Pictures of your Daily Drivers - hot rods no KIAs please

[grancuda]

I want to see pics of cars you guys daily drive that are hot rods. I have never wanted a muscle car just for Saturday afternoons, I want to drive them any time I drive. I put 30k in a year on a '70 'cuda w/360 crate motor & Keisler 5 speed a few years back, I could out run a 6 speed LS1 Camaro and get 20mpg. Looking to get back into driving something I like instead of the import car I have now and want to get some ideas.

My newfangled 87 Ranger with a carb'd 5.0L and 5 speed. I generally don't like cars newer than late 60's but this serves me well. Runs 12's, drives great, gets good mileage... i think i need to find a 40 Ford sedan delivery body to drop on the chassis.

You know there has to be a story in there somewhere about a guy with a real hot rod type KIA don't you?

Yep we have a guy John Randy Streeter who runs a KIA at Maxton and he's gotten better Every meet this year... Came in fairly well in the Points gig with us and basically drove the poop outta this thing...

Again it's one of those deals were the guy loves the car... does everything he can with what he's got... and doesn't hang around dreaming of junk he doesn't own...

Like it or not... He's a Hard core Junkie... ( with a freaking Kia )

i've got a 5RUNNER that gets driven like it's stolen. but, i guess it gets put into that 'kia' catagory. it's a 2wd, so i'll keep the michelins, but those intake baffles had to go. I'm hot rodding as I can. maybe it'll get the trd blower, but more likely when I grenade the powertrain it'll get an overcammed sbc & a turbo 350...



what, don't you like wet & soapy 10 year olds? ;D

Keith -
Thanks for speaking up for Randy. We'll have to make sure he knows about this site. As Keith said, Randy's the real deal, too. I don't know why he started with a Kia (temporary insanity?) but he's worked the little devil up to near 120 - in fact, he may have made it. That was his goal for last season. His Kia is significantly quicker than my Camaro was last season, but I hope to kick tail next year with the addition of some actual HP. "Hope" is the operative word! We're getting to where we kind of like the guy!

Later
Dan

It's fat, slow, and underpowered but I like it.

I purchased this '63 Nova in Spring (2007). It has a 355 dynoed at 346hp, turbo 350, and 3:73's. I use this to get to breakfast & work 3-4 times a week, did some minor mods to bring it on drag week (13.30's), and have some fun.

Hopefully by the end of the year the Skylark (my Avitar) will be parked there too. As the front of the Centurion can attest to it see's a lot of highway time (been to both coasts ;D ).

Will daily drivers from 10-15 years ago be accepted?
This was my daily driver back in the old country (it was my first car) between 92-97 IIRC:



Unfortunately, this is how it ended its life
