Mountain Biking - Post your "Rides" - Vehicles.

Now I know I'm not the only one that has purchased a vehicle to fit my life style... having the bike in mind with evey one I looked at. I ended up getting a mini van. :D




















I left that space out for everyone to laugh.
But I have found that this is the most practical vehicle (in my price range) for camping, biking, living.. etc

Now if only I could Photoshop my van in real life. http://photoshopgurus.info/forum/images/smiles/cry.gif

Check the show your bike section. All I have :)

I never pictured you as a soccer mom, Wait. You learn something new every day! :p

No pics, but I've got a 2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS that kicks ass. Completely stock as of yet, but the mods should begin soon.

If things go the right way, I'll be looking at a Subaru Impreza WRX STi next year about this time. Saw a couple over the weekend and I'm impressed.

And I'm diggin' the bling on the minivan. You'll be in The Fast and the Furious 3, right?

Yeah, it's a mini sequel... pun intended. :D :D

I didn't buy it "specifically" for going riding, but I did with "intentions" of purchasing a Camper/Trailer which will subsequentially be used for vacations involving mtn biking. Also, my "future" shop will need a trailer.

My current vehicle:

2000 GMC K3500 Crew Cab Dually 4x4 with the 6.5 L Turbo Diesel.

This thing is Loooonnnnngggggg with the 8' bed and WWWWWIIIIIDDDDEEE with the Dually rear end.

I'll get a pic as soon as I can!

1990 Honda Accord...she's my old sweetheart. 1/4 million miles and still going strong. And of course the hot little biker chick will be my hot little biker chick wife in less than a month!

Why doesn't the IMG function work? Can someone show me the correct way of using it.

The way the board is set up you can only put the [img] tags around a URL ending in .jpg, .gif, .bmp...etc Your link is fine it just doesn't end in one of the listed "Suffixes".

Although I haven't driven the bike to any trails yet ... this would probably be it. Only fits by taking both wheels off. =P

I got mine a long time before I got into biking. Still, she can fit my bike with no probs. Her name's Megan, she's a 99spec Civic EX.

Yeah... Jeep finally smartened up and installed rocker/sill protection from the factory. Lord knows I've done enough damage to my rockers in the past. The $1200 I spent on the last repair job (oh was that boulder that close?) could have gotten me a nice new bike.

Wait, your van has a 455, right!?

As for me: a '92 Buick Park Ave. with a 3.8L V6 (no supercharger though). I would post pics if I had a camera!:p

Looks like he's autocrossing. In sanctioned competition, you need at least a 3/4 helmet that's DOT approved. My car's ceiling is too low for me to wear a helmet while autocrossing, but I try to get used to it. :p

10/26 is my birthday:D

I know something about your last birthday.....it was a sunny day wasn't it? :D

going back to the prelude, honda discontinued them cuz there was no demand for it..while mitsu and toyota offered "bigger engines" on their car honda kept the vtec-4 as their only engine. it was a great car....i leased one for 3 years..

gotta say a lot of ppl have nice rides..

Ed

ya they didn't sell very well.

Here's my MTB riding companion... heh, gets me to the trails!

Cool license plate. Is that an official state plate, or just an over the counter decorative plate.

(Here in FL, we only have the rear plate "issued" we tend to have decorative plates on the front, but I know many states require both front and back to be "issued" state plates)

Nope, that is my real plate! Here in the Province of Ontario (yes, I am in Canada), we have to have both front and rear tags... I think we're the only Province too.. when I lived in Alberta, we only needed a rear.. anyway, yeah, it's real!

I feel sorry for all the other riders in Ontario that have to watch me go by! :)

Joe

Cool, I want one of those. I wonder if any combination thereof if available in FL?
