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!)

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.

May as well submit mine for consideration:

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.

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?

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

You can. But only when offering me the right amount of money. I take trades as well, although I'm quite picky.

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)

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?

Tom McParland > Paul, Man of Mustangs 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.

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.

Dusty is very legit. I guess he would win if you count TAG stuff as his, because rally.

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.

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.

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.

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?

ddavidn > sanchez 09/19/2013 at 18:20

0

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.
