My Ride: "Angel I's" 2005 525i Debadged, Remote Homelink, Full Burl Package, Cold Weather PKG, Premium Sound PKG, BMW Wheel Stems, Biege Rubba Matz, EURO Tag, Dual Zone Vents, Automatic Car Ventilation, Rescue Kit. Due up: Aux Input, TINT, and K&N Filter and some Zaino LOVE for my Angel.
When I had my Porscha, I bought a GAS guzzlin' Lexus LS-400 for my hooptie. There's a guy selling a 1987 325E here for 2K or less. I drove it, but the frontend seemed loose. My 'COOL" SA said I could bring it in for a quick check up...FOR FREE. The trunk leaks a bit from the seal being a bit worn. Other than that, not much else major. Has a auto starter also, and it started everytime. My main man at NEWPORT said he could get me parts............SOOOOOOOO, for the strugglin' Good Hooptie or NOT?
There's a few on eBay. I lost the bid on a sweet one yesterday...Black on Black, and lots of NEW stuff replaced.
What's your "HOOPTIE"....RICH and WEALTHY need not respond

The civic blends in well and gives 30-35 mpg. oil changes and timing belt only needed.

Well, if you can call it a Hooptie, I got a hand-me-down, a couple years ago from aunt, to dad, to me...a mint-condition, '91 Cadillac Sedan DeVille, RED, with a white vinyl top, white seatbelts, white-white leather interior with red carpet, red leather dashboard. It's got the front bench seat with a folding armrest. Co-workers prefer to go out to lunch in the Caddy than in the Bimmer! I work in the artist district in L.A.f, (not too far from jordan23junkee), and have had numerous offers for the car from the "hood". It was ahead of it's time with it's turn signals that light the road to to right or left..depending on which way you flick the signal, it's auto-trunk closer, and the red lights on the rear portion of the doors that warn on-coming cars when doors are open. Along with the bright white opera lights in the interior with the white leather and red carpet...it looks like Christmas when doors are open and the interior is all lit up! Wasn't so bad either that I got it with a whopping 16,000 miles! The 4.8 liter engine ain't so bad either. I get a lot of looks from both 60+-year-olds, or bruthus and esse's giving me the thumbs-up! Next upgrade...wider, whitewall tires - the whitewalls, not the tire! I already have the white fur pillow in the back...still waiting for the furry dice as an office gag-gift Rides like a boat and runs like a beaut! It's the favorite of my Hooptie's!

damn.. sounds like a really nice hooptie wendell. pimpin in the caddy now huh? haha
well my family has a 1989 toyota van.. the van that came out before the previa. it kinda just sits out in front of our house unless we just really need to use it or just move it across the street for street sweepers. last time i drove it was to pick up a christmas tree back in december. and my mom drives a 1990 benz 300 E. its been a project lately and still is. the whole dashboard works now, and the funny thing i thought was that the dashboard lights are different colors in each area. but hey it works, especially after having the engine rebuilt. good car.
