Let’s rewind 10 years to the day my wife and I were driving to the social security admistration to get her name changed on her passport so we could go on our honeymoon... She is driving liesurely and there is a broad, sweeping right hand turn ahead at the crest of a hill. Now, this turn has a median between opposing…

I think you may have, possibly, made your circle too small.

Wife has owned a ‘13 4dr g37x s since 2013, now with 92k miles. Only costs we have incurred are general maintenance, meaning fluid changes (oil, front and rear diff, transfer case and transmission) all have been performed at the recommended service intervals meaning about $850 at the dealership every 36k miles when…

I somehow always seem to under value my cars when selling them off. Last one i sold was a 2000 4 door very basic white Accord i drove through college and for the first few years after. It had reasonable mileage at 120k, but i had always taken care of it. Had a folder of reciepts for every 3k mile oil change i had…

Every hour of fear I spend
My body tries to cry
Living through each empty night
A deadly call inside

I used the same approach to hold the hood open for oil changes on my 2004 grand cherokee for the 6 years i owned it!

My story of learning to drive stick is a bit unique. I had a friend in high school that paid $175 for a rotted out Nissan hardbody pickup with a 5 speed. The poor truck had 150k miles on it and had lived a real rough life, but a few of us learned that summer the beauty of a lightweight vehicle and a weak clutch when…

It only took Pontiac a few years to realize the error of their ways and bring the snowflake back. The 1992 TA i drove in high school looked just like this (save for sadly not being a GTA)

Look at them indeed! Good people make bad decisions all the time. I could deal with those for a bit while looking for a replacement set of stockers. As to the mileage, we are talking about a mid 80's rx7. One should expect to do a compression test prior to purchase. Also, having bought low mileage cars and…

I am in Omaha, but that car is 2.5 hours North of here. Now, this car... in Minnesota, is the one for your money. This is the best 1st gen rx7 for the money i have seen in a long time. Buy it!!! https://desmoines.craigslist.org/cto/d/mazda/6215566653.html

Hate to nitpick myself, but her car was a 1998. The higher tier 1999's got the DOHC instead of the 3800.

Wife had a 1999 intrigue GLS back when we were in college. I dont recall hating the car at all, though i should.. the leather interior and bose stereo were perfectly acceptable, and it wasnt as lofty as you might think. That said, the amber daytime running lights/turn signals had an issue in that the socket would…

The way this reads I am picturing your straight-line family tree.

Absolutely! The garage, in our case was the ultimate selling factor. After 4 months of searching, the wife and i had decided on a first house that was going to fit the bill and had arranged to speak with our agent the next day to put in an offer. Wife goes to work the next morning and a business acquaintance tells her…

Daily drove that exact car/color. 1995 240sx se 5spd from 2001 to 2007. They were nicely built cars, but the ka24 truck engine sucked all of the potential fun out of them. One of the few cars i have owned that i dont get nostalgic about.

Because judicious application of rust eraser!

And... they are flat out sexy!

Ahh, he made it to the home of OMHR!

Dont have any good pix on my phone, but meet Stella.

I had to CP this one. I have a 1971 oldsmobile cutlass with a brand new performance built 6.0 ls at about 500 crank hp, very built 4l60e with 3k stall, 8.5" 10 bolt with a new eaton posi and new 3.73 gears, new quick ratio steering box, all new UMI springs, shocks, sway bars, adjustable upper and lower rear control…
