Heres my bosses '51, Its had about 3 feet cut out of the bed and frame.



And this is a 350 chevy lol.  It used to put out about 600hp on the motor and he was runin a 250 shot of nitrous. Now he put on AFR heads and is in the midst of installing a twin turbo setup and is figuring it'll put out around 1200 horse.

Well, I want an SX/4 the way a little girl wants a pony... nowhere to put it and no idea how to take care of it. If money were no object I'd have a Nissan GT-R, an SX/4, a big garage and a personal mechanic. Probably a few other things.

DownwardFlame, there is a blue car parked on the street near my house that looks similar to your avatar. I keep wanting to walk over there so I can read the badging on the back and find out what it is, but it's cold outside.

Cars I've owned include a 2001 Impreza RS that I bought new, and that's it, I'm still driving it. I love sporty little coupes with AWD.

Thank you. :) Technically other people take care of it and I just pay them. I was 23 when I bought it. When someone says my car is old I feel like they're saying I'm old, too. It does not feel like it's been thirteen years... and then to remind me the head gasket goes, the axle seals start leaking, and the steering rack fails. Old age sucks.

Non eagle I would have to go with a 1971-74 Amc Javelin, a machine or Scrambler if I had to chose something other the Amc I would go with a k5 or a trans am. ... love the classic american cars

if I could have any non AMC cars I would choose in no particular order a 1957 Chevy Bel-air 2 door hardtop, a 1966 Ford Mustang convertible, a 1969 Dodge Charger 440 six-pack, a 1979 Pontiac Sunbird 2 door hardtop, a 1985 Chevy El Camino SS, a 1983 Toyota AE86 GTS hatchback, a 1989 Nissan Skyline GTR, and a 1991 Nissan 240sx hatchback.

Gotta steal some of yours hear I am A HUGE Mopar Guy as well as some imports like the 89 Skyline and 70's Toyota Celica..

AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!

lets just say my family has owned a lot General Motors vehicles, a few Fords, fewer Dodges and one very old Mercedes Benz (the only foreign car we ever owned) so it's really no surprise that I'm not a big fan of Dodge although I would sooner own one them than I would a Ford, unless that Dodge is a neon at which point I would crush it just to put it out of it's and my misery.

I have a big Ol faded, loud, stinky, ugly 91 Ford F150 pickup named Ginger (its red, sorta) She starts and runs every time we go to take off the trash or get some lumber

I like Fords, my wife has a Flex, when I get to drive it I love it! Probably because Im a wagon man at heart.....

I also like Dodges, I think the Chargers and Challengers look cool. Used to have a PT Cruiser we used for our business, we put 345K on it and I still sold it for $1200 bucks when we got rid of it.

I rent a lot of Nissans, they make a pretty decent car and truck, and they are all made about 30 miles from my house!

GM currently doesn't have anything that excites me
