jkrupa128 3 Posted January 14, 2005 My first car 1976 Buick Skyhawk pros V-6...Very fast cons none that I can think of mods and fixes history In-tank fuel pump died and I could not find a replacement.

dj6ross 1 Posted January 14, 2005 1993 Dodge Dakota (3.9L V6) :laugh: Pros Good Runner. 4wd is great for icey mornings. Low miles for a 12 year old almost daily ran, (84,963 miles) More power than my buddies trucks :) Manual trans. is way more fun than auto New clutch New front brake pads & rotors Cons The radio only works sometimes. Brakes I don't like to much, its like 80% front / 20% rear :( Balding tires (they are original) Needs muffler :shifty: Gas mileage..its a truck hehe. Mods Straight pipe to replace my muffler. It's a temporary thing. ;) Current Status In the backyard, with a full tank of gas. I drive it to school and work. No accidents, bumper to bumper contact with my friend is on purpose. And on country roads. Remember, I'm not tailgating.. :shifty: I'm drafting! DRAFTING: The practice of two or more cars, while racing, to run nose-to-tail, almost touching. The lead car, by displacing the air in front of it, creates a vacuum between its rear end and the nose of the following car, actually pulling the second car along with it. http://www.culturesnobs.com/getimg.php?img=P1130002.JPG from last weeks snow storm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Galley 1 Posted January 14, 2005 My first car was a 1974 Plymouth Satellite. I got it a week before high school graduation. It had a 318 c.i. engine, so it wasn't very good on gas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
