I have a 1987 fullsize bronco, 1989 Ford F-250 (old farm truck), and I borrow my brother's Rendezvous (best SUV Evah! Thanks Toyota for teaching GM something)
lol, i've got a beater civic, i just can't make that thing die! beat to hell, is an ex-ricer car, 181k miles on the clock, uncomfortable seats, noisy, ugly, and starts every damn time i turn the key.
my supras and scirocco are sitting in a field, thinking the rocco will be redone this spring
in the mean time, i'm looking for a specific car for a dd.
and a truck...i need a truck..i hate trucks

i had a chrysler new yorker but i was filled with fear for the trans so i sold it. Now im DDing both my trans am and 924...whichever i didnt drive the day before lol. I like to keep 2 cars on the road in the winter so i can get to work no matter what. In the summer my bike is the backup
Edit - bike as in bicycle...im not that cool

honda preludes can take a serious beating...especially the second gen....any toyota with a 22r/re engine seem to last forever even when you beat the piss out of it.
i generally dont keep cars too long but any honda car with a 4cylinder or toyota 4cylinders tend to be built for daily abuse.

Enter my '94 Toyota pickup. 22re, 5 speed, 4x4, Marlin Crawler rear bumper, BFG MT 31x10.5's. Whenever I get a damn spare moment, I need to start building the high CR 7MGTE for it, and put a tru trac in front, locker out back. It's a rare occasion that I get stuck now, it'll be a monster when I'm done.
And my summertime daily driver is a '95 BMW M3 5 speed. I drive most of my cars pretty hard. However, I maintain the crap out of them.
I DD both Supras..
One's a nice N/A cruiser with a mainly stock body not too flashy..
my other is the white turbo swapped soon-to-be-beast-ly-.....er...
front lip scrapes and that's at stock height, I cannot imagine lowering it and surviving the mean streets of LA..

My Supra does a LOT of miles and is never babied.
It's a great allrounder and seems to now do everything quite well but it's taken a lot of development to get to this point.

For me, I DD a subaru imprezza. There really a mecahanics car. Very reliable, very very easy to work on, great gas milage and with these crazy new england winters awd drive is great. For me I will always have a toy, a bike, and a scooby doo.
02 altima, beaten almost all the time. My only problem is that it has piston slap when it is under 18*F.
My bank roll is small, so I dd a Geo Metro (44 MPG FTMFW) and beat the hell out of it. I've gotton mud on my roof on more than one occassion and I used to off-road it more than the average truck. It has a few small issues, but I'm working on that. As for the Supra, I drive it when I can and never baby it (even though I have 498 miles of babying to do due to recently installing a stage 3 6-puck clutch).
Typically DD the Cressida in my avatar.I beat the ever living shit out of that car and it just takes it.I consider it my 4-door work/play/backroad drift fun/trailer haulin'/kid carrying/work truck/luxury car.Got to put a new fuel pump in it tomorrow as it took a shit finally,514,687 miles on the car,guess I can't complain about it.

Does it stop when you warm up?
That's a 2.5 isn't it mike?
Sounds like piston slap, I get the normal valve tick. ANd yes, it is a 2.5
Ok. My subie did the same thing during that strech. I readjusted to valves to subie spec .007. And bingo nice and quiet. (I hate the 2.5 motors I've R and R'd like 4 in the last 6 monthes.

I daily drive and beat the shit out of my supra, it runs a 12.8 in the 1/4 and it is an all stock bottom end with nothing but a lexus afm and a 60-1 ct26. Might I add that I bang gears like a mofo and have gone through three first gear thrust washers.
