Suggetions of an LS swap are punishable by death.

I wonder how long til they just go to a powered version, something like this;

One of these days I’m gonna buy that SVT Contour, and you bastards won’t be able to stop me! Just you wait!

Nowhere nearly the same.

One of the advantages of driving stick. I also try to avoid braking as much as possible in traffic.

It’s intended to direct some airflow over the rear window in order to keep it clear of rain and to prevent exhaust gasses from being sucked into the car when the rear glass is down. Don’t know how effective they were.

Those little cars are pretty darned hard to find anymore. And as examples go, this one looks pretty clean. Damned clean for the price. And the total showing on the odometer is a surprisingly low number, just 52,000 miles.

Running and driving and can easily be made to look a lot better for like another grand? And well into the realm of “fuck it” money? NP all day long.

My first job out of college was a management trainee at a trucking company. You. Do Not. Want. To. Know. Seriously, I’ve seen 55-gallon drums of hydrofluoric acid loaded on top of crates containing aluminum ingots. There are thousands of DOT and such rules that are completely ignored for the sake of “I don’t give a…

Half the possessions in my house were wedding gifts; a quarter were broken things I picked up from a dumpster or curb or neighbor’s doorstep and fixed with used parts I bought on eBay; the remaining quarter were items I actually purchased in working condition. I…

The Toyota C-series 5-speed manual will not take you years to find. In fact, they are incredibly easy to find, and relatively cheap too. I believe it would be a C52 for the last few years of the AW11 model MR2 if you wanted to go for as close to stock as possible. But in general any of the C5X transmissions would…

Oh heck yeah I’d buy that for $1,800. I’d buy it tomorrow if I were within a few hundred miles. I’d spend the next few years looking for a manual transmission to swap in to it, and in the mean time I’d still have a great second car.

Did not even have to read anything before clicking NP. The shell alone is worth asking price.

Somehow 22 k-cars is a sickness, but a dozen metropolitans is absolutely awesome!
