chad_22 Member 44 Member For: 18y 10m 6d Posted 07/05/08 06:02 AM Share Posted 07/05/08 06:02 AM 1. 1995 1.5L auto lancer (not fuel injected). Installed 15 inch rims, extractors, exhaust, $500 spoiler, new paint job and I had to drive the thing in the truck lane on the freeway because it didnt have the power to make it up the hill. What was I thinking.2. 1993 toyota celica. Not a bad car3. 1999 Jeep wrangler. Kept it for the summer and then got the sh*ts with putting the top up and down. Great fun on the sand though.4. 1995 vr commodore. Threw eggs at it and scraped them off with a paint scraper. Someone ran into the back of me and I couldnt be arsed getting out of the car so I just drove off and waved.5. 2003 xr6T. Apart from the jeep on the beach this is the best yet. Wish I got a manual though. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/363-upgraded-to-xr6t-from/page/11/#findComment-672287 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock t Member 12 Member For: 17y 1m 7d Gender: Male Location: WA Posted 07/05/08 07:03 AM Share Posted 07/05/08 07:03 AM I had a Subaru 1800 4wd as my first car. Great little 4be just precious little clearance. Jumped it off a couple of cliffs at one point. Needless to say, it didn't last long.Then got an '86 FourRunner. Went round Oz in it! That died of rust.Do I notice any difference between these and the T.... yeah. Do I miss having a 4wd? F*#k NO.
