house and crew (and their cars)

pairings: none

warnings: none

summary: combining two of my hyperfixations into one post: house md and cars!

a/n: HIIII just so everyone knows this list will not include any cars past 2011 so it can be accurate to the actual timeline of the show :) thanks for reading!

—————————————————————————

house: 1970 dodge challenger r/t in “go mango”

-we know house drives a dodge dynasty canonically in “house md” BUT I wanted to give everyone their own unique car so sue me

-house gets this car because I can’t imagine him being a “new car” guy; he’s definitely into classic muscle cars/loves the nostalgia of his childhood

-I thought this specific yellow-orange color would be an interesting choice (although his motorcycle in the show is in fact a somewhat similar color)

-he definitely only brings this out for special occasions though; no way he’d daily drive it it’s far too special

-I feel like he’s one of those old guys that details his car constantly and tries his damndest to keep his challenger in tip-top shape

-he definitely knows how to work on cars (even if his leg prevents him from doing a whole lot)

-goes to car shows to judge other people and make fun of them

wilson: 1998 subaru outback wagon limited in “rio red”

-wilson is a simple man when it comes to cars: as long as it gets him from point a to point b and has decent trunk space he doesn’t care

-his volvo sedan suits him pretty well but idk…he’s definitely a wagon guy because he thinks they’re weird

-his car would definitely be a rust bucket because he’s too cheap to get a new vehicle; the paint could be completely chipped away and he’s like “eh idc”

-essentially as long it it Runs he will take it

-despite this I feel like he would still take good care of his car, keeping up with maintenance etc.

-probably calls it “ole reliable”

-certainly his daily driver and only car; I believe he drives a c6 corvette later on in the show but I just can’t see him being a sports car guy period

cuddy: 2000 jaguar xk in “georgian gold”

-cuddy definitely has some crazy expensive luxury car that’s horrible to maintain

-went with a jaguar coupe because it’s classy but also just so…2000s

-cuddy is certainly a gold car girlie I just know it in my heart

-I can also see cuddy as a sports car girl like she just wants a little turbo or something but nothing crazy fast

-definitely likes the finer things in life; she earns good money and spends it how she wants

-it also makes her appear confident; sexy and put-together

-she likes that the car is cute (even though it’s kinda ugly (i still like it tho hehe)), probably has some weird old lady name like “rhonda”

chase: 2005 bmw 325Ci in “black sapphire metallic”

-chase definitely wants a car he can brag about and show off, hence why I chose a bmw convertible

-bmw is like the ultimate cocky rich guy car brand so I was like…this is a super obvious choice

-chase would also primarily use it to pick up women with; I can totally see him being like “hey ladies look at my cool expensive car”

-DEFINITELY an awful driver; doesn’t use turn signals, speeds like a bat out of hell etc. essentially he really fits the bmw driver stereotype

-went with black because I also don’t see chase as a colorful car guy

-I don’t think he would name his car but he’s certainly really obsessive about it. like if someone dissed his car for whatever reason he’d be throwing hands

-idk he just generally acts like it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread (it’s still a nice car for sure but the way he acts about it you’d think it was a bugatti)

foreman: 2003 lexus LS 430 in “black”

-foreman is a sensible car guy; he wants something nice but not too expensive and he wants something reliable

-therefore lexus is the best choice for him

-foreman likes the finer things in life but he’s not like chase where he brags about how good is car is or something

-he’s also similar to wilson in the fact that as long as it gets him from point a to b he’s fine with it

-definitely takes good care of it though; washes it all the time, is always on top of oil changes

-I don’t think he does the maintenance himself though I think he takes it to the lexus dealer

-went with black because it’s sleek and a classic color; I don’t see foreman driving anything that wasn’t a grey, silver, white, or black car

-it definitely has that ugly tan/wood panel interior too; house makes fun of him for it but foreman secretly likes it

cameron: 2006 hyundai accent hatchback in “ice blue”

-side note: I know this is a photo of the sedan but I couldn’t find any photos I liked for the hatchback so…that’s why

-cameron is the complete opposite from her diagnostics coworkers; she wants something cheap, cute, and unique

-loves the color of her car, I bet she can spot it in a parking lot a mile away

-everyone makes fun of her for being frugal but she doesn’t care to have a luxury car; it’s simply not a priority for her

-probably breaks down on her all the time because it’s an old hyundai but she doesn’t care

-others think it’s ugly but she thinks it’s cute

-probably forgets to take it to the shop and the engine blows up in it

-always uses her turn signals and is a very safe driver (likely to a fault)

Jaguar E-Type

The Jaguar E-Type, also known as the Jaguar XK-E in the United States, is a classic sports car that was produced by Jaguar Cars from 1961 to 1975. It is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful and iconic sports cars ever created.

Introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1961, the E-Type made an immediate impact with its sleek and aerodynamic design, which was influenced by the Jaguar D-Type racing car. It featured long, flowing lines, a low-slung body, and a distinctive oval-shaped front grille. The E-Type’s design was the work of Jaguar’s chief designer, Malcolm Sayer.

The E-Type was offered in different body styles, including a two-seater coupe (known as the Fixed Head Coupe, or FHC), a two-seater convertible (Open Two-Seater, or OTS), and a 2+2 coupe with a slightly longer wheelbase. The interior of the E-Type was luxurious and featured leather upholstery, wood trim, and a well-designed dashboard with a range of instruments.

Under the hood, the E-Type initially featured a 3.8-liter inline-six engine that produced impressive performance for its time. Later models were equipped with a 4.2-liter inline-six engine. The E-Type was known for its excellent acceleration and top speed, making it one of the fastest cars of its era.

In 1971, the E-Type underwent a significant redesign, resulting in the Series 3 model. This version featured a larger and more powerful 5.3-liter V12 engine, as well as other updates to the exterior and interior design.

The Jaguar E-Type is highly regarded for its combination of stunning looks, exhilarating performance, and accessible price compared to other sports cars of its caliber. It remains an automotive icon and a sought-after collectible among classic car enthusiasts.

🛠️ Gearhead’s Garage Tour (Image Drop) ⚙️

“From busted knuckles to keyboard clicks – here’s where all my paychecks go.”

⸻

📸 Group Shot – The Line-Up at Golden Hour

[Image: Gearhead stands confidently in the middle of his four cars, mug in hand, golden hour sun glowing over a fan-shaped arrangement: Maserati Spyder, Audi S3, Range Rover, and the Panther De Ville.]

There she is: the full stable. Four cars, four stories, one stubborn idiot holding it all together.

Each one’s been picked for a reason — daily, dirty, dramatic, and downright ridiculous.

Let’s break them down…

⸻

🚗 1. Daily – Audi S3 (2023, RHD)

[Image: Black Audi S3 parked neatly in front of a brick suburban home.]

Clean. Fast. Unassuming.

My everyday cruiser. Quattro grip, DSG pop, and just enough attitude to make rush hour bearable.

Tuned? Not yet. I promised myself I’d leave one car alone. For now.

🛠 Mods so far:

– Milltek res delete

– Spacers

– Subtle badge delete

– Spotify premium (mandatory)

Parked outside, always spotless — until I forget and Twunk borrows it.

⸻

❄️ 2. Winter Wagon – L322 Range Rover TDV8

[Image: Mud-splashed Range Rover parked on a dirt track near a farm gate.]

The tractor in a tux.

Picked this one up as a winter workhorse and she’s been bulletproof (by old Land Rover standards).

She drinks like a sailor and rides like a waterbed, but she pulls through. Every. Damn. Time.

💡 Bonus:

– Heated everything

– Rear seats so comfy my mates fall asleep

– Smells faintly of dogs and WD-40

⸻

💨 3. Fun Car – 2004 Maserati Spyder Cambiocorsa

[Image: Red convertible Maserati sparkling under golden sunlight.]

This one? She’s loud. In sound, in looks, and in attitude.

Ferrari-sourced V8, the Cambiocorsa gearbox that loves and hates you in equal measure, and drop-top drama for the weekends.

Every drive is either magic or mildly catastrophic.

💬 Current issues:

– Parking sensors scream for no reason

– Glovebox opens when it feels like it

– I love her anyway

⸻

🛠️ 4. Project Car – 1976 Panther De Ville (RHD)

[Image: Black and white Panther De Ville resting in a moody garage with warm lighting.]

This one’s my legacy project.

Only ~60 ever made. Coachbuilt British madness powered by a 4.2L Jaguar XK engine and styled like something Cruella would crash on the way to a gala.

Restoring it bolt-by-bolt. No shortcuts, no off-the-shelf fixes.

It’s a long-haul project, but she’s worth every scar on my hands.

⸻

📸 Throwback: Me at 19 in the Pit

[Image: A younger, skinnier Gearhead in greasy overalls, focused, worn-out, working over an engine with serious concentration.]

This was me before I moved to IT. No beard. No sleep. No idea what overtime pay was.

Trained mechanic straight out of school — 16 through 24 — then made the switch when my back started complaining and I realised I actually liked servers and soldering.

Still miss those days in the pit. Still do my own wrenching when I can. It’s how I stay grounded.

⸻

🔧 TL;DR:

– Four cars

– Two hands

– One mug of coffee (always)

– And about 3 hours of sleep on project nights

Follow for garage shots, rants about Italian electrics, and the occasional server meltdown
