Here's the family Hot Rod. 1968 Impala SS. It's got a 427 bored .030 over with a Muncie 4 speed, 4:11 rear with 4 wheel drum and no power assist. We're the second owners. We also rigged up a replacement wiper fluid pump as a squirt gun out of the front grill to "spritz" unsuspecting spectators at car shows!
Not the best pic...but that's from the weekend that the exhaust cutouts went in.

My other ride is a highly modified 08 Subie STI Hatch. 395 WHP and 375 FT LB so not too shabby.

Some very nice "other rides".
We dont have any kids so the wife lets me have a few toys, and the Jeep is our "other car".
I daily drive a Mini Cooper S about 90 miles a day, The wife handed it down after we picked her up a 135 M Sport, which eventually led to 3 vehicles and eventually the Jeep.
Thankfully, she loves 3 pedals as much as I do, so both are always a fun time driving.
Been able to do a track day in this thing, it is a blast. Took the wife to the BMW ultimate Driving Experience a couple weeks ago, and now I think she is ready to do some track days too.
Sold this over the summer:
And bought this as the new project. I changed the pipes and seat, and started powdercoating stuff. The battery box cover you see was one of my first projects powder coating.
It joins the "wife's bike" (AKA, she wants to go for a ride, and this is comfy)

Freakin sweet ride!!!
I miss being able to commute in that fashion. My old commuter was a Surley Crosscheck. I rode to work everyday rain or shine. Guys at work thought I was nuts. Best accessory was my coffee tumbler holder followed by my Light and Motion lights.

My first love, 91 lx 5.0 soon to be twinned
It took me a long time to break down. Part of it is the stigma (at least with those I ride with), along with the general "attitude" of HD riders in the DFW area. I finally decided that I wanted to do a minimalist build, and the Dyna just fit what I wanted, so I did it. At the end of the day it just fit my desires/needs. Then the jeep came along and stole all its budget for mods, so we shall see how things progress...
The short shots are definitely loud, though the Twin Slash pipes on the Kawasaki are not quiet either. Actually set off a car alarm with those, on accident. :crazyeyes:
Dig the sticker, but my problem with bikes is the cost. I cant ride to work now due to commute, but none of my bikes make enough economic sense to justify them as $$ saving. I have more money in the wheels and tires on one of my bikes than I do with the wheels and tires on the Mini in the picture above... And there is no carbon involved.

Totally. The sticker is kinda hypocritical. Being that it'd probably be cheaper to drive considering at the time I was rolling on Phil Wood hubs laced to DT Swiss rims and Conti touring tires that cost as much or more than wheels and tires for my Jeep
.And if co-workers and friends think you spend too much on your jeep, try explaining that kind of cost to someone on a bicycle...
"What the hell, you can get a complete bike at Wal-Mart for $100. Why would you spend that on just the seat"
"Cool, when can I see the new wheels on your car? Wait, what?!?! You spent that on your bicycle? Just the hubs?"
