lionbull Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 1990 nissan maxima, rare 5 speed.i was 14 (2004)and it wad first time i ever drove a car. killed it once and was golden after that. that poor car went through a fresh water flood in 2003. water all the way up to the roof. we changed the fluids and drained the water from the engine . after a few weeks of sitting it started right up and my dad drove it until 2006 and put 25,xxx miles on it post flood. i have had 2 other 3rd gen maxima 5 speeds , something about those cars keeps dragging me back. did you see the movie maximum overdrive? when the cars came to life and terrorized the town?

Starfyter Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 M274 "Mule". When I was 12, haha. It's a 2 cylinder horizontally opposed air cooled motor with a 3 speed transmission. My parents have one, and are part of the Military Vehicle Collectors of California (MVCC). As far as cars go, it was my dad's 1993 Mazda Miata. http://olive-drab.com/images/id_m274_full.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taeisallin Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 My first manual experience was with my uncle's 1986 Hyundai excel. Funny thing it's made by MITsu (precise) and rebadged as Hyundai. This was in a desperate situation where my uncle was gambling his life away, and his wife begged me to drive the car somewhere before he gamble the car away. I was about 13 at the time, but I already knew every aspect of driving stick from the video game "hard drivin" anyone remember this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
