I do not understand people that think like you. I worked HARD to get a job that payed well and had good benefits. Not a government job either, a private sector job. Do you have the education and experience to be a CEO? If you dont, why do you think you should be payed the same? If you want better pay and better

It is on my dream list too, and as luck would have it I got a screaming deal on one a few years ago. Traded a $500 neon and $200 for a slightly wrecked reccaro car. I put new rubber on it, rebuilt the motor and added a new clutch, still was damaged but a DREAM to drive. Then as luck would have it, I was forced out of

So he parted out the merc to pay for the Buick's build? Doesn't surprise me. In my experience with rare cars everyone wants to save them until its time for cash to come out of their pockets. Why sell a car for less then its parts are worth just because someone wants to "save" it?

I was a fleet mechanic for a big fuel transport company for 2 1/2 years. While that sounds like a great idea, out of the 50+ drivers that worked there there might have been 3 that I would trust with a flat head screwdriver, let alone a wrench!

I agree 100%! There was a time in this country when we NEEDED unions, for safety and for fair pay. With all the current government agencies and laws they are obsolete. Well that is unless you think you deserve to get paid more then non-union workers for the same job and have to murder someone before you get fired.

So he put the cosworth engine and tranny into the buick? That makes little sense to me... Am I missing something here?

My buddies old hatch fell into this category. It was a ex-college car and had all the dents to prove it. He rearended a car in the ice and replaced the front sheet metal with cheap black replacement parts. Didnt even have a "fart cannon" out the back because the cops where cracking down. The ONLY thing saying it had

Right now... no. But, give it a few years and once those v6's hit the yards I bet you will see some swaps. You also have to consider that the LS1 has a HUGE aftermarket and thats something I doubt the V6 has, or ever will have. As for getting 30mpg... a buddy of mine has a LS1/T56 second gen RX7 and its averaging

Great story. I had to part out my 89 CSX due to some financial problems, and as luck would have it I located a good donor to put the car back together as I am coming into the money I need to buy it :).

You need to get them to sign a as-is bill of sale. Then when they want their money back you can tell them to get bent. I sold a car to a couple once (knowing better in the back of my head) and they called a day later wanting their money back because some cash only mechanic told them the motor was bad. I nicely

I think it would have looked alot better if they would have ditched trying to make it look "50's". A modern interpretation would have looked much better.

I failed to see where you tell us what he drives, or what his PCH is. So Justin, what is in your stable and what PCH does your garage contain?

Or this one...

I dont yell at them, I just turn the sprinklers on.... lol.

This car is wrong in so many ways and not in the way it is so wrong its right. Its just wrong. Its a waste of a good truck engine, and a absolute WASTE of what could be a beautiful cadillac. These cars done right and it really doesn't take much to do one right are beautiful pieces of American machinery. This is a

The most common mod to these is curring the rear fenders. Most people dont know what a "virgin" early bronco even looks like. Look at the back fenders on this one, thats how they left the factory. Its really hard to fathom that so many people took a saw to their broncos when they were new or almost new. If you watch

Civic hatchbacks and CRX's. In my area I couldn't tell you the last time I saw a unmolested one. Sam goes for factory Acura Intergra GSR's and they have been all stolen and burned to provide motors and wheels for the molested civics.

Nascar looks so boring... But you made this sound like alot of fun!

I agree, it was a VERY good thing my first ride had little to no HP, and neither did either of my parents cars. At one time, I thought my mothers I6 Jeep Cherokee was fast. Speed, well the lack of speed was the only thing that kept me alive. Luckily the 4wd and big tires never failed me as they allowed me to get into

At my school one of the rich kids had a turbo 3000gt which in the hick town I live in, was a exotic. A few months later he shifted from 6th to 2nd on the freeway and blew up the motor. Another kid (3000gt kids buddy) got a almost new BMW. Not sure on the model, I was much more into off-roading then cars at the time.
