What a funny/strange/fun little car...so I kinda got one sitting in the driveway by the Super Saab.

Supposed to be a daily driver (um, eventually) so I can dump the Super Saab, but damn, it's looking like more of a project car. More of a project than I can handle really, but what the hell. Anybody heading to Ft. Lauderdale anytime soon? hahaaaa

Glad I didn't actually pay anything for it.


I finally got my internets back and just wanted to say howdy proper...you morons!

Um, right. And you'll keep my dogs for the summer?

But yeah, fun cars. Minimal mods will get it in the 12's. Good enough for me on a daily driver. F'r only has 80K on it. Old man had it since it was new.

6/20/2007 3:53:49 PM

haha, yeah. it sounded mean. damn thing never did run any more than a few seconds though. i can't say much, the subaru was dead in the water for a couple of heats.

6/20/2007 3:55:25 PM

i know a guy with one that has an hx50 on it with 1 of the scrolls blocked.

6/20/2007 5:44:18 PM

I've got a friend who works on a lot of Fords and he's had a couple of those. They're a lot cooler than you would think.

6/20/2007 7:40:46 PM

good luck. where is all this money going to come from to build? shit ain't cheap. there are TONS of cars out there trying to get on the show, you should have seen the turnout at the rock a while back.

i'll be happy to do the towing if by some miracle you get on.

6/22/2007 12:29:07 PM

My roomy is Puerto Rican...I'll get him to steal the parts.

All Out at the Rock? Buzz called me from there. Too funny.

But seriously, this piece of shit has a chance. Worth a shot anyway. Cisco is in and ready to roll.

6/22/2007 12:33:53 PM

6/22/2007 12:35:36 PM

You need to lay off the meds. Demo derby? Remember? Rolling the old Chryslers?

6/22/2007 12:37:06 PM

6/22/2007 12:55:16 PM

Yup. Cool dude. And he want's to get this Turbo Coupe f'n rollllllling!

6/22/2007 1:23:55 PM

6/22/2007 3:10:12 PM

I'm more into boat races right now. But swamp racing sounds pretty damn cool.

6/22/2007 3:12:01 PM

6/22/2007 3:44:52 PM

Thunderbirds were pretty much all I drove from '96 - '03

I drove those things into the ground, and they rarely, if ever, gave me a problem... I had several in that time period b/c I drove a lot & gave them to my Dad & brother when miles were starting to get high.

When I bought 'Sally' (My mustang) I gave my last one back to pops, and he drove it back & forth to work for another year or two.... My brother still has 3 of them.

Not the prettiest car in the world, but gets the job done, for sure.

6/26/2007 11:26:35 AM

just dont gt an older v6 they blow headgaskets like its their job

6/26/2007 11:28:00 AM

6/26/2007 11:30:01 AM

Wanna buy another one? I think there is one in my driveway.

[Edited on June 26, 2007 at 11:33 AM. Reason : ^^ oops]

[Edited on June 26, 2007 at 11:34 AM. Reason : ^^^ dammit haha]

6/26/2007 11:30:42 AM

Nope, I'm more than happy with my baby.

And Will already has one of the 3 as his parts and tinker toy.
the 2nd is a 97 V8 (with only about 28k miles on it), and the third (which was my second one), is a 92 LX (with about 100k on it).... I think he has it covered, too.

6/26/2007 11:38:40 AM

The only "Sally" I'm familiar with. They were docked right down from us in Bahia Mar a few weeks ago.
