95 Nissan XE-V6, just before they started calling them Frontiers. It sits most of the time, I walk to work.
 
I used to have a '92 Oldsmobile Achieva SL... The engine blew up, so I spent a couple years on a 12 speed bike. Now I have a '99 Dodge Durango SLT.

That's my land vehicle.... Sitting in the "repair bay" is a '63 Dorsett El Ray inboard/outboard. It's tarped over and awaiting the fires to be put out (so I can breathe) to be worked on.
 
Old man cars are what I drive/own.

Recently purchased 06 MGM (25MPG Avg, 89 octane):

I'll have to try to dig up some pics of my baby for you guys. It's still under construction, but nearly finished. My first truck was a hot rod that Dad and I restored, my 1968 Chevy pickup. I knew that was the only thing I wanted when I was old enough to drive. We bought it and planned to spend a small amount of money to make a reliable driver out of it that I could have fun with. Within a month we had it torn down to the frame. We ended up doing a full frame off resto/rodsto-ration to it. We filled all of the holes in the frame that weren't needed, boxed the frame and modified it for performance, run the factory 2 link in the rear which hooks up really well (about 6 years ago if you looked at the general suspension geometry and looked under this truck you would see a resemblance. I'm sure it's all different now with the COT and all the changes. Anyway, the frame has been shaved, smoothed, boxed, reinforced, and painted PPG bright platinum basecoat/clearcoat. The front and rear suspension has been replaced with late model chevy truck components, with a posi trac rear end and discs all around. The inner fenders and firewall are also bright platinum, and the truck itself will be viper red with a white interior. I have a set of 20 inch torque thrust 2 wheels (chrome) that are wide in the rear and narrow up front, and I also have a set of 20 inch momo wheels that are absolutely beautiful, but I just think that the torq thrusts look right at home on the classic pickup. We have a mild smallblock motor that pushes around 400 hp/450 lb/ft of toruqe. It's a very streetable motor, as this truck has been designed from the cam to the ignition to the tranny to be run on the street with the exact dimentions of the tires that I will be running. It's no slouch though. All that's left to do is repair the cab corners and paint the truck. I've already done a lot of the body work, as many of the panels are new and we've done a good bit on aligning them and keeping the gaps perfectly even, which is no easy task with reproduction panels. They are manufactured by GM, but I still consider them aftermarket because they were produced 20+ years later.

I also have a 91 camaro RS drag car (streetable and street legal-kinda). It's as close to old school as you can get, as it's a very rare AC and radio factory delete car with no power options on the interior. Some of the young guys are probably thinking why would you want a car with no A/C? But the guys that remember the muscle car years will remember that options were kept to a minimum to conserve weight and budget the money on the huge motors and such. We found one of the guys that designed the Richmond 4 speed transmission for nascar, as GM used the same transmission one year in third gen camaros. It cost too much to produce so the idea got the boot. We found a designer that restored cars and had enough tranny parts in his basement to build us a brand new 4 speed, only bulletproof. The 4 speed transfers power to a fully built Moser 9 inch posi trac rear end, and a tuned port L98 engine with a set of fully built, ported, and polished vortec heads provides the power. We ran the tuned port because Dad lived in Nashville and we built the car to be smog legal. After Dad passed away and I registered the car down here, I pulled the TPI system and the laptop computer programming and control center out of the car and put a Holly competition carb on that I had built by a friend who is what I call a carb scientist. Of course we're running full spohn chassis parts and suspension with an eibach rear traction system that has an airbag in the left rear spring to help with traction. It consistently runs 11s, and I do mean consistent. I can pull 10.80s but I'm going to have to build a full cage to run that quick and I like the streetability of only running a partial cage to keep the car stiff.

My daily driver is just a beater, 90 Chevy pickup that I bought because a lady was going through a divorce and wanted to pay it off. I gave her $600 for it, and the dealership had just installed a brand new goodwrench crate motor about 8000 miles before I bought it. I actually bought it for the motor, but the truck gets such good gas milage and drove so good that I decided to drive it. I also have a 2003 Chevy extended cab pickup for work that I spend most of my time in, and we're going to transfer that truck from the company to my name soon.
 
Well the question was asked bouy my cars. Maybe on the next project, I'll simply put a K&N filter and some of those light up exhaust tips so you don't have to read as much, I really don't want to give you brain strain or anything lol.

Really though, very nice pics and nice rides posted by everyone.

Insaneatv, I absolutely love the wifes S-10, it just screams muscle with the stance, the hood, and the perfect wheel and tire combo.
