What car do you drive?

Love some classic square dash gauges. Thanks for sharing.

I'm crazy about oldie dashboards also....though, if I crash, these will cut me to pieces, as opposed to the new plastic & soft ones.
Sorry, not square however.

I've own some forgettable and some lovable cars, 1997 Pontiac Sunfire (first car, loved it), 2006 Pontiac Pursuit (G5, meh), 2005 Acura RSX (loved the agility, less the lack of power)

Currently own a 2005 SAAB 9-3 Aero & a 1976 Triump TR-6 (this one is for sale actually)

Picture is of this winter when I moved to my new home. The SAAB was able to tow the Triumph 2 streets down with no problems (I didn't drive the Triumph in winter). I don't own garage queens but do take good care of them. 😉

White Nights, very nice. How high does it roll? Do you raise it much higher when driving? I'm curious about rub especially when turning.

White Nights sounds so familiar..

Blurry pictures but that is the height it rolls at. It is on air suspension so I can raise it even higher if needed.

I don't rub with this setup even when riding pretty low, because of my stretched tires
 
More or less just after I cleaned her the first time! 😀

BMW 120D M Sport

Not bad considering I'm not one of the mummy & daddy bank people of my generation! There are a few things that need doing, you may be able to see the wheels need re-doing but I know people in the trade (that sales place is owned by my friend!) Other than that though I love her to bits 😀 especially going from a Renault Clio Dynamique to this!

u'r talking my favorite decade, Daddy-O!...those wheels r one of my all-time favorites also.

Glad I have company in the "Drive 'em, not show 'em" dept too.
 
Love those old dashbords, would make me proud to take my last breath leaned up against that after a major crash 😀

Unlike modern cars where you will be smothered by a gass filled bladder, and then take your last breath leaning up against imitaded plastic.

Do you work at a pipe plant? Or is that just a photo op?
I used to work at the Ocean pipe plant.
That looks like Ocean pipe but I can't see the stamp.
Might even be the Oak street bridge in the background.
