Oh, and for 800 bucks or less if I can put my haggling skills to good use, this would make a halfway decent project to bring back from the dead and mess around with. NP, even if half of you guys say these cars are an abomination.

Ah, brings back fond memories of being involved in a rollover “accident” in my friends 1980something Fiero 2M4 back in the 90's.

On safari, in a Safari

I like these big wagons, but this one doesn’t do it for me at 5K. Engine bay is too messy and the rump imprint on the drivers seat gives me the creeps.

Actually I don’t think it is a 200 anymore. Looking at the rear, the 3rd brake light is mounted up high in the 200. The car in the photos has it mounted low beneath the glass.

I don’t know if they had delivery drivers everywhere, but they did in my neck of the woods around 1998. And yeah, looking at my original post, I guess I did start off with something unimportant to the rest of the story. Seemed pertinent at the time...

I’m thinking it might be a 2011 to 2014 Chrysler 200

I was, and still am in the same boat as you.

Once upon the 90's I had a part time job delivering for Little Caesar’s. I drove a 90 Lumina. One of the other delivery drivers drove a 90ish Astro AWD. One night before closing he started to tease me about my “grandpa car”, so I dished it right back teasing him about his “soccer mom van” He tells me, “Oh yeah?, lets…

Yep, just last month the same thing happened changing the brake shoes on my Dad’s pop-up camper. “We got the shoes, and it’s just a 1 hour job putting them on”

What should have been a simple “drain the old transmission fluid, drop the pan and replace a shift solenoid” on a 2003 Chevy Avalanche. I bought it at a dealership in Flagstaff. A trade-in, that sat at the dealer lot for about a year and they decided it needed a new transmission, and it wasn’t worth their investment.…

This one in Phoenix has a claimed 650 HP, for less than half the dough. Sure, it’s not a 6-speed, but with that kind of power I can forgive the lack of a 3rd pedal.

There’s a 1970 Ford F series pickup in the background where the Cutlass Ciera is in a wreck. Also, it almost looks like Hank Hill hanging out the drivers side window of the pickup.

Back in my single days I worked at a casino as a fill-in. When someone was on vacation or a vacant position existed I would fill in. I never knew what job I would end up doing on any given day, so I carried all the different uniforms in the trunk of my car. After working 27 hours one day and filling in for about 6 or…

Agreed, but I just don’t think I could use one to fabricate my own version of the partisan.

Do you want to touch my monkey? Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance!

This thing looks like something I’d make in my garage out of a junkyard chassis and some fabricating materials from Lowes.

Navy planes are pretty robust, remember an incident in Italy about 20 years ago when a Navy plane was flying too low and caught a steel cable with its wing, cut through it, and caused a gondola full of skiers to fall? The plane didn’t have allot of damage.

I’m thinking it was an optical illusion. Those 2 Hornets never got as close as it appears. When they fly overhead, you can see one is trailing the other.

Neat idea, kind of like the little counterweight inside a seatbelt mechanism that locks your seatbelts in place during hard sudden deceleration.
