Default Post pics of your magnificent obsession (56K beware)

It's late, I'm bored, I don't think anyone's done this in RR/Ax for awhile. Let's see pics of the car that drains your money and social life.

My personal ride:


Our '03 FSAE car, which is still under construction. That's me in the cockpit



One of our old FSAE cars that we bomb around in

First Money Pit



Second Money Pit




That was in its prime. Now it looks like this.




Im now looking for another Integra because Hybrids have no real place in the SCCA.

Should be sold by the end of the month. Had a lot of fun with the car, just too paranoid about parking it outside in Northern VA. It's a toss up as to what I will get next (like anyone really cares).

Not really a money pit unless you consider filling up its 20-whatever gallon tank with 93 octane:


Considering I bought a brand-new Torsen for $99.95 and some guy gave me six 16X8 Monocoque wheels (15# each!), this is a fairly inexpensive obsession:


This hasn't moved much since July, so this hasn't tapped $$$ lately:

you do know that the original 280-Zs are slow as *****, right? It's fun to beat the crap out of, but they are not fast by any stretch of the imagination. Now the old 240-Zs on the other hand could be built to move quite nicely...

Not so much a money pit but a time pit fo' sho'.. the kiddie pool is currently a skating rink:


This car hates me and I don't much care for it anymore either. I think it knows I want to replace it.. with a Neon no less:

Here's one piece of chit...



Good shot of the race car, in a rare appearance in front of Catch 22 (probably did not last long:



Since racing cars isn't expensive enough, lets buy a house. Good thinking This shot shows off the truck pre-crash, the race car pre-gutting, and the house:

Edit: point to picture that is a reasonable size

Subaru 2.5RS coupe

I'm going to try to make it out to a few Akron events this year, I may see you out there. I always gravitate toward Subaru coupes

Have you ever been to any NOVR events?

I used to race my 4-door GS-R. I was always gettin' beaten by like .2 seconds by the guy with a similarly prepared 2-door. Hehe. That was some good fun.
