Let's see your ride

Hippy Chick.....have no idea. Probably was too drunk....LOL. I spent lots of time doing things not very productive.... I will say, I have not had a drink in over 29 years... a good friend of Bill's

But, for rides, Porsches have been my favorite, currently the photo of my 1999, 996 Cabriolet, posted earlier on this forum is what I drive occasionally. Always have had gasoline in my blood. Oh, the 996 runs an open exhaust from the cat back. Not a daily driver but hellacious when one gets into it. My first car, a 1958 VW bug, also had open exhaust, plus two Amal motorcycle carbs on it...... blew 7 foot flames out the tail pipes when backing off.....as I whipped up on my boy friends driving their MG TD's and TF's....
 
I traded my 08 Z06 for this 2014 Turbo S.
Stock pics, but mine is almost identical.
Thank God to depreciation!!

Thank you, sir! It's certainly nice to finally have the exhaust and tunes finished finally. It's only an extra 50 hp or so over stock, but it makes a big difference, especially that razor sharp throttle response, and of course the lovely noise this motor makes.

Good to see your machine is purring along Charles!
 
My ride is a 2010 Toyota Camry Touring which has very low miles (just under 22,000 miles) and is in immaculate condition. Fairly humble compared to many cars posted here, but as they say, she's got it where it counts (see car audio pics below) ;).

OK, this is a small portion of one of my "Rides", but after all, it is the important part.

CanAmSpyder_Exhaust_11.21.2016_TFL-1 by Tommie Lauer, on Flickr

Oh BTW, I only ride with earplugs. What the photo shows is a Cherry Bomb glass filled (maybe) 2 1/2 inch tube, which in some small way reduces (poor word for this) the sound from the CanAm Spyder F3. The first muffler has been replaced by a unrestricted straight pipe.

Essentially, a fully open exhaust which is not too loud with very small throttle, but when hammered, big sound. And when closed throttle on over run, lots of crackles. Even cracks between shifts. The Rotex 1330 cc engine is a screamer.
 
A nice tweak I did to my Porsche 991 - Burmester stereo, is I swapped the Burmester tweeters for these Focal F-53K tweeters.
***Also disconnected the center dash speaker which screws up the stereo imaging.
Sounds even better!!


Also, added mesh grill to protect the center radiator.
Why Porsche never designed this is beyond me!
