2005 Pathfinder SE 4X4 Off Road. Mods include tinted windows and 18" 2009 LE wheels with 285/65-19 Nitto Terra Grapplers. Its fast, mint, and tough as ****. I like to smoke PhiSig in his yuppie mobile. I also recently acquired a 1993 Honda Accord EX which I currently use for late night Clifton runs. We should have a beater meet.

I've researched a lot of the options to shed the pounds and I'm at a point where it's loss enough without compromising too many feature comforts. I would do exactly what he did to get it down further but that's when you get hardcore and rip out the interior or purchase things like the JDM bumper beams (7 lbs per beam compared to stock's 30/40 lbs) which crumple like beer cans in accidents =P

Yes DJParis seems to be a fender ahead of me in whatever he drives.
That accord is pretty stout, I must admit, suspension still feels pretty tight
for a 15 year old car.
We need to have a SUPER beater demo demolition derby, my Dookie Brown on Brown '86 Nissan Stanza Wagon will own u.

Trying to find B13 SE-R or another S13 but after owning over 7 240s I think its pretty useless for a winter beater/DD. B13 would work quite well though.

'98 honda accord. Blizzaks and Thule roof rack with motordyne, JWT, tein, and a bunch of other stickers that came with all the **** i bought for the Z. Gained 15WHP with all those stickers.
Which probably brings me up to 85 horse power since it has 210,000 miles on it. It can sit for 3 weeks and start on the first crank everytime.
God I love that car

97 Lexus LX450 (Land Cruiser) - My DD for over 10 years and 200k !! I love this truck. It has an Alpine DVD with custom headrests with monitors and hidden dual 8" subs w/amps, full time 4wd and maybe 15-18 mpg. All I do to get ready for winter is switch the 22" rims for the stockers
