Becoming a beast in my Camaro2SS!

[KeepItMoving]

2015 Hellcat Challenger here. (My 3rd Challenger) 707 Horsepower. I'm not a picture taker, but maybe I'll get around to that. I run a pickup truck as my daily driver. My pickup truck is my wife and my Challenger is my mistress. LOL!

[Mojoke]

Yeah it is RWD, 6.2-liter V8, 426HP. And my other car is a Mitsubishi not a Nissan, and the performance on the Camaro is way better, BUT I still like my convertible better.

Oh, my mistake!

That sure is a beast of an engine. Sound and performance must be out of this world.

I run a current model BMW 330i 4cyl 250HP and I already think she's beasty, then adding close to another 200HP must be breath taking

[bodyhard]

Here's my beast in its cage. Some will recognize what it is just by the big FORD logo. And yes, I've jumped it. Being on industrial jobsites is a great playground for a toy like this.

My son wants a truck. I am not into trucks, but if we all liked the same thing the roads would be fill with the same mode of transportation

25 years of Audi for me.





A5/S5/RS5 are the best looking models Audi has ever done!

25 years? damn!

There is one parked up the block from me in green, I never see it moved though. LOL on the mistress

The sound and feel alone scares my wife

Come out to the Midwest. Whole lot of trucks.

Trucks take up too much damn space!!

But it makes hauling 4 wheelers a lot easier.

IIRC, you have some pretty nice rides, don't you Craig?

I sold my vette about a month ago. Still have the 67 Camaro. Otherwise just my truck and her Escape. Needed to downsize a bit.

At times it can be a bit of a pain in a populated area. Trying to park in a Costco parking lot in a space meant for a Prius is just about out of the question. I typically just volunteer to take the spot furthest from the door...I need the exercise anyway. On the other hand, I need my truck for the kind of work/play I do so the occasional headache trying to park is worth it to me.

This^. I park in the north 40, and always make sure I can pull out going forward. I have an F150, so it really isn't a big deal to park in a regular space. I just don't trust the a-holes not to bash my truck with thier pos cars.

The pull through spot is perfect although not politically correct. 2 chits are not given though...

I am normally parked around a bunch of other trucks. . Most have part of the bed hanging over in the space behind it. At the farm store, the spaces are much deeper.

Here is my mine. Getting ready for the long winter

Sweet car!!!! Looks brand new!

When we are designing the parking lots of the buildings I do, I always try to get the engineer to design the lot BIGGER for bigger spaces (costs more) or at least having a section of the lot that is spaced farther apart. I think my case is very strong. If you have a big truck, and particularly if you have a series of big trucks parked side by side, you are probably going to go over the line and take up another space anyways. So if we've got a section of the lot with bigger spacing, the big truck drivers will naturally gravitate to that area of the lot. Sure, you lose a few spaces, big deal, you are going to lose them anyways. But, without fail, the engineer simply calculates the minimum number of spaces required by code based on building occupancy and shift changes, then makes the spots the minimum size required, and that's what we end up doing. Its dumb. Too many people drive big trucks and SUVs.

I definitely park far away from nearly every building.

[Bo_Flecks]

I always find parking spaces way out in the middle of nowhere, and make sure no one can park on at least one side of me by choosing a spot along a curb. Sometimes I come out and STILL find someone has parked right up next to me.

Case and point...



^^^I go to the mall first thing in the morning and park way the f'ck off in a corner. I am inside for less than 15 minutes.There is literally 3 other cars in the lot and I come out to see this POS parked right next to me.



^^^I go to Olive Garden and park across the street in a completely empty lot and come out to see this land barge parked right next to me, nearly over the line.

It's like my car is a magnet for this stuff.

I have had my share of Jeeps that is for sure, 5 in all.

Last one I had was as 2010/2011 Limited Edition Mountain, Mango Tango, manual (only way to drive).. was awesome. When gas hit $5 a gallon, I had to dump it..

I certainly didn't buy a Jeep for their fuel economy This is my second one. Had one in 2000 too but this one is far nicer. Polar Edition which for the part of NY I live is about perfect.

The Polar Edition? Does that come with a set of snow shoes and a shovel?

[pryme]

Very nice Raptor! Another truck guy...

16 Tundra TRD double cab here.

No, just a set of chains to pull Ford trucks out of ditches

Man when I first got my Camaro2SS last year and I had no idea what I was doing driving stick I thought, F'ck what did I get myself into?

As the months went on and I got better I thought to myself holy f'ck this sh!t is fun and the power the car had (which I still didn't master) was insane...

Now a year later I am a f'cking beast with it, I have hit 140lbs and the fcking car handles like a baby! I have blown by Corvettes, Chargers, BMW's, Mercedez, Mustangs, this f'cking car doesn't play and the more I learn, the more me and the car are becoming one. My wife will not get in the car with me at all, she is afraid of the power!

Taken today in my Camaro2SS before I left for the road, if you look close, you will see my baby, my red Mitsubishi Spyder in the back!

Go see http://www.eastcoastsupercharging.com/

That is who I was going to take my Corvette to before I got into motorcycles. They are right down the road from you and they are experts in what they do. They regularly crank out cars well over 550hp on stock motors. You think your car is a beast now? Just wait.

Mine is still en route from Germany but hopefully it arrives in the next few weeks and I can post pics then.

I was going to get an M4, then decided on an M2, but then figured I'd get 90% of the same car as a much more comfortable DD in a m240i so that's what I got and saved 30k on the M4 which lets me buy my wife a mini SUV as well.

Since it'll run a 4.2 second 0-60 as stock, and is faster than the M2 at higher speeds I probably won't bother tuning this one but having 400+ wheel HP from a simple ECU tune is tempting.

I thought BMW's came out of Spartanburg or is that just the X models?

Nice car and a great choice, you can't argue with the $ savings.

Funny you should mention the Spartanburg plant (its technically in Greer). The other day we had trouble getting to the jobsite because a train carrying a bunch of BMW's derailed! It didn't effect the road, but it mind as well have happened in the middle of the road as traffic backed up with all of the rubber necking.

JENKINSVILLE, S.C. -- A train carrying BMWs from an automaking plant in South Carolina derailed, damaging 97 of the vehicles, authorities said.
The train was heading from a BMW plant in Greer to Charleston when it derailed shortly after 3 p.m. Sunday, officials said, CBS Charleston affiliate WCSC reported. It was carrying almost 100 BMW cars, according to WCSC.
Two locomotives and 10 train cars were also damaged in the derailment, which occurred near the state’s capital Columbia.�

Ouch that is an expensive crash!

The company I work for is head quartered in Greevnille SC, and the hotel I use (Marriott on Parkway) is the hotel people use that are picking up their new cars!! lots of very excited people passing through the bar.
