post up your previous ride before finding greatness in the 355


98 f150 V8 4.6l <-- nicknamed DirtyBoy

i loved the exhaust setup on this thing, True Dual setup(no H or X pipes on this) with 2 cherrybomb glasspacks and 4" tips with a 45 degree bend at the rear... sounded like the roar of satan at startup

no pics unfortunately but here we go...

right before the 355 i drove a 06 Subaru Legacy 2.5, before that i had a 1995 Jeep Wrangler and before that i had a 1988 Merkur XR4Ti (still my favorite out of the bunch!)

i did not really have any big mods, my Subaru had a SPT short ram intake, the jeep just a 2.5 suspension lift with 1.5 body lift and 31's, and the Merkur was fast enough as it was with a 2.7 Turbo

No pics of it, but drove an 89 Buick Regal 2 door coupe. 2.8 v6, had 4'' dash speakers, 4x6'' in front doors, 6x9'' in rear deck, 2 10'' subs in trunk. Just about drove the wheels off it, had a leaking head gasket and I could put my fingers inside the top of the rear shocks. Miss that shaggin waggon...

First car was a 89 Camaro, then it was a 91 Eclipse, then it was a 98 Civic, then it was an 04 Dodge Ram 1500, then it was my 05 Colorado.

Thrown into the mix also were 2 street bikes. A 95 Kawasaki ZX-7 which I traded for a 96 Kawasaki ZX-7r.

My favorite out of the bunch besides the bikes was the Dodge Ram. I wish I never would've traded it in on the Colorado, but at the time I was driving right around 100 miles a day and was only getting about 14-15 mpg in the Dodge.

The pic of the civic with black rims was right before trade in. The white rims I put on when I first bought it. The only picture I have of the Dodge is in the picture with my bike so that will have to do. I don't have pics of the Camaro or the Eclipse.
