For those of you who have one, either yourself or with your spouse. This is my wife and I's.1988 Mitsubishi Mighty Max SPX MacroCab- Wife bought it to learn how to work on carburetors. Really rare, fully optioned version of *the* most expensive 80's pickup. 2.6L 4 cyl is basically a tractor engine, paired up to the 4WD system straight out of the Mitsubishi Dakar Rally trucks of the era.2014 Honda CR-Z 6MT - I bought this on fucking Cars and Bids back in 2021 to use as a supercommuting vehicle when I had a 193 mile daily round trip commute coast-to-coast in Florida. Slow as shit, and not particularly fuel efficient all things considered. Still love it though. Probably going to trade for a Miata soon since it's starting to develop electrical gremlins.2021 Polestar 2 - Fucking love this thing. Nearly 500 horsepower and the best suspension on any vehicle we've ever driven. Got it for weekend road trips with the wife and to replace the CR-Z for my job, which requires travelling 30-200mi a day to see clients.
>>27599250Bought the Polestar in October for half of MSRP with only 12k miles, already got the bitch up to 40k miles. It eats tires.
>>27599250The Might Max is probably the most smiles per mile out of any of them though. It's an absolute riot off road.

>>27599317Ok lets see your garage then

>>27599320dont have one, and that doesnt invalidate my opinion, heres a pic of my shitty inline 6 though, mated to a 6 speed manuel and rwd (fun)
>>27599327E90 is a respectable choice. I'm planning on trading the CR-Z for a NA Miata next weekend b/c I miss RWD.(found a kid who inherited a Mint '91 special edition from an elderly neighbor who wants something with working A/C)
>>27599250I would drop all three on israel
>>27599330nah, crz is cool desu dont get rid of itjust get a miata independently
>>27599321Very based solution. Love the Alfa 105.I've been thinking about a Volvo P1800ES as a classic, but I am sorely tempted to EV swap it using that Ford EV crate motor.
>>27599333It's developing electrical gremlins and I really don't need 3 cars. It has served me well the last 3 years. Plus, my wife has owned 6 miatas before and knows every single bolt and part on them so she can maintain it easier.
>>27599250I've got my 2, truck is built just ugly, had it for almost 10 years now, 365/410, built trans and rear end, holley serpentine kit full stainless exhaust yadda yadda. It loves corners. Burb is mostly mint grandpa rig, California special almost 100% original 454/th400 with a Gear Vendor, 8600gvw with front/rear ac and helper bags. Fiance has an 07 Sonata with the v6. It was free and low miles and all I've had to do is tires and brakes on it.

>>27599353Drooling over that suburban bro. Even with the warm weather, that gen is completely extinct in Florida. V6 Sonata of that gen is solid too.
>>27599343idk man I have a soft spot for the crz and you sound like you just pump and dumped if
>>27599250Prius + Toyota truck that can towYou don't need anything more than this.
>>27599375I've had a soft spot for it since it came out. Hell, I drove mine across the entire country from Cali to FL. I just don't need it as a daily anymore, and the wife 'strongly dislikes' driving it. I'm gonna be more than a little heartbroken to see it go, but c'est la vie.

>>27599256>Bought the Polestar in October for half of MSRP with only 12k miles,because is chinese crap, in 2 years it will be worth less then '12 nissan altima with missing rear bumper.My friend bought '21 audi etroon gt for 30k (msrp was like 150),already imported to my country from copart. Car get totaled for broken rear bumper and tail light.All this EV crap lose value like crazy
>>27599406Good thing we plan to drive it until it literally doesn't move anymore. We have absolutely no intentions of getting rid of it, even if it has to become a hooptie to keep running,
>>27599392The GAZ-24 is pure sex. I've heard Niva's are actually fun to thrash offroad.

>>27599339>I am sorely tempted to EV swap it using that Ford EV crate motor.why would you do thatvolvo B20 is one of the most reliable engines made
>>27599413Idk about fun as it's an unibody, a CROSSOVER. It has IRS (not the tax department) in the front and a solid axle in the back, it's fairly capable for a light AWD vehicle, but I wouldn't take it anywhere too deep into the woods.Then again there are people here in Finland who go bogging with them into bumfuck nowhere with the dedicated mudding and offroad machines.The Volga I had to buy because it looks so cool. It's an absolute shitbox currently due to lack of maintenance, but I can save her.Going to need a lot of patience and welding, but I can do it.
>>27599470Honestly for the meme more than anything.
>>27599474in the finnish market, how do old russian shitboxes compare to old volvo/saab models? Are they all roughly the same in price or do the Swedish cars hold value than the soviet shit?
>>27599484It really depends. A shitbox Saab 900 (implying saabs are anything else) are about a grand at best. It will barely be roadworthy, but that's what you get for under a grand.Volvos, the RWD ones, are more expensive due to being drift sleds for the winter. You used to bew able to get a running and roadworthy 740 for like 500 bucks, nowadays you'll pay up to 2 grand for a decent one, although you can still snag a bombed out project shitbox for about a grand or so if you're lucky.FWD volvos are like 500 bucks at best for a running project car, but I don't bother with FWD cars.Slav shit on the other hand is really weird, sometimes you can grab a running 2107 Lada for like 500 bucks, next month there won't be any for under 2 grand, a couple of months later they're like a grand tops again.Shit like rear engine Skodas also fluctuate a lot. I bought mine for 100 bucks and there was another one for like 300 bucks registered and mostly roadworthy, now they're like 2 grand a piece, but every now and then there's one or two for like 500 bucks max in running condition for some odd reason.Generally "domestic" cars like saabs and volvos hold their prices better obviously, but you can luck out on soviet shit and get an absolute bargain unlike with saabs and volvos
>>27599372I'm glad I pulled the trigger on the burb. It was sitting for 6 years 900 miles away and we made a cannonball run right as a snowstorm hit mid drive. 12 hour drive there turned into 27 hours and an extra 650 miles, put a battery and fluids and aired up the tires, handed cash over and drove the burb 15 hours nonstop. I love the thing even if it's cost me an arm and a leg. The sonata has been pretty rock solid for us, I can't complain.

2004 Grand Prix GTP Comp GComfy, ultra-reliable cruiser that’ll still break 150.2002 BMW Z3 3.0i Coupe.So great you can’t keep in your head how great it is. Each time you get in it you’re reminded anew of how astounding it is.It’s so raw, so manual, so torquey, so tight, so telepathic, and so balanced.There are no words that will do it justice.1998 BMW Z3 2.8 roadsterGotta have a convertible.It’s not transcendentally sublime like the Coupe, but it’s still deliciously nice.The 2.8 is fine for the roadster. I think the 3.0 would overpower the chassis a bit.

>>27599306That and weighing like a full size pickup. I'm guessing my f150 would eat a set of tires in a few months if I tried to drive it spiritedly.
>>27601579Yeah, it weighs about 4 and half thousand pounds and has instant torque so it'll happily eat tires if you like being quick off the line.

How are you liking it?
>>27603067Absolutely love it. Got it used for $34k USD. Absolutely unbeatable at that price. The suspension and chassis dynamics are insane for an EV. Very well tuned driving dynamics. I found it performed as good or better in those regards than recent BMWs, with a much less harsh ride to boot. We got the nappa leather option on ours as well, and if you know anything about Volvo seats, Polestar's are just as good. If you test drive one, make sure you drive one with the performance pack, the suspension seriously makes a massive difference.Right now, ours is actually in the shop due to a fast charging error melting the fucking bus bar that goes from the port to the battery. However, Polestar support has been fantastic and our rental, along with any other expenses, are being covered under warranty. Parts availability sucks, it's been 3.5 weeks and there still isn't an ETA on the part, and literally none are present in North America at the moment.
dont actually have pictures of them together so random google photos.1. 1997 Corolla wagon with 4A-FE, have some topbox on it too. daily driver and for haugling things2. 2000 Accord Type R, americans might not be familiar, it was basically euro spec Accord with stiffened and lighter body, sports suspension, high output H22 mated with torsen lsd gearbox3. 2005 newest addition, LS430, mainly for highway driving, weekend trips, vacations etc. also 1st gen suzuki vstrom.i imagine not many euros will respond in this thread, since keeping 3 cars is impossible or prohibitively expensive in most places.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo E46 M3I've thought about a 3rd vehicle like a ND Miata, S2k or a 13-14 Mustang but can barely justify to myself having 2 vehicles. I don't know what I'd do with 3.

If I wanted to prioritize carrying people over stuff, I’d probably sub out the Frontier for a 3rd Gen Toyota Sienna
>>27603415sounds like a minitruck or kei truck as a parts hauler and little putt-around-town car would compliment your lineup well.

>>27604502Needs a W201 but this is a fucking awesome collection. My mom had a W140 (500SEL? It had the V8) when I was a kid and I grew up in that car. How many of your three are running at any given time?
>>27604447Noice. I never had issues with my mikuni but others did.I had everything but bucket seats on mine.Had it for 5 years and only replaced a burned up fusible link on it since the alternator stopped charging the battery. Still drove almost 8 miles with a dead battery.
>>27603511>>27604447Found a pic of the interior, she's clean for over 200k
>>27604530All three surprisingly. All are in various states of disrepair however and run to varying degrees of efficacy
>>27604552Mercedes are the preferred hoopies in the ghettos down here in FL. It's honestly nice to see them being at least somewhat cared for rather than turned into donks or altima-missiles.
>>27599250The thinking mans car portfolio:>'08/'09 Prius>$20-80k in investment account>$20-80k in investment accountThat gets you $2-8k in interest annually assuming a conservative 5% yield. More than pays for vehicle rentals for 99% of people.

>>27605897V12 E32 750i, still there, hasn't been inspected since 2021 and totally hasn't been doing cheeky plateless night cruises.No face no plate no case right?
>>27605899Thats a nice ride, how it compares to siberian mercedes like Volga?
>>27605901The GAZ-24 compares better to the W123 or W115 Benz, there's absolutely no way the Volga could ever compare to the E32 BMW, few cars at the time did.The Volga is simply shit in comparison.No electric windows, manual transmission that might go into gear if the stars align, suspension is present, ride quality is not.Probably the only thing the Volga does better is ease of maintenance due to being an older car, that's about it.
>>27604571Thanks man, I'm trying to keep up with them, but its ben hard. I'm now the 'unemployed friend' so I suddenly have alot of time to putter with them.

>>27599250We had a template last month...
>>27599250I had two 2.6 Ram 50 pickups bought for 125 and 250 bucks running. Melling make a nice upgrade oil pump and balance shaft delete kit. I converted both to the little "Holley-Weber" style 2bbl carbs using remanned Pinto and Vega carbs also converted to manual choke.Swapped to my bro for a BMW R65 baiku but they're likely still running.
>>27609110Yeah, our truck is running a webber 38/38 2 barrel carb. choke got stuck closed on ours, took her wayyyy too long to diagnose.Great deal on those trucks, they're wonderfully tough little bastards.
>>27599250wow you're so fucking unique removing the badges like that, totally makes you look refined and not like niggers have started stealing parts from your car or that they're neglecteddon't cry when they keep going at the rest, broken window theory is based on real experiments
>>27609550I hadn't even noticed until you pointed it out, but holy shit it's wild how wrong the CR-Z looks without the badge.
>>27609550>>27609555Nah, the body shop that replaced my front bumper never installed one. They said they would "mail it to me to install when they got the part in" then promptly stopped answering any calls/emails since. I'm just too lazy to order one myself, I hate how it looks without one as well.
