My old whip...something about VW's and fixies.
RIP 
Currently I've got a 93 240sx sitting outside of my house that I lost the keys for and haven't driven in like four months, and I also have a 2001 A41.8tQS.
I really really really want another MK3 though. I hate the Audi.

I just inherited a '96 BMW 525i. It's currently sitting in a snowbank in NH as I really cant afford to keep it in Boston. My parents were using my '96 volvo 970 wagon this summer and forgot to put coolant in the engine. Cracked the block. I loved that car.

Im currently cruising in a MKIII jetta abd my Tex name is CTVeeDubJetta
What are you rockin?
I know this has little to do with fixed/singlespeed but mods do you think you could let it slide?

I have a 99 Nissan Sentra and it has about 50,000 miles on it. I drove it maybe 5 miles a month the last three years. Everything else was from commuting in Los Angeles before that.
I want to sell it and get a truck to haul my art stuff around, hopefully a hybrid truck if i can find one that doesn't look like a spaceship. toyota makes one but it's straight ugly and i don't know if they're even available yet. chevy silverado isn't so bad but it's a little too beefy and it will cost at least 30 grand... a little pricy for me. same with the sierra. why don't they just make a nice modest cheap hybrid truck?

I have a truck, it's a 98 Ranger manual (manuals are exceedingly difficult to find I learned ... I hate driving automatics). My first American motorized vehicle ... I don't lump trucks into my arbitrary prejudice against American automobiles.
I got it when my Civic, which I had for maybe 4 months, was stolen. After that I decided to say f*ck to cars, I haul more stuff than people any way. Although it got amazing gas mileage. The Civic replaced my 94 Jetta which had been living like every day was it's last since I left Boston over 2 yrs ago. That thing was a trooper, we had many adventures together ... sigh.
Anyway, my truck's spare tire is currently in the cab because I haven't gotten around to putting it underneath and locking it properly. Someone stole the previous spare this past fall. I love Chicago.
