So many awards today. I felt like one should be car-related. Feel free to nominate fastest, coolest, oldest, most "full of character" etc.
If you have no idea what anyone drives, you can find many of them in the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (thanks Automatch!)

It's a tie between Gimmi, Bandit and the Swedish Bandit.

The second time I get to use this photo.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:22 |

I definitely thought of Gimmi's.

reader's ride list appears to only have ONE MIATA!!!
as the answer is always miata, I guess its that commenter
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:30 |

Oh wow. You really did go there.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:30 |
|
Ill have to go and hunt it down, but there is someone here who claims to have a black f355 spyder. He won the crapiest mileage contest the other day with 9
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:31 |

I think Ramblinrover has the oldest.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:31 |

Anyone driving a diesel stickshift miata wagon.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:32 |

I'd vote for my Camry but I fell asleep trying to find a picture of it.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:33 |

In terms of coolest garage, BiTurbo228 deserves a mention. As well as the cars mentioned in the spreadsheet he's also got a Lada Niva and a black Fiat X1/9.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:34 |
|
May as well submit mine for consideration:

Hadaken drives a Ford GT.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:35 |
|
That dude is not running low on nice vehicles.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:35 |
|
Hadaken is the only one I know of.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:36 |
|
When talking about the best car s I'd vote for BiTurbo, and he hasn't even listed the Lada yet. Gimmi always deserves a honorable mention.

I'm having way too much fun reading everyone's comments in that doc.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:39 |

Not me.
That is all.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:40 |

I'll jump myself into it, especially because I'm somehow not on that spreadsheet lol.
1968 Mercury Montego MX (Cyclone Package)
(I seriously need some new pics of my car!)

I'm going to nominate RB1971's 3.0CS with an S38 swap. Such a gorgeous car.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:40 |
|
I nominate your 406. Also, can I have it ?
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:41 |

I agree wholeheartedly.

nice list. Fun to have open editing for comments. Can one add onesself to that list?
Also, who counts as a "Commenter"? Anyone who posts here even a little bit? Or authors and stuff?
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:44 |
|
Get on that spreadsheet! Nice car, as always. Would be happy to see some new pictures!
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:45 |
|
You win.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:45 |
|
The list is really open to anyone on the web, as long as you have the link. I know the risk is big with that, but I thought it was the only manageable way to do it. I didn't want to put the burden on a team of people to keep adding entries. So add away my friend!

Battery has a SLS and i8 on order.
RB has a 1M, 3.0CS, and a Lincoln Continental
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:46 |
|
You can. But only when offering me the right amount of money. I take trades as well, although I'm quite picky.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:46 |
|
That's...the nicest thing...anyone's ever done for me!
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:48 |
|
Someone has a 1M and 3.0CS???
I give up.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:49 |
|
Does somebody go maintain it every now and then? It looks 'mostly' alphabetical... if I were to add myself should I go to the end or insert where I belong? Past cars welcome on the list? (I wouldn't even try to do that - might be worth of a different list though)
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:49 |
|
I may be a bit biased.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:50 |
|
I am always biased toward those as well...
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:50 |

It's 67 or 66 I believe.

My whip (also updated it in the spreadsheet)
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:51 |
|
Yeah every once and a while I will re-alphabetize the list if it gets too crazy. Drop in whatever you feel comfortable. :)
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:51 |
|
Well done sir lol
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:52 |
|
woah, cool to watch somebody making an entry!
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:53 |
|
oh cool, I can nominate mine for 'oldest' then!
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:53 |
|
I didn't know it existed until just now (shocking). Just added all 3 vehicles.

That is the magic of Google Drive
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:56 |

I would like to enter my '54 MG TF for "oldest"
or did I mean coldest? Perpetual motion A/C!
![]() 09/19/2013 at 12:57 |
|
Yes! Beautiful car! Great A/C!

My had a TD as his first car, I think he still has the headlights somewhere. Awesome car!

Me, because I have the pink slips to both my Dakota that I custom ordered and my Corvair that I'm fixing up.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 13:04 |

I'm pretty sure that's a Lambo , dude.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 13:06 |

You got my vote.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 13:09 |

Had to go in and change mine, since I'm no longer a Land Rover owner.

Well, I used to have an awesome car...
![]() 09/19/2013 at 13:23 |
|
Yes, you definitely did.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 13:29 |
|
Think you could add a header for each column (or put the header back at the top if it moved), rather than having to extrapolate each column's purpose from the entries?
![]() 09/19/2013 at 13:33 |
|
I did have it that way...but sometimes it gets unlocked from the header and moved. Glitch in the Google.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 13:37 |

A '88 M3 and a '03 M5 as well. Where I live you have to drive at least an hour to a movie theater or shopping center, so I spend a lot of time in a car. Might as well spend that time in something you love.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 13:51 |

I'm going to have to give my vote to either Dusty Ventures, we know he's legit, or Biturbo for his little restored euro rides
![]() 09/19/2013 at 13:56 |
|
Thanks for the nomination :)
![]() 09/19/2013 at 13:59 |
|
Dusty is very legit. I guess he would win if you count TAG stuff as his, because rally.

Bimmer is your name... Jetta is your game?
Looks nice!
![]() 09/19/2013 at 14:29 |
|
Thanks!
My initials are BMW (yes, i'm blessed). More not so much VW/Jetta as my game, but more German cars are my game.
In the next couple months i'm planning a 2.5 inch pipe from the cat on back with a magnaflow muffler. I'm hoping within a year to turbo her and hopefully push around 300hp.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 14:30 |

Adding mine to list..
![]() 09/19/2013 at 14:32 |

Not to mention both of them were talking about putting deposits down on i8's. And actually, iirc Battery actually has put down a deposit on the i8, or at least secured one.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 14:33 |
|
Well I have a 96 ES300 (Camry), and the 3rd-gen Camry is the best car ever, so yeah I have the best car
![]() 09/19/2013 at 14:35 |

Let me know when we do this for worst car. I'm pretty sure I've got a contender.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 14:36 |

Well, go on then, make a worst car post!
![]() 09/19/2013 at 14:39 |

Ahh, the Viper GTS guy. I love that guy.

could be worse. could be expired shrimp....

![]() 09/19/2013 at 16:22 |

This is amazing, no idea that existed. And I finally added my car to it.

Any mostly reasonable person would love your garage.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 16:47 |

Hahaha please don't. Just know: Looking up my previous "help me find my next car" threads will do you no good. I completely went off course budget-wise. Being in school, I don't drive anywhere near as much as I thought I would be when I started looking so I lowered my budget.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 16:48 |

Well, can't wait to see what you end up with!

It's okay to be jealous.

Submitting my 2 turbo 80's cars. 89 Lotus Esprit Turbo and 86 Plymouth Conquest TSI. The Quest on is still in progress and a bit ugly, both very Jalopnik.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 18:08 |

Hello fellow oppos! I've been lurking here long enough, might as well introduce myself, and my car, which is still in the process of being restored.
I'm Daniel, and my future ride is this beautiful 1968 Dodge Charger, it came with a 383 and an automatice from the factory. The 383 was gone when I found it and in it's place was a 400, I kept the engine along with the auto (I know, I know, sorry!), and I'm going for a resto-mod. Hopefully, this bad boy will be running in a couple of months.
P.S. I speak damn good english, but it's still my second language, so grammar nazis are more than welcomed to correct me if I mess up my writing! Now, how do I get in the spreadsheet, do I just edit it?
![]() 09/19/2013 at 18:20 |
|
Hello and welcome! My name is also Daniel, though you can't tell from my famously poor username! You are quite free to edit the spreadsheet yourself, yes. If you have any questions just let us know.
Also, someone should be along that can give you authorship here on Oppo, so your comments won't be grayed out and you can post things on the regular page.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 18:25 |
|
Yes. Both. Yes.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 18:25 |
|
I just made you an author on Oppo. Let me know if you need any help.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 18:25 |
|
Done.
![]() 09/19/2013 at 18:26 |

Welcome. Your english is just fine, don't worry bout it.
Also, I'm jealous of the new guys ride. I have nothing nearly as jalop as that.
