Your First Drive Home..

[BrianV8]

picked mine up off a buddy live an hour away. Coils were shot, stock boost would make it sputter like mad. Almost hit a dead deer lying in the middle of the road

I took the bus/skytrain to annacis island. had to walk 20 mins from the gate to the main office -_-

Well my first ride was WICKED for the thirty seconds it lasted..... I rolled the car out of the Dyno bay, when across the street to put thirty premium in it, roll out of the gas station, hit it, lit up the tires, let off, slowly got into it again, lit up the tires..... shifted to second, got into it pretty good expecting it to hook up.... it didn't. LOL. I had a pretty big smile at this point, turned around and rolled back to the shop, at which point a woman was freaking out at Ryan..... Saying I was a F***'n Idiot.... I got out of the car, I tried to apologize.... She said I wasn't sorry... and called me a F***'n idoit and that she was calling the police..... I laughed and said go ahead, you can't ruin my day now, with a S**t grin. I drove the car back into the dyno bay.....

Twenty minutes later, the police showed up, he laughed when I told him what happened, he asked to see the car, he had a drag car of his own. Perfect, No tickets only high fives.

I love my car.

Hey All, I got my first 1990 skyline GTR yesterday. Drove it home from Toronto to Hamilton during a snowstorm lol. Scariest drive ever!!!
500bhp in snow is retarted but surprizingly the car handled very well. I love the sound of the hks 2530 when they spool . Got into hamilton took the car to the carwash to get the salt off.
Then parked it in my garage for the season. Can't wait till spring .

Forgot to mention, I was totally tripped out the first time I looked out the right window when I went to check my rearview lol. What a EPIC car

Haha funny story.
I thought I needed a new summer car so I headed to JDM in Calgary and picked up a 4 door sexy blue beast
Never EVER driven stick before... Haha but I operate alot of machinery That I always pick up the first time, so I thought standard would be the same , not quite. I went to pick up a heavvvvvvy moded Silvia but..... Let's not go there haha!

So from calgary to edmonon let's say I stalled maby 30 times haha and took a exit and ended up down a 1 way so I learned reverse very quick lmao!

picked up my car and while stopped at a red light people started asking me questions and on my way home on the highway i stopped to get gas and as leaving the parking lot pulling onto the highway with my gf following me let the clutch out and gave little bit of gas and the car went sideways haha greatest feeling ever

[Chewy]

saw an r32 gtr in person in 05, decided to get a gtst cause I was a brokeass.
ship arrived.
called in sick to work
went with a buddy to fraser wharves who was picking up a 320 on the same boat
my car turned out to be the only pristine example in the yard so I felt even better
got half way home, and greddy water gauge was climbing fast, had to let her cool down for a bit, dumped in some water, caught the ferry and enjoyed tearing up island backroads until the wee hours of the morning... Plan to do this exact same thing minus the mishaps this upcoming friday with the 4door, hopefully my white man frame fits in the little man seat.

Gosh ! after reading back through all of these i miss my skyline ..... i sold her two years ago and actually i dont think i have been on this site since or very rarely .. i miss skylines so much and every time i see my old baby driving around here it breaks my heart ... on that note i think i might just have to buy another one this summer .. many r33 gtrs in pristine condition modded kicking around here in canada these days or later r32 (perfer) Gtr's built and reliable ? I think i need to start reading around the site again to se if all of the old fellas are still around ...
cheers guys and enjoy !

I had my car towed from its sitting location to my local Nissan shop so it could be put on the ramps for an inspection. The brake rotors and pads badly needed to be replaced, but the rust was low and besides a few small things it was in decent shape. But I didn't want to risk a nasty fender bender so I had it towed from the Nissan dealership back to my house. The first few weeks we replaced the pads and rotors and I finally got the chance to drive my baby.

That same day I let my brother take the car for a little rip so I could get a video. The sound still gives me a shivver!

Well took two flights to get to my destination. Ears were ringing couldn't hear a thing and my whole body felt like death. lol. And not really looking forward to a 24 hour drive home. lol.

Anyways once I saw my car, I was instantly in awe. I was very happy.

Drive up down to the Ferry(sp) was amazing since there wasn't much traffic...then once I hit the Highway 1 and it was just jammed during rush hour and it was a day before the long weekend (for easter). Then I started driving through the mountains and the view was amazing and all. Lots of curves. and Just in awe since I've never been in BC.

Then, it started getting dark...and stress level just shot through the roof cause it started to snow heavily and the roads were icy and wet out of nowhere. Cars were driving around 40km-60km so I just followed and used the cars in front as guides...anyways, after that hell. I got into Kamloops and thinking I was very lucky to make it out of there. So I just decided to hit up a motel.

The next day, it was just gorgeous...15 degress, sunny, no clouds on sight. It was an amazing drive......then 2 hours b4 hitting my final destination......got pulled over by cops...they were pretty cool about everything. just general questions.....cause I came from BC, and looking so tired, eyes all red they probably were thinking im a drug dealer and asking a bunch more stuff.

after that gong-show my beast finally got me home safely with no troubles.

Now I realized that these cars are basically priceless,,,cause of the **** ppl have to go through to get em. lol.

Tips: If u can afford to ship the car to your house...it would be the best way to go. And GPS is a must specially if u've never traveled or know the place well.

***sorry if my spelling or grammar...my heads still ringing from the ups and down of the BC hills. lol. and still feel like ****. it's 9am
