I drive the 7 daily in the warm months. I drive a white 1988 Chevrolet Caprice Classic as the winter unit. No hub caps, going for the cop look. 177K miles on the original motor and tranny and still runs like a champ.

1992 Mazda Miata
I'm surprised almost no FD guys have Miatas. If you live in a place with good weather, don't need to haul a lot of stuff around and are confident in your masculinity you can't have more fun on the street than with a Miata. I'd sell my FD first.

Beater.... Anything made in the USA (common domesitic) or that has a 1950's piece reciprocating of "technology" that has 8 cylinders configured in a V pattern that would be more suited for a boat anchor.

Crappy Nokia phone cam pic with my new 17" Enkies that I bought off Craigslist w/ tires for $312.00 for the set!

after having it for about 2 months now and no problems, yesterday it had its first. i was on I-95 North and i lost half my exhaust. from the cat back there is nothing. DAMN now i actually have to put some money into it. im gonna leave the whole piece that broke off in my car until i get pulled over for not having a muffler on there so i can tell the cop that it just broke off a hour ago, then ill get it fixed
