Default Enough of the 'what do you hate' posts

How about instead of asking everyone what ****es them off and what they dislike etc. Lets hear a few things that you love about your cars. Whether it be something in the design, or something youve added yourself. So tell me, what do you like about your cars?

ps. im not intending to make this a bragging thread.

I love the shape of the VN - VS Wagons, and the fact that a 6"3' bloke can sleep in the back and actually be comfortable (with the back seats down of course)

Damn straight, it's like having a queen size bed on wheels.

Comfortable? 6"3'? I just hate the fact you the seats dont fold flat, leaving either your head or your feet to be raised up while you sleep. When I first bought mine I was like yeh sick I can sleep in it after parties. I did that 3 times. The novelty wore off and I soon realised that it would be much easier to just go inside the persons place and find a bed. However I know it will come in handy one day.

i love the way my car clicks and goes when i put my foot down a little and how i've got the shift points worked out so that i know where and when it'll shift or when it'll hold.

I also live the simplicty yet shaply figure of a VS and being a simple exec theres no extra tom-foolery with airbags or ABS, its all down to the driver im in control and i love it.

I love the way that my car can propel me down the 1/4 in under 11.3 seconds, i love the fact that people dislike me because i say what i think. I love the way i can live my life how i want to live my life after many hard years when i was struggling to set myself up.

Most of all i love my girl whom between us can now give our future kids the best future possible.

i like the vn because of its
-looks
-roughness
-1st gear
-its on gas
-big boot
-being 6 foot and having my seat comfortable AND my back passengers having enough room.... (note: if your tall dont get into the back of a little 2door, its never comfortable)
-it was brought cheap and i own it 100%
-cheap parts
-my two tone dash (not finished yet) but it will be
-power for dollar
AND
-i love my future plans for it........


ok i think i summed it all up

I love the fact that I got my car for nothing (nice present from my mum after she bought herself an "04 Caprice and had nothing better to do with the VS).

I love the fact that I had my VS converted to gas for nothing. Thanks to the $2000 government grant, and my dad being a gas converter by trade and only charging me $2000 for the conversion

I love the fact that it only costs me ~$30 for a full tank of fuel and it gets me 400km of driving easily.

lmao well i love how much minux pi$$es me off sometimes

I love v8's even if i'll never afford one. I love the sibling rivalry of holden vs ford. I love a bourbon after a hard day at work. I like smiling when i finally get what i've worked hard for.

I love cars the more i learn the more i want to know.
