Time to hand in the Man Card
 

Went shopping for a new car for the wife and for trips etc.

Ended up with a 2009 Toyota Prius, less then 10k on the odo and a 7 year 100k warrenty.
Overall i was very skeptical of hybrid's in general and the test drive really sold me.

So i better find some manly man stuff to do to not make it so silly

Bad pictures

Congrats on the new car! And you can't argue with that warranty.... smart move!

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

Congrats on the car, and yea.....you'll feel manly soon enough being able to pass gas stations saving money for smokes while others are have to fill up every other day.

I like your Beagle :)

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

Keep telling yourself that. You will NEVER feel manly in that car.

On the positive side, it is a peppy little car (not fast), it has more get up an go than you'd think. I rented one for a couple weeks on a work trip, and I hated just slightly less than I thought I would.

In the interest of full disclosure, I drive a hybrid, but it's a (IMO) more manly hybrid.

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

The black car parked next to the Prius looks sporty. Is that yours as well?

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

Congrats on the new car...watch out for that gas pedal. :D

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

You can make a few mods to it.

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

Did they fix the gas pedal on it?

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

yup, turn in the man card.



:r

Pardon me for being "offensive" by typing out Jeff Dunham's comedy routine about the Prius.

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

What's Your Hybrid sound like? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXK63...layer_embedded

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

Next you will be turning in your Humidor I guess.

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

LOL @ the comments. Don't need a specific car to make me feel like a man. I do every time I come home and tell my wife to get my dinner on the table right away.













Of course, that's before she laughs at me and tells me to make my own damn dinner.

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

Ummm Mike, after seeing you in the mankini, your man card was revoked last year. Nuff said :r :r :r

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

At least your saving gas besides go out and get a tattoo and some mag rims for it. That'll make ya feel better.

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

Didn't they have it in hot pink?

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

Use it to sneak out at night!

She will never hear the ROAR of that beast of an engine................

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

Lol, good eyes, yes it is a 1993 Z28, also have a 1923 ford t-bucket.

The funny thing is the z28 is open header for the time being so definatly have the loudest and quietest car on the block.

My beagle was just checking out the new ride not sure if she quite likes it yet.
Not all of the toyota's were under the recall, this car was one of the non affected Vin's

Definatly takes alot of getting used to when your car shuts off when you stop.

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

Ooooo. Pics please!!!!

I have a 23 ford t-bucket myself (No the guy in the background holding the pocket pup isn't me) :tu

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

Very nice! do you have anymore interior pictures of it?

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

Nice ride. Loving that yellow. Where did you get the headers?

This is the only interior shot I think I have. It's a bucket seat set up from Total Performance. It's nice since it sets your butt back at an angle, raising your knees up instead of a straight bench seat. I'm a big guy and can use all the extra room I can get in this thing. HA

I'm in the middle of helping my Dad build a 27 with a top for his own.

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

Nice cars! :tu

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

Love the look of that interior.
Planning on doing new interior on it before too long.
The headers are called Zoomies got them at the hot rod nationals in okc from jegs.

They use baffles like a motorcycle exhaust would use to quiet them down a bit.

How the hell do you shift that thing with two people in there?

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

LOL... it's a Lokar Automatic shifter. It just lays down a few inches when in gear. I gained a little foot room by going with an automatic and decided to give it right back with a huge over sized shifter. :r

I do get a lot of complaments and WOW factor from it though.

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

whats the off set on the rear wheels for the camaro? it's either 56mm or 36mm...can't tell from that pic

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

They are replica Zr1 style wheels that came with the car when i got it 4 years ago, not sure on the offset.

A little update on the prius, the gas gauge was down a bit so i filled it up 5 gallons, 49.6 mpg

Re: Time to hand in the Man Card
 

nice mpg...and if you post a better pic of the camaro I can tell you which they are
