Photos of my truck with a big apology for the quality, although it does flatter the truck somewhat. Better photos next month. (Play a game here. Let's call it "Spot The Damage." Title explains the rules.) A short list of what is wrong (posted in another thread).

Sorry about the picture quality had to use my sisters phone.

My brother is a moron who can't spend money properly. So he bought a $h!ty VW Cabriolet from 1990 with busted mechanicals for a grand. He didn't even change the oil that sat in the car for nearly a decade and the water pump didn't function. So naturally, he nearly died while driving it. Because he's an idiot. I decided to find him something that would run properly, and reliable. The fringe benefit is that his pathetic sack of organs won't end up in anyone else's body. I'm doing the public a favour. So I found this: Clean, inside and out, with about 150,000kms (~95,000 miles). It's a 1993 EX-L, so it's loaded and has a sunroof. Best of all, it …

... I thought I'd share some new pics from the Indian Uprising car show last weekend: Her new exhaust tips, 04+ GP parts: These are my Pontiac diecasts: If you go to my CarDomain page, there's a link to the other Uprising pics I took, many a fine Pontiac on hand. And the Cruisin' Tigers GTO Club should have their own pics up any day now, http://www.cruisintigersgto.com. Thx for lookin'! :D

It's stock except for flowmasters. It runs great. What do you think? It's my dad's not mine, but I plan on owning it soon. He bought it for $3750.

Perhaps you remember my "winter warrior" 1979 Caprice Classic ... and how filthy it was when I bought and subsequently drove it this past winter: http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/1979caprice/Welcome.html'>http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/1979caprice/Welcome.html I've wondered how it might look "all shined up", and a few others told me the same thing.

Here are the two pics I have so far of my Delta...the first one is a bad pic, but thats me standing with my car and the second is well....a rocket baby

So my plans for today were pretty much canceled, and since it was actually pretty nice out (50 degrees) I took the opportunity to give the cars a good interior cleaning, and my car a much needed washing. Enjoy! Up first is the GM. The steering wheel and driver's door have been really dirty since the day we bought the car. Finally, I spent the time cleaning the surfaces of the interior. Makes a huge difference I think.

God that was a lot of work considering the heat (!)

Additional project details later.

So my wife and I headed to the local Buick dealer to see about getting a newer (2001) Century or (2003) Impala. While there the saleperson stated that he had a perfect condition 1996 Park Avenue traded in from an "older" customer. I said I didn't want it, but my wife insisted that we look at it. As it turns out, it not only drove like new, it has less wear and tear than my HHR. It didn't make sense not to buy it. Check out the pictures of the carpet. It almost looks new! You can see the picks at http://www.flickr.com/photos/dsuupr/sets/72157600045197581/ The Park Avenue has the SE pkg, velour interior and base Dynaride suspension. It has 78,600 miles, and all r…

The horn sounds like a dying moose. Hence the name. So my wife and I were facing a choice of putting an engine in her Lumina (camshaft broke from cam bearing wear when it had an intake gasket failure, long before we bought it), or buying something else. The car lot absolved us of responsibility to pay off the note (we only owed $1800) and we took our cash and picked up a Suburban. Now we aren't stuffing four kids in a back seat which isn't even comfortable for three. Now we can put the noisy rowdy 5- and 7-year old kids in the third seat under the very loud rear AC unit, put the babies and the older quieter 12-year old kid in the middle seat, and my wife and I can si…

Hey, I was pretty wowed to make it to 200,000 miles on the original powertrain. I am ecstatic to have made it to 250,000 miles on the original powertrain! The reliability of this 3800 V6 equipped car has been incredible.

So during this "shutdown" on life as we know it, I decided to make use of my time and take some shots of my car since the weather and sun were just right today. And no, I did not vacuum my car before taking these hence my "flaws and all" line lol. Photos are completely unedited and "raw". Keep safe everyone!

Additional details coming soon when I figure out what exactly I'm going to do with it. I'm thinking about a Chevrolet Celebrity headlight conversion, for one ...

Here are some pictures of my Impala taken in my back yard in September 2006. It's Superior blue with the semi-rare blue deluxe cloth interior(sorry, no interior pics at the moment). Other than the deluxe cloth (which has the fold down back seat), it has the 1SB option package, CD/cassette stereo and the aluminum wheels. I added the Impala badges on the fron fenders, and replaced the chrome one on the trunk with a body colored one. Other than that, if you've seen one Impala you've seen them all... just that this one happens to be mine.

As mentioned in the other thread, I swapped my mother's 2011 Terrain SLT-1 AWD with the 3.0L for another brand new 2013 Terrain SLT-1 AWD with the 3.6L exactly 2 years and 30k miles to the day the first one was delivered. No issues with the 2011 and great mileage for the most part, little to no wear either. Still drum solid and tight after all the miles, and the 3.0L continued to be buttery smooth. Really her only complaints stemmed from a lack of HVAC in the rear and abnormal amounts of road noise that started to build with age, throughout the cabin on highway trips. By 30k, other than some dirt, the Michelin tires still looked barely touched and it was about due for th…

Hello i am new to the forums and thought i would post a up a picture or two. Here is my 1997 saab 9000 aero. Doing about 270 HP right now out of my 2.3L 4cyl Turbo charged engine. I have alot of new things planned for my car in the near future. My goal for this next year is to go over 400HP.! -Kaylan Marie

Dad has had his '96 Legacy wagon since summer of '08, and for a $1000 Craigslist find...still one of the best cars ever in the family, period. Insane AWD traction, solidly built, and efficient 2.2L. Bought it with 182k, got over 200k now I think, but in recent months now after no issues has been overheating again & again. Researching the boxer I knew headgaskets were a common item on the 2.5L engine and likely also on the 2.2L, just not as much so. With so many miles and so many years, most likely why. Rather than spend the money to repair, Craigslist time it was again. Called me a month back saying he wished he could find a Baja. Same car but liked the idea of the t…

A 2021 GMC Canyon Denali - White with Cocoa/Dark Atmosphere interior. Big change from the CTS but not the first truck I have had. It's been a number of years now but I have had two S10's and two Rangers through the years. So why a Canyon you ask? Well, I decided I wanted a truck for towing the camper and full size, while very nice, just didn't suit our needs. It doesn't fit in the garage and would be hard to get around when parked in the driveway. I did really want the 3.0L Duramax, though, so I gave it some serious thought. I was either going to get a truck or buy the Cadillac. Eventually decided on either a Colorado or Canyon but the initial stop at a Chevy and …

I just got another car, its a silver 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora 3.5 V6 with 80,000 miles. Drove a couple of Auroras and this one seems the best in terms of condition. I was shocked at how well the 3.5 pulls the car around, and the interior is a very nice black leather. Tomarrow I have to go pick it up and get it registered, I CAN"T WAIT!!!!!

Here's our 1973 Monte Carlo. My father inherited it from my grandfather when he passed away. It's been in the family since new. It's chocolate brown with a tan vinyl inside. And it's got a 454 with 84K original miles. The body and paint are still in great shape, but it needs a little work to be roadworthy. Most of that we did this weekend - fabricating new brake lines and changing out the carburetor. All it needs is a set of tires and valid NYS plates and she'll be on the road again. And in case you guys didn't realize that I'm an Italian from New York, check out the clear plastic seat covers:

Gave the Cutlass it's first bath since October and figured some pictures were in order. The paint color looks fabulous when wet. And now, the aforementioned Brookvillian roamings. The photography isn't the best. I meant to take these in more daylight but washing it turned out to be an all day job. It was a dirty little Beast. Also, I really need to upgrade to a better camera. The annoying auto-focus and inability to take a non-blurry picture in low light is beginning to get on my nerves. Also, yes, next time I take pictures of the Cutlass with the lights on, I should probably make sure they all light up first.

My friend recorded this a while ago, I've just been too lazy to convert it to DivX and upload it. But here it is now. http://media.putfile.com/Achieva-driving-around I had to use some trial version of a converting utility so that's why there's that filmstrip icon and the video got a bit skewed after the conversion but the quality is still there. *EDIT* Larger filesize but will be viewable without having to download Divx codec http://media.putfile.com/DeckasAchieva

More than 3 months after I bought it, I finally got some new pics of both it in general and also some mods I completed. It was a BUSY Easter break, to say the least! First, the car itself.

It's a 1992. In the near-term future, I will have to sell it. I figure that, with less than 20,000 miles to go to hit the BIG 250,000, I'll keep it that long. Ok, the guidebooks say about $ 1,400. ARE THERE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO WOULD PAY $ 1,200 to $ 1,400 for a car (in excellent shape, mind you) that has a QUARTER OF A MILLION MILES?

So we bought my mom a digital camera for Christmas and I thought I'd try it out (she doesn't know we've bought it, but I'm gonna have to know how to use it because I'll have to teach her) on the GTO. Today was 60 (holy crap!) so it was perfect weather for washing and waxing. I also took a video with the camera right under the exhaust pipe, though it didn't capture the sound as well as I hoped (turn speakers up). Anyways, pics... And vid...

I have news.. I have a huge confession to make. As you recall, I had bought the wrong Toronado twice!! Recall I wanted the one on Ebay as it was what I always wanted and the color and interior was correct? Well... This is how it started. The very next day after I sent that weekly email a friend stepped up to the plate. I was busy in my office. He came on the messenger. He asked me had any of my friends offered to help me get that Toronado? I said no. Jo said she told me she was concerned about me. He said do you want the car? I said yes, I do but I do not have all the funds. I have some, not all. He said It is your dream. We are going to to get you that car. I said what…

Been a while since I've had a "toy" car. Decided to buy this 1988 Firebird Formula for my son and I to work on together. He is almost 13 and not at all mechanically inclined. Not so much because he can't be but because I am one of those picky people that would never let him help me because I wanted to make sure it was done right. It's a pretty clean and rust free all original driver but has more than enough flaws (starting with its anemic 305 V8) that I won't feel guilty doing an LS swap on it. I already sourced the engine and trans as well as a far amount of parts for the conversion but with COVID raging here in Michigan I would feel too guilty to order the rest of …

I spent a good portion of Saturday afternoon & early evening and all-day yesterday to clean the entire Pontiac G6 (I even checked all the fluids and installed a new air filter). The car looks better than 'showroom' new and I got a lot of compliments from people passing by. I used my dad's driveway & garage yesterday to clean, wash, wax & detail the exterior of the G6, as my dad has a two-car gargae with one door and I have a two car garage with two doors and a wall separating them (it was easier to wax inside in the shade than in the sun at my house or my tight garage space). I didn't get to take too many pictures, but on the way home stopped by one of my …

Not a big deal... but I still can't believe it happened already. I've worn a hole in my floor mat with my foot. Already. 25,000 km. It's about the size and shape of a small Swiss Army knife, and it's right where my right heel rests while I'm driving. The grey carpet is completely worn away, and I can see the white fabric underneath. Is this kind of thing covered under warranty?

This car is, in fact, the definition of the title. I'm going to keep it well after it's paid off, but perhaps, after this one is paid for, I'll buy a white R/T in some form to keep it company. Better photos are to come (maybe I'll get a custom tag for this one).

So today we finally got the other door on. We also put the horn back on it and painted the rockers. Not professional, but still a big improvement and a cheap and quick way to make it look decent until the real work is done. And here's the old door. Had it inspected after we did the work. Somehow it passed emissions, but more importantly it passed safety without a problem. Good times.

A not so great pic of my Avi, a Christmas present from the hubby, and his red short wide. The bike was new, but it's been traded for an '07 GSXR 600. I'll get a better pic of my baby when the weather clears up.

Well a few months ago I decided to do a little dress up on my grille and add some much needed fog lights. So I decided to do a poor man's billet grille and used 3M chrome body side molding to create the updated grille and then mounted my new oval ( grille shaped) fog lights in the grille. At night the reflection off the chrome and front bumper lights up the grille R which I love.

Yup... It's time for some pics of the GA. I took them about a month ago. I just washed, waxed, and shined it up before I took them. Now for the basic rundown... It's a Spruce green matallic coupe with the 150hp Quad4 and 5spd. It's stock for the most part except for a few things. Currently, though, the headgaskets leak and it ticks. Nothing too serious as it is runable, just have to check the oil for water quite often and keep a close eye on the gauges. Other than that and the need for a new paint job, it's in excellent condition. It has 118,000 miles. I bought it around New Year's and I paid $1000 for it. The very few mods include: Clarion …

A local junkyard has a wrecked 1988 Cadillac Brougham with a supposedly good 307 for $375. The engine in my LeSabre runs fantastically for what it is. It burns/leaks oil and has a rod knock, but it keeps going and going and going. Someday, its going to quit going, I've accepted that. But if I can grab essentially the same engine, tear it down, make sure everything is copacetic, and reassemble it, how difficult would it be to yank the old motor and drop the "new" one? I'm most worried about transmission (THM200-4R, shouldn't be a problem) and emissions devices. We dont have smog testing in this part of the state, so would bypassing all that crap be an option?
