I am not finished with it yet, but I still drive it.
Custom Paint Job done by me
Replaced Bench Seat with Bucket seats
5% Tint (I hate the sun)

1. Overhaul of exhaust to improve outflow, and put in a cutout valve to switch between silent and straight.
2. Modified ECM with integrated Desktop on-the-fly adjustments of the ECM
3. Lowering up to 4"
...maybe someday:
1. Convertable Hardtop
2. switch headlights to clusters instead of halogens.
3. Custom homemade grille (mine has been mutilated by Vultures and Camaros).
4. Green Neon underbody kit

2001 Yamaha R6 - Custom black paintjob, greggs turn signals, fender eliminator, set of plactic balls under license plate
1995 Eclipse - New black paint and bodywork from High Tech Collision, Carbon Fiber hood, urethane full blitz kit, Chevy Zo6 Mesh, Wings West Spoiler, Greddy dual exhaust (Rolla Muffler Mart), Carbon Fiber tails, 18" MR7 Wheels, custom stereo fiberglassed in hatch area, painted interior, headliner, door inserts, stereo system, all seats wrapped in black leather, etc... My car is done professionally, it is not the one of the "Weed Eaters" you hear ripping down Hwy. 63 from 10 blocks away. The car is nice to look at but is s-l-o-w, I get beat by Sunfire GTs (that's why I got a bike)
My car was alot of fun to build but an absolute waste of money. My heart is set mostly in V8s (I used to have a Trans Am) They do not hold up well when hitting concrete highway dividers at 80+ mph
there's mine (click my www). it's a ranger dropped 4" but most of it's stock. i'm going to have it painted professionally (along with it being frenched and shaved) and maybe dropped 2 more inches someday. plus, when i have some extra money on the side, i'm going to buy a decent fiberglass tonneau.
edit: i'll just post the damn thing so you dont have to open a new window

I am finishing up a Razor scooter that has been modified slightly .
I took a "Weed Eater" Brand 2-Stroke engine and mounted it to the back. It will have throttle control at the handle bars and a chainsaw centrifugal clutch to let me stop, but I need to change the braking system. The pure friction-fender that is usually supposed to stop it won't cut it at speeds of 20+ MPH, but this will be fun when I finish it.

Here?
'97 Saturn SL 4door. A massive 100hp. At least it has a 5-speed. Boring, and slow but gets me around and gets 38mpg. I need to tint the windows so less people can see me driving it.
Home?
'72 Chevy C10 Pickup. Built 350 (mostly by me), runs 15.44@94.9mph in the 1/4 mile using a G-tech. Slow time, but high speed. Has lots of wheelspin and is geared very high.
Some of you proably saw me driving it around last year before i got my go-kart, err, Saturn http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/456900/1
Sadly it currently has alot wrong with it, the rearend is shot and the brakes don't work very well, so its off the road for an undetermined amount of time. Also the best gas mileage i have ever gotten out of it has been 13.5, and it has to run premium so the fuel expense was killing me.
Hopefully when i get out of here and get a real job i can afford to restore it. I'm thinking resto-mod with a LS1/T56-six speed combo.
I've got a 2004 Hyundai Tiburon. It's black, you'll see it in the TJ lot and around the town. Easy to spot out since there are only a few tiburons.
My only modification is audio, which consists of a kenwood headunit and Sirius satellite radio. However, I have an Injen Cold Air Intake sitting in my room right now that's going to be installed Sunday with the help of a few friends of mine when I go back home.
