Rest in peace, mighty Datsun!

Awesome! I've always wanted to save up a $h!load of change and go buy a new vehicle with a truckload of it. I need to get going on that if I expect to get anything new in the next ten years!

Get that carb rebuilt, and slice that cat right out of there. You'll be good to go!

All the old tanks get Castrol GTX dinosaur oil and the new cars get Mobil 1.

That's definitely the gayest car in recorded history, unless there's a Village People or Richard Simmons-themed Barris Kustom sitting in a warehouse waiting to be dusted off or something.

If I were going to spend $26,000 on a Buick with big rims, I'd make sure it was one that was deserving of such a price tag, like this handsome 1926 model: A pimped out Lucerne?! Be serious!

Happy birthday, meng!

Is it something fruity like The Facts of Life or something?

Saw a Jeep Cherokee destroy an Acura Integra in front of my university yesterday; best part was it was COMPLETELY the Integra's fault (dumb bitch on a cellphone turning the wrong way into a one-way across the road without looking)! The Jeep was out a cornering lamp and a headlight surround; that's it! That made my day! I remember last winter in the university parking lot I saw some funny Toyota on Toyota action too: it was a bitterly cold day and this fat chick in a Scion xB opens her door as fast as she could and hits the cheap plastic side mirror of the Corolla parked next to her so hard that she dents her door and watches as the mirror of the Corolla snaps off and goes skyward and landed on the hood of the Camry parked diagonally across from it, once again, with a nice dent as it came down. It was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen! What I wouldn't give to have that moment on videotape, along with her dumbfounded reaction as she looked around to see if anybody had seen it. I did, and I laughed so hard that tears ran down my face! That day I was thankful for the abundance of Japanese cars because they were all available to get their asses kicked by the carelessness that most of their owners display each and every day.

I went to Catholic school from K-8 too, but it was a good old-fashioned nuns whacking you with a pointer or yardstick if you did anything wrong school. Most people were too afraid to try anything too crazy for fear of having to curl their hands over the edge of their desk and have their knuckles whacked with a pointer as hard as a nun could swing if caught. However, if your school is a "self-directed free for all," then I would have no problems believing that their fruity backwards new-wave attitude towards educating would spill over into their attitude towards and methods of discipline (i.e. assigning blame to any and all things besides the actual problem). The fact that he's an athlete sure as hell won't help your case out either, as you seem to be finding out. Mark me down for another vote for beating him within an inch of his life :AH-HA_wink:

MacGyver, right? That's the one I'm pumped about, anyways!

Too bad nobody ever tried to make her go to singing lessons; she's always sucked.

Probably old Lincolns or Chryslers instead of old Cadillacs, and have an old Bronco instead of an old Suburban.

I gladly concede to YJ because, once again, I need another vehicle like I need another vehicle like I need a hole in my head, and also because I find it very admirable that he wants to buy a car for his dad. I, too, have received much help over the years from my father with my various vehicles; hell, everything I know I learned from him, and I'd love to pay him back some day by buying him a car. Maybe an exact clone of the dark blue '70 Grand Prix he lovingly drove and cared for through high school and his young adult life, before a drunk lady in a Chrysler Imperial totalled it on him one winter night. I quit, dude; your pops deserves it!

Tree-fiddy and that's my final offer! Not because I couldn't or wouldn't spend more, but because I need another vehicle like I need a hole in my head right now; I'm already maxed out with the three I have. But I sure do like that Cutlass!

I got my snow beast Suburban on the road today, so I say bring it on!

How much you want for the old girl?

Well since we're on the subject of weird compact 80's Chevrolets, there's a girl around here that drives a mint '84 Cavalier coupe with the "Type-10" badging; not one you see very often.

I wouldn't give you a nickel for most any Ford made after World War II (or most made before, for that matter!), but I've always liked the styling of the '77-'79 fullsize trucks and Broncos. The fact that it has the 351W instead of the 400M, which is a mutt motor that will scare away even the majority of most die-hard Ford people, is another big thing the truck has going for it in addition to its condition. Could be worth a few grand to the right person.

Now with pictures!

How have we all managed to go five pages without mentioning the front wheel drive Lincoln Continentals of the 1990's, bearing their trademark blown rear air suspension? Nobody here can tell me that they haven't passed many a filthy, rusty Continental with its nose to the sky, popping a perpetual wheelie as it drags its rear bumper cover down the road.

I saw that set the other day and was wondering why they put such $h!ty wheels on the '57 Bel Air convertible. I mean honestly, I've seen better wheels on no-name crap from Hong Kong and Russia that don't even look like the cars they're supposed to. Still worth picking it up for that red Eldorado convertible alone, though; I already have it in robin's egg blue.

Buy a cheap piece of crap to drive every day and go buy or build the El Camino of your dreams. Why would you drop all that money on a new Challenger that will only decrease in value when the space in your garage (and your heart) would be far better filled by a '70 SS El Camino that will only increase in value?

One of those goofy little Suzuki cabover pickup trucks that are like | | this big. Some big fat dork in a plaid shirt was driving it!
