car thread

Postby desperado » Sun Sep 12, 2004 7:51 pm

a thread dedicated to cars so post here if you have a nice car or truck you would like to talk about.
if you have looked at the welcome thread you know about mine. it has me frustrated since the exsaust manifold cracked and is spraying exaust onto the starter. which means car doesnt start after its been driven... plus my window cracked for some reason, trouble just likes to come in packages huh?
but on a side note i came up with a cool new idea for a custom car, the "wolfmobile" ill explain later after i solidify some of my ideas.

I have a Chey S10 Pick up. Paid it off a couple months ago. Go Me!!
It looks like we may be trading my wife's car in tomorrow on a Chey Impala. I think the transmission is about to go out on hers and since she drives to her parents in North Carolina a good bit she needs something reliable.

dont worry i felt the same way. just save up and buy a peice of junk but cool car, fix it up and sell it (like i did with my 79 el camino with a 71 vette motor (before you say anything it didnt run good and had a rusthole in the side)) then buy yourself something really good

my first real car 1974 mg midget. ive had to rebuild alot on this car the brakes, the clutch, the throttle cable the shocks, the whole exaust system, the springs on the rear. this week if i can i rework the rollbar on the front and get the points set and the timeing right. even with all of its failings it gets 40mpg, and can do 95 mph ive taken that fast, somthing that probably should never be done.

I miss my car! It's a white oldsmobile bravada, but I had to leave it at home when I came to college (some rule about froshies not having cars first semester), but I drove an hour a day (minimum) all last year for school so I really miss the thing ...

Love is that feeling you get when a girl looks at you and it feels like your driving a car at high speeds and experience a sudden drop. You know what i mean? That sudden sinking feeling you get in your stomach? Yeah, that's love. Leave's you speechless everytime.

today i came up with the best idea ever. a muscle car themed custom motorcycle. royal blue. muscle car looking rims, lake (or is it leg?) pipes sticking out the back on both sides, 69 ss camaro looking lights on a grill like i beam (you know the 3 rectangular lights beside each other) ill probably start on this once i turn 18 (so i can apply at the local movie gallery and blockbuster)
but on the other hand ill sketch out or make notes on an exisiting pick of a el camino for my wolf ride el camino (think the cartoon wolf that always whistles at people(no its not going to be bad just hilariously cool))
