Right, the bitterness and insecurity he displays actually makes me pity him. Think of how much time he has spent fretting over his record and trying to prove to his old boss that he was worth something. Move on dude, you did a thing better than most people ever will.

Its amazing what a dry climate and not using road salt will do. Leaving Montana I am always surprised how fast vehicles rust in other places. I made a street rod out of a 1940 Ford that had sat in a field 30-40 years and outside pretty much all its life. Almost all the body was there.

There is property tax in Montana. Its to dodge the sales tax on new cars. Our property taxes are still low compared to many places, but they exist unless my county clerk is running some massive scam. Tons of celebrities and rich people have second or third homes in Montana and having a residence in Montana they can…

Or camshaft was a V8 swapped transformer

It seems like someone says that about every car these days. To me as long as I can anticipate where it will go and how it will turn in, it’s good enough for me.

It was really cool to see what the Viper did for the Corvette. The C4 wasn’t a bad sports car but the couple chances I have had to drive a C5 in anger showed how much gm stepped up it’s game. I set fast time of the day autocrossing in a base C5 with Hoosiers and hawk brake pads. Those two cars elevated each other’s…

A Plymouth Voyager, so it can collide with a space probe become sentient and return to meet the creator

I cant speak from the perspective of being an XJ aficionado, but when I had one 235s filled up the wheel openings , I would imagine it would be hard to put 31s on it without a lift of some cutting. I see a fair bit of big tire off roaders around here though that look like someone got the tires and in the excitement…

I would just be happy if they could do it and not look like it was done in 30 seconds with a plasma cutter or sawzall with no strait edge. Serious, an extra few minutes and maybe some rubber U channel and it would look a lot less like a hack job.

Same color as this one, 87 Nissan Sentra Wagon with an automatic. One of the cars I learned to drive in, the first day my parents brought it home I accidentally bounced a baseball off the hood. I have fond memories of this car, but would never own one. Our other family shuttle was a 1970 Chevy C20 4x4. If I had the…

So they are catering to vampires who live paycheck to paycheck

I think it harkens to the days of mechanical clutch linkage and pressure plates that had to hold back big blocks. Before I had the sense to take it out of great at a long light my street rod had a clutch pedal that made your left leg burn.

I believe what you just described is Stockholm syndrome.

Right, they were really good at using the same parts on nearly every car in thier lineup back then.

That reminds my of my 87 Dodge Dakota because of the fuel gauge the size of the speedometer. They used the K car gauge cluster and where the tachometer belonged they put the massive fuel gauge. It used to irritate my K car loving friend, but then he would troll me by pointing out how many K car interior parts made it…

On the “upmarket Omni” yes, but on the Plymouth? Forget about it, let the hatch fall or use your free hand to hold it up.

I think I would go Holden as well, probably something with a supercharged 3.8 and manual transmission if importing cars were my thing.

And while your there you can have the title notorized. Kill two birds with one stone

Its a shame, those cars were a lot of fun. Ford had some parts out to make it handle really well for about $600 and I turned it into an autocrosser that lifted the inside rear wheel, then sold it right as the warranty went out. They depreciate crazy fast too.

This is quick compared to the clutch packs failing in fiestas that had the Powershift transmission. When I had a Fiesta and visited the forums many people seemed to have to wait 6 or more months just for the warranty parts and I think a group of owners eventually had to sue Ford over this issue.
