My first thread here is about the 72 Convertible I'm building for my Step-Father, but I thought I'd do an intro too...
So first off I see several people have a Forum Shooter award. How do I get that? You may have noticed my username is "ishootstuff"
On to the cars...
My favorite car ever and daily driver is my 95 Lexus SC300 that I turbo charged. I never dyno'd it, but it should be just a hair over 400 horse. It was originally a naturally aspirated automatic. Now it's running 17 pounds of boost (for daily driving & pump gas) and a 5 speed manual. Here's a 0-100 video for your viewing pleasure...

My wifes daily driver is our 1999 F-150 which I call an F-200 because after I destroyed the 5.4 V8, I stuffed a 6.8 V10 under the hood. It was a tight fit and required minor frame modifications but it turned out great. From the driver seat, you would never know all the work done under the hood. It feels like a factory machine. Ford should have built this truck.
You can read all about that here.
My wife and I are also really into motorcycles. We both have street and dirt bikes - 5 between the two of us. My favorite bike is my 1982 Honda CX500 factory turbo. It was so far ahead of it's time. It's got electronic fuel injection on a transverse mounted 88 degree V twin. It's water cooled, shaft driven, and puts out 87 horse @ the stock 18 PSI. Here's a pic of the wifes 87 CBR600F1 Hurricane and my CX500.
Yes, I am a little handicapped, but I do all of my own work - except paint. I can only be on my feet for a limited amount of time which is directly proportional to the amount of beer I have. For the really bad days, I use a mobility scooter. I have a few of those too. One does wheelies.
