Current ride - 2002 VX Commodore S
Previous rides
1994 VR Commodore Acclaim
1987 RB Gemini
This is a photo taken bout a month after I got my car, that was a year ago.
Absolutely love it. Wish it was a supercharged engine but alas. Love all the others though, leather seats, sunroof. Main point about it is the manual transmission. All these people who have "sports" cars with automatic tranmission, dont understand the term "sports car".
At the end of the year when I graduate uni, I plan to put some 17 or 18's on, still havent picked what rim I like, and also upgrade the exhaust. Maybe also lower it if the bigger rims dont draw enough attention away from the huge gap in the wheel arches.
Only other thing which I am pround of is putting blue neons in the boot with a toggle switch to select either neon or normal light.
 
More pics to come, probably at the end of the year when I can afford the upgrades.

Here is my 1989 KE Ford Laser 4wd tx3 turbo. i have done all the body work on it and have primed and painted it. it should be ready in a few months as soon as i finish the front of the car and rebuild the engine. i have installed a racing radiator and a bigger intercooler on it so i had to fabricate a new radiator support that is all bolt in now, i also cut out the rear wheel well and welded in a flat floor to support the fuel system. i have plenty more pictures taken throughout the rebuild process but couldnt put them all up hope you like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzjuRQstfhc

thanks shadow, half the thread should of been locked seeing as though part of it was what car do you wish you own.

This photo is crappy because I took it with my phone at work. I think the only things different since the last pic is the new back tire and slightly different bar end mirrors. Also, not visible in this photo, but there are new scratches on the left pipe and a dent in the left side of the tank, all from when I stacked it on the wet roundabout.
The pipes are Australian made Staintunes. The sound they produce is very nice, I'll have to record it one day and post a video on youtube or something.
Apparently, some neighbours around here (who don't even know me, I might add) think I got the bike especially for stealing their girlfriends. Like I'd go to that much effort. But yeah, there was this drunk guy outside the other night who yelled out something like "I GOT A BIG ITALIAN C**K, WHO WANTS SOME??!" 
Truth of the matter is, I decided to get a bike when the fuel prices were ridiculously high. I had a Falcon and was paying around $80/wk in fuel with work and stuff. Now I'm traveling the same kind of distances on $10/wk. I was hoping to get like a GSX-R 750 from out of the paper, but a mate from work was selling the Monster, so I grabbed it. And it hasn't effected my sex life at all (still not gettin any).

My 2008 Lancer VRX...originally the VRX came in a 2 litre engine model however, upon placement of order I was told they didn't have the VRX in the colour I wanted or the sunroof/sub-woofer system option so I ended up getting the 2.4 litre engine instead...although I had to sit and wait for 2 months back in 2008

Big bump.
I sold my previous car nearly 4 months ago, and picked up the replacement about a month ago (as alluded to in Recent Purchases). The criteria was something relatively inexpensive as it sits int the garage 5 days a week, but something for the weekend, geared towards the track. Power wasn't a key consideration, as handling is far more important to going quick in anything other than a straight line.
It's a 2002 MX-5, NB Series 3 (NB8C).
First pics are as I bought it. The last is after the installation of a roll bar yesterday. Coilovers are coming soon.

that might be the first time that question has ever been asked about that car.
(seriously though, great, fun little cars to drive.)

MX5's are perfect little track pigs on the weekend, and respectable little hair dresser cars through the week... luckily yours only comes out on weekends Nice choice!
While i'm in here I should post up a couple updated shots of mine. It's had a bit of an overhaul since i posted my last couple of it...

Love your EVO MatBoy. Those Volk's? Whatever they are, they look awesome on your EVO.
Been fighting the temptation to buy a set of OZ racing superturismo's or 2008 STI Enkei's in anticipation of a Brembo brake upgrage which may happen in the next year or so. However, I want to do a few engine, handling and exhaust upgrades before I start thinking about brakes.
Some very nice rides that some forum members have.
Love your new MX-5 Spanca. I've always thought of them to be the best value for money roadster in the market.

Nice, but why did you ditch the Subaru badging? The front and back look a bit bare without them.

A turbo back system is in the works at the moment. Waiting on a HKS dump pipe, X-force custom 3" centre pipe and a set of custom Magnaflow quad (2x twin tip) exhausts, then off to get an ecu tune 
I should hopefully have it all by the end of year.
