LOL, I’ve thought about it but then I’d have to deal with people:). The next county over uses Tahoes in black or Exploders. Damn, I miss Crown Vics:(


I’m going to go out on a limb here since you’ve primarily focused on little trucks that you are also making that reference directly at them?

Otherwise, nope. Wrong. I daily (ok, so I never leave the house but still, the thought is there) a 3/4 ton Dodge, it’s happiest at 70-80mph and it doesn’t care that the speed

Yup, even the full-sized ones rot and no brand rots in the same damn place either. Fords rot on the frame and spring hangers first. Dodges turn fenders to red dust. GMs have gaping rockers and cab corners. Dunno about Tundras and Titans, no one buys them up here...

Thanks:). The best part is I got the 550 for a whopping $175, sunk $400 into it in parts. The Gixxer I traded a spare laptop for it, it had been laid down so all the bodywork was junk. I have less than $100 into that since I had most of the parts lying around (V45 Magna headlight, levers, etc). The only thing I had to

Although his personality at times rubs me the wrong way (but not like his older brother who just acts like an asshole), Kyle is a bit arrogant but when you have the natural skill he has, you can back it up. I would LOVE to see him behind the wheel of something different. He has this stock car shit down.

Note: that felt washer that you cannot find in the rebuild kit or in the instructions you got for the ancient Mikuni you are trying to rebuild from an old KD? Make sure it’s not a packed disk of sand...

What surprised and impressed me is the dash and general front interior. It looks better than I expected. Hell, it looks better than anything Ford, GM or Chrysler turned out not that long ago. I still cannot see myself in the market for one because of the roads in my area, but if I ever move to a less rural (meaning

Came here just to star whoever posted him. I didn’t even bother thinking about posting myself as I know I would be beat to the punch.

I’m short (5’2” with a 23’ inseam) and small hands, so this limits my choices for street bikes. I’m 49 and have been riding since 8. Did motocross as a kid, then drag racing in my teens and early adult years. Now I just ride for fun and leave my competitive activities to 4 wheels. My bikes rotate pretty much every

This was the only one that is on the list that I didn’t see as overtly predictable, even if it is a P-car, just because of the general hate of those on here. Everything was pretty predictable, which is very sad since these are usually fun:(

Recipe for list:
Porsche Boxster.
Too many Japanese cars.
The obligatory Jeep

I bought a similar GS550L off Craigslist in NH. Paid $250 for it. Non-runner, some electrics worked, some didn’t. Would start with ether but that was it. Tore it down in the basement (it was winter). First step on the electrics was to either clean up or replace all the connectors. BANG. Power to all systems. Pulled

Wow, all or nothing? What I take from his post is a truck is useless for HIM. Hell, trucks are useless for a lot of people. If you don’t need to regularly haul or tow large\heavy items, you can easily get away with a non-truck. My son moved his entire apartment, including queen bed in a ZJ. I happen to own two trucks

It’s spot welded, not seam welded. I was just under my ‘78 Transporter this weekend repacking my CVs. My 71 Westy the same. No different when it comes to rigidity than bolt on like a standard body-on-frame. A unibody uses subframes with a stressed center structure. This is a frame, two main rails running front to rear.

Seriously, I could see Acura disappear like Oldsmobile and no one would care. I know I wouldn’t. Rebadge the NSX as a Honda (which honestly, that’s where it should be) and let Acura fade off into the dust. Next, let Lexus, Lincoln, and Infiniti go. I don’t see what they do for any of the corporations. Unless they

I’ll be honest, I don’t even think she’s all that attractive. Never have. And once her personality has been shown, even less attractive.

Now, those Force ladies, well, that is an entirely different story...

“pausing briefly to have a chat with team co-owner Tony Stewart, who seemed to be trying to calm her down. “

Oh, the irony...

But then this, well, this pretty much sums up not only her, but him as well. Like his dad did, he says it like it is.

I’m going to step out of the norm, bypass the very much expected Miatas, Fox Mustangs, old Fords and Caddys. Even my favorites - the VWs and Jeeps (but I have to say the couple of Manx and that Bradley almost got me) and go for just what you need for the summer....

A goddamn fridge on wheels:

You know what pisses me off the most about power windows? Getting that ‘just right’ spot that lets air out without whipping around the side of your face. Crank = as much window as you want gone. Button? Hit it too quick, the fucking thing goes all the way down and dumps rain (or worse, snow) in. Pulse. Pulse. Pulse.

Ahhhh, I have a nice, real, 265-70 R16 spare on a solid, steel rim. Life is good.
