Past or present. I will start:
My Cayman S. 
3.4 flat 6 making about 295HP. 4 valves per cylinder with VVT and sequentail EFI. Getting exhaust and plenum upgrade along with computer flash tomorrow. 6 speed manual. Michelin Pilot Super Sports, of course. 
Cayman S and Anniversary Edition RX7 Turbo II 
The RX7 is a 1.3 liter rotary with a turbo with 5 speed manual and Bridgestone Potentzas. These pics are at a couple of turns at Roebling Road near Savannah. 
My 1988 Mazda 929: 3.0 liter 3 valve V6, 5 speed manual. Bridgestone Potenzas. 
And from my long distant past, me and my 1954 Packard Hearse. 3 on the tree with a manual OD. 400 cubic inch straight 8 flathead. Damn tank. 
Picture taken with a Polaroid about 1967 in Clarkston, GA.
No, I didn't paint the critters on it, the old guy I bought it from had done that and I was just a poor kid back then and could not afford to repaint it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Global_Cooling: Love it, tell me more about it. 1994 Honda Acty (for 'activity') van that was bought at auction in Japan and imported last year. These Kei class vehicles are built to a tax standard, and have 660cc 3-cylinder 4-stroke engines. This one is a 5-speed manual with A/C and full-time AWD. The back seats fold flat into the floor so has a LOT of space if you're not hauling passengers. I still need to sort out a carb issue, but it is a blast to drive...  Attached File |

It's definitely polarizing but I love it so far. I feel it's one of those cars that just naturally looks better in person especially with this color. Looking forward to some track days with it now that the break-in service is all done. |

The new Bronco is one of those vehicles that I would never buy myself - I don't own or drive anything other than coupes - but also one I am so glad exists. I love the way they look - I think Ford nailed that - and I'm impressed (and a bit shocked) they brought back the 2-door layout. |

2 years and 15k miles later, and she still looks like I took her from the Showroom. Washed her up and then went on a 6 hour drive. Why not?

Thanks fellas - I'm normally not a fan of matte either, on some cars it just looks cheap, but this one spoke to me. I've been very happy with her so far - I really hope BMW ironed out most of their issues with their TT V8s with this iteration of their 4.4L. I got the BMW extended warranty regardless but I plan on owning it for the long haul. It was between this or an M8, but I like the road manners better for the GT focused M850 vs the track oriented M8. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Butternut: What's the break in per the owner's manual? If I recall correctly, I think with our Scat Pack we had to put so many miles on her before the "performance pages" would load or be accessible on the trip computer thingy. 500 miles before linelock would be usable. I had performance pages open day one on mine. |
