Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

propig,  I still live there.  Beer- it's not just for breakfast anymore- isn't just a phrase its a way of life for some.  do you off-road your truck?  Every buried it?

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

No. Just hauling stuff right now. She's only 1 1/2 and I am not ready to get her dirty yet. That and I don't have time lately for doing stuff like that. When I am not at work, I am too tired to do much of anything else.

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Yeah those ford trucks are my personal favorites!  Best selling truck for 25 years and running!  I wouldnt mind it if you could possible send some pics of your beauty truck!  I love those trucks and have models of them....so if u could...post some pics, Propig...and j/w how did u come up w/ your name....

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

When I was in school one of my projects was to create a company profile, business plan, etc. for an internet provider service.

I wanted the to name the company Professional Internet Group. When I went to check the domain name registrations, that name was already taken. Everyone in my class was a real cut up, including the instructor - I was a little on the quite side. One night my instructor said "You should learn a lesson from our Professional Pig and get to work!" So that is where I got my name.

By the way -All the business plans were graded by somebody that was actually an Internet Service Provider! I was the only one in the class to get an A.

I will see if I can get some pics.

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

yeah...i kinda had a hunch that "pig" stood for something with the prefix pro before it!  cool!  Yeaht thx for the response and putting effort into trying to get the pics, but its ok if u cant get em'

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

yeah, we might wanna make a "Where did your screenname come from" thread cuz those are always sorta fun to see why peeps name themselves the way they do.

yeah, i have a ford truck too. but its a ranger. we got it cuz we can use it as a utility vehicle and it gets 26 mpg

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

That is darn good for a truck...none the less!  How heavy is it though...what it lacks in wieght, to gains in milegs so it seams!  Yeah that thread sounds good to me as well...hey vee_ess, do u mind if i start that thread...sounds good...or if not you can start it..i just wanna post in it!  ;D

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

My Ford gets 15 with a 302 but I've had it up to 100 mph.  Not bad for a 4x4 I think.  It's even pulled 2 tons of stuff plus from Georgia to West Virginia.  I Love my Fords.  I've even pulled logs with one of my other Fords.  Chevy's are okay but Fords will take a lot of abuse.

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

H*ll yeah!  Those trucks are the best...im not sure if anyone else has seen this commercial but i saw it on TV a couple of times and the creator of this one is a genius:  Well there is a Ford F-350 and and Chevy 2500 and both of them have boats that they are backing up into the lake.  The Chevy goes first and is pulled into the water because the boat was too much for it to handel, so the ppl in the truck start to worry.  Then the guy w/ the Ford gets in his truck and says something like " oh great " and takes his truck and tows the Chevy out of the water and the boat that went w/ it as well.  So the ppl that owned the Chevy said "man that sure sank" and the Ford guy said "yup...like a rock!"  -  Funny sh*t cuz Chevys motto is "Like a Rock"

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

How about the GMCs ?

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

You mean Garage Man's Companion.  The old one's are great but I don't like the new ones.  I've worked on to many vehicles to care for the new features/bugs.  Everything you add is something else that can break.

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

yeah GMC's arent that bad but when it came down to my favorite ill have to stay with the long lasting dependible ford...becuase there "ford tough" j/k!  actually i really like the overall look of the trucks as well as the imense power that is associated with all there truck...the F-series goes all the way from F-150 to F-750!!! thats pretty crazy, but i think that the F550-F750 are stricly used for commercial and industrial use only.

Yeah !
I was thinking of the olden ones like the sixties  :)
Sort of an improved chevy truck better rear axle and such.

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

That is a sweet one Soccer Stud. ;D

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

oh yes!  but that is not the ultimate mustang, of course it was back in its day..and it didnt looks as pretty as that..because that is off "Gone in Sixty-Seconds", but the pony still had power!  Now a days the king of the hill for the Mustang industry would have to be the Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R.  <uuuggghhh><drool>  Man this car is sweet...for $55,320!  5.0L V-8, 385 HP! 0-6 in 3.9!  Yeah i will eat a vette, and will prove a worthy challenge by a second or two for the Z06!  Check it out!

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Yeah, but I would rather the GT500, much more enjoyment. And it is way more valuable too. That is the king of the stang hill in my book.

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

yeah thats a pretty big rig u got there...but when push comes to shove, u just cant beat proffesional inovation and master engineering of top grade, high quality, high performace road vehicles.  Yes im talking about the true kings of the road...true engineership comes straight from the mind and not the look...and you know when a car is down right lame when their company advertises them because "they looks extreme" or "u cant get this color in any car"...lame....embarrasing...ugly

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Hehe...got a new favorite "car"(still think my jeep is the best truck/SUV)  But today, I was given a ride in a Road Runner, 440ci engine with a 6 pack, ran on only 100 octain fuel racing fuel, practically no mufflers, pistal grip shifer(no performace increase, just cool 8) ) .  The thing had been completely restored, with the origanal horn, purple paint, and road runner pin-stripe...  Man...we got on the highway, he'd get it to 4th gear(I'm guessing it's a 5 speed...)  No matter how fast we were going(I cant say because he broke the speedo at 130  :D )  I was always planted in my seat when he stomped it.  The thing was amazing...

He also had a 92 Shelby Mustang, bored/strocked, with a blower and illegal exaust system.  That thing would move, but still nothing compaired to that Road Runner!

I'll try and get some photos of the cars soon...I'm sure he wont mind showing them off some more...

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

I know the feeling. I love it. Now I'm addicted. But I won't drive it. I am scared to hurt it.

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

sounds like anxiety to me vee_ess..haha..i think that there is a prescription for that kinda phobia i believe...and i doubt that you will hurt it if you trust it and like Ellenore...she trust you. Treat it well and it will treat you well... be one with the car!  haha!  

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Yeah, well, in the movie I believe you are reffering to, "Gone in Sixty Seconds" (one of the greatest to ever be made), that car didn't let you have trust because everytime you boost it, it gives ya trouble...Now the car named Hillary in there, the XJ220, now thats a car. (not like the GT500 aint)

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

i agree thoroughly..unargueablly the best car in that entire movie...and then the GT500 comes in an extremely close second..but the XJ220 has it by performance and value..but lacks in style..but it is still a darn pretty car...take a look-see


ok so i added the chick in there to give the look a boost....

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

yes i can see where your comming from, vee_ess, but u do know that this car is a few years old..i think that it is time for a face lift...but the TWR..now that is much prettier that the standard XJ 220..the front w/ the headlights make it look a lot nicer and the higher spoiler give it the more sleeker looks it deserves...but this is predominantly one of the best cars ever mad on earth...and i feel that it will be a while until a company decides to prove then wrong..but that XJ 220 TWR...yeah its stylin'...but stylin just cant compare to to the overwhelming power that this car posseses as well.

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

I gotta say, NES_Master....looks like you've really taken care of your jeep by the look of it...the suv is it near perfect condition other than the bumper (but that isnt your fault).   I just wish that more people would take care of their cars like you havd displayed...Uranium-235's car looks in perfect condition as well...you both have displayed your selves worthy of owning and taking care of your cars and suvs...well done  ;)

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

LOL I've barely taken care of it. I havent even had it long. It cost $1200 and cost so much cause the body was in such good condition

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Thanks for the complements, but you should of seen the jeep when I got it.  The outside looked alright, but the inside...  BIG rip in the seat, 3 cracks in the dash, and was really dirty...  After that was all cleaned up and repaired, I started having some engine problem.  Turns out, the previous owners hadn't changed the oil for over 70,000 miles :o.  So the valve stem seals had basically rotted away, letting oil in the engine!  After having the engine cleaned out, everything has been perfect!  I don't even burn hardly any oil, and that is VERY uncommon for the 4.0L engine... ;D

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

im not sure what kinda car i should get..obviously one that will fit my budget...and when i get it...im gonna make it look all nice and customize it and most of all MOD IT!!!!!!!!!!  I cant wait...its gonna be nice!!!  

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

how much do you have?

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

well i need to get a job first and then i can start on the touching up...engine enhanchments, interior redesigning, exterior looks, and just makin it overall pleasing to the eye!  But most of all..power..ill have to save awhile before i can put anything into the car...whatever that might be..but whatever it is..i know for sure it aint gonna be not civic!!!

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

Yeah, I can't stand Civics. Well souped-up ones at least.

When souping up cars though, the engine is unfortuneatly the most expensive one to enhance. It is sure worth it. I am looking for a job too - can't live without a good car. I will only buy comp parts after I got me my dressed up Euro.

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

yes i agree...sorry guys...but cars then comps....i am probably obsessed with cars as much as you guys are about computers...and belive me...both sides can have there advantages and disadvantages...but definately more advantages then disadvantages!  But computers i think you can do alot more with..but cars you can have more fun with..but that is TOTALLY my opinion and i think that both of the two things are the greatest things that god has ever created!!!

Re: Everybodys favorite car!!!
 

I don't like cars.  I'm a truck freak.  When I get some money I'm gonna lift my truck about 4 inches and install some 33" tires (I gotta catch up with my wife's truck).  Then maybe do some mild engine mods.  Wife says she'll do a custom paint job on it also.  I can't wait ;D.
