You don't want to see a picture of my piece of shit car. It's an '86 Ford Taurus LX with a 3.0 liter engine with 180,000+ miles on it. The only reason I keep driving the danged thing is that it still gets 33 mpg going down the interstate at 75 mph.

2005 Chevy Trailblazer. It's silver, so I named her Annika, after Annika Hansen, the human name of of the famous borg Seven of Nine who dons a sexy silver outfit aboard the Starship Voyager.

I have a couple cars under restoration right now. One is a 1963 Split window Corvette. 427 cu in, 435 hp. Another is a 1971 Plymouth Duster.
440 cu in, bored .090 over. Dual 4 bbls. 500 hp, easy. 391 Positrac rear, 4 speed slapstick. I don't have much more to go on the Mopar, but the Vette needs serious body work yet.
Eat your hearts out, you poor slobs. Too bad you don't know what a REAL muscle car is.
Oh, my everyday car is a company van. Muhahaha!

I drive a 1995 Toyota Tacoma Extra Cab 4 cyl 5spd. It gets 27 mpg mixed hwy/city. The wife drives a 2004 Honda Civic Ex Coupe 5 spd gets 34 mpg. I'll be in the market for a new truck next year and so far I'm very dissapointed with what is available. The new Tacomas are no longer compact trucks they've gotten bloated and get worse mpg than ever. In fact the only compact truck on the market is the Frod Ranger... Had one, it was a lemon, never again.
