New to the forums. Currently have a BMW 330xi as my vehicle to get to the mountain. See where that's a problem? More than a couple inches on the road and I am screwed..


Looking for input on what vehicles you all drive to the mountain. I have about 12k to put into this. Maybe more.

Thanks for input--

Well, here is my ride. I guess I'll be about the only Mazda representing in all these Suby's, Jeeps, and Audi's. 2003 Protege5 (gotta love wagons) I live in the midwest and have a 4 hour one way trip to our local hil so mpg (25 w/ rack and car full) is a big necessity and ground clearance isn't.

Here she is in winter form.



Love the Thule with the easy access slides. I got this thing for a steal, brand new for 35 bucks. haha



And here is an older pic of it in summer attire. Although I now have the block off plates for the factory rack so I just take off the rails for summer.







My buddy has a pretty sick AWD Honda Element that is also our snowboard ride. Here's a pic, hopefully he can post some more.

I was looking at a protege a couple weeks ago- same color, too! They seem like awesome cars, but everyone told me not to get it. But that wasn't the reason I didn't get it. The lack of awd or a sunroof was sort of a bummer. :confused:

I'm looking at a 2002 Explorer V6 with AWD and a few 2000ish Subaru Outback base models with the auto trans and under 5k. I've been driving my dads Explorer lately and I'm liking it, but is it worth losing the reliability and pickup of the Outback? The Ford gets 20 mpg and the Subie.... well you all know what they get :rolleyes:

Those wheels look pretty sic. I'd like to see some more pics of the car in summer mode. BTW, do you autocross? Because those tires look like they're super sticky.

use Meguiars Plast-X. Best thing I've ever used on headlights. It actually lasts for a few months as well and it is a super quick procedure.

Not exactly feeling the r33 as it is not exactly my style (I like the car, but really dislike the deeper JDM style), but don't let that take anything away from it. Please just grab some glass lenses and not blanks as I feel it will look more "clean"

I do like the RB26 though! Last summer we swapped a RB25 (w/ an upgraded turbo setup, but do not remember the turbo specs) into my buddies 240 and that thing would lay down tracks all day.

Haha, I have a couple. Nothing crazy. My friend has more. He is Biggamehit on YouTube.
