Civic is getting an Integra Type R Motor this winter. Looking to break 200whp this summer with it.
 
Today it's a new Dodge pickup with a Hemi, which is a loaner from the dealership as my 2017 Jeep is disassembled (again) chasing various gremlins. I must say, the gas guzzler Hemi is very entertaining to drive and sounds the business. I can see why people like 'em.

When I drive, I drive the ghost of my previous Mini, totaled in April of 2012 when I hit a moose on the interstate just a half mile from here.

I just bought my first car at age 32. I was always used to being able to rely on public transport growing up in Berlin. But finally had to admit I need a car in Auckland because public transport here is terrible. (Though traffic here is terrible as well :bang:)

It's a 2006 Mazda3 freshly imported from Japan with a 1.5 litre engine.

Hey d__b, I've got the same car, in the same color, 2006 Mazda 3. Of course mine is under a little snow at the moment. Fun car to drive.

Bob, do you know the Thomas Lux poem “Wife Hits Moose” ? If not, find it online. Tom was a total New Englander (Easthampton MA), and when I was younger and he was alive, a good mentor and colleague in poetry world. A used copy of any of his books is a good present to oneself in a world of mishaps and of little American morons.

Thanks!

Moose in my case wasn't so lucky, but wife was. No antlers, or she would possibly have not made it, that's the imprint of the head over the passenger seat.
 
I bought this specifically for my photography. Being able to go anywhere to take pictures is fantastic. I also just ordered a BMW 2-series convertible.

I drove this one as much as I could last summer. (Zeiss Super Ikonta 531A - Novar lens - Tri-X)

This car is from when a Saab was a SAAB!

Seeing this car here really makes my day. It is a car that I watched with avid interest as a teen in the sixties, and I would still love to have one.

Does this one have the shrike two-stroke engine or the Taunus-sourced V4?
