in the clutch and it would backfire. He loved making the girls jump.

New meaning for the term rat rod. Means it has rats. 
Quoted from Travish:New meaning for the term rat rod. Means it has rats.
I hate that term personally

Have they upgraded to the newer engine in 2017 STi? That's one of the things that kept me from going up to the STi...I didn't have enough extra monies to make it worth it to me, but it was nice. Did you get the big wing for it? Keeping the white/black look?
Quoted from jwilson:1969 Ford Torino GT. 351W with a 4 speed. Bought it as a wreck and spent nearly three years rebuilding it.
Kind of goes with pinball - I love rebuilding anything mechanical.
Get off my lawn

It is that easy since they are 18+ unless your state has different requirements. Drop them from your insurance and put them on their own policies.
Since it's a car thread here's a picture of me picking up my newest addition.
Quoted from Travish:Lot of cool cars here but no one is saying how long they have had them or how much they paid. Had my big Buick Riviera 27 years and paid $400. Here is a before shot. My son is 27 now.
Ah the days when a hood was strong enough to stand on!
Quoted from TheLaw:Ah the days when a hood was strong enough to stand on!
Not only that but you can stand inside the engine compartment to work on it.
Quoted from Black_Knight:My other expensive hobby.
At least I can use my trailer for both...
Is that Road Atlanta?

Car racing makes pinball seem very cheap. 
The tyres for my race RX7 were $700 a pop. I can buy a whole pin for that and it lasts longer than a weekend.
I'm happy to say that my helmet has been hung up for now.
