We all know you have a TGP or TSTE, but what else do you drive?
Mine of course is my Mazda 323 SE Sedan
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v210/Prospeeder/mazda2.jpg)
Sorry...only a TGP and a TSTE in my garage.
Sorry if I am kinda highjacking your thread...but I was trying to remember the other day all of the cars :icon_eek: I have owned in the past 18 years of driving.
Started driving in 1988:
1978 Malibu Classic (swapped in a Olds Rocket 350 3speed manual)
1976 Lincoln Town Coupe with a 460 CID. Was Red with a white landau roof and WHITE leather interior inside. It was my dad's and mine. We called it the pimp mobile. Could easily fit 10 guys/girls inside and another 8 guys in the trunk to go to the drive-in!
1979 Malibu Classic Landau (305 original but swapped in a 454 dual 4 barrel high rise intake and converted to a 4-speed muncie rock crusher)
1984 VW Rabbit GTI that I converted to a turbo setup.
198? Colt turbo. Had an economy and performance shift in it! There was a lever next to the gear shift to change the final drive ratio. :laugh:
1965 Chevrolet ShortBed stepside pickup. I miss her! 454 4x4 with the lowest low drive I have ever seen. The truck would idle up the side of a mountain in granny 1st gear low 4x4 slower than you would walk and NOT bog if it rolled over a rock!! :laugh:
1990 GMC Sonoma ST with 2.8 HO motor. Bought it brand new in 1991 (was a left-over for $5200) Only option it didn't have was a CD player...was a $1800 option in 1990.
Joined the military in 1992
1988 Bonneville
1985 or 86 Turbo Toyota 4x4 jacked up 4" with 33" tires on it.
1970.5 Pontiac Trans Am (restored and sold in 1998 :icon_sad: )
1986 RX7 that I turbo charged and ran a 12.1 1/4 mile in Chicago back in 1996
1998 Town and Country van (the newer one that's shape looked like a suppository :icon_rolleyes:)
OTR/regional truck driver for 2 years 1998-2000
1985 Jeep Cherokee
Returned to electronics repair 2001
Bought Waskie's TGP
1989 Toyota Celica GT
1990 Spirit ES
1994 Eagle Talon TSi
Bought GPChief's 1990 TSTE
Bought back my TGP from Luke
18 cars in 18 years and I can assure you some where kept for a couple of years and some for only 6 months! :laugh:
1987 Suzuki Samurai (my DD)
(http://www.lukez34.com/DSC04294.JPG)
1991 Grand Prix GTP (wife's DD)
(Previous owners pic)
(http://www.lukez34.com/galleries/gtp/purchase_pics/images/DSC00747.jpg)
dang thats a clean GTP. Like the little suzuki, we drove one of those for a day as a rentle when we had a windsheild fixed a long time ago
thanks, it makes a great daily driver to get around town.
The pic of the GTP makes it look clean.. but the paint is pretty trashed. Front bumper needs completely repainted (complete clearcoat failure), I just spend 4 hours on the hood tonight wet sanding and buffing the oxidiation out of the clearcoat, and while it looks better than it did, it's still in pretty sad shape. The rest of the car isn't bad, aside from the clearcoat failure on the driver side fender flares, and the obvious paint runs on the passenger side door. I'll clean her up as good as I can outside and then work on the interior. I purchased some professional leather rejuvenator that I'm going to try that should soften the seats back up (feels like your sitting on cardboard now).
Well since "we're" TurboGTU. Well mostly Me..Alex.

91 Red Metalic BMW 750il- Engine overhaul and trans overahaul.
88 Gray Metalic BMW 750il - Just got this weekend...can you tell he likes them!
Out of all the cars I've owned..I would have to say I had more fun in my Black 90 Taurus SHO. Worst car I owned was the 90 Gray SHO :icon_rolleyes:.
Well, here I go, in order of ownership:
1. 1987 Mitsubishi Montero, alot like the Samurai. Got old and it started acting up. Sold after a year or so.
2. 1989 Pontiac Turbo Grand Prix. Went to hell and had ZERO mechanical skills, but I sold it for 2500 DEAD. Not too bad...
3. 1978 Ford Fairmont Futura. 2 door hardtop, blue with white vinyl roof...Bought for $200, put in a water pump and fixed the leaky radiator, turned around and sold it for $750. Fun car, no front suspension.
4. 1993 Chevrolet Camaro. V6, 3.4, but extremely good on gas. I still have her, and I can pull of over 400 miles on a tank on the highway...rebuilt engine and the works
5. 1994 Ford Taurus. I know. Ford. I bought this for $500 for a winter car while I had the Camaro stored. Surprisingly enough, this car was awesome. Really fast, not an SHO, and it sat unreasonably high due to the wrong shocks being installed in the rear. Crashed her into a pole one icy morning. Sold it for $75 to my buddy's dad who was rebuilding his Sable.
6. Bought BACK the Montero, the same one, from a salvage yard. The people who bought it from me decided to junk it after the couldn't get the carb to work...Well worth it. Fun and dangerous :icon_twisted:
7. 1992 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon. 350 V8, Posi rear end, seats 8...we took her out to Ohio last February to pick up my new TGP, and we pulled off over 400 miles to the tank on this thing. Runs great and purrs that oh so sweet small block sound.
8. 1989 Pontiac Turbo Grand Prix. My dream car. I couldn't want any other car. Just like my old one, only better. Currently has running issues, but I will soon have the cash and time to fix that.
I'm acutally not exagerating the gas mileage on those cars, I just drive them good and take great care of them...lol.
TOOOOOOO darn may over the years.

Well thanks guys :)
We are anal about our cars, they all get washed and waxed regularly, plus cleaning inside and out. No beaters allowed. Grandpa has a MINT '83 Datzun 280zx we also want to get but there is no garage space left :( I tried convincing dad to taking the Haltech stuff and other mods off the white Beretta and getting rid of it, since it has no A/C and getting something else and use the Haltech for an experiment. I would like an LSx swap in the Datsun or try making our own Fuel Injection for the Suburban. :icon_eek:

how old are you Brian??
I had a 1986 Cavalier Z24 for my first car. I drove an 87 Calais for a bit after I came back from school, then found the TGP in 99. Had that one since then. Went through a 91 Pathfinder, 87 Blazer, 93 4Runner, then a
97 Blazer which I just sold. Then the other TGP. Oh yeah I had a 91 Calais 442 for about 6 months too. A few others in there but these are all the significant cars I drove for more than a couple weeks then turned over.

FWIW I'm on tranny number 4 right now. :icon_evil:
Original tranny went. Had it rebuilt by a shop. That one was never 100% and didn't last very long. They rebuilt it again and that one was just a nightmare. So then I got the GMPP one. That one blew up after like 6 weeks. So they rebuilt it or replaced it or whatever they did and the one thats in there now has all gears but it slips into gear. It takes over a full second to shift anytime I'm in the boost. Without boost it falls right into the next gear with no issues, but with anything over a few PSI and it takes forever to upshift. And the 1st gear downshift doesn't feel very healthy either.
284 swap time.

Yeah, agreed, bragging about 80 in 2nd gear isn't much unless its a big HP motor....I don't really see the need of having that tall of gears unless you are road racing on long straight aways?
QuoteYeah, agreed, bragging about 80 in 2nd gear isn't much unless its a big HP motor....I don't really see the need of having that tall of gears unless you are road racing on long straight aways?
Dude I'm not bragging I just was saying that it is a fast car. Don't twist my words! :icon_evil: I honestly don't know why it is geared that tall I just got the car a week ago! (haven't had time to do anything with it let alone find out why it is geared so tall.)
QuoteYou must be a Canuck to call a 1989 Mustang a "Cobra."
I'm not calling it a true cobra, that is what the model is called. It also says "Cobra" on my intake plenium. On my insurance card it says "1989 Mustang GT/Cobra". That's all I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes here lol. :laugh: ;)

Its geared that tall because its an '89 Mustang with stock gears. Sounds like it has 2.73's to me.

LOL thanks, dude! I would also like to add that the motor itself isn't stock.(on the Mustang) As far as I know from the previous owner it has a racing cam, headers, and a nice exhaust on it. I know that doesn't make a huge difference but just puttin that out there. :icon_cool:
i'll have to get some pics of my new ride tomarrow :icon_biggrin: the Cutlass is still the fastest of the bunch but for a stock Regal GS it has some balls!
EDIT: snapped some pics today:

I like those cars. The only problem I had with mine is the rear diff started going out. The Pneumatic suspension also gets VERY expensive to fix. But they are very COOL cars :peace:
I just bought a 1990 red TGP that I will be picking up on Tuesday. :icon_cool: I will post pictures after I pick it up! ;)
